Why protease containing biological washing powder cannot be used to wash silk?
It would use silk as its substrate and destroy the garment. Silk is a protein.
What are the types of enzymes likely to be used in washing powders?
The protease enzyme is used in some washing powders. The protease enzyme usually comes from bacteria like Bacillus licheniformis or Bacillus subtilis and can be produced in fermenters which hold many litres of culture medium and bacteria.
The use of micrognism and fermenters to manufacture the antibiotic penicilin and enzymes for use in biological washing powders?
Penicillium from fungi is mixed with sugar in a fermenter. Fungi grows for about 15-24 hours and then begins to secrete penicillin. The solution is filtered off and is concentrated to give penicillin. Enzymes lipase in biological washing powders are used to break down fats or grease on clothes and protease used to break down proteins such as blood stains.
Why do washing powders have enzymes with a low temperature?
-7 to 37
Water temperature for washing dishes?
Dishwasher should only connect to the hot water line. Here is no additional heater for the water so tt should be the same temperature of the water boiler of the house.
What are the disadvantages of protease in biological detergents?
Some people can have allergic reactions to biological washing powders due to the enzymes in them. One of which is protease, hope this helps?
How do you remove blood stain in clothes?
Since blood is made up of protein, the most effective way would be to use a biological washing powder. Biological washing powder contains protease, an enzyme that breaks down protein. The optimum temperature would be around 30 degrees Celsius. However, even then, blood stains are very difficult to get out.

What is washing powder used in?
Protease enzymes
Does biological wahing powder contain protease?
Biological detergents and washing powders use lipases and proteases to break down fat and protein molecules from food stains which have remained on clothing. The fatty acids, glycerol and amino acids which are produced are removed in the water during the washing process.
What enzyme is used in washing powder?
Protease enzymes
How do biological detergents work?
Biological washing powders contain protease and lipase to remove protein stains and fat/grease from clothes. The enzymes break down proteins or fats on the fabric, forming water-soluble substances that can be washed away.
Why do some washing powders dissolve quicker in hot water than in cold?
Raising the temperature of a solvent, like water, increases the solvent's capacity to dissolve a solute, like washing powder.
Why it is recommended on biological washing powders to wash clothes at low temperature?
Far as I concern, the claim on low temperature is not accurate. Usually what branded a biological washing powder is inclusion of enzyme to help remove grease and protein. Higher temperature give more kinetic energy and so the enzyme activity increase. However, when the temperature is too high the enzyme may denature. For the Lipase enzyme, optimum temperature is 37 C. I don't think 37 C is considered low temperature. It is rather stated best use at human body temperature.

What is the difference with biological and non biological wash powder?
