Engineered amylase protease enzyme blends: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Enzymatic instability in surfactant-rich environments leads to rapid loss of cleaning efficacy. These innovations utilize site-specific protein engineering to maintain catalytic activity under harsh chemical conditions.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Engineered amylase protease enzyme blends?

Proteinaceous soil persistence

(14)evidences

Inadequate breakdown of proteinaceous and starchy soils under diverse wash conditions. Improving catalytic efficiency across varying temperatures and pH levels prevents soil redeposition and fabric graying.

Recalcitrant carbohydrate stain persistence

(9)evidences

Starch and tannin-based residues resist standard chemical surfactants during low-temperature wash cycles. Eliminating these specific soil types prevents fabric graying and improves cleaning efficacy.
