AI Technical Summary
Existing household detergents struggle to effectively remove tough stains and soils based on hemicellulose residues from cereal crops, plants, and fungi, especially at lower temperatures, due to their low solubility and adhesive properties.
A biodegradable detergent composition comprising a combination of glycosyl hydrolases that target both alpha-(1,4)- and beta-glycosidic bonds, including alpha-amylase and enzymes like beta-glucanase, laminarinase, and cellulase, which work synergistically to break down hemicellulose residues and improve stain removal.
The composition achieves high efficiency in removing tough stains and soils at lower temperatures (30-60°C) and pH 10.0-12.5, preventing resorption on smooth surfaces and maintaining stability and activity over a wide pH range, making it suitable for various household detergents.
