A Life-Cycle Inventory (LCI) and Assessment (LCA) database for laundry detergents of the Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) was constructed using SimaPro software. The input data needed to conduct a product LCI came from several different, supporting databases to cover supplier (extraction and manufacturing of raw materials), manufacturing of the detergent product, transportation, packaging, use an...

In the wide field of laundry and cleaning applications, there is an unbroken need for novel detergent proteases excelling in high stability and activity and a suitable substrate range. We demonstrated the large amount of highly diverse subtilase sequences present in metagenomic DNA by recovering 57 non-redundant subtilase sequence tags with degenerate primers. Furthermore, an activity- as well ...

Enzymes, and particularly proteases, have become an important and indispensable part of industrial processes such as laundry detergents, pharmaceuticals and food products. Detergents such as Tide, Ariel and Biz contain proteolytic enzymes, most of them produced by members of the genus Bacillus. This paper describes the compatibility of protease produced by the thermophilic Bacillus sp, with com...

Very little is known empirically about customer loyalty to frequently-bought goods over the long term (e.g. over five years or more, or over hundreds of purchases). In this paper we first explore patterns of long-run loyalty in two very different markets; a consumer market – laundry detergents, and a more frequently-used quasi-industrial market – the prescribing of antihypertensive drugs. Secon...

The purpose of this research was to develop practical care procedures to help maintain the protective quality of flame resistant workwear laundered by workers in the field. Based on observed field conditions, experiments were conducted that simulated domestic laundry procedures. The first experiment involved two flame resistant (FR) fabrics, contaminated or not contaminated with oil. Independen...

Detergent wastewater has to be treated prevent water pollution, especially for the reclamation of large quantity laundry waste reuse. A detergent destruction method removes by using it breakdown activated sludge so as foaming when aerated in an SBR. Many research studies had reported methods and effects increasing reduction. close examination treat WHD agreed well with literature that disintegr...
