Abstract：
The growing activity in the textile industry has been demanding the search for new and innovative technologies to meet consumers\' needs regarding more sustainable and ecological processes, with functionality receiving more attention. Bee products are known for their wide spectra of properties, including antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Propolis and honey are the most popular and used since ancient times for the most diverse applications due to their health benefits. With the increasing need for safer and more sustainable practices, the use of natural products for the functional finishing process can be a suitable alternative due to their safety and eco-friendly nature. For that, a biosolution, composed of a mixture of propolis and honey in water, was used to perform the functional finishing of cotton knits, both in the presence and in the absence of potassium alum as a chemical mordant. The fastness strength was also evaluated after three washing cycles. The antioxidant potential of the biosolution, assessed with the in vitro ABTS scavenging assay, provided textiles with the capacity to reduce more than 90% of the ABTS radical, regardless of the mordant presence and even after three washing cycles. Furthermore, biofunctional textiles decreased the growth of Bacillus subtilis, Propionibacterium acnes, Escherichia coli, and, particularly, Staphylococcus aureus cultures after 24 h of incubation with an increase in antibacterial activity when potassium alum was used. These findings show that bee products are promising and effective alternatives to be used in the textile industry to confer antioxidant and antibacterial properties to cotton textiles, thereby enhancing human health.
摘要：
纺织行业日益增长的活动一直要求寻找新的和创新的技术，以满足消费者对更可持续和生态过程的需求。功能受到更多关注。蜂产品以其广泛的特性而闻名，包括抗氧化和抗菌活性。蜂胶和蜂蜜是自古以来最受欢迎和使用的最多样化的应用，因为它们的健康益处。随着对更安全和更可持续做法的需求日益增加，由于其安全性和生态友好性，将天然产品用于功能性整理过程可能是合适的替代方案。为此，一种生物溶液，由蜂胶和蜂蜜在水中的混合物组成，用于进行棉针织物的功能整理，在存在和不存在钾明矾作为化学媒染剂的情况下。还在三个洗涤循环之后评价了牢度强度。生物溶液的抗氧化潜力，用体外ABTS清除试验评估，为纺织品提供了减少90%以上ABTS自由基的能力，无论媒染剂的存在，甚至经过三个洗涤周期。此外，生物功能纺织品降低了枯草芽孢杆菌的生长，痤疮丙酸杆菌,大肠杆菌,and,特别是,孵育24小时后的金黄色葡萄球菌培养物，使用钾明矾时抗菌活性增加。这些发现表明，蜂产品是有前途和有效的替代品，可用于纺织工业，以赋予棉纺织品抗氧化和抗菌性能，从而增强人类健康。
