A Study of the Phytochemicals Present in Allium Burdickii Dye
Synthetic dyes have been in use for a long time for their abundance, uniformity, reproducibility and applicability, but their limitations such as toxicity, non-biodegradability have lately revived consumer interest in natural dyes.Natural dyes have rich colouring matter for application in textile and apparel colouration there by addressing environmental and economic challenges resulting from the usage of synthetic dyes.For standardization and optimization of a particular vegetable dye to avoid losses through degradation and modification of biomolecules, the stability and existence of phytochemicals in a particular vegetable dye ought to be known.This research therefore concerns with the investigation of the different physico-chemicals present in Allium burdickii dye.Using both the leaves and bulb of the Allium burdickii plant, samples were prepared using aqueous and solvent extraction method.Using aluminum chloride colorimetric method, various phytochemicals such as tannins, flavonoids, saponins and phenols were analyzed.For the extraction of Alliumburdickii, the study established the presence of flavonoids in the dye extracted from bulbs of the plant and no presence of saponins in the leaves.
