Bio-scouring of cotton fabric with pectinase combined with natural surfactant from soapnut
Abstract
Cotton fabrics were bio-scoured by using pectinase combined with natural surfactant (soapnut extract)/commercial soap (Premasol jet) in alkaline solution. Pectinase was produced from Colletotrichum capsici infected chili, cultivated in different media, its activity was analyzed. Two steps were adopted for cotton fabrics scouring, firstly a solution containing soapnut extract or a commercial surfactant was used to remove the wax from cotton fabrics. In the second step to remove pectin, the cotton fabrics were further bio-scoured treated in the solution containing pectinase from a culture medium. Activity of pectinase was varied depended on type of medium and cultivation time. The soapnut extract resulted in high water absorbency fabric and the result was comparable to that of the Premasol jet treatment. The combination of pectinase and soapnut extract gave scoured fabrics with a high whiteness index. However, the breaking force of the scoured fabrics seemed to be slightly lower.References
