Optimization of the application of melanoidin microcapsules from lycium barbarum residue in wool fabric dyeing process

ABSTRACT The extraction of active substances and other nutrient elements from Lycium barbarum and their application in food, medicine, and cosmetics have always been one of the hot topics for scholars in related fields. However, the residue after the extraction still contains melanoidin, which is an important substance that can be used as an environmentally friendly pigment in the coloring of textiles. Therefore, the rational utilization of the by-products after the processing of Lycium barbarum is the key to sustainable development. For this reason, Lycium barbarum residue was used as the raw material to extract textile-grade dyestuff in this work. The phospholipid microcapsules dyeing process of melanoidin dyestuff from Lycium barbarum residue was optimized by the response surface optimization as follows: liquor ratio of 1:35.15, pH of 4.22 and dyeing temperature of 75.8°C. The results showed that the dyeing temperature reduced by 15°C during the dyeing process by using melanoidins microcapsules dyestuff. Dyed wool fabric with biomordant (pomegranate skin) and after-chrome dyeing has high color fastness, antioxidant, and antibacterial property, which greatly increases the added value of the dyed products.

Performance of Washing-Free Printing of Disperse Dye Inks: Influence of Water-Borne Polymers.

Dye-containing wastewater discharge from the textile industry poses a serious pollution hazard that can be overcome by eliminating the washing step following the dyeing process. To study the washing-free printing of disperse dye ink, a number of water-borne polymers were selected and added to the ink, and the properties of the inks were discussed. By optimizing the ink formulation, printed fabrics with high color strength and color fastness were produced. The effects of the addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) on the ink jetting performance and printing performance were intensively investigated. The migration–diffusion–fixation behavior of disperse dyes in inks on the polyester fiber was explored. The disperse dye ink with 0.075 wt.% PVA exhibited the strongest migration–diffusion effect. The PVA ink exhibited excellent jetting performance and printing color fastness, and the printing color strength was better than that of the PVP and PEG ink. The addition of PVA increased the difference between the solubility parameter of the disperse dyes and ink system, which improved the migration of disperse dyes from the ink system to the polyester fabric. Meanwhile, PVA could form a protective layer on printed fabrics because of its excellent film-forming properties at room temperature. The washing-free inkjet printing method developed in this study provides a theoretical basis for screening water-borne polymers and an environmentally friendly pathway for the printing of textiles.

Cotton fabrics treated with acylhydrazone-based polyviologen to create innovative multi-stimulus responsive textiles

Novel multi-stimuli responsive cotton fibers were developed via spray-coating with an acylhydrazone-based polyviologen (AHPV). Polyviologen was prepared by supramolecular condensation polymerization of bipyridinium dialdehyde with a hydroxyl-substituted aryldihydrazide in an acidified aqueous medium. Transparent AHPV/resin nanocomposite film was deposited onto the surface of cotton fabric by well-dispersion of AHPV as a chromogenic substance in a resin binding agent. Increasing the temperature of the AHPV-coated cotton fabric from room temperature to 85 °C reversibly triggered a change in color from pale yellow (437 nm) to green (607 nm), respectively. The transparent layer immobilized onto the white cotton surface transformed into green under ultraviolet source as demonstrated by CIE Lab parameters. The photochromic impacts were explored at various AHPV. In addition, the AHPV-coated cotton immediately displayed a vapochromic activity upon exposure to NH3(g), and then recovered to pale yellow after removing the ammonia source away. The current AHPV-coated cotton fabric displayed a limit of detection (LOD) to NH3(aq) in the range of 50–150 ppm. The spray-coated cotton fabrics demonstrated a reversible photochromism, thermochromism and vapochromism with high stability. The produced AHPV nanoparticles were also studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), demonstrating particle diameter of 74–92 nm. The mechanical and morphological properties of the spray-coated cotton fabrics were also explored. The surface morphology of AHPV-finished samples was examined by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). No considerable defects were observed in permeability to air and bending length of AHPV-finished samples. Additionally, high colorfastness was monitored for the AHPV-finished cotton substrates. The cytotoxic activity of the AHPV-finished cotton was also examined. Mechanistic study accounting for the multichromic activity of acylhydrazone-based polyviologen is explored.

