ENZYMES
What do they do?
Enzymes can perform two main roles in
A laundry detergent:
effect stain removal
provide colour and fabric care
How do they work?
Enzymes break down large molecules such as proteins, carbohydrates and fats into smaller
segments. These smaller segments are either water-soluble, or are of size and polarity compatible
with surfactants meaning that they can be suspended in solution.
Enzymes are catalysts. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions without themselves becoming
consumed in the process. So, only a small amount of an enzyme is required in the laundry detergent
formulation because the enzyme can work over and over again. However this does not mean that
the same detergent solution can be used again and again for many washes - although enzymes may
remain active, the finite amounts of other key ingredients limit the amount of soil that can be
suspended in solution by each detergent dose.
Most enzymes are destroyed by high temperatures, i.e. above 60 °C. They are usually most effective
at warm water temperatures (e.g. 40 °C), however some enzymes are best for use in cold water.
Stain removal
Different enzymes are able to break down different types of stains. Some enzymes degrade protein
stains, (such as blood, dairy products, eggs, meat, mud, and grass), into small units called “peptides”.
Other enzymes degrade carbohydrates (such as potato, pasta and rice) into smaller molecules called
“oligosaccharides” or “monosaccharides”. Others degrade fats (or “lipids”) such as butter and oil. Whatever the type of stain, after its enzymatic breakdown, surfactants suspend the resulting fragments in solution.
