Biodamageability
is one of the weak sides of the cotton
-
plant fiber. Economic loss
from the cotton damage caused by microorganisms is significant. Toxic chemical compounds are
used to preserve the cotton fiber. This has a negative impact on environment and cotton
consumer
s. The degree of the cotton biodamage depends on selection variety, types of cultivation,
storage conditions and other factors. One of the directions in cotton planting is selection of the
boll
-
stained cotton. It was established that naturally colored cott
on of different varieties has high
biostability. It allows to product hypoallergenic, eco
-
friendly textile and reduces impact on the
environment. The purpose of the work is stability evaluation for microbiological damage of
different cotton varieties inclu
ding those naturally colored during long
-
term storage in different
temperature and humidity conditions. The research lasted for 10 years. The species composition
of the cotton microflora was determined, the impact of fiber on microorganisms and dynamics of
samples biodamage was studied in the work. The results obtained show preservation of microflora
viability on cotton fiber when storing it under normal conditions for a long
-
term period. With an
increase in temperature and humidity necessary for microorgan
isms’ growth, the fiber destruction
processes are amplified. It was established that cotton damage degree depends on the regimes and
terms of its storage as well as the color of the fiber. Nature
-
colored cotton is more resistant for
microorganisms, some va
rieties inhibit the growth of mold fungi.
