Abstract
In the present day, numerous researchers have paid more attention to the dyeing and finishing quality of environmentally friendly textile products in the world because the lack of outstanding products is an alarming problem. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to treat the fabric with cellulase enzymes to improve the dyeing and finishing quality. The effects of varying chemical concentrations, temperatures, and processing times were examined in the model and different process parameters were optimized in the preparation biosingeing process. The results of the Box–Behnken design were obtained as R2 = 0.7243, 0.9027, and 0.9966 for optimum absorbency, weight loss, and tensile strength, respectively. The treated fabric was analyzed using FTIR to know the unknown functional group and the chemical bonds on the fabric molecule. Testing of physical properties of the treated fabric was done and the result was comparable with other untreated fabrics. The treated fabric performance was studied at 40, 50, and 60 minutes and at temperatures of 30, 55, and 80°C. The experimental investigation has been carried out to determine the effect of biosingeing on different physical parameters, such as the tensile strength of treated cotton fabric (437 N), which was almost similar to that of the untreated fabric (443 N), with almost no significant differences. K/S value for the biosingeing fabric of treated fabric was 17.58, but the that of the untreated fabric was 15.6, which was significantly different. Thus, the enzymatically treated fabric is of good quality because the protruding fiber was removed in biosingeing process. This ecofriendly singeing preparatory process is an alternative process for terry towel fabrics.
Highlights
Textile processing consists of multistage processes starting from fiber production to the finished fabric. e finishing and dyeing process is a stage where specific properties are imparted into fabrics; changing their appearance and improving their resistance to water, chemical, biological, physical, mechanical, and general wear, which is providing several features producing multifunctional textiles [1]. e wet processing stages facilitate the conversion of the grey fabric into the desired textile products and vary according to the nature of the cellulosic fabrics and the type of finished products [2]
Biosingeing of cotton fabric, consequences of fabric dyeing, and finishing quality removal of hairiness or protruding fiber due to the breaking of weak chain change the physical properties. e effect of independent variables on response variables was examined, and the model’s optimum points of operational parameters were predicted. e treatment optimizations concerning time, temperature, and amount of enzyme concentration using the significance of the optimization methods were checked through analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis and 3D plots can be drawn for a different combination of parameters that exhibit the trend of variation of response within the selected range of input parameters and the influence of each parameter over the other parameters
E most important parameters were checked after biosingeing of 100% cotton twill woven fabrics. e design, experiments, and results of the 15 trials are presented. e tests were performed in the standard testing atmosphere, i.e., 65 ± 2% R.H. and 20 ± 2°C

E finishing and dyeing process is a stage where specific properties are imparted into fabrics; changing their appearance and improving their resistance to water, chemical, biological, physical, mechanical, and general wear, which is providing several features producing multifunctional textiles [1]. It is a complex process, and its complexity depends on the composition of the textile material. Textile preparatory and finishing processing is a growing industry that traditionally has used a lot of water, energy, and harsh chemicals. e singeing process is replaced with an environment-friendly approach using enzymes [5]
