AN ANALYTICAL STUDY POMEGRANATE PEEL EXTRACT DYED COTTON FABRICS FOR ULTRAVIOLET PROTECTION

Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigated the antibacterial properties of dyed cotton fabrics with pomegranate peel extract. It was noted that the effectiveness of this substance was studied against both Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). Furthermore, antifungal effects against Aspergillus flavus were also confirmed. Ultimately, the results showed that fabrics dyed at pH 7 and dye concentration of 5% had the highest antibacterial and antifungal activity. These activities can be attributed to the accessibility of the dye molecules. Moreover, this article provides his CIE laboratory report to measure the color strength (K/S) of fabric dyed with pomegranate peel and harmonize and explain the color characteristics. The next factor, namely H. The texture of the liquefied water is important and also determines the tissue and wound dressing management properties. This product has excellent wetting, absorption and dispersion properties. Additionally, this study investigated the protection of fabrics against UV radiation and showed a significant increase in  Ultra Protection Factor (UPF) from 12 to 45 after analysis using pomegranate peel extract. The complete thermogravimetric residues of different pomegranate peel extract concentrations at different pH values ​​are shown. The given graph clearly shows that 1% pomegranate peel extract has the least residue than other ingredients. Moreover, the maximum residue is observed at a concentration of 2%  pomegranate peel extract, which is more thermally  stable than  other materials. This reinforcement highlights the potential of pomegranate peel-dyed cotton fabrics to provide strong UV protection.
