Question

Which of the following enzymes are used for manufacturing detergents?

• A. Proteases
• B. Glucoamylases
• C. Amylases
• D. Lactases

Answer 1

The correct option is A Proteases

Enzymes act as catalyzers and speeds up the reaction. The use of enzymes in the detergents curtails the effort of agitation and allows lower temperatures to be employed. Enzyme detergents remove protein from clothes soiled with blood, milk, sweat, grass, etc. far more effectively than non-enzyme detergents. The enzymes used are all produced using species of Bacillus which produce proteases.

So, the correct answer is option A.