Bifunctional amphoteric polymer-based ecological integrated retanning/fatliquoring agents for leather manufacturing: Simplifying processes and reducing pollution

The leather industry is moving towards the goals of reducing pollution, simplifying manufacturing processes, and achieving sustainable development. However, there are still challenges in current leather processing methods that make achieving these goals difficult, including low chemical absorption rates, generation of large amounts of contaminated waste, and complex manufacturing processes. Herein, an amphoteric polymer was compounded with castor oil to create an integrated “retanning and fatliquoring” agent (ARFMDD) for post-tanning wet processing of ecological chromium-free organic tanned leather. The amphoteric polymer was prepared by free radical polymerization of 1-Dodecyl-3-vinyl imidazole bromide, dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate, and maleic anhydride. Comprehensive characterization showed that ARFMDD increased the TWS-tanned leather fullness, softness and increased the dye absorptivity up to 98.33%. Moreover, the treated leather had a bright color and high color fastness after dyeing. Impressively, compared to traditional dyeing processes, omitting the acid fixation step for ARFMDD treated leather did not affect the leather performance. The total organic carbon content in waste from the non-acid fixation dyeing process was significantly reduced by 66.49%. The proposed integrated “retanning and fatliquoring” amphoteric polymer system for post-tanning wet processing of leather realizes the overall goals of reducing pollution, increasing the chemical absorption rate, and simplifying the process as well as promoting the sustainable development of the leather industry.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF SLAG-ALKALI DECORATIVE CEMENTS AND MORTAR

The use of slag-alkaline cements as decorative cements is quite promising. When using bleaching additives TiO2, kaolin and CaCO3, white cements with a degree of whiteness of 70...94%were obtained. But in addition to decorative properties, such cements and materials based on them are subject to requirements to ensure the necessary technological and operational properties.The article discusses the main operational properties of decorative slag-alkaline concrete mortars - long-term strength, water-holding capa-city of mixtures, resistance to fflorescence, resistance to steaming and exposure to atmospheric factors(frost resistance, weather resistance, color stability).It has been established that white slag-alkali cements at the age of 28 days have a compressive strength of 49...56,8 MPa. All compositions of white cements have good hardening dynamics and, based on the strength at the age of 2 days 35...37 MPa, they can be classified as fast hardening. It hasbeen established that in the long term (3 months ormore) the strength of slag-alkaline decorative cements practically does not differ from the control compositions and amounts to 66,5...67,5 MPa.All compositions of slag-alkaline decorative solutions demonstrate high frost resistance. It has been established that the loss of their strength after 150 cycles of freezing and thawing (which corresponds to the F200 brand) is only 1,73...3,87%, there are no weight losses, no surface peeling is observed. All samples of slag-alkaline decorative mortars containing bleaching additives successfully passed the weather resistance test. Their strength loss after 100 cycles of soaking and drying amounted to 6,5...9,2% with an allowable 25%.The high color fastness of slag-alkali decorative pigmented cements to the effects of ultraviolet radiation and steaming has been established. Color as a result of exposure to ultraviolet irradiation and thermal treatment has not changed. In addition to industrial mineral pigments, red mud, which is awaste product of alumina production, has been successfully used as a pigment.In the course of the work, the tendency of decorative slag-alkaline solutions to efflorescence was studied. The introduction of 0,25...0,5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose additive completely eliminates their appearance, improves the water-retaining capacity of solutions and their plasticity.

Development of green and sustainable smart biochromic and therapeutic bandage using red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. Var. capitata) extract encapsulated into alginate nanoparticles

