Abstract
Deodoring finish can not only remove the odours of textiles but also increase the value-added of the products. Deodorizing and antibacterial textiles has gained much popularity in the market. This study is focused on the development of deodorizers and bacterial resistant finished fabric using herbal oil combination. The two different essential oil like Cypress oil and Thyme oil were combined in three combinations like (1:1), (2:1) and (1:2) and was finished on 50:50 Bamboo/Tencel blended fabric by dip-dry method. The finished fabric was analysed for deodorising activity by Oraganoleptic test method and anti-bacterial activity by AATCC 100-2004 test method. The result showed essential oil combination (2:1) ratio had excellent deodorizing property and also the result indicates good efficiency against both the bacteriae Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in (1:2) essential oil combination ratio.
