Extraction of Eco-Friendly Color production

Every necessity comes with a price. Being at the peak of development, it’s impossible to banish the currently developed methods to eradicate the issues. All we can do is to find some alternate method without damaging environment. So to ensure the sustainability, we need to find a green method to merge the nature with the technology. Color being an essential part of our life. Colors are also becoming integral part of modern day life. Use of colors are becoming a part of our everyday life. Many synthetic colors formed from chemicals have adverse effects on environment. There is need of nontoxic colors in order to remove substances like lead, cadmium, chromium and cobalt entering in the food chain. The Holi is the festival for colors are celebrated all over India. During this festival synthetic holi powder can be used which contain toxic heavy metals and soil. Holi colors are traditionally particle powders or fluid splashes sprayed by hand, toy guns, or slamming balloons, and are sourced from natural sources. However, high performance liquid chromatography has recently revealed that these colors are polluted with harmful substances like malachite green, rhodamine and gentian violet. Considering the threat of toxicity to environment and public health, an eco-friendly method of making holi powder has been reported here. The product which we prepared were found to be acceptable based on color brightness, texture and stickiness, low cost involvement and simplicity of procedure. The four different colors of holi powder were developed which were also stored well at dark and room temperature. Considering the environmental friendly method as the base for color production we can introduce a sustainable method for its production. In this paper we tried to find nature friendly method to produce different colors including the dry and wet one. One can follow this method to create colors with limited raw materials which are also environmental friendly in nature. With the aid of technology these nature based colors can be built in to a productive commercial industry. Biocolours are nowadays used in holi festival. Biocolours are mainly prepared from plant origins. This paper is open for further research & can lead to different branch of new innovative method to replace the present harmful extraction one.
