Parametric Study on Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Runo (miscanthus Sinensis Andersson) Dye and Its Application to Paper and Cotton Fabric

•Miscanthus sinensis, an invasive plant species as potential source of commercial dyes.•Microwave extraction can yield dye extracts from M. sinensis.•Optimum condition is at 15 s −150 mL solvent - 540 W microwave power setting.•Extraction using 1:1 ethanol-water mixture had highest yield and color-fastness.•Mordant application improves binding of flavonoid-based M. sinensis dyes on fabric.
