Potential Growth of Agrotourism: Effects of soybean concentrations and temperatures for dyeing cotton with marigold petal for souvenir products

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to study 1) effects of temperatures and soybean concentrations for dyeing cotton from marigold petal to nitrogen content, color, colorfastness to laundering and colorfastness to light 2) Selection of tie-dyed pattern the marigold petals dye for souvenir products development. The experimental of temperatures: at 30, 60 and 90 °C and three ratio soybean concentrations: 1:5, 1:10 and 1:15. It was found the temperatures, the soybean concentrations interaction between the temperatures and the soybean concentrations significantly affected the nitrogen content, L*, a*, b*, C* and h* (p£.05). Using temperature at 90 °C ratio soybean concentrations 1:10 the dyed cotton fabric has nitrogen content 0.47 g/100 g of fabric L*, a*, b*, C* and h* values were 59.41, 9.48, 50.06 and 79.28 respectively. The colorfastness to laundering in terms of color change and color staining were in the level 3 and 4.5. Colorfastness to light were in the level 3.5. 2) The results of the evaluation 3 groups of tie-dyed patterns are found the overall satisfaction of the polygon patterns has the number 1 average rating (4.27) the second was the straight line and oblique stripes patterns and Multi-curve and circle pattern (4.17).
