Application of Enzymes in Textile Functional Finishing

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Functional Finishing of Textiles

Part of the book series: Textile Science and Clothing Technology ((TSCT))

Abstract

Textile is one of the strongest economic pillars of any developing country. There is increased demand of eco-friendly and comfortable wearer with improving quality, which comes due to advanced and environment friendly finishing. Enzymes plays important role in bio-processing of textile. Enzymes are there from nineteenth century but less than only two decades ago it was first used in textile processing. Enzymes increase the functionality by minimising the strength and effort. Chemical textile processing is already at hand from very first day, but that cause hazard. In place of that, enzymatic processing is bio-friendly, non-toxic, and trimming down the pollution rate generating due to textile processing. In addition with that, enzyme technology reduces the use of vast amount of water and causes the savings of most important part of ecosystem. Therefore, day by day enzymatic textile progression is getting worldwide appreciation to the manufacturers. Finishing is the process in textile manufacture which converts knitted clothes into functional materials. Predominant enzymes used in textile processing are cellulase, amylase, pectinase, catalase, laccase and many more. Enzymatic finishing includes UV shielding properties on clothes. Use of immobilized enzymes, enzymatic nanoparticles may cause a revolutionary change in textile trade. Enzyme assisted bio-processing has an immense role on increment of textile quality.
