1 a) Pre-Soaking the Material: Textile stuff, whether it is fabric, yarn or loose fiber is thoroughly wet in water before dyeing begins. Such wetting is achieved by soaking for hours. A thoroughly wet textile dyes well.

2 b) Enzyme Assisted Dyeing: Enzyme assisted dyeing is also performed for textile coloration [58]. Ultrasonic dyeing on cotton and silk fabric is performed with Terminalia arjuna, Punica granatum and Rheum embodi dye. In pretreatment enzyme protease, amylase, diastase and lipase are complexed with tannic acid. Both fabrics showed rapid dye adsorption kinetics and total higher adsorption [59]. Raja and Thilagavathi demonstrated that alkaline protease enzyme process improve the quantity of natural dye exhausted [60].

3 c) Sonicator Assisted Dyeing and Plasma Treatment: Ultrasonic dyeing technique is also called Sonicator dyeing that improves the penetration of dye in fiber or fabric and increases color strength. It is a rapid dyeing process and can be run under mild conditions and low temperatures. Dyeing of wool fabrics carried out with natural dye “lac” through conventional and ultrasonic techniques [61]. In another study Eclipta leaves were taken as natural dye for cotton fabric using both conventional and sonicator methods. Results revealed that Ultra-sonication method showed higher color strength values [62]. Vankar et al. demonstrated the sonicator dyeing method to improve dye uptake on cotton, silk and wool [63]. Plasma treatment in dyeing is conducted for improving the dye uptake of fabric. It is a surface modification technique that performs before dyeing on textile materials [64]. Low-temperature plasma is widely used in non-destructive surface modification of textiles where a wide range of properties can be obtained. Plasma treatment performed on silk fabric and dyeing done with natural dye extracted from Phytolacca decandra [65]. Plasma treatment was conducted to improve the adhesion of chitosan on cotton fibers. After that the cotton is dyed with natural dye extracted from pomegranate rinds. The results exhibited that plasma treatment can enhance the color strength of the dyed sample [66].

4 d) Printing: Printing on textile in India has been a part of India’s cultural identity for thousands of years [67]. Printing produces more colorful effect on the fabric. Printing is a process where colorful designs are created which can be done by hand or machine. Hand printing is done by two methods viz., block printing and screen printing. Boruah and Kalita revealed that turmeric dye produced various soft and stable natural print on eri silk. Three different mordants alum, stannous chloride and ferrous sulfate were selected for printing [68]. Kavyashree investigated the efficiency of natural dye in screen printing on cotton and silk fabrics. Three natural dyes indigo, madder, and sappanwood were selected for screen printing. The results revealed that these dyes can be considered as the recommendable alternative to harmful synthetic dyes [69]. Jimmy et al., investigated the color resistant material from flour of Colocasia esculenta using Acacia catechu as natural dye for batik technique [70].

5 e) Dyeing Condition

i. Dyeing Condition for Cellulosic Material

Cotton is the most popular textile material. Many researchers have attempted to dye on cotton with the natural dyes. Each fabric performs differently in dye bath on the basis of their chemical structure. Dyeing parameters such as dyeing time, temperature, pH, material liquor ratio, dye and mordant concentration play an important role in dyeing. Several studies standardized the dyeing condition for cotton and reported the results as dyeing temperature, 70–100 °C, dyeing time, 60–120 min, material to liquor ratio, 1:20–1:100, and pH, 10–12 may be required for natural cellulosic material.

