“…Along with strengthening of people's environmental protection awareness, natural dyes are better suited for dyeing products. Natural dyes can be produced from many parts of the plant, such as the leaves (green tea leaves 1 ), flowers (saffron, 2 henna 3 and bougainvillea flowers 4 ), fruits (gardenia, 5 black mulberry, 6 lycium 7 and Peganum harmala seeds 8 ), husks (walnuts green skin 9 and almond shells 10 ) and roots (turmeric, 11 madder 12 and black carrot 13 ). Most natural dyes have poor affinity with natural fibers so that most dyeing process need to add a mordant, such as ferric sulfate, 14 potassium aluminum sulfate, copper sulfate and so on, 15 which can be equivalent to the role of a bridge to connect the fibers and dye molecules when dyeing.…”
