Mahogany Leaves- A Natural Dye Source

摘要

Dyeing is usually among the last processes that lead to the addition of aesthetic appeal to fabrics. Nature provides different colouring matters of vegetable, animal and mineral origin; used for dyeing since ancient times. The major advantages of natural dyes are that they are biodegradable, non-carcinogenic, non-mutagenic and display colours soothing to human eyes. In recent years, people have begun to realise the need to use environmentally safe products for their day-to-day life. Eco-standards play a very important role in the export market.
