Examination of Dyeing Properties of the Dyed Cotton Fabrics with Barberry (Berberis vulgaris L.)

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed at investing the cotton fabrics dyed with different percentages of the roots of barberry (Berberis vulgaris L.) via gall oak (Quercus infectoria Olivier; 10% and 20%) and aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3; 6%) mordants. The dyeing process was performed with the roots of barberry in the range of 10–100%. A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection method was utilized for the identification of dyes present in the sample extracts. Natural yellow-dyed cotton samples were studied calorimetrically and their color coordinates L*, a*, b*, C*, h, K/S, and ∆E* values were given.
