Abstract
Jute fibres are conventionally treated with Jute Batching Oil (JBO), a petroleum based fibre lubricant prior to its processing into yarns. The typical kerosenic smell of JBO seriously affects the consumers’ acceptance of jute products particularly value-added hometextiles application. Eventually to invade into hometextiles market, jute products need to avoid such typical odour, though under current practice use of JBO is an integral part of jute fibre processing. To find out an alternate solution, innovative approach of durable aroma/fragrance finishing on jute based textiles has been thought of for masking its bad odour permanently in regards to high-end applications. The present study envisages development of Jasmine oil containing aroma microcapsules from Melamine-Formaldehyde and application of aroma microcapsules on jute-cotton blended fabric in order to impart durable aroma finish. Suitable cross-linker (binder) has also been identified for attaching microcapsule effectively onto ligno-cellulosic textile surface. Effect of partial de-lignification of jute fabric has been examined to improve the effectiveness of binder as well as durability of aroma finishing. Characterizations of aroma microcapsules and washing durability of aroma finish have been carried out using both analytical and human sensory evaluation methods.
