Enzymes in Biological Washing Powder

Şifanur ÇelikBerda Barlak

• Enzymes are proteins which speed up the reaction. They are used in industry such as textile, cheese making, and biological washing powders.

What is the difference between biological washing powder and regular washing powder?

• Biological washing powder contains enzymes that help break down stains and dirt in fabrics and non-biological washing powder does not.

• The enzymes in biological washing powders will decompose these stains easily.

Enzymes in Biological Washing Powder

• Using of enzymes helps to wash clothes in lower temperature and in lower pH.

• All these enzymes work efficiently at temperatures as low as 40°C.

• HOW CAN THEY CLEAN STAINS ?
