Abstract

The process of printing involves applying colour to only a portion of the fabric rather than the full thing. The multicoloured designs that emerge offer lovely and artistic effects, elevating the fabric's worth above that of plainly dyed fabric. Synthetic thickeners used in the printing industry have a number of detrimental environmental effects. Because of this, we focused on using several environmentally friendly natural gums as thickeners in this study to lessen the influence on the environment, such as those derived from sage seeds (SSG), psyllium seeds (PSG), and rocket seed oil products (RSG). The findings of this study suggested that it would provide a fresh viewpoint for enhancing the value of by-products such sage seed, psyllium seed, and rocket seed oil.
