Optimized production and characterization of red dye from Talaromyces purpureogenus PH7 for application as a textile dye

mycolabadmin

Researchers optimized conditions to produce natural red dye from a fungus called Talaromyces purpureogenus, which could replace harmful synthetic dyes in the textile industry. The dye successfully colored cotton fabrics and resisted fading from washing and sunlight exposure. The fungus also produces beneficial compounds that could improve soil health, making this an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based chemical dyes.

Biotechnological production of natural pigments for textile dyeing

mycolabadmin

Scientists have successfully produced natural pigments from a fungus called Penicillium brevicompactum using leftover materials from food and agriculture industries, like cheese whey and corn byproducts. These pigments were used to dye cotton and linen fabrics, creating colors comparable to those from synthetic dyes but without the environmental and health concerns. This sustainable approach could help the textile industry move away from artificial dyes while reducing waste and supporting a circular economy.

Optimized production and characterization of red dye from Talaromyces purpureogenus PH7 for application as a textile dye

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered that a natural fungus called Talaromyces purpureogenus can produce a bright red dye suitable for coloring textiles. Unlike harmful synthetic dyes that pollute water and soil, this fungal dye is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. The dyed fabrics resisted fading even after repeated washing and sunlight exposure, making it a viable alternative for the textile industry.
