Research demonstrates that dyeing with Hibiscus sabdariffa improves fabric fastness, indicating its potential as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes.
Key Points
Environmental concerns around synthetic dyes drive interest in natural alternatives.
Hibiscus sabdariffa dye shows high absorption in wool compared to cotton, enhancing its use in sustainable fashion.
Characterization includes analysis of anthocyanins and compounds through UV-Visible and FTIR methods.
Mordanting with aluminium sulfate yields the best wash fastness results, promoting sustainable textile practices.
