| Summary: | Until the invention of synthetic dye substances,
natural dyes were used for the purpose of dyeing in textiles, food, medicine
and cosmetics fields. With the introduction of synthetic dyes, their use
increased and the demand for natural dyes decreased. However, as a consequence
of studies made, the carcinogenic properties of synthetic dyes were revealed
and that they could create serious problems for human health. Therefore, plant
dyes have come to the fore again. In this study, an examination was made of the
dye properties and colour and friction fastness values of basil (Ocimum basilicum) and lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) plants. According
to the data obtained, basil and lemon balm dyeing were made with different
mordants and different colors were obtained. The highest colour fastness values
for basil were seen to be obtained with copper II sulphate, iron II sulphate,
potassium bi chromate and citric acid mordants. The highest friction fastness
values were obtained with copper II sulphate, potassium aluminium sulphate and
citric acid mordants. For the lemon balm, the highest colour fastness values
were obtained with all the mordants and the highest friction fastness values
with acetic acid and citric acid mordants. |
