Insect Repellent Role of Natural Dyes

Le résumé fourni par la source

Textile played a significant part in developing human culture due to its prominent position in both technological and cultural innovations. A fabric’s performance is enhanced by finishing, offering it unique practical qualities and the finishing touch. Textiles treated with insect repellents defend against insects that spread diseases, like mosquitoes, flies, bugs, and ticks. Most plants have active components that they use to protect themselves from phytophagous insects. Developing mosquito-repellent materials is one of the most innovative ways to advance the textile industry, especially in tropical locations. It shields people from mosquito bites, ensuring protection from mosquito-borne illnesses like malaria, dengue fever, etc. In this chapter, we discussed an effort where information on natural insect repellent was gathered, and standards were established. The chapters also discussed different parts of herbal plants (basil, betel, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon grass, marigold, peppermint, and rosemary) extracts like roots, leaves, flowers, and rind for insect repellency.
