Abstract
Description
[0001] The technical field of the invention
[0002] The present invention relates to novel lipolytic enzymes capable of removing substantial amounts of fatty material in one wash cycle. Background of the invention
[0003] For many years lipolytic enzymes have been used as detergent enzymes, ie to remove lipid or fatty soils from clothing and other textiles. For example, various microbial lipases have been suggested as detergent enzymes. Examples of such lipases include Humicola lanuginosa lipase (as described in EP 258 068 and EP 305 216), Rhizomucor miehei lipase (as described in EP 238 023 and Boel, et al., Lipids 23, 701-706, 1988 described in ), Absidia sp. lipolytic enzyme (WO96 / 13578), Candida lipase (such as C. antarctica lipase, for example C. antarctica lipase A or B described in EP 214 761), Pseudomonas lipases (such as Ps.alcaligenes and Ps.pseudoalcaligenes lipases, e.g. as described in EP 218 272, Burkeholm onion cepacia lipase, as described in EP 331 376), t...
