This chapter highlights on the applications of marigold plant extracts as an antibacterial and antimicrobial best dyer for textiles. Tagetes erecta usually known as Marigold is a vital wellspring of carotenoids and lutein, developed as a nursery plant. Marigold blossoms are yellow to orange red in colour. Now a days, lutein is transforming into an unquestionably common powerful fixing, used as a part of the medicines, food industry and textile coatings. This has increased more noticeable vitality of marigold and its exceptional concealing properties. Regardless of the way that marigold blooms; its extract has been used as a measure of veterinary supports. The examination was directed to contemplate the usage of a concentrate of marigold as a trademark shading, which is antibacterial and antimicrobial. The marigold extract ability was focused on colouring of the cotton fabrics. Investigations of the dye ability, wash fastness, light fastness, antibacterial tests and antimicrobial tests can be endeavoured. Studies have exhibited that surface concealing was not impacted by washing and drying in the shadow/sunlight. These surprises reveal that the concentrate of marigold extract can be used for cotton fabrics.

The main drawback with microorganism's development on fabrics is associated with the maintenance of hygiene and fabric deterioration. In this present investigation a trial has been made to produce an attractive and vibrant textile with eco-friendly antimicrobial dyeing by marigold, a natural resource. Tagetes erecta universally recognized as Marigold is a remarkable source of carotenoids and lutein, grown as a lawn plant. Now a day, lutein is exploding into an indubitably predominant active fitting, employed as an element of the Drugs, Nutrients and Textile Industry. The prospective application of marigold as a characteristic of antimicrobial activity has not been accustomed fully. It is due to the lack of knowledge about its ability and resemblance in material manner. In this work, we have concentrated on the analysis, which was led to deliberate the use of distillate isolate of marigold as an antimicrobial. The antimicrobial competence of the extract was evaluated by coloring on cotton textiles. Testing of the dye ability, its wash quickness and light fastness was done. Educations have validated that antimicrobial coatings have not affected by laundering and shown enhanced colouring effect comprising of fastness to washing, perspiration and rubbing than conservatively dyed textiles. It revealed that the essence of Marigold flower is habitually employed for cotton fabrics as an antimicrobial finish. The samples show very encouraging ends up in terms of antimicrobial resistivity.

In order to improve fastness of printing silk fabric with natural dyes, the influence of sinapic acid on printing of silk fabric with sorghum red was investigated in this work. The silk fabric was printed using guar gum as paste, sorghum red as natural dye, sinapic acid as auxiliaries. The appropriate steaming condition was the temperature 100°C, time 15min and saturated steam. The results showed that the light fastness and the wash fastness of the printed fabric were improved by the addition of sinapic acid. It is proposed that sinapic acid can be applied as effective fastness improver of natural dyes.

There is a vast variety of microbes available in soil performing diverse functions for plants including root colonization for protection against pathogens and nutrient acquisition. In the present study, efficacy of rhizospheric microbial strains and plant extracts were evaluated against citrus nematode for their nematicidal activity. Three different concentrations of plant extracts were evaluated in vitro, results depicts that 10% solution of Tagetes erecta (root) has given 46% the highest percentage mortality at 48hrs followed by Tagetes erecta (leaf) and Datura stramonium killed 41% and 37% nematodes respectively, similarly for 20% of plant extract in distilled water, the highest mortality rate was recorded for T. erecta (root) 68% followed by D. stramonium 47% and Acacia nilotica 44% at 48hrs of application. While using a higher concentration 30% of SS. the percentage mortality elevated multifold i.e.  Marigold root has killed maximum 76% nematodes followed by Marigold leaves and Dhatura with mortality rate 69% and 58% respectively at 48 hrs of interval. While Eucalyptus killed lowest no of nematodes. Additionally, five bacterial isolates were evaluated for their nematicidal activity. Results indicated that for bacterial cell suspension, Pseudomonas putida has shown maximum mortality rate at 84% followed by Bacillus subtilis 73% & Pseudomonas geniculata 65% at 48hrs of interval. Similarly, in the 2nd set of experiment bacterial culture filtrates has exhibited promising results, maximum mortality rate was recorded for Bacillus spp. 81% followed by B. subtilis 76%, Ps putida 63%, after 48hrs of incubation. Moreover, an insight investigation of bacterial extracellular metabolites and plant extracts would enable researchers to develop purposeful products and compositions

This case study follows the entrepreneurial journey initiated by a group of undergraduate students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and examines the decisions made and lessons learned along the way. Uncovering the intricacies of the process of business ideation, the case analyses the predisposing conditions that led to the establishment of the Bulb’s Station—a vending booth offering exclusively homemade food. A particular emphasis is placed on analysing the two major experiences that the partners had running the booth, namely, at the 2016 AUS Global Day and the 2016 UAE National Day Celebration at the American University of Sharjah (AUS). By providing detailed information regarding the type, variety, quantity and pricing of dishes on the menu, the reader is brought to estimate the extent to which the booth’s operation was successful at each of the two events. Based on prior challenges and shortcomings in adopted strategies, the partners are now confronted with the critical question of whether to turn the Bulb’s Station into a start-up company in the food industry in the UAE.

