Title: Antimicrobial textile finish using certain plants
Post by: shimo on September 08, 2013, 07:55:27 PM

The major antimicrobial agents for textile coating are chemical agents which have
toxic and environmental issues. Several natural dyes obtained from plants exhibit strong antimicrobial properties. Therefore, coating of antimicrobial plant natural dyes and   bioactive plant extract on to cotton fabrics is an emerging technology in the production of medical cloths. The pomegranate, neem and turmeric extracts coated on fabrics exhibit more antimicrobial efficiency on gram negative bacteria than gram positive bacteria.

The leaves of neem (Azadiracta indica), fruit rind of pomegranate (Punica granatum) and rhizome of turmeric (Curcuma longa) were selected for extracting natural products to fabrics.
