Objectives: The present investigation was aimed to investigate the antibacterial and antifungal activity of natural dye from toon bark. Methods: Antibacterial and antifungal efficiency of natural dye were evaluated against gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aurous, gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Chrysosporium fungus, Fusarium oxysporium fungus using agar well diffusion method. Result: The dye was found to have potent antibacterial activity against all the test bacteria at all the tested concentrations. Highest antibacterial activity against all the test bacteria was recorded with 400 mg/ml treatment. The dye was found to have potent antifungal activity against all the test bacteria at all the tested concentration. Higher antifungal activity against all the test fungal 400mg/ml treatment. Conclusion: The study concluded that different selected barks can be a potential source of natural dye with remarkable antibacterial and antifungal potency which can applied in fabric for protective clothing.

Today the protection of the environment has become a challenge for chemical industries worldwide, among which the textile industry uses a fairly large number of chemicals dyeing and printing. So we have to use the eco-friendly natural dye to reduce the textile industry pollution in the environment. In the present study evaluated the visual evaluation of Khadi fabric dyed with antibacterial and antifungal natural dye. In this study eight dye (Toon, Gular, Bargad, Jamun bark and Shisham, Mehndi, Guava, Ashok leaves) were selected to extract the dye. After extraction, the dye Khadi fabric was dyed with natural dye. Dye sample color properties were tested and then construct the garment (Hanky, Sameej, and Scarf) to test the visual evaluation of natural dyed Khadi fabric. 640 responses were used for the study. Naturally dyed Khadi fabrics sold the customer to check the visual evaluation. The questionnaires were used to collect data after using the Khadi dyed fabric. After collecting the data we analyzed the data and we found that result was good. Hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance using the 't' test. We found that all samples were accepted as a good quality of the dye. The 't' test was significant at 0.05 level of significance. The dye sample was accepted by the customer for their different quality like texture, color, appearance, brightness, and smoothness.
