Protease is an important component of detergents, and its combination with additives can enhance the washing effect. This experiment used various methods to evaluate the whiteness and stain residues on fabric samples before and after washing. A protease detergent formula with superior decontamination and anti-deposition effects was selected. The combination of alkaline protease, keratinase, and trypsin showed cost-effective stain removal. In addition, the composite protease exhibited better overall decontamination than commercial detergents when used with suitable surfactants, anti-redeposition agents, and water-softening agents.
Protease is the main enzyme of detergent. Through the combination of different proteases and the combination of protease and detergent additives, it can adapt to different washing conditions to improve the washing effect. In this experiment, whiteness determination, microscope scanning, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to detect the whiteness values of the cloth pieces before and after washing, as well as the stain residue between the fibers on the surface of the cloth pieces. The protease detergent formula with better decontamination and anti-deposition effects was selected. The combination of alkaline protease, keratinase, and trypsin was cost-effective in removing stains. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the molecular weight of the protein significantly changed after adding the enzyme preparation during washing, and the molecular weight of the protein was directly proportional to protein redeposition. The composite protease had a better comprehensive decontamination effect, and when compatible with suitable surfactants, anti-redeposition agents, and water-softening agents, the compound protease detergent exhibited a stronger decontamination ability than commercial detergents.
