For the first time, this work studies the application of indicaxanthin
dye, extracted from fruits of O. ficus-indica, in the field of
textile. We conducted the present study to investigate the dyeing
and fastness properties of wool using indicaxanthin dye. The dyeing
conditions such as the concentration of the dye, the dye bath pH,
the salt concentration, the dyeing temperature, the dyeing time,
and the effect of the mordants and the overall fastness properties
were investigated.
