Cleaning
Enzymes that degrade proteins, fats and carbohydrates are important active ingredients in products such as laundry and dishwashing detergents, stain removers and industrial cleaning products, including medical device applications. Enzymes improve the breakdown of specific stains, enhancing the removal by other cleaning ingredients, making detergents more effective. Because enzymes can be optimized to work at lower temperatures, they also save energy through cold wash applications. To learn more, please see “Enzymes the Cleaning Industry (PDF)”.
