ENCAPSULATION OF POLY HERBAL EXTRACT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF MEDICAL TEXTILE MATERIALS

S. Archanaa Preetha, G. Bagyalakshmi

Abstract :

In this study poly herbal finish on cotton faic by Abutilon indicum, Tridax procumbenz, Cassia fistula and Cassia auriculata was described. Soxhlet apparatus extraction method had been adopted in the processes,Hexane,Ethyle acetate and Methanol were used as solvents in the extraction processes photochemical screening and solvent screening were done to identify the better activity of the extracts. Later, each extracts and polyherbal extracts were under gone antimicrobial testing. Faic finishing adopted three finishing methods such as Dip and Drying, Micro encapsulation and Nano encapsulation. Physical, mechanical, geometrical properties of both finished and control faic had been analysed. FTIR, anti allergy, SEM analysis and wound scratch assay analysis was done to determine the efficiency of the polyherbal finish faic which proves the wound healing property of the poly herbal finished faic.
