Abstract

This research analyses the bioactive Components of Grona Triflora, a medicinal plant that has potential health benefits, and its application in textile finishing to enhance fabric functionality and property. Grona Triflora was purified, dried, and ground into a powdered material for extraction using methanol, ethanol, and distilled water. The extraction’s, anti-diabetic activity of each extract was analyzed using the alpha-amylase and alpha-glycosidase biocatalyst prevention assays to determine effectiveness in modulating polysaccharide metabolism. The Anti-microbial activity was assessed against bacterial strains E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fungal strains Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus, indicating substantial efficacy. The herbal finishing was then applied to pre-treated thermal knit fabric using a dip and nip padding mangle technique [12]. The FTIR Spectroscopy ratified the existence of functional bioactive groups, the SEM showed texture and structural alternations.
