Abstract
Natural dyes have gained significant attention recently due to their potential to mitigate the environmental challenges associated with synthetic dyes. Among the eco-friendly plant materials, the colorimetric properties of the Syzygium aromaticum (clove bud) despite its rich colorant content has been investigated in limited researches. Meanwhile, one of the issues that is very important in the optimal use of natural colorants such as clove buds is the extraction of colorant molecules from its natural source. In this research, the effect of the type of solvent used in the colorant extraction step on the colorimetric characteristics of woolen yarns dyed with clove buds has been investigated. For this purpose, the colorants present in clove buds were extracted using aqueous solvents of citric acid, ethanol, sodium hydroxide and pure distilled water. Then, woolen yarns were dyed with different extracts, using pre-, meta and post-mordanting methods. The diversity of the dyed samples was studied by comparing their reflective spectroscopy, CIE Lab, color strength and washing and light fastness. The results indicate that among the used extracts, respectively, samples dyed with colorants extracted in ethanol and sodium hydroxide solvents, and among the used dyeing methods, the post-mordanting method has created the highest color strength. Also, the washing fastness of all the dyed samples is the same (4-5 and 5), but the light fastness of the samples dyed with the colorant extracted in ethanol and sodium hydroxide solvents (6) was higher than other samples.
