The use of plant-based natural colorants and some other bioactive natural extracts in textile coatings as antimicrobial textile finishes is gaining traction. Several plant-derived natural colors have potent antibacterial effects. As a result, coating cotton textiles with antimicrobial plant natural dyes and bioactive plant extracts is a new technique in the manufacture of medical cloths. According to current research, depending on the kind of components contained in the plant extract, many plant extracts may be effective against several gram positive and gram negative bacteria. As a result, research on environmentally friendly antimicrobial compounds based on natural ingredients for use in textiles is gaining traction throughout the globe. This article presents a thorough overview of natural product-based bioactive agents for antimicrobial finishing of textile substrates, including chitosan, natural dyes, neem extract, and other herbal items. The mechanism of antibacterial activity of several types of active components identified in extracts of natural products has been described. The goal of this article is to provide the most up-to-date scientific information on the extraction and use of natural colorants in textile processing. The advantages and disadvantages of using natural colorants on textiles, as well as various techniques of extracting natural colorants, have all been addressed.
