CHAPTER 1

INTODUCTION
An encouraging way to lessen the negative of traditional synthetic dyes on the environment is to

use natural dyes made from plant sources. Mango peel, a byproduct of the fruit processing

industry, is one of these natural sources that offers an interesting potential. Mango peel is a good

option for producing sustainable dyes since it is abundant, reasonably priced, and mostly unused.

of compounds such as carotenoids, flavonoids, and is possible to develop vibrant and diverse

color ranges suitable for different textile applications.

The utilization of mango peel as a dye not only addresses the environmental concerns associated

with synthetic dyes but also contributes to waste reduction and the valorization of agricultural

byproducts. Additionally, employing mango peel as a dye can potentially provide economic

benefits to mango-producing regions by creating additional revenue streams from waste

materials.

The objectives of this research are multi-faceted. Firstly, it aims to investigate the dyeing

properties of mango peel extracts on different types of textile fibers, including cotton, wool, silk,

and polyester. Secondly, it seeks to optimize the dye extraction process to enhance color yield

and fastness properties. Furthermore, the study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, durability, and

avalability of mango peel dye compared to synthetic counterparts.
