“…Cotton fabric was pre treated with oxygen plasma and grafted with onion pulp extract at 70 °C for different dilution. The zone of inhibition values obtained was proportional to the grafting time of pulp onion extraction, as suggested by Chen 34 . The Broad spectrum activity of onion has been reported by Škergetet al,2009 35 after the antibacterial and antifungal activity of onion skin extract was tested against E.coli, P.fluoresences, B.cereus and A.niger.…”

Antimicrobial textiles have gained much attention and popularity in the market and in day-today life during the last two decades. The textile industries continue to introduce different methods in their production to enhance the quality of their products and to satisfy their customers. Increased competition in the industry has lead to the development of different synthetic antimicrobial agents. Though these synthetic agents are used widely, they pose a threat to both the users and the environment. Taking into consideration these threatening issues, several environmental bodies have implemented rules in the use of synthetic agents. On the contrary, the natural antimicrobial agents which have less adverse effect on humans and are eco friendly, are gaining much attention. Several natural agents such as basil (active agent is eugenol), neem (active limnoids like azadirachtin, nimbinin), turmeric (curcumin), clove oil, chitosan, sercin, onion, aloevera and pomegranate have antimicrobial properties. This review paper highlights the different natural antimicrobial sources, their effect on public and the possibilities of using these agents in textiles to impart antimicrobial properties and to develop different products.

“…enriches the natural coloration process while enhancing the antimicrobial properties of the fibre. In a similar study conducted by Chen and Chang [231], plasma treatment was suitably introduced as a replacement for metallic mordant treatment, recording impressive results. They used low-temperature microwave plasma to treat cotton fabric prior to grafting with onion skin and onion pulp extracts in order to impart antimicrobial properties to cotton fabrics.…”

The antimicrobial finishing of textiles has attracted research attention lately due to demands for a healthy lifestyle. As a result, several synthetic and natural antimicrobial agents for textiles have been developed over the years. Recently research into antimicrobials agents of natural origin have become more popular due to their enormous therapeutic potential and effectiveness in the treatment of infectious diseases while mitigating the side effects of the synthetic antimicrobials. Research into these natural biocides for textiles has seen increasing consumers awareness for two reasons, namely the potential negative impact of synthetic biocides on health versus the benefits of natural biocides, and the increasing rate of microbial resistance to most natural biocides. The immense literature on natural biocides suggests the preparedness of the research community and industry in addressing the environmental and health challenges associated with synthetic antimicrobial agents in response to the new consumer demands. This review focuses on the advances in natural antimicrobial agents and various methods of their application. Literature suggest that natural antimicrobial agents have chalked some success in terms of efficacy and wash durability, with minimal effect on the tensile strength of fabrics.

“…Chen and Chang [117] have applied extract of onion skin on plasma pretreated cotton fabric to obtain simultaneous coloring and antimicrobial finishing effect where the plasma-pre-treated cotton samples subsequent dyed/grafted with extract of onion skin showed measurable inhibition zone against S. aureus around 1.1-0.8 cm inhibition for 10 min grafting time with onion skin extract and 0.7-0.5 cm inhibition zone for 30 min grafting time of onion skin extract.…”

A comprehensive review on application of natural dyes on textiles and earlier research findings has been discussed in this chapter. Moreover, recently the consumers have become very much conscious about the environment, renaissance of eco-friendly products and process like dyeing textiles with natural dyes, which has thus become also important now. Thus, revival of natural dye application on textiles and summary of earlier researches on standardization of its method of extraction, mordanting, dyeing process variables and even natural finishing, etc. have been elaborated in this review. Characterization of natural dyes and chemistry of its dyeing, etc. are equally important and hence are discussed here critically. Thus this part has become a unique readymade comprehensive chapter for information on chemistry and application of natural dyes on textiles and its revival strategy.
