INTRODUCTION
This study aims to venture into the world of natural dye production. It further explores
the dye producing potential of Alnus Cordata (Italian Alder) and understand its contributions
Alnus cordata, also known as the Italian alder, is a species of tree native to southern
Italy and Corsica. This deciduous tree is valued for its ornamental qualities, ecological
benefits, and various practical uses. In this review, the researchers will look into the
characteristics, uses, and methods of extraction, ecological importance of Alnus cordata and
Alnus cordata (Italian Alder) is a medium to large-sized tree that can reach heights of
20-30 meters. It is characterized by its conical shape, glossy dark green leaves, and
distinctive silver-gray bark. Alnus cordata is well-adapted to a variety of soil types, including
wet and waterlogged soils, making it a valuable species for stabilizing riverbanks and
The wood of Alnus cordata is prized for its durability, resistance to decay, and fine
grain, making it suitable for a range of applications. It is commonly used in the construction
of furniture, cabinets, and interior finishes. The tree's high heat output and low smoke
emissions make it a popular choice for firewood. In landscaping, Alnus cordata is planted for
its attractive foliage, fast growth, and ability to thrive in challenging environments. Its
nitrogen-fixing properties also make it a valuable species for reforestation and ecological
restoration projects.The process of extracting dye from Alnus cordata bark typically involves
boiling the bark in water to release the pigments and tannins. Various mordant, such as alum,
iron, or copper, can be used to modify and enhance the colors obtained from the dye. (Native

Alnus cordata plays a crucial role in ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. As a nitrogen-
fixing tree, it enriches the soil with essential nutrients, promoting the growth of other plant
species. (Vasyl Cherlinka, 2021) The tree's dense foliage provides habitat and food for a
variety of wildlife, including birds, insects, and small mammals. (Rhiannon O’Sullivan,
2023) Alnus Cordata helps to regulate water levels and improve water quality by stabilizing
The natural dye derived from Alnus Cordata has a wide range of potential applications
in textile and fiber arts. Its earthy and warm color palette make it suitable for creating natural,
organic shade in fabric dyeing, yarn dyeing and fiber art projects. (Jenny Bell, 2021)
The use of natural dye aligns with the growing consumer demand for sustainable and
environmentally friendly products, making Alnus Cordata dye an attractive option for eco-

Natural dyes are derived from plant sources, animal sources, or minerals. These dyes
are known for their eco-friendly properties and are valued for their environmental benefits, as
Synthetic dyes are chemically manufactured colorants that are widely used in the
textile, printing, and chemical industries. They are made from chemical compounds such as
Textile dyes are a small part of the global textile industry but, are equally as important
as the entire industry. Through the assistance of technology, the development of textile and
dye industries are flourishing in countries with abundant natural resources and cheap labor
costs specifically in the areas of India, China, South Africa, and Brazil. The dyeing industry
In the Philippines, the dye industry has experienced steady growth over the years and
has a well-established textile industry that caters to both domestic and commercial markets.
In recent years, there has been an increase focus on sustainable practices within the dye
industry. This includes the development of eco-friendly dyes that minimizes environmental
impact during production and usage. The government even implemented regulations to
processes.
Bokod does not have a significant presence or prominence. There is limited information
available regarding the existence or operation of dye production within the municipality.
While there may be small-scale dye production or dye-related activities, large scale dye
Alnus cordata, commonly known as Italian Alder, involves exploring the potential of
this plant species to produce dyes for various applications. Italian Alder is a horticultural tree
native to Italy and Corsica. It belongs to the family Betulaceae and is characterized by its
dark green leaves, smooth gray bark, and cone-like fruits. The tree can grow up to 25 meters
in height and thrives in moist soil conditions specifically near bodies of water. A natural
colouring component could be found in almost all cordata’s tannis, flavonoids, and
anthocyanins.
Therefore, in this study, the researchers aim to extract natural dye from Alnus Cordata
(Italian Alder) using sustainable, cost-effective methods that utilizes the advantages of the
dyeing chemical properties found in the tree
This study aims to make dyes from Alnus Cordata. It seeks to answer the following
objectives:
A. Determine the color/s extracted from the tree of Alnus Cordata (Italian Alder)
B. Determine the kind/s of fabric that exhibits the highest efficiency in absorbing the
dye
C. Determine the acceptability rate of the usage of natural dye in the municipality of
Bokod.

The researchers aim to explore Alnus Cordata (Italian alder) as a natural and
sustainable dye for linen fabric. The study would be a reference for the future researchers
who are interested in developing eco-friendly and low cost dyes from natural resources. This
study will also benefit the respondents of the study, who are the textile manufacturers and
consumers.
The significance of the study of Alnus Cordata for dyeing fabric holds several
benefits. It has a positive impact on the environment, as the use of natural dye has a lower
carbon footprint compared to synthetic dyes. This can ultimately reduce the environmental
impact of the textile industry.The study will be significant to the following:
sustainable textile production and natural dye, providing insights for further research and

High school. The Alnus Cordata bark will be sourced from Bila, Bokod Benguet.
SAMPLE/POPULATION OF THE STUDY:
The participants of the study are citizens that are currently residing within the
municipality of Bokod. Preferably 1444 respondents with the age ranging from 20 years old
to 40 years old.
This study will use surveys, field trial experiments and one-to-one interviews as a way
to gather more data analysis. These tools were chosen for this research since it is cost-
effective and simple to conduct and manage. Additionally, it assures flexibility for
respondents and reduces partiality. The survey will use a Likert scale which will consist of 5
questions that will collect informational data from respondents to determine the acceptability
of the research. The field trial experiment will involve researchers experimenting with the
dyes’ potential effects and with the selected respondents for the one-to-one interviews, they
will be asked questions regarding their knowledge and expertise with the dye extraction,
