Publication date: 2018Source: Materials Today: Proceedings, Volume 5, Issue 10, Part 3Author(s): S.F. Harlapur, Sujata F Harlapur, H.P. NagaswarupaAbstractTagetes erecta commonly known as Marigold is a noteworthy wellspring of carotenoids and lutein grow as a garden plant.

Studies have demonstrated that surface shading was not influenced by washing and shows better dyeing performance including fastness to washing, perspiration and rubbing than conventionally dyed fabrics. These discoveries uncover that the concentrate of Marigold bloom...
