The study, Color Stabilization of Teak Dye, aims to stabilize the color of the teak dye
using xanthan gum as its stabilizing agent. The study focused on improving the product
research in terms of absorbency and adherence of the teak dye to sample fabrics: cotton,
linen, and jusi mordanted with aluminum salt, ferrous sulfate, and copper sulfate,
respectively. The extracted dye crude from the teak leaves went through a stabilization
process wherein the teak dye solution was mixed with xanthan gum to stabilize the Dye
to improve colorfastness. The Dye went through tests such as UV-Visible Spectroscopy,
Colorfastness to Laundering, Perspiration, and Lighting to confirm the effectiveness of
the stabilized Dye. The different tests conducted showed that the stabilized teak dye
could delay degradation and adhere to the sample fabrics. The study also conducted an
online evaluation with the assistance of 20 respondents to determine the acceptability rate
of the produced product. The survey garnered an overall mean of 4.10 that has a very
acceptable descriptive rating from the criteria of aesthetics and saleability. This research
benefits the dyeing community and other crafts hobbyists.
