  Abstract

In recent years, natural dyes are gaining more attention as a sustainable and ecofriendly alternative to synthetic dyes. However, the use of toxic metal mordants make the natural dyeing process unsustainable. In order to make natural dyeing process truly sustainable, it is challenging to find alternative sources of mordant-like materials that are sustainable and ecofriendly. Chitosan, a natural resource, and a cost-effective cationic biopolymer could be a sustainable alternative to metal mordants. This paper provides an in-depth review of chitosan and its derivatives and discuss their potential role as a biomordant in natural dyeing of textiles. This review will help the academic readers to understand the basic mordanting mechanism of chitosan and its efficient application technique. Furthermore, the prospects and challenges of chitosan mordant in natural dyeing are also discussed.
