The project manager of the Jihad University of South Khorasan Medicinal Plants Village said: Among the applications and capabilities of the barberry product is the extraction of natural colors and the use of barberry wood in the art of inlay and inlay work.

Regarding the uses of barberry, Mohsen Pouyan stated: Barberry fruit is used for dyeing clothes, tanning leather, dyeing wool, silk and cotton fibers.

Noting that barberry turns the fibers purple-red, he added: The mixture of barberry with alum gives a pure yellow color and also the barberry root is used to dye leather.

The project manager of Jihad University of South Khorasan Medicinal Plants Village continued: Barberry fruit extract with yellow alum gives a purple-red color and is used for dyeing wool in carpet weaving industries.

Pouyan emphasized: Barberry bark is also used to dye baskets and to dye wool, silk and cotton fibers.

He added: There are several reasons for using natural and mineral dyes to dye fibers, especially wool, which is the stability of these dyes and environmental protection as a result of their use.

Pouyan pointed out that hematoxylin is a natural dye produced from the bark of the redwood tree. Pathology and histology are good alternatives to relatively expensive hematoxylin.

The project manager of the South Khorasan Jihad University Medicinal Plants Village reminded: In addition to the above, barberry wood is also used in the wood industry.
