Abstract
Bio-preparation is a developing and promising method for lowering the consumption of chemicals specially in wet finishing where plenty of these compounds are used. In this study, samples of jute yarns were bio-finished by cellulase, xylanase, pectinase, laccase enzymes, and their mixtures. Then, they were scoured, bleached, and dyed with basic and/or direct dyes in conventional methods. Samples were analyzed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, reflective spectrophotometer, mechanical tester, and then compared. FTIR peaks of enzymatic-treated samples showed aldehyde absorption peaks, and also changes in carbonyl groups of hemi-cellulose and aromatic –CH– out of plane vibration in lignin. The whiteness and brightness index values of jute yarns improved before and after bleaching. Pectinase-treated jute yarn enhanced yarn count compare to other enzymatic or NaOH treatment. All enzymatic or NaOH treatments decreased the tenacity of jute yarns. Xylanase and cellulose treatments showed lower tensile strength than others. Pectinase and laccase enzymes increased dye strength of the jute yarn that dyed by direct dye, while cellulase, xylanase, and pectinase did the same for basic dye.
