Abstract: The objective of this study is to explore, evaluate and compare the antibacterial activity of a cotton fabric treated with essential oils extracted from green, orange & black (a mixture of both green and orange) lemon peel (Citrus limon). The Citrus limon peel is rich in nutrient such as flavonoid and essential oil that can be used for antimicrobial activity. The finishing agent, lemon peel extract was extracted by treatment with methanol using steam distillation techniques.
