Evaluation of Uses of Some Enzymes in Removal of Plant Impurities from Raw Wool Fabrics

In this study, phytase from Bacillus megaterium EBD9-1 and cellulase from Bacillus subtilis 171ES obtained from isolated from different provinces soils, and commercial pectinase enzymes were investigated for the removal potential of plant impurities from raw wool fabrics. Enzymatic removal of plant impurities is usually carried out at pH 4.0. The efficiency of the enzyme was shown at pH 7.0, but the best effect was obtained with pH 4.0. Enzymes were effective alone, but the effects of double and triple enzyme mixtures on plant impurities were more. It was determined that the effect decreased in case the enzyme amount was used low, and the effect increased even more in the presence of the concentrated enzyme. With this study, which was carried out for the first time with local isolate, the operability of more environmentally friendly enzymes in carbonization processes traditionally performed with chemical substances was demonstrated.
