Extraction of Dye from Expired Ascoril Syrup and Its Application in Textile Dyeing: An Eco-friendly Approach

This research focuses on the extraction of dye from expired Ascoril syrup and evaluates its application in textile dyeing as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes. The increase in pharmaceutical waste and environmental damage caused by synthetic dyes has driven the need for sustainable solutions. Ascoril syrup, which contains active compounds, was selected for its potential to be used as a natural dye. The study explored the extraction process, the effectiveness of the dye in cotton fabric applications, and its color fastness properties. Additionally, the environmental benefits of reducing pharmaceutical waste through this method were analyzed, promoting a circular economy. The results showed that Ascoril-derived dye exhibits high levels of color fastness and durability. Future research and optimization of this process can further improve the dyeing process for industrial-level textile dyeing.
