Abstract

In this work, a novel attempts focus on the development of microcapsules using methanolic extract of medicinal herbs such as Aerva lanata, Aloe barbadensis Mill, Cumminum cyminum Linn, Tagetes erecta and Mentha piperita extract as core material and gum acacia as wall material. The microcapsules productivity, morphology, average practical size, cytotoxicity and stability against various temperatures were characterized by various techniques. The microcapsules were applied on single jersey knitted fabric and evaluate their surface characteristics of presence, binding and availability of microcapsules by scanning electron microscopy, the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of antimicrobial activity and wash durability by standard methods (SN 195920 &AATCC 100) of the microcapsule-treated fabrics.
