Revolutionizing Laundry - Mild Protease for Eco-Friendly and Stable Cold-Water Cleaning

As wash times and temperatures become shorter and cooler, the development of environmentally sustainable and efficacious laundry detergents is a critical goal for the detergent industry. A key concern today is that traditional laundry processes contribute significantly to CO2 emissions due to the energy required for heating water. One solution being implemented across the board is the increased adoption of enzymes as a cleaning agent in this category of household cleaning products. With the introduction of a mild protease, we can address key challenges such as cold-water performance and decarbonization in North American laundry. Mild proteases not only offer environmental benefits but also enhance the stability and efficacy of companion enzymes in multi-enzyme detergent formulations.

How can mild proteases advance the liquid laundry detergents to meet or exceed consumer expectations while delivering innovation to formulators? Mild proteases offer substantial cost savings by reducing the need for additional stabilizing agents, thanks to its inherent stability. This not only lowers formulation costs but also simplifies production, making it an attractive option for optimizing detergent formulations without compromising performance. Comparative studies indicate improvement in enzyme stability results in more robust and reliable detergents, especially in North American markets where compaction and concentration has increased the number of loads per package.
