The field of natural colorants is split in different directions between current research and applications, with manufacturers requiring more and more to make their products biobased, through public pressure.
Concentration on renewable resources, sustainability and replacement of oil based products are driving forces to reassess the potential of natural resources including natural colorants. The growing consumer interest in purchasing “green” products, which exhibit an improved environmental profile, can be seen as the break-through force needed to reintroduce natural colorants into the modern markets. Written by scientists with specialised knowledge in the field, Handbook of Natural Colorants provides a unique source of information, summarising the present knowledge of natural colorants in depth. Supporting researchers in this emerging field of sustainable chemistry, it provides easy access to the theory and practice of natural colorants from different viewpoints, including agricultural, economic and legislative aspects.

Topics covered include:



History of coloration technology
Present position of natural colorants
Regional plant source availability
Specific application techniques
Chemical properties that professional dyers and chemists have to consider
Agricultural sourcing of dyes with an emphasis on renewable resources
Discussions on energy and material balance issues arising from the sourcing of  materials
Production aspects of colorants, leading on to the key applications
Environmental and economic aspects

Also included are the pros and cons of natural dyestuffs, presenting some promising results and evaluating the potential use of vegetable dyes as alternatives to chemical-based ones with a focus on green chemistry

Dr Thomas Bechtold is Head of the Institute for Textile Chemistry and Textile Physics at the Leopold-Franzens University of Innsbruck, Austria. His key research interests are: dyeing with vat, indigo and sulfur dyes; electrochemistry in textile processes; formulation of special detergents. He has published over 70 papers in this research field in the last 20 years. Dr Rita Mussak is based in the Department of Theoretical Chemistry at the Leopold-Franzens University of Innsbruck, Austria.
