(Phys.org) —Natural dyes have been used as the colouring of natural fibres, in cosmetic products, to produce ink, watercolour and artist's paints. Natural dyes produce an extraordinary diversity of rich and complex colour. Besides that, natural dyes are a renewable resource since it is not dependent on petroleum as are many synthetic dyes. The main objective of this research project is to study the effect (dose response) of sunlight exposure on Rhizophora dye solutions by using UV–Vis and FTIR spectrophotometer.
