This study is intended to scrutinize the consequence of extraction conditions of Lawsonia Inermis (henna) leaves on the color strength values of dyed fabric. Extraction pH, M:L ratio, and time were optimized using central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). We investigated how the maximum colour strength values were obtained at pH 6.64 in about 78 minutes extraction with an M:L ratio of 1:44. ANOVA results showed that all the extraction parameters significantly affect the colour strength values of dyed samples. 99% variation in the response was indicated in the 2 nd-order regression equation for K/S. The fastness properties with respect to light, washing, and rubbing were quite satisfactory of dyed samples under optimized extraction conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
