Question

Which one is not added in detergents?
A. Amylase
B. Protease
C. Peptidase
D. Cellulase

Answer 1

Hint: Detergent is a surfactant or mixed surfactant which is used for cleaning things. Detergents are either a liquid or solid type material. Detergents are classified based on the head group by nonionic, anionic, cationic and zwitterionic. Natural detergents are harmless products for the human body. For example soap nuts and soap pods. Detergents are the ammonium or alkyl benzene carboxylic acids. It pollutes water and soil because it contains more chemicals.

Complete answer:
Option A Amylase: Detergent contains alpha amylase enzyme and also contains bleach and fragrance. Amylase is used as the end user of the detergent. Amylase is good for clothes which contain cellulosic fibers. It is used to digest the starch strains in the clothes.
Option A is the incorrect answer.
Option B Protease: Protease stays in a high temperature range. It is used to break the protein chain stains in the cloth. It is used to treat stains caused by the milk and blood. This stain is called a super molecule stain.
Option B is the incorrect answer.
Option C Peptidase: Salt stable peptidase is used as a biocatalyst in laundry. Peptidase is the enzyme which hydrolyzes proteins so it is not used in the detergent.
Option C is the correct answer.
Option D Cellulase: Cellulase is produced by cellulase modification. High alkaline cellulose is used in the detergent. Cellulase is used to make white clothes whiter and color clothes to be more colorful and softer.
Option D is incorrect.

So, Option C is the correct answer.

Note:
Enzymes act as the catalyzer between the water molecule and stains. So the stain will be removed easily, increasing the efficiency of the Cleaning by detergent. As the name implies, protease breaks the protein type of stains, amylase breaks the stain produced by starch and lipase breaks the stain produced by egg and grease. These are eco-friendly enzymes used for cleaning purposes. The enzymes in the detergent are in the human body so it is called a biological laundry detergent.