Novel multifunctional wound dressing with the ability to protect, cure and sense the healing process, was developed. Red-cabbage extract has been reported to exhibit bioactive compounds with the ability to function as antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral agent, as well as a natural pH-sensory chromophoric material. An anthocyanin extract was prepared from Red-cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. Var. capitata). The anthocyanins extract was encapsulated into calcium alginate in the presence of potash alum mordant, which was then applied to the surface of the cotton gauze. Red-cabbage based anthocyanin chromophoric extract was encapsulated at different concentrations into alginate-based hydrogel and immobilized into cotton gauze to provide a smart therapeutic pH-responsive wound dress to function as an antimicrobial and biochromic matrix providing a comfortable dress sensor to monitor the wound status. Decreasing the pH of a wound mimic solution caused a blue shift from 579 to 437 nm. The anthocyanin spectroscopic probe's halochromic activity demonstrated a colorimetric change from purple to pink, which was critical to the dyed cotton diagnostic assay's biochromic performance. The colorimetric parameters of the prepared dressing sensor were proved by UV–Vis absorbance and CIE Lab coordinates. Both mechanical and morphological properties of the prepared dressing were studied using different analytical methods. The effect of anthocyanin concentration on the mechanical, water vapor permeability, water absorption and morphological properties of the wound dressing were investigated. No substantial flaws in air-permeability or bend length were detected after dyeing. The colored cotton gauze samples were tested for their high colorfastness. The cytotoxicity and antimicrobial activity of the prepared biochromic cotton gauze were explored. The dyed cotton samples exhibited no cytotoxicity and improved antimicrobial activity with increasing the anthocyanin ratio on cotton surface.

Preparation of Structural Color on Cotton Fabric with High Color Fastness through Multiple Hydrogen Bonds between Polyphenol Hydroxyl and Lactam.

Structural coloration is an important way to realize eco-friendly dyeing of textiles. Structural colored cotton fabric was obtained by fabricating a polydopamine (PDA) film on the white cotton fabric at different polymerization reaction times. PDA is prone to generate capillary tension during film formation, which damages the uniformity and interfacial bonding force of the film. Multiple hydrogen bonds will form between the lactam group of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and the phenolic hydroxyl group of PDA. The introduced hydrogen bonds will effectively enhance the interfacial bond strength and lead to structural color with high color fastness. The surface morphology of double-layer aggregates of the PDA film on structural colored cotton fabric was revealed by scanning electron microscopy. The chemical constitution of the PDA film and PVP was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The color characteristics of structural colored cotton fabrics were analyzed by UV-vis reflectance spectroscopy and spectrophotometry.

Natural Crude Dye from Cucurbita Pepo Leaves for Dying, Antimicrobial, and Antioxidant Activities

Owing to environmental concerns, a great attention is given to use plant waste for obtaining natural dyes. Cucurbita pepo (C. pepo) is one of the most abundantly grown seasonal vegetable plants in Pakistan. However, its leaves are of no use after crop season, and consequently, they are usually discarded. Hence, in this study an attempt is made to extract dye from C. pepo leaves for dying textiles and antimicrobial applications. The fractionation of the obtained dye was done by column chromatography while TLC, UV-Vis and FTIR analyses were performed to further evaluate the composition and nature of the obtained dye. The principal constituents of the obtained dye such as alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, proteins and sugar were identified by chemical tests. The dye was successfully applied for dying of synthetic and cotton cloths which showed resistivity and high color fastness even after successive washings. Interestingly, the obtained dye changed color with change in temperature. For evaluating potential biomedical importance of the obtained dye, antibacterial and antioxidant activities were checked. Effective antioxidants as well as antimicrobial activity against E. coli were observed. From the present study, we concluded that the nature, composition, washing, and thermal stability, as well as the potential biomedical applicability of the obtained natural dye from C. Pepo leaves, can be a better option for commercialization in future.

Structural Colored Fabrics with Brilliant Colors, Low Angle Dependence, and High Color Fastness Based on the Mie Scattering of Cu2O Spheres.

Compared with conventional textile coloring with dyes and pigments, structural colored fabrics have attracted broad attention due to the advantages of eco-friendliness, brilliant colors, and anti-fading properties. The most investigated structural color on fabrics is originated from a band gap of multilayered photonic crystals or amorphous photonic structures. However, limited by the nature of the color generation mechanism and a multilayered structure, it is challenging to achieve structural colored fabrics with brilliant noniridescent colors and high fastness. Here, we propose an alternative strategy for coloring a fabric based on the scattering of Cu2O single-crystal spheres. The disordered Cu2O thin layers (<0.6 μm) on the surface of fabrics were prepared by a spraying method, which can generate vivid noniridescent structural color due to the strong Mie scattering of Cu2O single-crystal spheres. Importantly, the great mechanical stability of the structural color was realized by firmly binding Cu2O spheres to the fabric using a commercial binder. The structural color can be tuned by changing the diameter of Cu2O spheres. Furthermore, complex patterns can be easily obtained by spray coating Cu2O spheres with different particle sizes using a mask. According to color fastness test standards, the dry rubbing, wet rubbing, and light fastness of the structural color on fabric can reach level 5, level 4, and level 6, respectively, which is sufficient to resist rubbing, photobleaching, washing, rinsing, kneading, stretching, and other external mechanical forces. This coloring method may carve a practical avenue in textile coloring and has potentials in other practical applications of structural color.

