Engineered glycosyl hydrolase protease blends: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

The technical lever is the specific genetic or structural modification of enzymes to maintain catalytic activity in cold water laundry environments. This enables low-temperature cleaning performance and energy efficiency.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Engineered glycosyl hydrolase protease blends?

Persistent textile soil adhesion

(7)evidences

Standard detergents fail to break down complex carbohydrate and protein matrices on surfaces. Synergistic enzyme blends overcome this cleaning bottleneck to restore surface hygiene.

Low temperature stain persistence

(7)evidences

Standard enzymatic detergents lose catalytic efficiency in cold water conditions. Improving activity at low temperatures enables effective cleaning while reducing energy consumption.

Recalcitrant biofouling and stain persistence

(4)evidences

Standard cleaning agents fail to degrade complex carbohydrate-protein-DNA matrices found in stubborn soils. Enhancing enzymatic degradation of these biological scaffolds enables complete removal of residues from surfaces.

Recalcitrant food soil adhesion

(3)evidences

The keywords highlight the difficulty of removing complex fatty acid soils from surfaces during cleaning. Addressing this limitation improves the cleaning efficiency of consumer detergent products.
