| dc.description.abstract | Methanolic extracts of Chromolaena odorata were tested for potential u§e as an antimicrobial agent on viscose fabric. Various concentrations of the extracts from 1 % to 9% was taken and treated on viscose nonwoven fabric with the aid of ultrasonic atomizer. The antibacterial and antifungal assay (AATCC test method 90 -2011, Agar test method) of the treated fabric was done against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. The zone of inhibition formed were E. coli (3mm), S. aureus{5mm),Candida (3mm)and no zone were formed for A. niger. 5% of Chromolaena odorata extracts can be used as a natural antimicrobial agent on textiles which can be used for medical applications. | en_US |
