Fragrance finishing of textile has been enormously increased and used in domestic and industrial application. Fragrance can be synthesis chemically but available in natural and inorganic. The investigation of this research is to study the combined effect of fragrance and antimicrobial finishing on cotton fabric by lavender essential oil with the use of β-Cyclodextrin, Chitosan citrate and β-Cyclodextrin/Grafted Chitosan through pad-dry method. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the formation of ester bonds between β-cyclodextrin/grafted chitosan and cotton celluloses. For all the finished fabric samples fragrance release rate performance and antimicrobial properties were measure by standard test methods. The results revealed that β-CD was highly soluble in 0.6gpl NaOH solution and 80gpl β-CD and 6% essential lavender oil solutions were found to be a most suitable combination for fragrance and antimicrobial finishing. FTIR studies reveal about the formation of a carboxylic ester between cotton and β-Cyclodextrin/Grafted Chitosan at 1730cm⁻¹ ester peak.
