Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of enzyme preparations, their production methods, and scented booster beads, and particularly relates to enzyme preparations and their production methods, and deodorizing / odor-removing scented booster beads.

Background Art

[0002] It is a common problem that dirt still remains on clothes even after washing. When some stubborn dirt penetrates into the fibers, it cannot be cleaned neatly by general washing methods. When drying clothes, the fragrance of the clothes gradually disappears as the essence gradually volatilizes. When storing clothes for a long time, there is also a possibility that a bad smell gradually occurs. This is because bacteria remain on the clothes when washing or dirt remains on leather etc. When storing clothes, if the humidity of the environment where the clothes are stored is high and the air permeability is poor, the growth of bacteria can be supported. If bacteria multiply in large quantities on clothes, there is a possibility of forming an odor.

[0003] Also, when a person wears clothes, the sweat and sebum secreted from the human body become rich nutrients for bacteria. When bacteria decompose such organic compounds, various volatile organic compounds, such as ammonia, sulfides, etc., are generated. The emission of such volatile organic compounds may cause unpleasant odors such as the sweat smell and sour smell of clothes. Also, the material of clothes may affect the generation of odors. For example, cotton clothes can easily absorb sweat and bacteria due to their strong hygroscopicity, and synthetic fiber clothes may support the growth of bacteria and the generation of odors due to their poor air permeability.

[0004] When washing, storing, and wearing clothes, the wearing experience of clothes can be effectively improved by suppressing the growth of bacteria and removing odor substances.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of conventional technologies, the object of the present invention is to provide an enzyme preparation, a method for producing the same, and deodorizing / odor-removing scented booster beads, thereby ensuring that clothing odors are always removed when washing, storing, and wearing clothes. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention employs the following technical features. An enzyme preparation is provided in a first example of the present invention. The enzyme preparation comprises a complex enzyme microcapsule and a protease microcapsule having a mass ratio of (3-6):1, and when the core material of the complex enzyme microcapsule is weighed by mass, the core material contains 12-15 mins of lipase, 2-4 mins of amylase, 5-8 mins of ficin, 2-4 mins of cellulase, 1-3 mins of pectinase, and 1-3 mins of phosphodiesterase.

[0007] In the enzyme preparation, the core of the protease microcapsule contains at least one of alkaline protease, papain, trypsin, hydrophilic protease, and neutral protease.

[0008] In the enzyme preparation, the lipase comprises at least one of yeast lipase, bacillus lipase, and Aspergillus niger lipase.

[0009] In the enzyme preparation, the base material of the wall material of the complex enzyme microcapsule and the protease microcapsule includes at least one of melamine resin, polyurethane, urea-formaldehyde resin, melamine, polyethylene glycol, chitosan, modified cellulose, and modified plant protein.

[0010] A second example of the present invention provides a method for producing an enzyme preparation. The method for producing the enzyme preparation is used in the production of the enzyme preparation. The process involves preparing an 8-10 wt% complex enzyme solution and a 2-4 wt% protease solution, respectively, and then mixing the complex enzyme solution and protease solution with microporous starch to adsorb the complex enzyme solution and protease solution onto the microporous starch, wherein the mass ratio of the microporous starch to the complex enzyme solution and protease solution is 1:(1-3). The process involves adding microporous starch to which a complex enzyme is attached, microporous starch to which a protease is attached, and a wall material substrate to water, stirring at high speed, and then drying them to obtain complex enzyme microcapsules and protease microcapsules, respectively. The method includes the step of obtaining an enzyme preparation by mixing a complex enzyme microcapsule and a protease microcapsule in a predetermined proportion.

[0011] A third example of the present invention provides deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads. The deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads contain a carrier and an active ingredient. When the active ingredient of the deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads is weighed by mass, it contains an enzyme preparation of 5 to 8 minutes and a deodorizing and odor-removing microcapsule of 18 to 24 minutes. The deodorizing and odor-removing microcapsule contains a core layer and a shell layer, and the core layer contains a softening agent component and an essence.

[0012] In the aforementioned deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads, the essence comprises at least one of the following: terpene essence, aldehyde essence, ketone essence, fat essence, phenol essence, lactone essence, and aldehyde essence.

[0013] In the aforementioned deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads, the fabric softener component comprises at least one of a quaternary ammonium salt, double octadecyldimethylammonium chloride, silicone oil, and siloxane.

