abstract = {The present work analyzes the effect of incorporating
a lipolytic enzyme (Lipolase® 100L) into detergent formulas
for washing fatty soils on hard surfaces. The experimental
device, which is called a “bath-substrate-flow” device, uses a
continuous flow on a substrate (glass spheres) soiled with triolein.
Washing tests were done using only the enzyme and
changing both its concentration and the temperature of the
process. The results showed that, in the presence of lipase, soil
removal was achieved through three consecutive mechanisms:
(i) fundamental removal of the soil by the bath flow through the
experimental device; (ii) emulsion of the soil in the washing
medium; and (iii) enzymatic hydrolysis of the dispersed soil. Different
commercial surfactants were used, and detergency was
evaluated in the absence and presence of lipase. The use of surfactant
formulas with the lipolytic enzyme showed a positive effect
of the enzyme on the detergency values registered with the
fatty alcohol ethoxylate surfactants Findet® 10/15 and Findet
1214N/23, and with the anionic surfactant linear alkylbenzene
sulfonate. The commercial surfactants Glucopon® 600, Glucopon
650, Findet 10/18, and Findet Q/21.5NF alone each presented
high detergency values for fatty soils, and the effect of
the incorporation of the lipase was not significant.},
