Recent Use of Natural Animal Dyes in Various Field

Abstract

N ATURAL dyes have been used for dyeing, painting, printing, and decoration since the dawn of time. However, with the manufacturing of synthetic dyes in the nineteenth century, it was revolutionised due to its extremely lasting properties and economic effectiveness. However, a new research highlights the negative implications of synthetic dyes, prompting people all over the world to reduce their use of synthetic dyes and focus on natural source colours, which have numerous advantages over synthetic dyes. These colours might be derived from animals, plants, minerals, or microorganisms. In this brief study, we will talk about natural colorants from an animal source and how to extract them using ancient and new methods that allow their counterparts to achieve equivalent properties.

An Overview of Printing Textile Techniques

“…[8][9][10][11][12] It is also the process of mixing a design concept, one or more colours, and a substrate (usually textiles) with a natural or synthetic thickener, while applying a technique to correctly apply the colours. [4,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The main objective of printing is to create colourful patterns with sharp borders on textile fabrics without any dye spilling beyond the design motif's borders. [27] Textile printing is defined as a regulated technique of colouring cloth in specific patterns or motifs by employing specialized printing techniques and machinery.…”

An Observation on the Wet Processes of Natural Fabrics

“…The use of natural dyes for textile dyeing largely vanished after the invention of synthetic dyes. [3,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Because of their decreased toxicity and allergic responses, natural dyes have recently sparked increased interest in their use in textile dyeing. Natural dyes have also gained popularity among ecologically aware individuals due to their great compatibility with the environment.…”

An Overview of Natural Dyes Extraction Techniques for Valuable Utilization on Textile Fabrics

“…[15][16][17][18] The use of natural dyes is seen to be a preferable alternative to synthetic colours. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”