[0014] In the aforementioned deodorizing / odor-removing scented booster beads, the carrier comprises polyethylene glycol, microporous starch, or silica.

[0015] In the aforementioned deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads, the active ingredient further contains an antibacterial component, the antibacterial component being one of a chemically synthesized antibacterial agent, a natural plant-based antibacterial agent, or a silver ion antibacterial agent. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] The enzyme preparation of the present invention can achieve the following effects. The enzyme preparation of the present invention is composed of various enzymes, and by using multiple enzymes in combination, it can effectively remove dirt and decompose odor-causing substances. Furthermore, because the enzyme preparation of the present invention has excellent bacterial killing ability, it can further reduce the generation of foul odors caused by bacterial putrefaction.

[0017] This invention packages an enzyme preparation into microcapsules using microencapsulation technology. When washing clothes, a portion of the microencapsulated enzyme preparation is released, while the other portion remains attached to the clothing. When storing or wearing the dried clothing, the enzyme preparation attached to the clothing is released by friction. This allows for deodorization and sterilization of clothing during storage or wear.

[0018] The present invention further provides a deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster bead. By using a combination of the scented booster bead and the enzyme preparation, the deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster bead can maintain the fragrance and softness of clothing for a long time, exhibit sterilization and antibacterial effects, and remove odor-causing substances. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0019] [Figure 1] This is a photograph showing an actual example of the deodorizing and odor-removing microcapsule of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0020] This invention provides an enzyme preparation, a method for producing the same, and deodorizing / odor-removing scented booster beads. To more clearly and in detail explain the object, technical aspects, and effects of this invention, specific examples will be described below. It should be noted that the following specific examples are illustrative of the invention and do not limit it.

[0021] An enzyme preparation is provided in a first example of the present invention. The enzyme preparation comprises composite enzyme microcapsules and protease microcapsules having a mass ratio of (3-6):1. When the core material of the composite enzyme microcapsule is weighed by mass, the core material of the composite enzyme microcapsule contains lipase (12-15 mins), amylase (2-4 mins), ficin (5-8 mins), cellulase (2-4 mins), pectinase (1-3 mins), and phosphodiesterase (PDE) (1-3 mins).

[0022] To avoid the protease from performing enzymatic hydrolysis on other enzymes, the present invention combines and packages lipase, amylase, ficin, cellulase, pectinase, and phosphodiesterase (PDE), and individually packages the protease. Among the various enzymes of the present invention, lipase can rapidly decompose the oil on clothes and efficiently remove oil stains, such as grease, sauce, sebum, and cosmetic stains. When the oil is decomposed, substances with good water solubility are formed, and thus the water-soluble substances can be easily removed. Amylase is mainly used to remove starch stains such as potatoes, noodles, and rice adhering to clothes. Ficin can destroy the cell walls of bacteria, kill bacteria, and inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria. By reducing the number of bacteria on clothes, the odor caused by the reproduction of bacteria can be effectively prevented. The protease can form water-soluble peptides and amino acids by hydrolyzing protein stains. Thereby, protein stains such as sweat, blood, milk, and grass can be removed. When clothes are worn or washed, microfibers are formed on the surface of cellulose fibers, and the microfibers adsorb dirt and pigments to form color spots that are difficult to remove. Cellulase can remove microfibers by hydrolyzing them. Thereby, the surface of the clothes can be smoothed and the color spots can be reduced. Pectinase can decompose pectin and effectively remove pectin stains on clothes, such as juice, jam, and vegetable juice. When phosphodiesterase (PDE) performs hydrolysis through phosphodiester bond, various stains containing the chemical bond are changed into small fragments and molecules, and by cooperating with other enzymes, a better washing effect can be obtained.

[0023] Preferably, the core of the protease microcapsules contains at least one of alkaline protease, papain, trypsin, hydrophilic protease, and neutral protease.

[0024] In the present invention, by the cooperation of various enzymes, it is possible to remove the substrate that generates odor substances and the bacteria that form odor substances on the substrate respectively, and comprehensively achieve the goals of stain removal, deodorization, and odor elimination.

[0025] The enzyme preparation of the present invention not only plays a role when washing clothes, but also can continue to play a role when storing and wearing clothes. The microcapsule wall material of the enzyme preparation can adhere to the fibers of clothes. When washing clothes, part of the microcapsule wall material can be ruptured to release the enzyme. Even after washing clothes, most of the enzyme preparation still adheres to the clothes. When drying the clothes, the microcapsules become brittle and can be easily cracked by friction, so that various enzymes in the microcapsules can be released. When storing clothes, an environment suitable for the growth of bacteria can be formed by the clothes absorbing moisture or when wearing the clothes, the clothes absorbing the sweat of the human body. The enzyme released from the clothes still has activity in that environment and can play a predetermined role. Thereby, the generation of odor can be effectively reduced, and a certain bactericidal effect on bacteria can be ensured.

