Textile finishing is a diversified sector due to the processed raw materials, manufacturing technique and finalized products. Natural finishes comprises of those substances that are obtained trom plants and animals.

So there is need to screen the present of phytochemicals in the plant extract because it plays an important role in imparting antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant property to textile material and also helps in dyeing and printing of textile material. In the present study phytochemical analysis of peepal leaves was done to know the presence of different phytochemical. It was found that it showed the presence of alkaloids, anthraquinone, phenol, saponins, steroids and tannins was observed in both mediums of extraction.

Abstract


Textile finishing is a diversified sector due to the processed raw materials, manufacturing technique and finalized products. Natural finishes comprises of those substances that are obtained trom plants and animals. Natural finishes have many advantages such as non toxic, non irritant, biodegradable, cost etfective, easy availability, etc. now days consumers are more aware and conscious about health, hygiene and environment so they are looking for natural product having potential like synthetic products to impart antimicrobial, aroma finish to textile products. So there is need to screen the present of phytochemicals in the plant extract because it plays an important role in imparting antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant property to textile material and also helps in dyeing and printing of textile material. In the present study phytochemical analysis of peepal leaves was done to know the presence of different phytochemical.
