LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -The enzymes they use are: savinase and alcalase (both proteases), termamyl (amylase), lipolase (lipase), and celluzyme (cellulase).

Detailed explanation-2: -Most biological laundry detergents contain lipase and protease enzymes, both of which are found in the body. Lipases break down fats and oils, while proteases work to break down protein chains.

Detailed explanation-3: -The alkaline proteases as well as other detergent-compatible enzymes such as lipases and amylases serve now as the key components in detergent formulations. They break down various stains during fabric washing. The search for detergent-compatible proteases with better properties is a continuous exercise.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biological detergents contain protein-digesting enzymes produced by genetically engineered bacteria. Many of the stains on clothes, like blood and sweat, are proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Biological washing powders contain protease and lipase to remove protein stains and fat /grease from clothes.
