Enzyme processing of wool fabrics in a non‐ionic surfactant reverse micellar system

Abstract: Modification of wool fabrics with an enzyme in a reverse micellar system has been investigated using polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate as a surfactant. The protease, Bioprase 30L, used in this study was satisfactorily solubilized in the reverse micellar system and maintained its activity even in an organic media. Modification of wool fabrics with Bioprase 30L was evaluated by the fabric's weight loss, measurement of tear strength, scanning electron microscopy, and measurement of shrinkage. Effective modificat… Show more

“…Micelles and reverse micelles are nowadays used to prepare nanoparticles of coinage metals such as copper, silver and gold which have strong catalytic effect on different reactions [10,11]. The fact that surface catalyzed reactions are comparable to the enzyme catalyzed reactions has drawn interests of many researchers in this direction [12,13]. The similar nature of these two types of reactions is mainly based on their similar structure containing hydrophobic core as well as polar group [12].…”

“…The fact that surface catalyzed reactions are comparable to the enzyme catalyzed reactions has drawn interests of many researchers in this direction [12,13]. The similar nature of these two types of reactions is mainly based on their similar structure containing hydrophobic core as well as polar group [12]. Micelles are often found to catalyze or inhibit the rates of different chemical reactions owing to electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions [14].…”

“…In the former case, textile processing of poly(lactic acid) fibers is beginning to be investigated in recent years [5e7]. Our previous reports also discussed the possibility of enzyme processing of poly(lactic acid) fibers [8]. In the latter case, on the other hand, there is only a little report about the possibility of dyeing poly(lactic acid) fibers with vat dyes [9].…”

“…Micelles can act as microreactors where the reactants are partitioned by means of electrostatic and/or hydrophobic interactions and thus modify the reaction rates and equilibria [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Micellar catalyzed reactions may be compared to those catalyzed by enzymes since the hydrophobic interactions within the micelle have some similarities with the complex reactions occurring in biological assemblies [10,11]. Both micelles and enzymes bind substrates in a noncovalent manner.…”
