Abstract :
The colourant in turmeric rhizome (Curcuma longa) was extracted using the solvent extraction method and characterized using UV/Visible spectroscopy to determine its absorbance against wavelength. The UV/Visible analysis confirmed that the colourant absorbs strongly in the yellow region of the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Physico-chemical properties such as melting point and its solubility in different solvents were determined. The dye extract was also tested on cotton and wool fabrics using three salts, such as aluminium chloride, sodium chloride and ammonium chloride, as mordants. The result revealed that Curcuma longa is most suitable for dyeing wool fabric. When aluminum chloride was used as mordant for dye fixation the hue produced was more deep than the other two mordants tested. The colourant was also applied to personal care product such as body cream and the result obtained showed that the concentration of the colourant employed determines the strength of the hue in the product
