Abstract
The objectives of this research were to study the preparation methods of pineapple bioextract and the fabric softener from pineapple bioextract. It also investigated the effects of the fabric softener from pineapple bioextract on tenacity of fabrics, stains removal ability, and storage stability. The results showed that pineapple bioextract without bad smell was obtained by fermenting pineapple with White EM (White Effective Microorganisms) at room temperature for 23 days and could be used to produce fabric softener. Silk fabric soaked in fabric softener from pineapple bioextract had average tenacity more than those of soaking in commercial one both in warp and weft directions, whereas cotton and polyester fabrics were lessen. Fabric softener from pineapple bioextract did not significantly affect the tenacity of cotton, polyester, and silk fabrics at the .05 level. Additionally, fabric softener from pineapple bioextract could remove milk and chocolate stains on silk fabric.
