“…Glucose is oxidized to δ galactone by the cofactor of glucose oxidase (flavin adenine dinucleotide, FAD), which in turn reduces to its hydride form (FADH 2 ). Subsequently, oxygen present in the reaction system is reduced to hydrogen peroxide while FADH 2 is reoxidized to FAD 8, 9. Attempts have been made to utilize the spent‐desize bath for bleaching using immobilized glucose oxidase enzyme in the aerated systems 10, 11.…”

Bacterial a amylases, widely used in the desizing of the gray cotton fabrics, convert the starch present in the warp yarns into glucose, a reducing sugar. An attempt has been made to convert the glucose released by amylases in the desizing process into hydrogen peroxide using glucose oxidase enzymes and use the hydrogen peroxide for bleaching of cotton fabrics, in a single step. Conversion of glucose, into hydrogen peroxide, is influenced by aeration of the reaction bath and concentration of the glucose oxidase. Significant improvement in the whiteness and absorbency, reduction in the extractable impurities and clear surface morphology were also observed in the samples obtained from the one-step process.
