“…Lipase worked at a pH of 4.2, temperature of 50°C and time 90 min while for cutinase the optimum reaction conditions were pH-9.0, temperature 50°C. Both the enzyme reactions reduced the water contact angle significantly [42].…”

Poly (ethylene terephthalate) fibre [PET] is the commonly used fibre for majority of end-use applications, however, the desire for improved textile properties such as wettability or hydrophilicity are increasing. Biotechnology can be defined as the application of scientific and engineering to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and services. The environmental issues associated with the textile processing are not new. Currently and in the years to come, besides lower cost of operation, improved durability, wear comfort and development of new attributes for textiles, the new criteria for judging the new processes is ecology. This paves the way for biotechnology. This article throws light on the applications of enzymes for the treatment of polyester fabrics.

“…The treatment conditions of cutinase on cotton/polyester blend fabrics were pH of 9.0, temperature of 50 o C, cutinase concentration of 100% (o.w.f. ), and treatment time of 60 min (Lee & Song, 2010;Lee et al, 2009). The treatment conditions of lipase on cotton/polyester blend fabrics were pH of 4.2, temperature of 50 o C, lipase concentration of 100% (o.w.f.…”

“…Cotton/polyester blend fabrics were treated with lipase and cutinase at 150 rpm using a shaking water bath (BS-21, Jeio Tech., Korea). The concentration of activators such as calcium chloride and Triton X-100 was determined based on the previous works (Lee & Song, 2010;Lee et al, 2008Lee et al, , 2009. From studies, the most efficient range calcium chloride was used over the concentration range 5 and 10 mM for lipase treatment, and 50 to 70 mM for cutinase treatment which are the most efficient ranges from the previous studies.…”

“…One of the most popular methods is an enzymatic treatment with four primary advantages: (1) it reduces water pollution because enzymes react at pH levels close to neutral; (2) it reduces fiber damage because the enzymes react with specific substrates; (3) it reduces the reaction time because of increased reaction rate; and (4) it saves energy because the enzymes react at low temperatures (40-60 o C) (Lee & Song, 2010;Lee et al, 2008Lee et al, , 2009. With these advantages, enzymatic processing have been applied to the textile industry especially natural fibers as shown in <Table 1>.…”

This study examined the use of cutinase and lipase to process cotton/polyester blend fabric. Optimum treatment conditions for cutinase and lipase were investigated for cotton/polyester blend fabric. The properties of enzyme-treated fabrics were evaluated and compared in optimal treatment conditions. In addition, the possibility to provide an enzymatic finishing on blend fabrics using mixed enzymes in a two-step process were studied. The weight loss of cotton/polyester blend fabrics with Triton X-100 was 0.8% and the dyeing property of blend fabrics with calcium chloride increased by a factor of 1.2. The use of two enzymes in combination with cutinase and lipase in the presence of auxiliaries resulted in a cotton/polyester blend fabric weight loss of 0.8%. In addition, the dyeing properties of cotton/polyester blend fabrics improved by a factor of 1.5 and the moisture regain of cotton/polyester blend fabrics improved by a factor of 1.16. However, no marked loss was observed in tensile strength. The surface morphology of cotton/polyester blend fabrics is modified through a two-enzyme treatment. The treatment of cotton/polyester blend fabrics with cutinase and lipase maintains cotton strength and improves the moisture regain of polyester fabrics.
