...Huafeng Feng; Jipan Lou; Jinfang Zhang; Chen Liu Purpose This study aimed to develop an efficient and low-damage bio-polishing process for cotton fabric by optimizing a cellulase-additive compounding strategy. Design/methodology/approach Acidic and neutral cellulases were compared using...

... by alkaline pectinase enzymes. The obtained bio-scoured substrates were subject to bleaching with peracetic acid and proceeded for bio-polishing under a variety of conditions. Results show that the extent of bio-polishing depends on the conditions of the treatment. The loss in fabric weight exhibits values...
