Why washing powder contain digestive enzymes?
People have been experimenting with ways to use the power of enzymes to clean clothing for a long time because stains are made of different types of molecules, a range of enzymes are needed to break them down. Proteases break down proteins, so are good for blood, egg, gravy, and other protein stains. Amylases break down starches; and lipases break down fats and grease. Washing powders usually only contain one type of enzyme, though some have two or all three. These enzymes degrade or break up large molecules such as fats, producing simpler substances that tend to be easier to dissolve in water (and thus, wash away).!
