Power ingredients
Due to the diversity of soils, four different enzyme types are typically added to the formulations:
- Proteases degrade proteins e.g. those present in blood, hospital textiles, and dairy and meat processing units
- Amylases degrade polysaccharides e.g. present in the gastrointestinal tract, in the exopolysaccharide matrix of biofilm, in food stains, and in starch processing food plants
- Cellulases degrade celluloses e.g. present in undigested food, and when removing cotton pills on textile
- Lipases degrade oils and fats e.g. present in blood, body soils, food stains, and dairy and meat processing
