What else can I help you with?
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.
what types of washing powders contain enzymes?
non-bio
Which household prodict contain enzymes?
Most laundry detergents contain enzymes to help breakdown stains such as blood
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.
What is enzymes important role in biological chemistry?
Certain foods or substances stain clothes very badly. Blood, egg and milk all contain lots of protein. Enzymes are added to modern biological washing powders because they digest these proteins in the substances, removing the stains. They produce less pollution compared to detergents.
What does laundry detergent have in it that removes stains?
AnswerThe regular powders contain bleach (which is why colours fade) and if the powder is biological, enzymes.
How does wash powder work?
Biological washing powders work by using enzymes, which are biological catalysts*, to 'eat' away at the bacteria in clothes. *catalysts - A chemical that speeds up chemical reactions. Eg. Enzymes in saliva speed up the chemcal reaction of braking food down to glucose.
Why are biological washing powers good at removing stains?
Biological washing powders contain enzymes that break down organic stains like food and sweat. These enzymes help to loosen and remove the stains effectively during washing, making the detergent more efficient at stain removal.
Why is it that UK detergents say bio and non-bio?
Biological powders contain enzymes which are more effective at cleaning especially at lower temperatures, however these enzymes can irritate sensitive skin - hence the non bio option.

Uses of enzymes in biological washing products?

What are the negatives of biological washing powders?
Biological washing powders can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals due to the enzymes and other chemicals they contain. They may also be less effective in cold water, requiring higher temperatures for optimal performance, which can increase energy consumption. Additionally, the enzymes in these products can harm aquatic life if not properly treated in wastewater. Finally, there are concerns about the potential for environmental impact due to the production and disposal of chemical ingredients.

How are biological washing powders made?
Biological washing powders are made by combining enzyme-containing ingredients, such as proteases or lipases, with other components like surfactants, builders, and optical brighteners. These enzymes help break down tough stains and organic material, making the detergent more effective in removing dirt and grime from clothing. The formulation is then mixed and processed into a powder form for packaging and distribution.
