| Popis: | This paper describes the application of Musa acuminata leaf methanol extract on cellulose fabrics. Musa acuminata is a banana species. It is a popular edible fruit consumed worldwide. Musa acuminata leaf methanol extract was prepared, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was performed to analyze the extracted solution using 0.1% NaOH. The methanol extract in three different concentrations, viz., 3%, 5%, and 7%, was applied on cotton fabrics using padding mangle at room temperature, 40°C, and 50°C, respectively. After application of the methanol extract, antibacterial property of the fabric was tested both qualitatively by a zone of inhibition (AATCC-147) and quantitatively by reduction of bacteria evaluated in percent (AATCC-100). Presence of gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria were studied following the AATCC standards. The results reveal that the methanol extract from Musa acuminata leaf, an economic resource, can be applied to medical textile fabrics to impart antibacterial action and UV protection. |
