Abstract
This chapter discusses the manufacturing process of enzymes deals with the fermentation process in which enzymatic processes usually carried out with organism media production, Sterilization, Inoculation and down steam processing. Application of enzymes in detergents, paper, leather and food industries are outlined with commercial enzymes such as cellulase and proteases. The chapter then discusses the drawback of conventional textile wet processing and application of various types of enzymes in replacement of chemicals in wet processing treatments in textiles. This includes desizing, scouring, mercerization, bleaching and washing. For all these steps, the chemicals used are quite toxic. The various textile wet processing such as bio-singeing, bio-desizing, bioscouring, integrated bio-desizing and bio-scouring, bio-bleaching, peroxide killers, enzyme effect on color, bio-polishing, bio-carbonizing, degumming of silk, textile auxiliaries, decolorization of dye water effluent, finishing of cotton knits and denim washing have been outlined with use of enzymes such as alpha amylase, pectinase, protease, lipase, and cellulase.