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen responsible for about 1600 illnesses each year in the United States (US) and about 2500 confirmed invasive human cases in European Union (EU) countries. Several technologies and antimicrobials are applied to control the presence of L. monocytogenes in food. Among these, the use of natural antimicrobials is preferred by consumers. This is due to their ability to inhibit the growth of foodborne pathogens but not prompt negative safety concerns. Among natural antimicrobials, plant extracts are used to inactivate L. monocytogenes. However, there is a large amount of these types of extracts, and their active compounds remain unexplored. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity against L. monocytogenes of about 800 plant extracts derived from plants native to different countries worldwide. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to verify how the plant extracts affected L. monocytogenes at the microscopic level. Results showed that 12 of the plant extracts had inhibitory activity against L. monocytogenes. Future applications of this study could include the use of these plant extracts as new preservatives to reduce the risk of growth of pathogens and contamination in the food industry from L. monocytogenes.

Sarocladium oryzae (Sawada) W. Gams & D. Hawksworth, the causal agent of sheath rot of rice was isolated from sheath rot infected rice sheaths and grains. Among ten tested fungicides Tall 25 EC completely inhibited radial growth of the fungus even at the lowest concentration 100 ppm. Similarly ethanol leaf extract of ten plants, namely Allium sativum, Artocarpus heterophyllus, Asparagus racemosus, Azadirachta indica, Citrus medica, Datura metel, Mangifera indica, Nerium indicum, Senna alata and Tagetes erecta at 5, 10 and 20% concentrations were screened for their fungicidal activity against the test fungus. All the plant extracts completely inhibited the radial growth of the test fungus at 20% concentration except Asparagus racemosus and C. medica. Ethanol extract of Tagetes erecta and Mangifera indica also completely inhibited the radial growth of the test fungus at 10% concentration.Bangladesh J. Sci. Res. 29(1): 47-54, June-2016

Most of the cotton fabrics at present are dyeing using reactive dyes which requires large quantities of salt, further produce large amount of effluent load to the environment in the form of more salinity in the effluent water along with other pollutants. In order to reduce the salinity in the waste water lot of investigations were carried out. Cotton fabrics pretreated with chitosan were dyed with reactive dyes. Pretreated samples were dyed without using salt as an electrpolyte. The influence of pretreatment on kinetics in dye bath i.e rate of dye particle movement towards the fabric, wash fastness, rubbing fastness was determined. The results of this study shows that the pretreatment of cotton with chitosan increases dye uptake and shows good fastness to washing and rubbing same as that of conventional way of dyed samples. It was determined that chitosan was effective cross linking agent in salt-free dyeing of cotton fabrics.

Purpose Sulphur dyes are the most highly consumed colourants for cellulosic substrates owing to their reasonable cost and acceptable fastness. However, the use of noxious conventional reducing agent, sodium sulphide and impaired wash fastness against oxidative bleaching is gradually decreasing the market of these dyes. As the need for “Green” goods and services is raising public awareness, this paper aims to use a glucose-based biodegradable reducing agent in place of sodium sulphide to dye cotton fabrics with a range of commercial sulphur dyes. The study also proposes an aftertreatment method to improve the fastness properties of the dyeing. Design/methodology/approach The paper investigated the impact of a newly developed aftertreatment method on the fastness properties of dyeing. This involved the sequential application of a cationic fixing agent (Tinofix ECO) and tannin (Bayprotect CL) on the coloured fabrics and subsequent evaluation of colour strength, washing, light and rubbing fastness. Findings The effect of aftertreating the dyed cotton was found to significantly improve the light and wet rub fastness. The surface morphology of the dyeing remained unaffected as depicted by the absence of any finish residues. Research limitations/implications The protective effect of the cation–tannin aftertreatments was examined with a view to providing the necessary commercial performance; however, it was established that the dry rub fastness was either reduced or remained unaffected and the wash fastness to International Organization for Standardization 105 C09 was also marginal. Originality/value This finishing technique is novel and can be found useful for manufacturing sulphur-dyed products with the improved light and wet rub fastness.
