The invention relates to a method for providing an amount of pigment in which, when glycosidic bonds of a polysaccharide structure are cleaved, pigments contained in the polysaccharide structure, in particular pigments comprising color, luminous and/or flame-retardant pigments, are released and the amount of pigment is formed by the pigments released in this manner.

A textile mill (100) includes a testing and recipe finalization station (104), pretreatment application machinery (106), dye application machinery (114), and a post-dye processing station (124). An associated process involves applying a pretreatment to the cellulosic fabric for cationizing the cellulosic fabric and applying a dye treatment to the cellulosic fabric. A recipe for the dyeing process includes a predetermined concentration of a cationizing agent of the pretreatment based at least in part on a desired concentration of the dyeing component. A two-stage drying and curing process for the pretreatment and other processing equipment and parameters are also described that ensure a high-quality dyeing process with reduced environmental impacts.
