Concentration on renewable resources, sustainability and
replacement of oil based products are driving forces to reassess
the potential of natural resources including natural colorants. The
growing consumer interest in purchasing ‘green’
products, which exhibit an improved environmental profile, can be
seen as the break-through force needed to reintroduce natural
colorants into the modern markets.
Written by scientists with specialised knowledge in the field,
Handbook of Natural Colorants provides a unique source of
information, summarising the present knowledge of natural colorants
in depth. Supporting researchers in this emerging field of
sustainable chemistry, it provides easy access to the theory and
practice of natural colorants from different viewpoints, including
agricultural, economic and legislative aspects.
Topics covered include:
* History of coloration technology
* Present position of natural colorants
* Regional plant source availability
* Specific application techniques
* Chemical properties that professional dyers and chemists have
to consider
* Agricultural sourcing of dyes with an emphasis on renewable
resources
* Discussions on energy and material balance issues arising from
the sourcing of materials
* Production aspects of colorants, leading on to the key
applications
* Environmental and economic aspects
Also included are the pros and cons of natural dyestuffs,
presenting some promising results and evaluating the potential use
of vegetable dyes as alternatives to chemical-based ones with a
focus on green chemistry
