Garbage enzymes for application in textile pretreatment processes / Rozita Abdul Rahman

The uses of enzymes in textile treatment have been proven beneficial and are gaining a foothold and improved application processes are developed. In this study, the potentials of using garbage enzymes in pre-treatment of grey cotton were explored and the results were compared to those of the conventional pre-treatment processes. The results indicated that conventional scouring and bleaching are still better choice as pretreatments for greige cotton. Nevertheless treatments using garbage enzymes at 100°C for 1 hour showed some potentials that can be further explored since some of the findings indicate comparable results.
