Antimicrobial fabrics have become essential in organizing and managing infestation and reducing odor formation by microbes. Various green sources add antimicrobial properties to fabrics, particularly cotton. However, the major problem with microbial fabrics is the reduction in antimicrobial activity after each wash. Cupressaceae pods have shown natural potential as an antimicrobial agent in herbal medicine. This study utilizes Cupressaceae for incorporating antimicrobial properties in cotton fabrics. After methanolic extraction of the Cupressaceae extract, it was applied to cotton fabrics. The application of the extract to cotton fabrics was performed by optimizing concentration, temperature and pH parameters. The extract-modified cotton showed the best performance at a 15 wt.% concentration, 140°C and pH 7.5. The treated fabrics were tested in the presence and absence of a binder using the standard washing method ISO 105-C10:2006. The mordant-treated fabric retained 16.4% more activity after 20 washes. Finally, the antimicrobial activity of the greenly developed antimicrobial cotton fabrics was checked against Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus and Candida albicans by using the AATCC 100-2004 test method. The study indicated that the prepared cotton fabric showed better antimicrobial activity against the earlier mentioned strains, except for C. albicans. The prepared antimicrobial fabric showed a wide range of antimicrobial activities and a lower fungal activity. Thus, the prepared fabric can be used for wound dressings, hospital staff gown material and athlete’s sportswear to prevent microbial infection.

使用柏科豆荚中的生物活性剂绿色制备抗菌棉织物

抗菌织物已成为组织和管理侵扰以及减少微生物气味形成的必要条件。各种绿色资源为织物（尤其是棉花）增加了抗菌性能。然而，微生物织物的主要问题是每次洗涤后抗菌活性都会降低。柏科豆荚已显示出作为草药中抗菌剂的天然潜力。本研究利用柏科植物在棉织物中加入抗菌特性。柏科提取物经甲醇提取后，应用于棉织物。通过优化浓度、温度和 pH 参数，将提取物应用于棉织物。提取物改性棉在 15 wt.% 浓度、140°C 和 pH 7.5 时表现出最佳性能。使用标准洗涤方法 ISO 105-C10:2006 在存在和不存在粘合剂的情况下测试经处理的织物。经过媒染剂处理的织物在洗涤 20 次后保留了 16.4% 以上的活性。最后，检查了绿色开发的抗菌棉织物的抗菌活性葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌、芽孢杆菌和白色念珠菌，采用AATCC 100-2004测试方法。研究表明，制备的棉织物对除白色念珠菌外的上述菌株表现出更好的抗菌活性。制备的抗菌织物显示出广泛的抗菌活性和较低的真菌活性。因此，所制备的织物可用于伤口敷料、医院工作人员的礼服材料和运动员的运动服，以防止微生物感染。
