We are the association of academia who focus only on supporting authors who want to publish their work. The articles published in our journal can be accessed online.<strong> South Asian Journal of Engineering and Technology (SAJET)</strong> journal aims to cover scientific research in an extensive sense and not publishing a niche area of research facilitating researchers from various fields to publish their papers. It is also designed to arrange a platform for the researchers to publish in a short span of time, enabling them to continue further all articles published are freely available to the scientific community in the government agencies, educators and the general public. We are taking our great efforts to popularize <strong>South Asian Journal of Engineering and Technology (SAJET) </strong>journal across the globe in numerous ways, we are sure that <strong>South Asian Journal of Engineering and Technology (SAJET) </strong>journal will act as an efficient platform for all researchers to publish their works online</p>https://sajet.in/index.php/journal/article/view/332SUSTAINABLE LACCASE-MEDIATED ANTIMICROBIAL FINISH FOR HERBAL-DYED COTTON TEXTILES2025-09-27T05:29:39+00:00Mr. M. Venkat Prasathcontact@gmail.comMrs. D. Padmalathacontact@gmail.comMrs. K. M. Abarnacontact@gmail.com<p>The increasing need for sustainable and functional textiles has led to the exploration of herbal dyes and bio-enzymatic finishes. This research examines the application of a fungal laccase enzyme as a functional finish on cotton fabric dyed with turmeric (<em>Curcuma longa</em>) and neem (<em>Azadirachta indica</em>) extracts. These herbs possess potent antimicrobial compounds, but their durability decreases after repeated washing. Using a pad–dry–cure method, laccase-treated fabric was tested for antimicrobial activity (AATCC 100) against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, color fastness, and tensile strength. The laccase finish achieved 99% bacterial reduction initially and 96% even after 20 laundering cycles, with minimal loss in color and mechanical strength. This study confirms that laccase-mediated phenolic cross-linking provides a wash-durable, eco-friendly antimicrobial finish.</p>2025-09-16T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025
