UV Protection and Antibacterial Properties of Cotton Fabrics Dyed
Keywords:
Monascus spp., Natural Dye, Color Fastness, CottonAbstract
The objective of this study was to develop the cotton fabric dyeing process using Monascus spp. A mordant, i.e., aluminum potassium sulphate, was used to dye fabric via the use of the meta-mordanting procedures. The color fastness to washing, water, perspiration and light of the dyed samples was determined according to the AATCC test methods. The UV-protection properties of the dyed fabrics were investigated via transmittance measurement using the calculated ultraviolet protection factor. Chemical functional groups of the dyes were characterized via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Antibacterial activity of the dyed fabrics was confirmed by exposing the samples to Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The results showed that the fabrics dyed with Monascus spp. and mordanted with alum to pH 7 reduced the number of viable organisms by 69% and 97%, respectively, within 2 hours. Cotton fabrics dyed with Monascus spp. exhibited a shade of brown, while those mordanted with alum exhibited a red brown color shade. Color fastness to washing, perspiration, water and light was noted to be at fair to good level. The UV protection characteristics of the dyed samples were excellent. Monascus spp. contains citrinin, which exhibits antibacterial properties. Monascus spp. dye therefore has a potential to serve as a functional dye and be a part of the cotton dyeing natural colourant system.
