Enzymatic detergent composition and method for degrading and removing bacterial cellulose

摘要

This invention relates to an enzymatic detergent drain cleaner composition comprising: about 0.005% to about 20% by weight of an acid lipase having hydrolytic activity to ester bonds, specific to glyceride linkages; about 0.005% to about 20% by weight of an acid cellulase enzyme having hydrolytic activity specific to beta -glucosidic bonds; about 1-70 wt % of a water soluble carbonate salt; about 1-70 wt % of a water soluble acid that reacts in an aqueous medium with the carbonate salt to form carbon dioxide that dissolves in the aqueous medium; about 0.1-10 wt % of a surfactant; and about 0.05-5 wt % of a thickening agent. This detergent composition may be used as an enzymatic detergent drain cleaner or in a method for removing or preventing bacterial cellulose and glyceride deposits in an aqueous system.
