A Review on the Flavonoids – A Dye Source
Abstract
In this study, the short information was given about flavonoids giving yellow colour to plants present in nature. In addition to these, flavones, flavonols, flavanones and isoflavonoids as subgroups were also reviewed. Among these subgroups, flavones and flavonols are one of the most important classes of phenolic compounds. The information about the most important dye plants including flavonoids was also given in this study. The investigated plants are weld (Reseda luteola L.), onion (Allium cepa L.), young fustic (Cotinus coggygria SCOP), Anatolian buckthorn (Rhamnus petiolaris Boiss), dyer’s greenwood (Genista tinctoria L.) and Spanish broom (Spartium junceum L.). The most important yellow dyestuff and the oldest European dye among these dye sources is known as the luteolin dye. The dye plants were used for yellow color dyeing in ancient and historical textile. Nowadays, flavonoids are reused for sustainable, non-toxic, green textile and environment friendly textile dyeing. In the same time, flavonoids have been used for natural lake organic pigment, cosmetic, pharmaceuitical industries. In recent years, it has been suggested to use flavones in textile dyeing, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, etc. industries by the World Health Organization (WHO). Therefore, we have aimed to contribute to similar studies theoretical and experimental in natural dyeing studies.
