Oregano leaves, a common herb with a distinct smell and intense green color,
have potential as a natural dye for fabric. They contain natural pigments like
anthocyanins and flavonoids, which can be extracted and used to dye fabric.
This study aims to investigate the color fastness, durability, longevity, and
properties of oregano leaves in fabric dyeing, as well as their environmental
impact. The objective is to optimize the extraction process to achieve durability,
longevity, and color fastness while ensuring a sustainable and environmentally
friendly process.
Research Questions
This study aims to find out if the oregano leaves can be extracted to create a liquid green
dye and the environmental impact of using it. Specifically, the research answers the
following questions:
1. What are the properties of oregano leaves that are suitable in making a natural fabric
dye?
2. How does the dyeing process with oregano leaves compare to traditional synthetic
dyes on silk in terms of:
a. colorfastness
b. durability
c. longevity
3. What is the degree of acceptance of the respondents regarding the use of Oregano-
Alternative Fabric Dye?
4. What are the environmental impacts of using oregano leaves as sustainable herbal
fabric dye?

Scope and
Delimitation
This study focuses on creating a liquid fabric dye made from oregano leaves. The
researchers will extract the oregano as a solute. The solvent is the alcohol, water. The
ingredients were chosen due to their properties, such as the alum as the mordant.
Furthermore, the researchers will conduct several trials, in each trial, consisting of different
measurements of solvents. The shelf-life assessment is restricted to a two-year duration
and long-term effects beyond this timeframe will not be explored. The study will touch upon
the degree of acceptance of the respondents on the alternative natural fabric dye, it won't
extensively explore the broader ecological footprint of the entire dyeing process. Hence,
the researchers will assess the natural liquid fabric dye in terms of the color fastness, high
color yield, durability and longevity. In determining the effectiveness of natural liquid fabric
dye made from oregano leaves, it will apply to cotton fabric in several trials. The place that
we will be conducting our experiment is in the house of our co-researcher. And the number
of pieces of cotton fabric that we are using depends upon by the number of trial that we
are conducting.