[0026] Preferably, the lipase comprises at least one of yeast lipase, bacillus lipase, and aspergillus niger lipase. Both bacillus lipase and aspergillus niger lipase are broad-spectrum lipases. Aspergillus niger lipase can hydrolyze various types of fats, such as animal and vegetable oils and fats. Bacillus lipase can hydrolyze various triglycerides and has excellent stability and resistance.

[0027] The base material for the wall material of the aforementioned complex enzyme microcapsule and protease microcapsule includes at least one of the following: melamine resin, polyurethane, urea-formaldehyde resins, melamine, polyethylene glycol, chitosan, modified cellulose, and modified vegetable protein.

[0028] Preferably, in the wall material of enzyme microcapsules, melamine resin and denatured plant protein are used as the wall material. The ratio of the mass of the melamine resin to the denatured plant protein is 1:(2~4). By having the ratio of the mass of the melamine resin to the denatured plant protein within the above range, the thickness and strength of the enzyme microcapsule can be optimized, ensuring that some of the enzymes (in the enzyme microcapsule) are released when washing clothes and most of the enzymes (in the enzyme microcapsule) are released by friction after drying clothes.

[0029] A second example of the present invention provides a method for producing an enzyme preparation. The method for producing the enzyme preparation used in the production of the enzyme preparation includes the following steps.

[0030] After preparing 8-10 wt% complex enzyme solution and 2-4 wt% protease solution, respectively, the complex enzyme solution and protease solution are mixed with microporous starch to adsorb the complex enzyme solution and protease solution onto the microporous starch. The mass ratio of microporous starch to the complex enzyme solution and protease solution is 1:(1-3).

[0031] Microporous starch to which a complex enzyme is attached, and microporous starch to which a protease is attached, along with a wall material base, are placed in water, stirred at high speed, and then dried to obtain complex enzyme microcapsules and protease microcapsules, respectively.

[0032] An enzyme preparation is obtained by mixing a complex enzyme microcapsule and a protease microcapsule in a predetermined proportion.

[0033] In a third example of the present invention, deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads are provided. When the raw materials for producing the deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads are weighed by mass, the raw materials for producing the deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads contain the following components: namely, an enzyme preparation of 5 to 8 minutes and deodorizing and odor-removing microcapsules of 18 to 24 minutes. The deodorizing and odor-removing microcapsules contain a core layer and a shell layer. The core layer contains silicone oil and essence, and the shell layer contains denatured plant protein and melamine resin.

[0034] In the core layer's raw materials, silicone oil ensures flexibility, while the essence covers odors and eliminates some of them. The invented deodorizing and odor-removing microcapsules are also released by rupture due to friction. This allows for the continuous release of fragrance and prevention of static electricity when storing clothing. Modified plant proteins, such as legume proteins, possess gelling and emulsifying properties in the microcapsule delivery system. This further improves the structure of the shell layer and enhances the adhesion of the microcapsules to clothing.

[0035] Preferably, the denatured plant protein can be at least one of soy protein and barley protein.

[0036] Preferably, the essence comprises at least one of the following: terpene essence, aldehyde essence, ketone essence, fat essence, phenolic essence, lactone essence, and aldehyde essence.

[0037] Among various essences, some terpene essences possess a certain degree of antibacterial properties, which can suppress odors caused by bacterial growth. Some aldehyde essences have a certain degree of oxidizing properties, and by reacting with odor molecules, they can reduce odors.

[0038] Preferably, the terpene essence contains at least one of clove oil phenol and menthol. Clove oil phenol is a sesquiterpene compound that has strong inhibitory and lethal properties against various bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Menthol is a monoterpene compound that can effectively inhibit the growth of various bacteria and fungi. Citronellal is also a monoterpene compound that exists within citronellol. Citronellal can exert an antibacterial effect by inhibiting spinodal activity through binding to DNA helicase, thereby suppressing bacterial DNA replication.

