Aqueous extract of sappanwood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) was treated using acid-base and mordant additions in order to expand the intensity and spectra of the colors. The colorant molecule of sappanwood was brazilein, which gained its color characteristics through its double bonds. The results of this study confirmed three basic mechanisms which formed the fundamental for systematic optimization of natural dye applications. Acid addition induced protonation of the hydroxyl groups in the brazilein structure so that the electrons were distributed in the molecule more evenly. Therefore, the color intensity was reduced. Basic treatment created deprotonation of the hydroxyl groups and hence localized the electron on several spots. This made the color of the extract shifted to deeper tones. The addition of mordant created more significant change in color spectrum through the mechanism of chelation to form coordinated complexes. Transitional metals from group 1 and 2 did not chelate strongly so that the spectrum shift was not very obvious. However, transitional metals from group 3 had strong chelating character and consequently they could strongly bind the dye molecules to increase its intensity and shift the spectrum towards deeper colors. 1 Introduction modern era with wider uses as food colorant p indicator, and dye-sensitied solar cell [2] The plant of sappanwood or “kayu secang” in Bahasa Indonesia Caesalpinia sappan L.) is considered a common plant in tropical region, including ndonesia t is known as medicinal plant with various enefits. The claim of its pharmacological effect ranges from anti- inflammatory up to cancer cell inhiitor [1]. The heartwood of this sappanwood Fig. is known as the source of railin ig. a and railein ig. b) the (a) Brazilin (b) Brazilein oxidated form of railin), which are both the active compounds in the wood to hae the pharmaceutical Fig. 2. tructure of railin and railein as the active benefits. compounds in sappanwood extract [3] Brailein color spectra cover the range of yellow- red depending upon the p of the solution and the mordanting agents used in the dyeing process [3], ] ordant is the chemicals added in the dyeing process to bind the chromophores into the tetile fiers. Besides fixation function, ordants, which are the salts of transition metals also play important role in changing Fig. 1. Shaved heartwood of sappanwood the depth of the color and creating various shades of the same origin [5]. According to the classic Reichs-Aussch Brailin is colorless, ut railein ears natural für Lieferbedingungen (RAL) system for color color widely used in tetile dyeing practices as water- standardization, the possible colors obtainable from soluble natural dye This natural color had een detected sappanwood extract are presented in Fig. 3. Both the in ancient farics to prove its attractieness as tetile spectrum and the intensity of the colors could be created dyes. Although it has een known and used for such a from the same original extract of sappanwood by long time its popularity still een increases into the changing pH and addition of metal ions of the mordant salts [5], [6]. * Corresponding author: [email protected] © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