Vankar et al. used Eclipta as natural dye for dyeing cotton fabric by conventional and sonicator methods [62]. Teli and Paul attempted to dye cotton fabric with extraction of coffee seed coat. Dyeing was done by pre, meta and post-mordanting methods using various mordants. The results showed that coffee seed extract can develop a range of shades with good fastness properties [71]. In another study only coffee seeds were used for dyeing purposes. Some mordants such as FeSO₄, CuSO₄ and SnSO₄ were applied for improvement of color strength of cotton fabric [72]. Shanker and Vankar applied dye extracted from Hibiscus mutabilis using 1:40 for M:L ratio on cotton fabric. Dyed cotton fabric exhibited good fastness properties [73]. Dayal et al. isolated dye from Parthenium hysterophorus and employed on cotton fabric. The dyeing done with M:L ratio 1:100 at 95–98 °C for 60 min on dyebath [74]. Indi and Chinta the fruits of Phyllanthus reticulatus utilized for dye extraction and application. Premordanting was done with alum (8%) and tannic acid (4%) at the temperature 80 °C for 60 min. Same treatments were performed for Post mordanting. Dyeing was carried out for 10% shade at 80 °C for 45 min at pH from 3–7 [75]. Vankar and Shanker dyed cotton with aqueous extraction of N. oleander flowers. Mordanting was done with metal salt i.e. FeSO₄, SnCl₂, CuSO₄, SnCl₄, K₂Cr₂O₇ and alum at 60 °C for 30 min. Then, dye is applied on cotton while keeping the M:L ratio as 1:30 and pH was set at 4 [76]. A study has been conducted for improvement of washing and light fastness by Mukherjee et al., where pre mordanting was carried out with aluminum sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, magnesium sulfate and sodium dichromate. Dyeing was done with M:L ratio 1:20 at the temperature of 90 °C for 45 min. Natural dyes obtained from Curcuma longa, Butea monosperma, Tagetes erecta and Nyctanethes arbor-tristis were taken for experiment by different researchers [77].

Kulkarni et al. attempted dyeing cotton with natural dyes isolated from Pomegranate peel. Copper sulfate and ferrous sulfate were applied in ratios for mordanting. About 4% dye extraction was applied at 80 °C for 60 min with M:L ratio 1:40 [78]. Srivastava et al. studied the dyeing capability of Lichi peels on cellulosic fabrics. Many experiments were performed to determine the dyeing parameters, such as extraction medium, optimum concentration of dye material, extraction time and concentration of mordants and mordanting methods. One such example revealed that 5 g of dye material with mordant like FeSO₄, alum and tannic acid at 60 °C for 1 h produced good results in dyeing after experimentation [79]. A report by Jain presented that three natural mordants Anar, Arjun and Babul bark were applied on cotton fabric for better results. However, on the other hand colorant extracted from Jamun leaves, bark, bark peel and fruit in pre mordanting method dyed for 60 min at 60 °C temperature gave good results too [80]. Single jersey cotton knitted fabric that has been mordanted with some natural extract like pomegranate peel seeds, pomegranate peel bark and some of Gymnosperm leaves Thuja orientalis and Araucaria excelsa gives significant results at 95 °C temperature for 60 min in exhaust method. Then, dyeing of samples was done with natural dyes extracted from mango seed kernel (Mangifera indica L.) after above mordanting. The dyeing was carried out at 100 °C temperature for 60 min [81]. In a series of studies eco-friendly garments, inner wears, child clothing and home furnishing materials were prepared by dyeing cotton material with Myrobalan (T. chebula) and Turmeric (C. longa). Compared to the synthetic dyed cotton fabric, the above dyed fabrics showed excellent results in terms of fastness properties. Herbal Textile is finished entirely with herbal extractions, without using any chemicals [82]. Chandel et al. attempted to extract organic dye from Brassica oleracea Var. botrytis (Cauliflower) and applied it on 100% pure cotton. It revealed that different shades from cauliflower can be prepared using different mordants [83].

Singam et al. studied natural dyes based on Lawsonia inermis, Azadirachta indica and Curcuma longa were used to produce eco-friendly and non-toxic fabric for the people. The extraction process of natural dyes is an aqueous technique and then proceeded to hot bath dyeing later. The aim was to find the optimum concentration of natural dyes and super hydrophobic coating removal from cotton fabric for the green technology dyeing process [84]. Pan and his colleague explored that extract of Deodara, Jackfruit and Eucalyptus leaves yield light brown and light mustard shades on jute fabric. Fastness properties toward washing showed good in all manners [85].

