Indigo is found in 22 species of the plant of the genus Indigofora “Indigo”. The main species for obtaining blue vat paint is Indigofera tinctoria L., which grows mainly in India and Central Asia. The coloring matter is extracted from the leaves of plants by leaching their juice with water in the form of a yellow solution, from which indigo grains settle during subsequent fermentation and air blowing. The collected mass is subjected to prolonged washing and drying.
