Optimization of conditions for enzymatic pretreatment of cotton with cellulase enzyme

Sandeep Bains, Neelam Grewal

Abstract

Pure cotton fabric was pretreated with cellulase enzyme (Neutrox BDN 100 Powder) and the enzymatic conditions were optimized. These included pH of media 7, enzyme concentration 5% (o.w.f) and the treatment time of 75 minutes, optimized on the basis of effect of pre-treatment on physical properties. The cellulase treatment produces fabric which is more absorbent.
