Potential of Peristophe Roxburghiana (Magenta Plant) for Application in Textiles: A Review

Adsorption of Dye-extract from Peristophe roxburghiana onto Cotton: Mechanism, and Kinetic Evaluations

“…The mistake of William H. Perkin in 1856 birthed synthetic dyes which led to declined use of natural dyes. But nowadays sound scientific principles on how best to use natural dyes for dyeing process, its interaction with textile substrate, its application in medicine and in other areas are now continuously explained in journals proffering better understanding of its handle as against earlier times [1].…”

“…Industrialization has led to a greater number of pollutants into the environment especially to the aquatic system of which wet processing in textile industry were the use of synthetic dyes is predominant have constituted large amounts of these pollutants which are very toxic and harmful to aquatic lives [2]. This has led to the renewed quest for the comeback of natural dyes as a green alternate to synthetic dyes [1,2,3]. Their comeback is on the account of their compatibility with the environment, having lower toxicity and less or no allergic reactions.…”

“…Their comeback is on the account of their compatibility with the environment, having lower toxicity and less or no allergic reactions. Extensive scientific works have been reported on natural dyes obtained from natural sources notably plants and its extraction and identification of the dye extracts [1,2,3,4]. These extracted natural dyes have also found usefulness as indicators [5,6,7], solar-cell sensitizer [8.9].…”

“…Peristophe roxburghiana plant which gives a natural reddish colored dyestuff, containing components such as phenoxazine, alkaloid, carotenoids, and pelargonidin have been found to be an anthocyanin dye [1]. Dye is isolated from it by using several extraction techniques [18,19,20].…”

“…Dye is isolated from it by using several extraction techniques [18,19,20]. Color obtained from peristophe, plants species are extensively used as food additive, [1,19]. This plant has also found its use like many other natural colorants as medicinal remedies for the management and treatment of some ailments [18,20] and in dyeing of cotton fabric [1,19].…”