[0039] Preferably, the aldehyde essence contains at least one of vanillin and neral. Vanillin emits a vanilla-like aroma and has certain antioxidant properties. Vanillin can neutralize odors by chemically reacting with odor molecules. Neral is an unsaturated aldehyde that emits a fresh citrus aroma and has certain oxidizing properties. Neral can effectively reduce the intensity of odors by oxidizing with sulfides, amines, etc. in odor molecules, converting them into odorless molecules or less irritating substances.

[0040] By using a combination of the various raw materials mentioned above, it is possible to enrich the fragrance and also achieve better results in removing and reproducing odors.

[0041] Preferably, the softening agent components include at least one of quaternary ammonium salt, double octadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, silicone oil, and siloxane.

[0042] Preferably, when using silicone oil and essence, the ratio of the masses of the silicone oil and essence is 1:(1.5~2).

[0043] Preferably, in the deodorizing / odor-removing microcapsule, the ratio of the mass of the silicone oil and essence to the shell layer raw material is (32-35):(25-28), and in the shell layer raw material, the ratio of the mass of melamine resin to modified plant protein is 1:(5-7).

[0044] Preferably, the carrier includes polyethylene glycol, microporous starch, or silica. Specifically, by using polyethylene glycol as a substrate and uniformly dispersing microcapsules within the polyethylene glycol, stable scented booster bead particles can be formed. By uniformly mixing microporous starch or silica as a substrate with microcapsules, the scented booster beads have good moldability and stability. Furthermore, the scented booster beads can extend the time it takes for the essence to be released, improving the fragrance retention effect. Water-soluble membrane materials such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) can form independent scented booster bead particles by encapsulating essence microcapsules within the membrane.

[0045] Preferably, the active ingredient further comprises an antimicrobial agent. The antimicrobial agent may be a chemically synthesized antimicrobial agent, such as 3,4,4'-triclocarban, triclosan, or 4,4'-dichloro-2-hydroxyphenyl ether. The antimicrobial agent may also be a natural plant-derived antimicrobial agent, such as wild chrysanthemum extract, aloe vera extract, or mugwort leaf extract. The antimicrobial agent may also be a silver ion antimicrobial agent.

[0046] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to specific examples.

[0047] Example 1 The enzyme preparation consists of a complex enzyme microcapsule and a protease microcapsule, with a mass ratio of 5:1. When the core material of the complex enzyme microcapsule is weighed by mass, it consists of the following components: 13 / min of batils lipase, 4 / min of amylase, 6 / min of ficin, 3 / min of cellulase, 2 / min of pectinase, and 2 / min of phosphodiesterase (PDE). The core of the protease microcapsule is alkaline protease. The manufacturing material for the wall material of the complex enzyme microcapsule and the protease microcapsule consists of melamine resin and denatured plant protein, with a mass ratio of 1:3.

[0048] The method for producing the enzyme preparation in this embodiment includes the following steps.

[0049] After preparing a 10 wt% complex enzyme solution and a 3 wt% protease solution, the complex enzyme solution and protease solution are mixed with microporous starch to adsorb the complex enzyme solution and protease solution onto the microporous starch. During the adsorption process, the adsorption time is set to 2 hours and the temperature is controlled to 20-25°C. The mass ratio of microporous starch to the complex enzyme solution and protease solution is 1:2.

[0050] Microporous starch to which a complex enzyme is attached, and microporous starch to which a protease is attached, along with a wall material base, are placed in water, stirred at high speed, and then dried to obtain complex enzyme microcapsules and protease microcapsules, respectively.

[0051] An enzyme preparation is obtained by mixing a complex enzyme microcapsule and a protease microcapsule in a predetermined proportion.

[0052] Deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads are manufactured using the enzyme preparation obtained through this process. The deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads consist of the following components: 7 parts enzyme preparation, 21 parts deodorizing and odor-removing microcapsules, 80 parts polyethylene glycol, and 8 parts silica. The molecular weight of polyethylene glycol is 5000.

[0053] The method for producing the enzyme preparation in this embodiment includes the following steps.

[0054] In step S1, silicone oil, essence, and shell layer are added to water, mixed uniformly by high-speed stirring, and then dried to obtain deodorizing and odor-removing microcapsules. The essence consists of 3 / 3 clove oil phenol and 3 / 3 neral. The mass ratio of silicone oil to essence is 1:2, and the mass ratio of the silicone oil and essence to the shell layer raw material is 32:26. In the shell layer raw material, the mass ratio of melamine resin to modified plant protein is 1:6.

