Protease enzyme stabilization system: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

The engineering of specific proteolytic enzyme concentrations and stability within a multi-component detergent matrix. This controls proteinaceous soil degradation efficiency during the wash cycle.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Protease enzyme stabilization system?

Low temperature enzymatic instability

(11)evidences

Standard detergent enzymes often lose catalytic efficiency and stability in cold water wash cycles. Overcoming this limitation allows for effective stain removal at lower temperatures, reducing energy consumption and preventing fabric damage.

Proteolytic enzyme instability

(10)evidences

Protease enzymes in detergent formulations tend to break down themselves or other functional proteins during storage and use. Preventing this degradation ensures consistent cleaning performance and longer product shelf life.

Proteolytic enzyme degradation
