Popis: | The wash performance of three specific proteases (asp, lys/arg and glu specific, respectively) is demonstrated to be comparable to that of commercial unspecific detergent proteases (Alcalase® and Savinase®). A hypothesis for the high performance of these specific proteases is proposed. The influence of pH and ionic strength on protease performance is discussed. The removal of oily stains by lipases in detergent solution is improved only slightly under acidic conditions, whereas pH values >> pKa of the fatty acids formed results in strongly enhanced removal. Wash trials with LipolaseTM show very little effect of the lipase after the first wash, but high effect after the second and subsequent washes. This is explained by lipolytic activity under drying. Maximum activity is found when the water content of the cotton swatches is between 10 and 40% (w/w). |
