AS FABRIC DYE

INTRODUCTION
Dyes have become part of daily living. What's great about dyes is that they give variety to everything. Even the earliest humans used dyes to put color into their worlds, and they even used the most peculiar sources of the colors. Since then, dyes have dominated different kinds of industries. Before, dye manufacturers were only able to produce one color at a time. But now, dyes come in different colors and types as well. Dyes today are easier to use compared to earlier forms of dyes, because previous dye makers got their materials from animals, minerals, or any other common things that were never thought could produce colors. This study is stimulated by queries such as how colored substances got their color and how do these colors last on fabrics. This investigation aims to explore the possibility of coming up with an effective product from recycled materials through the use of talisay extract to produce dye. The talisay Fruit is smooth and ellipsoid, 3 to 6 centimeters long, and prominently bi-ridged or keeled down to the sides. Pericarp is fibrous and fleshy, the endocarp hard. Leaves are shiny, obviate, 10 to 25 centimeters long, tapering below to a narrow and heart-shaped base with a expanded rounded apex. When the fruit is chewed it produces a red-bitter substance can produce a dye.
Statement of the Problem This research study aims to produce a dye from talisay. And seeks to answer the following sub questions:
1. What are the chemical contents of Talisay which makes it as an effective dye?
2. What processes should talisay undergo to be an effective dye?
3. What are the significant difference of talisay dye from the commercial dye in terms of:
a. Color
b. Texture
c. Cost
Hypotheses:
Alternative: There is a significant difference between dye from talisay and the commercial dye.
Null:
