Enzymes are used in the textile industry:
Different biological enzymes are widely used in the textile industry mainly include:
1. Amylases
Amylase is used in the degumming process of the textile industry. Desizing is the removal of starch from the fabric to reinforce starch.
2. Cellulozyme
Cellulases are any of several enzymes produced mainly by fungi, bacteria, and protozoa that catalyze cellulolysis, cellulolysis, and some related polysaccharides.
3.Cellulase
Today, most common step in textile industry is bleaching of textile fabric or yarn. The bleaching is facilitated by hydrogen peroxide .
4.Laccase
Laccases are multicopper oxidases found in plants, fungi, and bacteria. Laccases oxidize a variety of phenolic substrates, performing one-electron oxidations, leading to crosslinking
5.Lipase
Lipase is mainly used in textile industry to degrease textile raw materials and improve their properties. Lipase is mainly used to treat wool fibers.
6.Pectinase
Pectinase enzymes help remove impurities from fabrics, cellulase enzymes improve the softness and appearance of textiles, while amylase enzymes aid in starch
