СОВРЕМЕННЫЕ ТЕНДЕНЦИИ В ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИИ ПРИРОДНЫХ КРАСИТЕЛЕЙ С АНТИМИКРОБНЫМИ СВОЙСТВАМИ В ТЕКСТИЛЬНОЙ ПРОМЫШЛЕННОСТИ

Abstract

This article analyzes current trends in the use of plant extracts as multifunctional agents for the antimicrobial treatment and dyeing of natural fibers. The adverse environmental and human health impacts of synthetic biocides and quaternary ammonium compounds have been identified, substantiating the need for a transition to green technologies. The phytochemical potential of medicinal plants containing flavonoids and tannins, which are responsible for inhibiting pathogenic microflora, has been examined. Optimal parameters for the extraction of biologically active compounds and the mechanisms of their interaction with textile substrates have been determined. It has been established that the application of natural dyes provides a dual effect: aesthetic coloration and long-lasting protection against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The importance of functionalizing wool and cotton materials to enhance the hygienic safety of footwear and clothing components is substantiated. In order to improve the competitiveness of textile products, the advantages and перспективные направления (future directions) for the use of natural extracts in the processing of raw materials of natural origin have been identified. Based on these findings, it is concluded that more in-depth research is required to evaluate the effectiveness, antimicrobial performance, and dyeing properties of natural fiber treatments using plant extracts.
