Global consciousness towards the organic value of eco-friendly products has attracted the interest of
people towards the use of naturally dyed textiles and organic mordants. The present study has been
focused not only on exploring the bio-colourant activity of Phyllanthus emblica (Amala) but also on
the application of natural mordant for textile dyeing and analysis of its medicinal properties. It has
been discovered from the investigation that biomordants like extract of Aloe vera’s as well as extract
of mango’s bark extract were able to evince their characteristic colour ameliorate behaviour close to
synthetic ones. Besides, the disparity in absorbance band in ultraviolet spectroscopy, distinction in
functional groups and differences in surface morphology of two extracted dyes were observed that
provided information on colour variation in the cotton fabrics. An eagle gray shade and brown-hued
on the cotton fabric were noticed from water and ethanol extracted dyes, respectively. Further, it is
confirmed that the natural dyes contain bioactive phytochemicals like tannins, phenols and flavonoids
that provide a significant antibacterial activity which will help it to be beneficially utilized in protective
medical clothing.
