Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions occurring in a variety of biological processes including digestion and growth. In the detergent industry, commercial enzymes are used to provide a higher degree of stain removal, whiteness, fabric and colour care and overall cleaning performance.

Detailed explanation-2: -We know that modern detergents are formulated with enzymes and other ingredients that allow clothes washing to be environmentally friendly by reducing the water needed for washing and eliminating the need for hot water, which reduces the energy needed to do each load of laundry.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzyme inactivation increases in parallel although it trails lipid solubilization. Thus, in general, pre-servation of enzyme activity requires the use of a lower concentration of detergent, the lower its CMC.

Detailed explanation-4: -The five classes of enzymes found in laundry detergent include proteases, amylases, lipases, cellulases, and mannanases. They break down proteins (e.g. in blood and egg stains), starch, fats, cellulose (e.g. in vegetable puree), and mannans (e.g. in bean gum stains) respectively.
