In a step towards ecofriendly practices in present study natural eco -friendly dye was extracted from petals of Delonix regia which performed well on cotton fabric with respect to its stability and quality leaving pleasant odor on fabric besides, on phytochemical analysis 70% ethanolic extract showed presence of Alkaloids, Carbohydrates, Cardiac glycosides, Flavonoids, Phenols, Amino acids and proteins, Saponins, Tannins and Terpenoids. On the other hand Fats and oils, Oxalates, Quinones, Sterols and Phlobatannins were reported to be absent and further the extract showed antimicrobial properties against two fugal (Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans,) and three bacterial (E. coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) species proving that the dye can be exclusively used to produce skin -friendly, antimicrobial sports clothing.
