Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing dye plant extracts into powder, dye powder, and a method for dyeing textiles, belonging to the field of textile technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, farmers generate a large amount of plant waste after collecting fruit pulp and fruit, such as pomegranate peels, walnut husks, grape skins, and grape seeds. This plant waste is usually returned to the soil as fertilizer, which has very low added value. According to data, these plant wastes contain rich natural pigments and dyes that can be used for dyeing in the textile industry, greatly increasing their added value. In addition, these dyes are renewable and meet the requirements of sustainable development and environmental protection. At the same time, fabrics dyed with natural dyes exhibit a natural and simple beauty, which is gradually gaining popularity.

[0003] However, these fruit peels or fruit wastes contain a large amount of sugars, which can account for 20-70% of the extract. Due to the strong hygroscopicity, low glass transition temperature and high viscosity of some sugars, the plant extracts are prone to sticking to the walls of the drying tower during spray drying, making it difficult to form powder and collect. They are also very easy to absorb moisture and clump during storage, which seriously affects their subsequent performance.

[0004] Therefore, developing a suitable powdering method for plant extracts with high sugar content is one of the urgent problems to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0083] Comparative Example 1

[0084] This comparative example provides a method for preparing a powder from pomegranate peel plant extract, wherein the powder preparation method includes the following specific steps:

[0085] Step 1: Weigh an appropriate amount of dried pomegranate peel raw material (same as in Example 1), grind and pulverize it using a traditional Chinese medicine pulverizer, and then sieve it through an 80-mesh sieve to ensure consistency, thereby obtaining pomegranate peel raw material powder.

[0086] Step 2: Using water as a solvent, mix pomegranate peel powder with water at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:5, extract at 100℃ for 4 hours to complete the extraction of pigments and dyes, and then pump the extract into a concentration tank.

[0087] Step 4: Concentrate the extract in a concentration tank until the specific gravity is 1.08 to obtain the concentrated extract.

[0090] Experimental Example

[0093] Depend on Figure 6 The results show that the pomegranate peel pigment dye prepared in Example 1 absorbs moisture slowly in the air. After 3 days, it absorbs moisture slightly and forms small hard lumps, which can be ground into powder again. However, the pomegranate peel pigment dye prepared in Comparative Example 1 absorbs moisture quickly in the air and becomes a soft, chewy lump after 1 day. It cannot be ground into powder again, and it is difficult to weigh accurately during use, which affects the subsequent dyeing effect.

[0094] Comparative Example 2

[0095] This comparative example provides a method for preparing powder from walnut green husk plant extract, wherein the powder preparation method includes the following specific steps:

[0101] Comparative Example 3

[0102] This comparative example provides a method for preparing a powder from pomegranate peel plant extract, wherein the powder preparation method includes the following specific steps:

[0103] Step 1: Weigh an appropriate amount of dried pomegranate peel raw material (same as in Example 1), grind and pulverize it using a traditional Chinese medicine pulverizer, and then sieve it through an 80-mesh sieve to ensure consistency, thereby obtaining pomegranate peel raw material powder.

[0104] Step 2: Using anhydrous ethanol as a solvent, mix it with pomegranate peel powder at a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:5, and extract at 100℃ for 4 hours to complete the extraction of pigments and dyes. Then, pump the extract into a concentration tank.

[0105] Step 4: Concentrate the extract to a specific gravity of 1.08 in a concentration tank, then add 8% β-cyclodextrin to obtain the concentrated extract.

[0106] Step 5: The concentrated extract is powdered using spray drying. The spray drying flow rate is 50 kg / h, the inlet air temperature is 180℃, the tower temperature is 100℃, and the outlet air temperature is 90℃. The powder in the collection tank is the pomegranate peel pigment dye. Its total sugar content, determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method, is 44.6%.

[0107] Figure 8 The images show the appearance of the pomegranate peel pigment dye product prepared in Comparative Example 3 after 1 day (left image) and 3 days (right image).

[0108] Depend on Figure 8 The results show that the pomegranate peel pigment dye prepared in Comparative Example 3 had a slower moisture absorption rate in the air in the first day compared to Comparative Example 1, and slightly clumped. However, after 3 days, it turned into a soft, chewy lump that could not be ground into powder again, making it difficult to weigh during use and greatly reducing the accuracy of weighing. Its storage stability was far lower than that of Example 1.