Structural Coloration of Polyester Fabrics with High Colorfastness by Copolymer Photonic Crystals Containing Reactive Epoxy Groups.

Structural color as a revolutionary coloration strategy has been proposed to replace the traditional dyeing and printing process. However, the poor colorfastness and easy crack formation of structural colors on textile fabrics restrict their practical application at present. In this study, poly (tert-butyl acrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate) (P(t-BA-co-GMA)) copolymers containing reactive epoxy groups with different mass ratios of tert-butyl acrylate (t-BA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) were successfully synthesized, which were used to create structural colors on black polyester fabrics. The results showed that P(t-BA-co-GMA) nanospheres could form crack-free structural colors on polyester fabrics, and the colors vary with the mass ratio of t-BA and GMA to obtain five different colors. The different particle sizes of the different P(t-BA-co-GMA) nanospheres with different refractive indexes and the arrangement of short-range ordered and long-range disordered in microstructures may be the reason of different angle-independent structural colors on polyester fabrics. The P(t-BA-co-GMA) nanosphere structural colors on polyester fabrics possess good abrasion and washing colorfastness. This research provides the experimental basis for the development of crack-free amorphous photonic crystal structural color on fabrics with high colorfastness to promote the practical application of structural color in textile coloration.

Extraction of Natural Dye from Aerial Parts of Argy Wormwood Based on Optimized Taguchi Approach and Functional Finishing of Cotton Fabric.

The aerial parts of the Argy Worm Wood (AWW) plant have been used in different Chinese foods as a colorant and a taste enhancer for a long time. Despite its application as a food colorant, it has rarely been considered for the coloration of textiles. Keeping in mind the variation in color strength due to the change in phytochemical contents by seasonal change and other variables, the extraction of AWW aerial parts was optimized using the Taguchi method. Optimization was performed on the basis of total phytochemical contents (phenols, flavonoids, and tannins) in the extracted solutions. For this purpose, two different solvent systems, namely sodium hydroxide/water (NaOH/water) and ethanol/water (EtOH/water), were applied through a simple aqueous extraction method at varying levels of solvent concentration, and extraction temperature and duration. Maximum phytochemicals yield of 21.96% was obtained using NaOH/water system with 9 g/L NaOH/water at 85 °C for 20 min and 25.5% with 75% aqueous ethanol at 85 °C for 40 min. Optimized extracts were characterized by UV-Vis and FTIR spectrophotometry, which showed the presence of multiple phytochemicals in the extracts. The dyeing temperature and time were also optimized. Dyed cotton fabrics showed medium to high colorfastness to washing and excellent antibacterial and UV radiation absorption properties. The effect of pre-mordanting with salts of iron and copper was also studied on the color fastness properties. Cotton fabrics dyed with two different solvent system extracts displayed various shades of brown with NaOH/water, and green with aqueous ethanol with and without pre-mordanting. The present study provides the textile industry with a promising source of functional bio-colorant and a value-adding approach for the AWW plant industry.