ii. Dyeing Condition for Protein Material

Wool and silk fibers both have complex chemical structure and are susceptible to alkali treatment. They respond very well in acidic conditions. Mehtab et al. have utilized neem bark (A. indica) for dyeing of wool yarn. They optimized dyeing conditions such as pH 4.5, dye concentration 0.05 g per gram of wool, dyeing time 60 min and temperature 97.5 °C indicated good light and wash fastness properties [86]. Bechtold et al. isolated colorant from ash-tree bark (Fraxinus excelsior L.) for dyeing on wool. Meta mordanting process with FeSO₄.7H₂O was applied, which revealed that 1-2 gm extraction of bark is sufficient to dye 1 g wool yarn [87]. A study has been conducted by Jayalakshmi and Amsamani for application of Annatto and Catechu using bio-mordants to dye wool. Mordanting and dyeing were conducted by then at room temperature for 30 min. Myrobalan and Karavelum (Babul) bark were used in 1% concentration as biomordant while liquor of Tamarind and Green tea were used for fixing treatment. The experiment concluded that use of natural mordant and fixing agents improve color fastness of wool [88]. Mohammad et al. extracted colorant from Henna leaves for dyeing woolen yarn. Dyeing was conducted by using 1, 5, 10 and 20% of dye concentrations with 1:40 Material to liquor (M:L) ratio at 30 °C. Thirty six shades were obtained by varying concentrations of dye and mordants [89].

Uddin evaluated the performance of dyes taken from Mango leaves for silk dyeing. Dye extraction conditions were optimized such as the temperature, time, and material-to-liquor ratio found to be 98 °C, 60 min, and 1:10, respectively. Dyeing was done on silk with the ferrous sulfate, alum (potassium aluminum sulfate), and tin (stannous chloride) as fixing agents individually and using four different combinations of these mordants at 60 °C for 60 min keeping M:L ratio of 1:30 [90]. Swamy observed the coloring potential of one Gymnosperm Casuarina equisetifolia leaves and applied on silk fabric where color strength of dye was improved by using different mordants [91]. Banerjee et al. studied natural dyes isolated from Camellia sinensis, A. cepa, Laccifer lacca and Iron ore. Dyes employed on Eri silk yarn with different mordants [92]. Shukla et al. collected eleven species of lichens from different regions of Himalaya to extract dye and applied it on Silk, Tussar silk and Absorbent cotton. The lichens can produce orange, yellow, blue grey, purple and brown color dyes. However, the author recommended that due to small size of lichens and slow growth they could serve for local handlooms but cannot fulfill the requirements of textile industries [93]. Khan et al. demonstrated that Myrobalan, Gallnut and Pomegranate extract can be used as a dyeing agent on wool yarn. Three different mordants like Alum, Copper sulfate and Ferrous sulfate combined with above agents improved fastness properties [94].

iii. Dyeing condition for synthetic fiber

Nylon is a synthetic polymer containing amide link known as synthetic fiber. Lokhande and Dorugade attempted dyeing of nylon fabric with two different techniques viz. open bath and HTHP (high temperature and high pressure) dyeing. Natural dyes extracted from Onion (A. cepa), Lac (L. lacca) and Turmeric (C. longa) were applied with various mordants on Nylon Fabric. HTHP Dyeing has been found to give better results as compared to the open bath dyeing [95]. A study has been conducted by Miah et al. on nylon fabric dyed with onion extract using various mordants such as Alum, Copper sulphate and Potassium dichromate by HTHP dyeing methods [96].

Exhaust dyeing method is commonly used for the application of natural dyes on polyester fabrics. The dyeing of polyester is conducted using material: liquor ratio in 1:15–1:50, temperature above 90 °C and pH ranges from 4–8 for 60–90 min [97]. Elnagar et al. reported UV/ozone pretreatment was employed to activate fiber and improve dye ability of polyester and nylon. Fabrics were pre mordanted by ferrous sulfate 6% (owf) keeping material to liquor ratio 1:15 at 60 °C for 60 min. Dye isolated from Curcumin and Saffron and applied on nylon and polyester [98]. Shahin et al. studied the process of dyeing polyester fabric with Chinese Rhubarb “Dolu” (Rheum officinale) after optimization. The dyeing process was performed with 50% dye extract at temperature 100 °C for 60 min and M:L ratio 1:100 [99]. Guizhen reported that Rhizoma coptidis colorant can be used on acrylic fiber successfully. Dyeing carried out different concentrations of dye at 60 and 95 °C for 5 h keeping material liquor ratio 1:200 and pH adjusted at 6.5 [100].
