Abstract
This study was to explore and extract the color from the fresh rind of mangosteen Index Color 5. The extract was then applied on silk fabric to examine its dyebility. Freeze-drying methodology and mechanizable equipments have helped to produce excellent colors of natural dye. The established dyes were experimented on silk fabrics via three types of mordanting and dyeing procedures; pre-mordanting, simultaneous mordanting and post-mordanting. Silk fabric treated simultaneously with mordanting and dyeing with Index Color 5’s dye produced a brilliant shade of red color and the color is also discovered sensitive to light and washing during the fastness tests. The preliminary evaluation and instrumentation analysis allowed us to examine whether the application of different mordanting and dyeing procedures with the same extract samples and concentrations affected the colors and shades of the fabric samples. Keywords- Natural dye, Freeze-drying, Garcinia mangostana Linn, Mordanting.