[0055] In step S2, the polyethylene glycol is heated until it becomes a clear liquid, and then silica is added and mixed evenly.

[0056] In step S3, the enzyme preparation and deodorizing / odor-removing microcapsules are added and mixed evenly, and then particles (scented booster beads) are produced to obtain the deodorizing / odor-removing scented booster beads.

[0057] Example 2 Example 2 provides a deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster bead. The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that Aspergillus niger lipase is used instead of Bacillus lipase as in Example 1.

[0058] Example 3 Example 3 provides deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads. The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is that the enzyme preparation in Example 3 is composed of the following components. Specifically, the enzyme preparation in Example 3 is composed of 15 min batils lipase, 3 min amylase, 5 min ficin, 4 min cellulase, 1 min pectinase, and 3 min phosphodiesterase (PDE).

[0059] Example 4 Example 4 provides a deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster bead. The difference between Example 4 and Example 1 is that the enzyme preparation in Example 4 consists of a complex enzyme microcapsule and a protease microcapsule with a mass ratio of 3:1.

The difference between Example 5 and Example 1 is that the deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster bead in Example 5 consists of a 5-minute enzyme preparation and a 23-minute deodorizing and odor-removing microcapsule.

[0061] Example 6 Example 6 provides a deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster bead. The difference between Example 6 and Example 1 is that the essence of Example 6 consists of 3 / 3 menthol and 3 / 3 neral.

[0062] Example 7 Example 7 provides a deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster bead. The difference between Example 7 and Example 1 is that the essence of Example 7 consists of 6 parts clove oil phenol.

[0063] Example 8 Example 8 provides a deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster bead. The difference between Example 8 and Example 1 is that the essence of Example 8 is composed of 6 parts minerals.

[0064] Example 9 Example 9 provides a deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster bead. The difference between Example 9 and Example 1 is that the essence of Example 9 consists of 3 / 3 clove oil phenol and 3 / 3 vanillin.

[0065] Ratio 1 The present invention provides odor-eliminating and odor-removing scented booster beads in proportion to proportion 1. The difference between proportion to proportion 1 and Example 1 is that no enzyme preparation is added to the odor-eliminating and odor-removing scented booster beads of proportion to proportion 1.

[0066] Ratio Proportionality 2 In the proportion 2 model, we provide deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads. The difference between the proportion 2 model and Example 1 is that papaya enzyme is used instead of ficin.

[0067] Ratio Proportionality 3 The present invention provides odor-eliminating and odor-removing scented booster beads in proportion 3. The difference between proportion 3 and Example 1 is that the amount of ficin in proportion 3 is 2 parts.

[0068] Ratio 4 The ratio 4 provides odor-eliminating and odor-removing scented booster beads. The difference between ratio 4 and Example 1 is that the odor-eliminating and odor-removing scented booster beads of ratio 4 contain 9 min bacillus lipase and 10 min ficin.

[0071] Ratio 7 In the proportion 7 formulation, we provide deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads. The difference between the proportion 7 formulation and Example 1 is that cellulase is not added to the enzyme preparation in the proportion 7 formulation.

[0072] Ratio 8 In the proportion 8 formulation, we provide deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads. The difference between the proportion 8 formulation and Example 1 is that the enzyme preparation in the proportion 8 formulation does not contain phosphodiesterase (PDE).

[0073] The performance of the deodorizing / odor-removing scented booster beads is measured in proportion to that of the above embodiment.

[0074] The antibacterial activity of deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads on textiles was measured under different conditions, and the measurement method is as follows:

[0075] In Measurement 1, sterilized clothing is placed in 3 liters of sterile water, and after the clothing is fully immersed in the sterile water, 30 g of scented booster beads is added and the mixture is agitated for 20 minutes (agitated every 5 minutes, with each agitation lasting 30 seconds). Next, the clothing is removed, wrung out, and allowed to air dry. This process can be described in part 3 of GB / T 20944.3-2008, Textile, Antimicrobial Evaluation. The number of bacteria and fungi on the clothing is measured by vibration and compared with clothing that was not washed with scented booster beads.

[0076] In Measurement 2, the garments washed and dried using the method described above are stored for two weeks in an environment with a humidity of 85-90% and a temperature of 22-25°C. During this time, sterile gloves are worn, and the garments are lightly rubbed every two days. Sampling is taken on the 7th and 14th days. Specifically, 4 cm of the garment is measured. 2 Take three samples. Next, cut them into small pieces and place them in 10 mL of sterile physiological saline solution. After shaking thoroughly, weigh the amount of bacteria and fungi in the clothing and calculate the antibacterial rate (see colony counting method).

