Textile colouration with natural colourants: A review

One-step ultrasound-assisted recovery of yellow-orange-red natural coloring from defatted annatto seeds: A cleaner processing alternative

“…The recent surge in the number of food products labeled with bixin as an additive (FDA-approved food additive E160b), along with other non-food applications, demonstrate the increasing demand for bixin as well as other natural carotenoids around the world, which is primarily motivated by the all-natural trend resonating across the globe [1] , [5] . The global carotenoid market was USD 1.9 billion in 2021 − from which 11.5 % correspond to annatto products − and is expected to reach USD 2.7 billion by 2027 [6] .…”

Application of Pomegranate Rind Extract for Improvement of Functional Properties of Various Materials—A Critical Review

“…In the case of applications like home textiles, home furnishing, etc., flame-retardant textile material with attractive natural colour and hygienic antimicrobial properties has become a great need in apparel due to its fire safety and bioactive concern [1]. In recent years, interest in the investigation of natural bioactive plant extracts for the dyeing and functionalization of cotton fibers has intensified [2].…”

Chemical extraction and its effect on the properties of cordleaf burbark (Triumfetta cordifolia A. rich) fibres for the manufacture of textile yarns

“…Like all lignocellulosic fibres already used in textile development, TC fibre is composed of cellulose (44 wt%), hemicellulose (31 wt%), lignin (9–19 wt%), pectin (3.3 wt%), extractives (3 wt%), wax (0.5 wt%), minerals (2 wt%) and water (8 wt%). This high proportion of non-cellulosic substances is likely to make it difficult for TC fibre to be spun and for dyes to attach to its surface [ 20 , 21 ].…”
