| dc.description.abstract | Reduction in pollution and improvement in the fabric quality can be achieved using enzymatic treatment. Aspergillus niger isolated from distillery effluent spilled soil was selected for the study due to its maximum amylase activity. The optimum amylase activity was observed at the pH nine in glycine sodium hydroxide buffer at 60"C for 60 minutes and the enzyme was stable for the first two hours of incubation. A.niger utilized one per cent of starch for maximum amylase activity in medium supplemented with 5g NaCl. Calcium ions were found to activate the enzyme activity whereas mercury ions inhibited the activity to higher extent when compared to other ions. The enzyme was found to desize the fabric effectively. The visual inspection proved all sample to have good general appearance and better texture after enzyme treatment. Luster and whiteness did not show significant change after treatment. All the samples showed reduction in stiffness after desizing with enzymes. Hence, amylases can be explored in textile sector that requires a wide range of optimal conditions. | en_US |
