Detergent Using fermentation methods in biotechnology, microorganisms are able to live in optimal conditions and enzymes can be produced for industrial use, since naturally occurring enzymes are scarce. These enzymes can then be isolated and processed for further use.
Cleaning solutions using enzymes are manufactured based on how well a particular bacterium degrades fat, oil, and vegetable matter. These enzymes, which are kept in a stabilized state, only begin to function when hydration occurs. To make an enzyme-based detergent, it is crucial to select bacteria that are capable of degrading fat, oils, and vegetable matter. After stabilizing the enzyme, the idea is to get it to begin working on hydration.
Basically, there are four major kinds of enzymes: lipases (cause the breakdown of fats, oils, and greases), proteases (comprise the breakdown of proteins as in blood), amylases (combines the breakdown of carbohydrates), and cellulases (comprise the breakdown of cellulose).
