Abstract

The textiles are not only the carrier but also an excellent media for the
development of microorganisms, due to side effects and water
pollution caused by synthetic antimicrobial agents there is a great need
of antimicrobial textiles in particular for healthcare products from
natural sources. The Melia azedarach was prepared using solvents
namely methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, aqueous, acetone and
chloroform.The present study was designed to check the preliminary
phytochemical screening and to identify the antibacterial activity of
Melia azedarach bark extracts. The prepared solvent extracts showed
the presence of various phyotochemicals specifically terpenoids,
alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, phenols. The M.azedarach bark extracts are tested against two
test bacteria’s Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using disc diffusion method. The
concentration study was carried out to selected best concentration withhigher zone of
inhibition. The optimized parameters were used for fabric finishing and tested against two
bacteria’s Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and two fungus Aspergillusniger and
Malassezia furfur. The cotton linen blended fabric treated with Melia azedarach bark extract
shows32mm and 29mm zone of inhibition against s.aureus and E.coli and 57mm and 55mm
zone of inhibition against A.niger and M.furfur respectively.
