Juglans Regia commonly known as walnut, is an old world walnut tree species native to the region stretching from the Balkans eastward to the Himalayas and Southwest china. Commonly known as Walnut, it is a large deciduous tree mainly grown in poor soil. The bark of the tree is smooth, olive brown when young and silvery-grey on older branches with a rougher texture. As all walnuts, the pith of the twigs contains air spaces, which is brownish in colour. Some extracts of walnuts have in vitro antioxidant and anti proliferative activity due to its high phenolic content. Walnut is used for study different dyeing properties for different textile. The main colour component was extracted by boiling the bark powder at high temperature and then it is cooled down and filtered. The remaining residue is again heated for 2-3 times for obtaining the remaining colour component. These extracts are highly rich in colouring matter and gives different shades of brown colour while dyeing the cotton, silk and wool fabrics with the use of organic mordents. This extracts have very good light, wash and rub fastness.

Annatto Candy Orange Extract
Common Name - Annatto
Other Name - Sindoor Plant
Part Used - Flowers
Uses - Fabric Dyeing, Antibiotics And Cardiotonic.
Candy orange is a natural dye extract produced from seeds of Bixa orellana or annatto tree. Annatto is obtained from the outer layer of the seeds of the tropical tree Bixa orellana L. The principle pigment in annatto, namely bixin, is a carotenoid, which is contained in the resinous coating surrounding the seed itself. Processing may alternatively involve aqueous alkaline hydrolysis with simultaneous production of norbixin. Traditionally, water or vegetable oil is used as a suspending agent, although solvent extraction is now also employed to produce more purified annatto extracts. The unmordented cotton gives dull shades but using proper mordant, the colour & brightness of the colouring cloth is increased and offers beautiful orange. The colourful dye extracted from bixa is non- carcinogenic. From Literature, it is seen that due to its non-toxic nature, dye is extensively used in dairy-industry for colouring butter, ghee, cheese, margarine, ice cream, chocolate, meats, cereals, confectionary, spices etc.
