| Abstract | ||
| This paper aims to evaluate the use of Citrullus colocynthis against common fungi isolated from leather bookbinding from the Mamlukʼs period. Analytical techniques such as scanning electron microscopy with EDX (SEM.EDX), optical microscopy, pH measurement, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FTIR and mechanical properties were used to evaluate the fungal effect on leather binding and to assess the effectiveness of colocynth fruit in treating leather bindings from fungal influence. Microbiological examination showed that Aspergillus niger and Penicillium are the most common microbes that infect antique leather bindings. Citrullus colocynthis has been used to treat leather bindings from fungal influence. The study proved that Citrullus colocynthis was effective in inhibiting fungi and treating historical leather bookbinding. | ||
