A liquid barrier filter for use in fluorescence microscopy of strongly autofluorescent plant tissues is described. The filter consists of a methanol solution of cupric chloride and ferric chloride and isolates fluorescein fluorescence from the strong red autofluorescence of photosynthetic plant tissues. Subcortical actin cables in the giant alga Chara are being visualized through use of this filter together with heavy meromyosin labeling.

This article discusses the obtainment of natural dyes in São João de Côrtes, Alcântara, Maranhão, extracted from annatto (Bixa Orellana), serrette (Byrsonima Basiloba), red mangrove (Rhizophora Mangle), saffron (Curcuma Longa), genipap (Genipa Americana) and wild indigo (Indigofera Suffruticosa). As an objective, this article proposes a course to discuss aspects of territorial design and to investigate the processes of obtaining the natural dyes from the aforementioned community, emphasizing sustainability. As far as methods, there is a description of the traditional techniques used by residents of the said village for the production of natural dyes, forming a qualitative research with an ethnographic approach which features interaction with the community through interviews with indirect questions, footage and photographs.

The use of natural dyes has increased in the last few decades due to the eco-friendly approach of dyeing. There are still some limitations that are associated with natural dyes, such as dyeing efficiency, reproducibility of shades, process complexity, availability etc. The main problem associated with the dyeing property of natural dyes is “low exhaustion”. In this study, natural dyestuff from Curcuma longa L. was extracted and polyethylene terephthalate fabric was dyed with it in the same bath by employing the supercritical carbon dioxide method. The method was developed to improve the dye-ability of natural dyes and reduce the process time and effluent. Curcuminoid dye exhaustion on PET fabric showed almost 80% by using supercritical carbon dioxide dyeing methods, and the highest colour strength (K/S = 12) was obtained. Coloured polyethylene terephthalate fabric treated with supercritical carbon dioxide showed deeper shades (L* = 72.92) and better fastness properties as compared with high temperature exhaust dyeing methods.

Natural dyes are normally unstable to photooxidation by UV light. We have measured the stability of a number of natural dyes in combination with high concentrations of antioxidants, excited state quenchers, and UV absorbers. We find that certain combinations, including indigo/BHT, methylene blue/p-benzoquinone, and methylene blue/triethylamine show enhanced stability in solution and/or in thin polymer films. By comparing solutions and films of the mixed components with solutions and films of the antioxidant placed between the dye and UV source, we can show that the effect is not UV screening but is due to some form of intermolecular chemistry. We believe that this effect may account for the high stability of natural dyes in plant tissues, such as the skins of fruit, and may be usable to stabilize natural dyes in foods or textiles, especially if suitable nanoparticle structures can be developed.

This research aimed to study the dyeing properties on the PLA and silk yarns of the natural dyes obtained from various materials, viz. marigold petals (Tagetes erecta L.), rhubarb rhizomes (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei), garcinia barks (Garcinia Dulcis Kurz), turmeric rhizomes (Curcuma Longa Linn.), sappan barks (Caesalpinia sappan Linn.) and catechu barks (Acacia catechu Willd.). The color properties of the dyed yarns was determined and compared. The results observed the different color properties (L*, a* and b* values) and a shift of λmaxof the dyes on the PLA and silk yarns. This change in color properties of each natural dye was expected to be affected by the types of substrate (textile fiber) and also the chemical nature of the natural dyes. The study of the build-up properties indicated that the turmeric dye is the only natural dye which showed an outstanding performance on PLA and silk. A high degree of color yield of turmeric dye was obtained on both yarns, whereas a poor build-up was observed for the rest of the dyes.
