Enzymes are catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions occurring in a variety of biological processes including digestion and growth. In the detergent industry, commercial enzymes are used to provide a higher degree of stain removal, whiteness, fabric and colour care and overall cleaning performance.

Detergent enzymes are biological enzymes that are used with detergents. They catalyze the reaction between stains and the water solution, thus aiding stain removal and improving efficiency.Laundry detergent enzymes are the largest application of industrial enzymes
