Protease enzymes
Pepsin is a bad enzyme in washing powder because it can break down and damage fabrics, leading to the deterioration of clothing. In addition, pepsin is not effective in removing stains or dirt from clothes as it is specifically designed to digest proteins in the stomach rather than act as a cleaning agent.
Biological washing powder mean it contained enzyme that targeting specific type of stain such as protein, starch and fat by breaking down and make it dispersed through water easier at lower temperature than a conventional non-enzyme base detergent.
Lipase is used in washing powders to break down and remove oils and fats from clothing during the washing process. This enzyme helps to remove tough stains like grease and oils more effectively, resulting in cleaner clothes.
One common test to detect the presence of an enzyme in a biological washing powder is to perform an enzyme activity test. This can be done by measuring the rate of reaction or the products formed when the enzyme acts on its substrate. Another method is to use specific substrates that change color when acted upon by the enzyme, indicating its presence.
Well... BASICALLY... they aren't even in washing powder, washing powder consists of tiny women, with really small sponges, who clean, and then cover your clothes in not very nice smelling odurs. I hope this helped. Love 11YD1 Science.
High temperatures can denature enzymes in washing powder, causing them to lose their shape and function. This can result in reduced effectiveness in breaking down stains and cleaning clothes. It is best to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended wash temperature to ensure optimal enzyme activity.
The alkali washing powder is called sodium carbonate, commonly known as washing soda or soda ash. It is used as a cleaning agent and water softener in laundry detergents.
Protease enzymes
Washing powder doesn't contain acids.
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down sugars. The powder form is used in making homemade beer and brews.
Washing powder was first invented by Otto Rohm in Germany in 1907. Rohm's creation paved the way for the development of modern laundry detergents used for washing clothes.
The scientific name for washing powder is sodium carbonate.
