Summary
A growing interest in natural dyes in textile application is mainly due to its environmental friendly, an alternative economical, harmony with nature and biodegradability property. There is an excessive use of synthetic dyes, estimated at around 10,000,000 tons per annum, the production and application of which release vast amounts of waste and unfixed colorants, causing serious health hazards and disturbing the ecobalance of nature [1] Having this in mind, many scientists focused on extraction and standardization of natural dye to be used in textile coloration as an alternative of synthetic dyes. Cassia singueana plant was used as natural colorant in Ethiopia for dyeing of silk and tanned leather materials The extract of this plant was used in northern Nigeria for the treatment of anti- microbial and acute malaria attack [2,3]. It has been noted that, the K/S value/color strength was good at 80 °C
