Consumer awareness and demand for responsible products in the market has created an impact on the textile industry. Concepts such as eco-preservation, eco-safety, environmentally benign and non-toxic sustainability in bio resourced colorants, have created a revolution in textile research and development. Research investigations have been undertaken all over the world on colorants derived from cleaner bio-resources having minimal ecological negative impacts.

Consequently, strict environmental and ecological legislations have been imposed by many countries including EU, USA and India. As a result, eco-friendly, non-toxic and naturally occurring bio-colorants have re-emerged as a subsequent alternative through green chemistry approaches with widespread applicability in the textile coloration area.
