The effectiveness of modern detergents relies heavily on their ability to tackle a wide array of stains, from greasy food residues to grass marks and, perhaps most challenging, blood. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we understand the intricate science behind stain removal and are committed to providing enzymatic solutions that offer superior cleaning performance. Alkaline proteases, in particular, play a crucial role in this regard.

Proteases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of proteins, breaking them down into smaller peptides and amino acids. Proteins are a common component of many stubborn stains, including blood, sweat, milk, egg, and grass. When a stained fabric is introduced to a detergent containing active proteases, these enzymes act like microscopic scissors, precisely cleaving the peptide bonds within the protein molecules of the stain.

This enzymatic action breaks down the large, insoluble protein molecules into smaller, soluble fragments. These soluble fragments can then be more easily washed away by the detergent's surfactants and the mechanical action of washing. The specificity of proteases means they target protein stains without harming the fabric fibers themselves, which is a significant advantage over harsh chemical treatments.

Our research has focused on developing alkaline proteases, such as the one derived from Bacillus paramycoides, that exhibit remarkable efficacy in stain removal. These enzymes are optimized to function optimally in the alkaline pH range typically found in laundry detergents and at washing temperatures. Their thermostability ensures that they remain active even in warm water washes, further enhancing their stain-fighting power.

The direct application of these proteases in stain removal experiments has shown impressive results. For instance, our alkaline protease, when combined with detergent, demonstrated a significant improvement in the removal of bloodstains compared to detergents alone. This ability to effectively break down proteinaceous matter makes alkaline proteases indispensable components in high-performance laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and even specialized industrial cleaning agents.

At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are proud to contribute to the development of cleaner and more sustainable living through advanced enzyme technology. By understanding and harnessing the power of proteases, we enable our partners in the detergent industry to offer products that deliver exceptional cleaning results while being kinder to the environment.