Preparation of green and sustainable colorimetric cotton assay using natural anthocyanins for sweat sensing

Herein, we develop a novel smart cotton swab as a diagnostic assay for onsite monitoring of sweat pH changes toward potential applications in monitoring human healthcare and drug exam. Anthocyanin (Ac) can be extracted from Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra using a simple procedure. Then, it can be used as a direct dye into cotton fibers using potash alum as mordant (M) to fix the anthocyanin dye onto the surface of the cotton fabric (Cot). This was monitored by generating mordant/anthocyanin nanoparticles (MAcNPs) onto the fabric surface. The cotton sensor assay demonstrated colorimetric changes in the ultraviolet-visible absorbance spectral analysis associated with a blueshift from 588 to 422 nm with increasing the pH of a perspiration simulant fluid. The biochromic performance of the dyed cotton diagnostic assay depended essentially on the halochromic activity of the anthocyanin spectroscopic probe to demonstrate a color change from pink to green due to intramolecular charge transfer occurring on the anthocyanin chromophore. After dyeing, no significant defects were detected in air-permeability and bend length. High colorfastness was investigated for the dyed cotton fabrics.

Sustainable pilot scale disperse dyeing in a waterless silicone medium dyeing system for no discharge of wastewater

Clean dyeing technologies for polyester textiles, particularly waterless dyeing, have been studied extensively in recent decades. In the present work, a new waterless dyeing technology, the silicone medium dyeing, for polyester textiles had been investigated. The dyeing process of polyester textile in the silicone medium was optimized by determining the dyeing temperature, holding time, type and dosage of dye accelerator. The dye uptake of disperse dye and the fastness properties of the dyed polyester were equivalent to those of conventional water-bathed dyeing. After dyeing, polyester textile had a better color levelness. From the TGA and XRD results, it can be proved that silicone medium has no adverse effects on the fiber and can be used as a dyeing medium. The influence of the increase of halogen in the diazotized component on the affinity, dye uptake, diffusion coefficient, and other parameters was obtained by analyzing the dye uptake of C.I. Disperse Orange 44 and C.I. Disperse Yellow 163. These parameters formulate guidelines for the selection of disperse dyes for silicone medium dyeing system. To verify the feasibility of industrialization, pilot-scale dyeing was carried out. The results showed that, as compared to aqueous dyeing, higher colorfastness and better color levelness were obtained from silicone media. Therefore, this eco-friendly dyeing technology has considerable potential to become a mainstream dyeing method in the foreseeable future.

Monodispersed colored polymer latex particles with film formation and chemical crosslinking for application on textile binder-free printing

Colored polymer latex particles have received widespread attention due to their small particle size, large specific surface area, and brilliant color. In this paper, a polymeric disperse dye (AHAQ) base on anthraquinone chromophore was successfully synthesized. Afterward, a series of silicone modified styrene-acrylate latexes (PSBMA) were prepared by styrene (St), n-butyl acrylate (BA), vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS), and AHAQ through semi-emulsion polymerization. Results of DLS, TEM, and stability tests showed that the PSBMA exhibited monodispersity with a particle size of 78 nm and had excellent dispersion stability. The PSBMA film was obtained by drying PSBMA. The increase of the glass transition temperature (Tg) and weight residual of PSBMA films with the increase of VTMS contents implied the augmentation of crosslinked density. The initial UV-protection factor (UPF value) of PSBMA films was 471, which indicated that the PSBMA films had an excellent UV-protection property. In the testing of aging resistance, the UPF and color difference (ΔE) values of PSBMA films changed slightly after exposure for 10 days, showing an excellent aging-resistance property. Finally, the prepared PSBMA was further applied to textile printing under a binder-free condition through its film formation and chemical crosslinking. Testing of hand feel and color fastness demonstrated that the PSBMA printed fabrics had a softer hand feel and higher color fastness as compared with the conventional pigment printed fabrics.

High-efficiency dispersant-free polyester dyeing using D5 non-aqueous medium

Conventional polyester dyeing with disperse dyes consumes a large amount of freshwater resource and requires a great deal of dispersant, which poses a major challenge to the dyeing and finishing industry. To meet the requirements of clean production and sustainable development, a modified decamethyl-cyclopentasiloxane (D5) non-aqueous medium dyeing system containing a little water was proposed in this study, and the effect and mechanism of a little water on the polyester dyeing were investigated. Both D5 and liquid paraffin non-aqueous medium dyeing systems containing approximately 50% (on weight of fabric, owf) water are observed to significantly improve the dye uptake of disperse dyes and the color strength of dyed fabric with excellent levelness and high colorfastness. The confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) with fluorescent labeling technique confirms the accessibility of water in the surface layer of polyester fiber, and the dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DTMA) reveals the diffusion of water into the polyester fiber, thereby reducing the glass transition temperature (Tg) of polyester fibers by plasticization effect, promoting the movement of fiber molecular chain segments, and enabling the fixation stage of dyeing to be performed at a lower temperature. The dyeing principle of the modified D5 medium dyeing of polyester has enriched the theoretical system of non-aqueous medium dyeing, being conducive to facilitate the development of the sustainable dispersant-free and water saving polyester dyeing technology.

