| Abstract: | Bleaching effect of cotton fabrics using hydrogen peroxide produced by
glucose oxidase enzyme from Aspergillus
niger has been studied. It is observed that enzymes are highly active at
acidic pH under room temperature in
terms of peroxide release during the reaction. Incomplete conversion of glucose
by the enzyme results in discolouration of the reaction bath and the fabrics
under alkaline pH conditions. External
supply of oxygen and mechanical agitation during initial stage of reaction
influence the conversion of glucose into hydrogen peroxide and whiteness index
of bleached samples. |
