Abstract
Silk finds an important place for its elegance, softness, luster, sheen, strength, uniformity suitable for the production of respective valuable textile garments and apparels. Due to the amphoteric character of silk protein polymer, the overall behavior of silk will be enriched when it is applied with natural resources. Based on these considerations, it is proposed in this research work to treat mulberry silk fabric with recovered sericin protein in addition with natural finishing sources like aloevera, amla and nochi in varied combinations followed by coloration with some selected natural sources. After these applications, the silk fabric was undergone for some testing for the determination of color value, fastness behavior, tensile strength, absorbency character, anti-odor and retention aspects, and FTIR graphs. The outcome of the results are convinced to the expectations suitable for the applications in the textile industries for garment and apparel utilities.