Eco-friendly colorization of textile originating from polydopamine nanofilm structural color with high colorfastness

Traditional textile dyeing industry usually use chemical pigments and dyes, which bring about a large amount of colored wastewater causing serious environmental pollution. Replacing the traditional high pollution dyeing methods to realize eco-friendly dyeing is very important to the textile dyeing industry, structural colorization maybe one of the most promising methods. In this study, a novel approach was proposed to fabricate eco-friendly coloration of textile originating from polydopamine (PDA) structural color nanofilm with high colorfastness. Four different bright colors were obtained by the polymerization of PDA nanofilm with different reaction times on cotton fabric. However, capillary tension during the formation of PDA nanofilm and weak interaction with fabric substrate resulted in cracking and poor colorfastness. The novel synthesis adhesive of poly (glycidyl methacrylate co-polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate) containing reactive epoxy groups was used to avoid cracking and improve the colorfastness which would form covalent bond on the interface between structural color film and substrate. Therefore, crack-free PDA structural color nanofilm with high colorfastness on cotton fabric surface was obtained. This facile approach provide novel idea for eco-friendly dyeing different kinds of textiles with structural color boosting the cleaner dyeing in textile industrial field.

Biomimetic fabrication of melanin-like polydopamine nanofilm coating for structural colorization of textile

Structural colors originating from melanin in nature have attracted great attention in recent years. Structural colorization is an eco-friendly dyeing method which may be a substitute of the traditional highly polluting dyeing method. In this study, the structural color originating from biomimetic melanin-like polydopamine (PDA) nanofilm coating on flexible silk fabric and its color performance have been studied. Five different bright structural colors were obtained through the different polymerization reaction time of PDA nanofilm coating. However, the prepared structural colors nanofilm coating exist cracking and poor colorfastness due to the capillary tension during the formation of PDA film and the weak interaction with fabric substrate. P(GMA-co-PEGMA) copolymer containing reactive epoxy groups was used to improve the interface bonding strength between PDA film and substrate by forming covalent bond. The introducing covalent bond will be beneficial for the improving interface bonding strength, thus to obtain high colorfastness structural color coating. This research would provide experimental basis for the fabrication of crack-free and high colorfastness structural color coating originating from biomimetic melanin-like PDA nanofilm which would achieve the application in textile colorization.

Novel push–pull tricyanofuran-based disperse dyes demonstrated high extinction coefficient, good antimicrobial performance and high colorfastness on polyester fibers.

증류수와 에탄올로 추출한 어성초 염액의 색소 특성 및 염색성

The objective of this study was to determine characteristics of ethanol and distilled water extracts of Hottuynia codata and examine their dyeing properties by dyeing cotton and silk fabrics using different extraction and dyeing conditions. After measuring color fastness, antibacterial properties and deodorizing properties of dyed fabric, the following conclusions were obtained. Monosaccharides of phenols tannin and quercetin glycosides were extracted from Hottuynia codata. More flavonoid-based colorant was extracted with ethanol than with distilled water. Distilled water mainly extracted tannins. The ethanol extract showed the presence of chlorophyll. Cotton and silk fabrics showed YG color after they were dyed with ethanol extract. They showed Y color after they were dyed with distilled water extract. Dyeability of ethanol extract was higher than that of distilled water extract and that of silk fabric was greater than that of cotton fabric. As the concentration of the extract increased, the amount of dyeing increased. At dyeing temperature of 80°C with dyeing time of 60 minutes, a relatively high dyeability was found. Dyed fabrics showed high color fastness except for color fastness to sunlight. The fabric dyed with ethanol extract showed higher antibacterial activity and deodorization than that dyed with distilled water extract.
