Enzymatic oxidation process

摘要

There is provided an enzymatic oxidation process wherein a substance which is to be oxidised is reacted with (a) an enzyme exhibiting peroxidase activity and a source of hydrogen peroxide or an enzyme exhibiting oxidase activity on phenolic compounds and (b) a compound which enhances the oxidation activity of the enzyme, characterized in that the compound specifically binds the substance which is to be oxidized. Furthermore, there is provided an enzymatic stain bleaching or anti dye-transfer composition comprising: (a) an enzyme exhibiting peroxidase activity and a source of hydrogen peroxide or an enzyme exhibiting oxidase activity on phenolic compounds and (b) a compound which enhances the oxidation activity of the enzyme and which is capable of binding selectively to a stain chromophore or textile dye in solution.
