- Dyes derived
from natural materials such as plant leaves, roots, bark, insect
secretions, and minerals were the only dyes available to mankind for
the coloring of textiles until the discovery of the first synthetic
dye in 1856
- Textiles
colored with natural dyes are preferred by environmentally conscious
consumers and today there is a niche market for such textiles.
- The root and
bark of the tree Morinda citrifolia growing in India and Sri Lanka
is used for getting red shades
- Various
shades including purple and chocolate can be produced
- Antraquinone
is a group of natural red dye found in the root of Morinda sp
- The effective
extraction of the red pigment from the plant’s root could be done by
continueously extraction of the dried root powder with methanol.
- Separation of
major components of red pigments from the crude extract of Morinda
angustifolia Roxb.var. scabridula Craib. root is done by column
chromatography
- Increase
production of anthraquinone dye could be obtained on solid culture
of Morinda angustifolia root cells.
- Not only the
fruit even the leaves, bark and root of Morinda citrifolia have been
commercially exploited for the preparation of dyes, facial creams,
soaps, lotion, tea, etc
- With the
advent of synthetic dyes, the limitation of natural dyes became
louder, such as Lesser
availability of dye producing materials due to difficulty in
collection or lack of organized plantation/
farming of the dye‐ plants, Poor color yield, Complexity of dyeing
process, Non‐reproducibility of shades,
Limited number of dyes, sometimes Inadequate fastness properties,
due to these problems encountered
with natural dyes, the development of synthetic dyes came into
existence. The advent of synthetic dyes
led to the collapse of huge natural dye industry. The development of
synthetic dyes at the beginning of
the twentieth century led to a more complete level of quality and
more reproducible techniques of
application.
- Natural dyes
per se are sustainable as they are renewable and biodegradable but
they cannot fulfill the huge demand from the textile sector
