Abstract

For centuries the textile industries are wellknown for creating environmental pollution due to use of a large number of harsh, toxic chemicals. The use of enzymes in the textile chemical processing is rapidly gaining global recognition because of their nontoxic and ecofriendly characteristics. Enzymes can be utilized in various steps of textile processing, namely, desizing, scouring, bleaching, and biopolishing of cotton; degumming of silk; bleaching, and shrink-proofing of wool; biostoning (of denim); and for treatment of textile effluents. The use of enzymes ensures a reduction in global warming, saving in acidification, and nutrient enrichment.
