African marigold [Tagetes erecta L.], a major source of carotenoids and Lutin, is grown as a cut flower and a garden flower, in addition to being grown for its medicinal values. Marigold flowers [Tagetes ], which are yellow to orange red in colour, are a rich source of lutein, a carotenoid pigment. Nowadays, Lutein is becoming an increasingly popular active ingredient used in the Food Industry ...

Application of natural dyes in textile coloring has been widely used because it is more environmentally friendly than synthetic and able to produce various colors from one dye. In this study, cotton fabric was treated with chitosan at different concentrations (0, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%) determine its effect on the color fastness using mango leaves extract as dyes. Fastness ironing, washing sun drying ...

The synthesis of a new yellow fluorescent 4-(2-methylamino)-ethyloxy-N-PAMAM-1,8-naphthalimide from zero generation has been described. The chemical structure of synthesized dendrimers was confirmed using FT-IR, 1HNMR and DSC techniques. The new materials are comprised of a 1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore having a substituent at C-4 position. The synthesized compounds (P2 and P3) were ...

Carthamin, the natural dye of carthamus tinctorius (Golrang) was separated by soxhlet extraction and further purified in good yields. Its mordant dyeing of wool, using potassium dichromate as mordant, showed a high washing fastness (above 4). Mordanting by "sweet chrome", "sour chrome", and "reduced chrome" proved that last one to be superior.

Introduction: Several new bifunctional reactive dyes of the Sumifix Supra range that carry monochlorotriazine and sulphato ethyl sulphone reactive systems were developed and their dyeing performance studied. Suitable characteristic properties and fastness properties were examined over the knitted cotton fabrics. The dyes were characterized by spectral data and elemental analysis. The dyes struc...

The recent pandemic scenario has caused demand for green products that have medicinal aspects, as well greener approaches global health. Natural dye from plants, particularly harmal seeds, is an excellent alternative to carcinogenic yellow synthetic dyes. current study been conducted isolate natural colorants seeds in methanolic medium through Gamma-Assisted Extraction (GAE). dyeing variables a...

Series of novel dichromophoric cyanine dyes based on 2-aminobenzothiazoles and 3-amino-1,2,4 -triazole have been synthesized in high yields. All the dyes have been classified as disperse dyes. Besides their electronic spectroscopic properties, high dye-uptakes on polyester, excellent fastness properties, highly extinction coefficients, and broad solvatochromic effects have been observed in thes...
