Fungal decolorization demonstrates improved durability in cotton fabric, suggesting biological methods may replace chemical alternatives.

This research aims to optimize a biological stripping process for removing dyes from cotton fabric using Trametes versicolor.
Investigated Trametes versicolor for dye decolorization.
Optimized the stripping process via response surface methodology under central composite design.
Analyzed significance using analysis of variance.
Achieved 56.80% discoloration of cotton fabric.
No influence of color strength on fabric strength was found.
Biological methods proved better for quality and stripping percentage compared to chemical methods.

A 2019 study studied this question.
