ABSTRACT: The majority of natural colourants are of vegetable origin from plant sources –roots, berries, barks, leaves, wood and other organic sources such as fungi and lichens. In the medicinal and food products apart from active constituents there are several other ingredients present which are used for either ethical or technical reasons. Colouring agent is one of them, known as excipients. The discovery of man-made synthetic dye in the mid-19th century triggered a long decline in the large-scale market for natural dyes as practiced by the villagers and tribes. The continuous use of synthetic colours in textile and food industry has been found to be detrimental to human health, also leading to environmental degradation. Biocolours are extracted by the villagers and certain tribes from natural herbs, plants as leaves, fruits (rind or seeds), flowers (petals, stamens), bark or roots, minerals such as prussian blue, red ochre & ultramarine blue and are also of insect origin such as lac, cochineal and kermes. -

Plant Dye Identification in Japanese Woodblock Prints
Plant Dye Identification in Japanese Woodblock Prints Michele Derrick, Joan Wright, Richard Newman oodblock prints were first pro- duced in Japan during the sixth Wto eighth century but it was not until the Edo period (1603–1868) that the full potential of woodblock printing as a means to create popular imagery for mass consumption developed. Known broadly as ukiyo-e, meaning “pictures of the float- ing world,” these prints depicted Kabuki actors, beautiful women, scenes from his- tory or legend, views of Edo, landscapes, and erotica. Prints and printed books, with or without illustrations, became an inte- gral part of daily life during this time of peace and stability. Prints produced from about the 1650s through the 1740s were printed in black line, sometimes with hand-applied color (see figure 1). These col- ors were predominantly mineral (inorganic) pigments supplemented by plant-based (organic) colorants. Since adding colors to a print by hand was costly and slowed pro- duction, the block carvers eventually hit upon a means to create a multicolor print using blocks that contained an “L” shaped groove carved into the corner and a straight groove carved further up its side in order to align the paper to be printed (see figure 2). These guides, called kento, are located Figure 1.

It shimmers like an art display in its own right, facing in towards Foreword the glass central courtyard in Renzo Piano’s wonderful 2014 extension to the Harvard Art Museums. The collection seems, somehow, suspended within the sky. From the public galleries it is tantalising, almost intoxicating, to see the glass-fronted cases full of their bright bottles up there in the administra- tive area of the museum. The shelves are arranged mostly by hue; the blues are graded in ombre effect from deepest midnight to the fading in- digo of favourite jeans, with startling, pleasing juxtapositions of turquoise (flasks of lightest green malachite; summer sky-coloured copper carbon- ate and swimming pool verdigris) next to navy, next to something that was once blue and is now simply, chalk. A few feet along, the bright alizarin crimsons slake to brownish brazil wood upon one side, and blush to madder pink the other. This curious chromatic ordering makes the whole collection look like an installation exploring the very nature of painting. -
ABSTRACT YI, DING. a Comparison of Mordant and Natural Dyes In
ABSTRACT YI, DING. A Comparison of Mordant and Natural Dyes in Dyeing Cotton Fabrics. (Under the direction of Dr. Harold S. Freeman and Dr. Peter J. Hauser). Mordant dyes constitute a class of synthetic colorants that are applied to textile fibers mainly through the aid of transition metal ions such as Cr3+. The resultant dye-metal complexes are key to the fastness properties produced on wool. In the same way, most natural dyes require the use of a mordant to have coloring power on textiles such as cotton. Unlike mordant dyes on wool, the fastness properties of natural dyes on cotton are generally quite low. Consequently, they have largely been replaced by synthetic dyes that are more cost effective, brighter, and more durable under end-use applications. Interest in green technologies has led to renewed consideration of natural dyes for textile coloration because they are biodegradable and do not involve manufacturing processes requiring genotoxic aromatic amines. Interestingly, such a shift would bring dyeing technology full circle to a family of colorants lacking the vibrancy and technical properties of most synthetic dyes. However, similarities between the dyeing method for mordant and natural dyes brought to mind the potential for reducing the level of synthetic dyes used commercially by combining suitable dyes from these two classes for dyeing textiles. This thesis research was devoted to stage 1 of this idea, namely the evaluation of mordant dyes as colorants for cotton fabric. With this in mind, dyes such as Mordant Blue 13, Mordant Brown 40, Mordant Orange 6 and Mordant Yellow 8 were applied to cotton using various dyeing times, temperatures, dye bath concentrations and mordants. -
Influence of Natural and Artificial Mordants on the Dyeing Performance of Cotton Knit Fabric with Natural Dyes

Rashedul Islam1, Salima Sultana Shimo2 and Rasheda Begum Dina1 1(Department of Wet Process Engineering, Bangladesh University of Textiles, Dhaka, Bangladesh) 2(Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, Bangladesh University of Textiles, Dhaka, Bangladesh) Corresponding Author: Shuvo Brahma Abstract: This work aims on an effort to determine the effect of some natural and artificial mordants on various natural dyes for cotton fabric dyeing. As natural mordant Eucalyptus Bark, Arjun Bark and Khair was used on cotton knit fabric under the treatment of three natural dyes namely Marigold, Eucalyptus leaf and Henna. As artificial mordants, potash alum and tannic acid were used along with natural mordants for further improvement of color strength. The cotton knit fabrics were scoured & bleached before dyeing. Concentrations of mordants were varied. Color strength and wash fastness properties were evaluated to determine the best mordant for particular dyes. It was observed that both the color strength and wash fastness properties increased with the application of mordants especially artificial mordants. Keywords: Natural dye, Natural Mordant, Artificial Mordant, Color strength, Fastness Properties. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
Analysis of Natural Dyes and Metal Threads Used in 16Th
Shibayama et al. Heritage Science (2015) 3:12 DOI 10.1186/s40494-015-0037-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Analysis of natural dyes and metal threads used in 16th -18th century Persian/Safavid and Indian/Mughal velvets by HPLC-PDA and SEM-EDS to investigate the system to differentiate velvets of these two cultures Nobuko Shibayama1*, Mark Wypyski1 and Elisa Gagliardi-Mangilli2 Abstract Introduction: Analyses of natural dyes and the metal of the metal-wrapping threads used in 16th -18th century Persian/Safavid and Indian/Mughal period velvets were performed on these textiles in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The purpose was to determine whether velvets from the two cultures, which have shown problems in the past with attribution based on historical and iconographical studies, could be more precisely differentiated with the additional evidence from identification of their natural dyes and metals along with information of weaving techniques. Dyes and metal of the metal-wrapped threads from fifteen Persian velvets and six Indian velvets were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography with photo diode array detector and by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry respectively. Results: There seem to be types of dyes which specifically characterize the velvets of each culture, as well as types of dyes commonly found in velvets of both cultures. Dyes typical of Persian velvets are cochineal and yellow larkspur, while lac and turmeric are characteristic of Indian velvets. The dyes commonly found are a combination of yellow larkspur and indigo dye in green, as well as safflower, indigo dye, soluble redwoods, and tannin dye. -
