Abstract
The present research investigates the use of biocolorants (Anthocyanin and chlorophyll) extracted from Cinnamomum camphora waste/fallen leaves to develop natural and beautiful shades on wool fibers. Simple aqueous extraction followed by the evaluation of build-up properties using binary metal combinations (ferrous sulfate/Fe, copper sulfate/Cu, and aluminum potassium sulfate/Al) as mordants were studied in due course of this study. The dyeing was carried out by the exhaust dyeing method and the dyed samples were analyzed through reflectance spectroscopy in terms of color strength, CIELAB, and CIELCH values. The results showed that overall 19 shades of different hue and tone were produced. A comparative colorimetric analysis of characteristic variables between single and mix metal mordanted samples was also done. One-way ANOVA analysis was used to compare the significant differences between individual components and synergetic role in two different combinations. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to find out any positive or negative correlation between different combinations.
