Textile Application of Natural Colourant from the Roots of Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms

چکیده
Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms is a free-floating aquatic macrophyte growing normally to a height of 0.5 m to 1 m. This weed causes, substantial economic and ecological harm, warranting its removal, lest the impacts of the weed should become permanent. From an ecological perspective, the most effective, management approach is to make use of the weed for various purposes. The present study offers the novel scheme for utilization of roots of this invasive weed plant. In this instance the 80% methanol extract and methanol fraction from the roots of this weed were tested for its colouring properties on different textile substrates viz. wool, nylon, silk, cotton and polyester. Open beaker and infra red colouring based methods were utilized for colouring of different textile fabric substrates. The colour fastness testing and colorimetric evaluation of the coloured samples has been carried out employing standard methods. The 80% methanol extract as well as the methanol fraction exhibited good colouring property on wool, nylon and silk. The presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, quinones, phenols and other phytochemicals enables good colour yield/depth of 80% methanol extract and methanol fraction on substrates. Thus, the colour extract from the roots may prove to be effective for conventional colouring and may provide commercial importance of this natural colourant for textile applications.

New record of Eichhornia crassipes (Water Hyacinth) from north of Iran
In October 2012, in a survey in order to study the flora of paddy fields and aquatic ecosystems of Gilan province (N Iran), we encountered an unknown species in “Aynak lagoon” in southeast of Rasht, covered surface of about 12 ha pond densely. Comparing the flora of pond with previous years or adjacent ponds showed that, the new weed was dominant in interference with natural flora of aquatic ec...

Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms possess many antioxidants like glutathione, ascorbic acid etc. Two skin creams of the ethyl acetate extract of E.crassipes were evaluated for its antiageing efficacy by DNA damage inhibition assay and DPPH radical scavenging assay. The DNA damage inhibition and DPPH radical scavenging ability offered by the skin creams increased with increase in concentration ...