[0077] In Measurement 3, a sweat-containing solution is prepared by placing the clothing worn by the volunteer and soaked with sweat into 1 liter of sterile water, ensuring the clothing is fully immersed in the sterile water. A 10cm x 10cm piece of the treated clothing is taken and immersed in the sweat-containing solution. Next, the clothing piece is removed, dewatered, and allowed to air dry. This process can be described in Part 3 of GB / T 20944.3-2008, Textile, Antimicrobial Evaluation. The concentration of surviving bacteria after 4 hours is determined by the vibration method, and the antimicrobial rate is calculated.

[0078] When sampling clothing, 10 healthy volunteers evaluate the smell of the garments. Volunteers are prohibited from smoking and consuming food or drinks for two hours prior to the evaluation.

[0079] The evaluation criteria are as follows: [Table 1]

[0080] The results of the prescribed measurements are as follows: [Table 2]

[0081] [Table 3]

[0082] [Table 4]

[0083] By comparing each embodiment of the present invention with comparative examples, it can be seen that the deodorizing and odor-removing scented booster beads according to Embodiments 1 to 9 of the present invention exhibit better antibacterial effects and sensory scores, and superior overall performance.

[0084] The difference between Proportional Reaction 1 and Example 1 is that no enzyme preparation was added to the deodorizing / odor-removing scented booster beads of Proportional Reaction 1. As a result, the antibacterial effect of the deodorizing / odor-removing scented booster beads decreased significantly, and the sensory score also decreased significantly. This explains that by using an enzyme preparation, the growth of bacteria and fungi can be significantly suppressed, and the generation of unpleasant odors due to decay, etc., can be reduced.

[0085] The difference between Proportional Reaction 2 and Example 1 lies in the use of papaya enzyme instead of ficin in Example 1. As a result, the antibacterial effect is significantly reduced, and the sensory score also decreases significantly. The antibacterial effect of papaya enzyme is significantly inferior to that of ficin, and when the antibacterial effect is reduced, the amount of odor-causing substances produced by the proliferation and metabolism of bacteria and fungi increases.

[0086] The difference between proportionality 3 and Example 1 lies in the significantly lower dose of ficin in proportionality 3. This results in a significant decrease in both the antibacterial effect and the sensory score. This explains that a sufficient antibacterial effect cannot be obtained unless a certain amount of ficin is reached.

[0087] The difference between proportionality 4 and Example 1 is that in proportionality 4, the dose of bacillus lipase is lower and the dose of ficin is higher. As a result, the antibacterial effect remains almost unchanged, but the sensory score decreases significantly. This is because if fat is not sufficiently broken down, odor-causing substances are produced when the fat is utilized by a small number of microorganisms unaffected by the enzyme.

[0088] The difference between Ratio 5 and Example 1 lies in adjusting the ratio of the masses of the complex enzyme microcapsules and the protease microcapsules in Ratio 5. Specifically, the dose of the complex enzyme microcapsules is reduced, and the dose of the protease microcapsules is increased. As a result, the reduced dose of the complex enzyme microcapsules leads to a decrease in the antibacterial effect of the deodorizing / odor-removing scented booster beads, and the sensory score also decreases.

[0089] The difference between Ratio Proportionality 6 and Example 1 is that the essence of Ratio Proportionality 6 is composed of 6 parts limonene. When the antibacterial effect was measured, it was found that the antibacterial effect decreased when the type of essence was changed.

[0090] The difference between Proportional Reaction 7 and Example 1 is that cellulase is not added to the enzyme preparation in Proportional Reaction 7. As a result, the antibacterial effect of the deodorizing / odor-removing scented booster beads is reduced to some extent. This is because cellulase can remove dirt more effectively by loosening the surface fibers of clothing.

[0091] The difference between Proportional Reaction 8 and Example 1 is that phosphodiesterase (PDE) is not added to the enzyme preparation of Proportional Reaction 8. As a result, the sensory score decreases significantly. In other words, phosphodiesterase can effectively remove dirt containing phosphodiesterase binding.

[0092] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, these embodiments are merely illustrative examples of the present invention, and therefore the present invention is not limited to the configurations of the embodiments described above. Persons skilled in the art may make changes, improvements, substitutions, etc., to the design without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and such changes will naturally still be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
