EU - BIOSEAL - Development of biotechnology derived alternatives for sustainable detergents and innovative strategies of using sustainable ingredients by encapsulation and surfactants structuring

Within Bioseal - a part of the Marie Curie programme - the potential of different enzymes and biosurfactants with focus on novel enzymes, especially bleaching enzymes like lipoxygenases, hydrolases like carbohydrases and cellulases, transferases for the synthesis of biosurfactants, and detergent formulation with performance measurement and impact on textiles and fabrics in laundry processes will be investigated. Furthermore an encapsulation and surfactant structuring technology will be developed in order to help stabilising and manufacturing active ingredients in bleach and detergents with low pH and low surfactant levels and with high pH and high surfactant levels.
