The ultimate aim of this study was to determine the
effectivity and color of dye can produced from Terminalia catappa (Tropical almond) leaves
when it is fresh (green), Pinkish-reddish and sunbaked. This study was a
quantitative-experimental research design. It utilized a three-group design
using three (3) treatments to be applied in four setups. Specifically,
this study tried to
look answers for the following questions: What is the acceptable level in
terms of odor, color and texture of the dye produced from different colors of
Talisay leaves such as green (treatment-1),
pinkish-reddish (treatment-2),
and sunbaked /brown (treatment-3)? What is
the level of effectivity of the dye made from Terminalia
catappa (Tropical
almond) leaves when applied to different types of fabric such as Chinese cotton, polyester, oxford, and satin? Is there a significant
difference on the acceptable level in terms of odor, color and texture of the
dye produced from different colors of Talisay leaves? Is there a significant difference on the level of
effectivity of the dye made from Terminalia catappa (Tropical almond) leaves
in terms of the type of fabric use?
The
study revealed that the acceptability of the physical characteristics of fabric
dye made from Talisay leaves in terms of
odor, the treatment-3 obtained the highest mean of 3.23, means “acceptable”. In terms of color, the
treatment-2 obtained the highest mean of 4.13, means “highly acceptable”. In terms of texture, the treatment-2 obtained
the highest mean of 3.77, means “highly
acceptable”.
On the effectivity of fabric
dye made from Talisay leaves when applied to Chinese cotton, treatment-2 obtained the highest mean of
3.77, which can be interpreted as “highly
acceptable”. When applied to Oxford cloth, treatment-2 obtained the highest
mean of 3.67, which can be interpreted as “highly
acceptable”. When applied to Polyester cloth, treatment-2 obtained the
highest mean of 3.60, which can be interpreted as “highly acceptable”. Then, when applied to Polyester cloth,
treatment-1 obtained the highest mean of 4.30, which can be interpreted as “very highly acceptable”.
On the overall acceptability
of the physical characteristics of fabric dye made from Talisay leaves,
treatment-2 obtained the highest overall mean of 3.59, which can be interpreted
as “highly acceptable”. On the
overall effectivity of fabric dye made from Talisay leaves when applied to
different types of fabric, treatment-2 obtained the highest overall mean of
3.65, which can be interpreted as “highly
acceptable”.
The hypothesis tested on
odor, color and texture was accepted as confirmed by the Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA). It was also confirmed by the ANOVA that there is no significant
difference on the effectivity of fabric dye made from Talisay leaves when
applied to Chinese cotton Oxford, Polyester and Satin. Hence, the hypothesis
tested on different types of fabric was also accepted.
The
researchers concluded that Terminalia catappa (Talisay /Tropical Almond) leaves
could be a good source of fabric dye. Hence, the pinkish-reddish leaves yield the best results in
terms of color and effectivity when applied to different types of fabric.
