The enzymes in the textile business, a modern take on an age-old art, use a number of processes to produce the fabrics that we wear on a daily basis. Desizing process is one such important factor that makes sure the cloth is prepared for dyeing and finishing. With a special focus on the desizing enzyme technology that has transformed the textile manufacturing industry, this article explores the interesting world of enzymes and their critical function in the enzyme desizing process.
How Desizing Enzymes Work
Desizing enzymes, primarily amylases, target the starch-based sizing agents used on yarns during the textile manufacturing process. Starch sizing is applied to strengthen yarns for weaving, but it must be removed before dyeing to ensure even color absorption. Amylases catalyze the breakdown of starch into smaller, water-soluble molecules like maltose and dextrin, which can then be easily washed away.
The textile fibers are not harmed by this extremely selective enzymatic process, which only targets the starch. Depending on the particular enzyme being utilized, ideal conditions for this reaction could vary from 50 to 70°C and 5.5 to 7.
