The Synergistic Activity of the Extracts from Mango and Cassia fistula Polysaccharide in Cotton Fabric Finishing

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study focused on the production of antibacterial cotton fabric using natural bioactive agent as the extracts from mango (Mangifera indica L) seed. The cotton fabrics have been treated with the extracts from mango seed. The polysaccharide from Cassia fistula seed was used as a natural mordant and compared with general chemical mordants. Treated fabrics were tested for antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive cocci and Gram-negative rods. It was found that the treated fabrics combined with natural mordant were more effective against both pathogenic bacteria. From the results, the polysaccharide from Cassia fistula seed could provide the synergic antibacterial activity when applied with the extracts from mango seed and used as substitutes for synthetic textile chemicals.
