Kanarya Otu (Senecıo Vernalıs) Bitkisinin Doğal Boyamacılıkta Kullanılabilirliğinin Araştırılması

Plants, which are the biggest source of natural dyes, have been used as coloring agents since the beginning of humanity. In this study, the usability of eastern groundsel, which is thought to be an alternative for the textile dyeing industry, especially for sustainable and renewable textile production, was investigated. Dyeing processes were performed with different concentrations of dyeing baths of natural dye which is extracted from the crowns of the eastern groundsel (Senecio vernalis) plant. After dyeing, dye flotte concentrations were determined using UV-visible spectrophotometer and the percent uptake of natural dye on cotton fabric was measured Spectrophotometric color analysis of the fabrics was performed and fastnesses of the samples were evaluated. It was found that the coloration of cotton fabrics with the use of Eastern groundsel (Senecio vernalis) in suitable dyeing application conditions could be managed with almost sufficient fastnesses.
