Enzymes for the Starch Processing, Textiles, Pharmaceutical, Detergent and Leather Industries
Enzymes for Industrial Applications
Starch-Processing Industries
Specialty Enzymes’ SEBstar-HTL and SEBamyl-BAL are blends used in the starch-liquefaction process for production of maltodextrins that are used in paperboard adhesives, paper sizing and in the manufacture of syrup-sweeteners.
Fungal alpha-amylase SEBamyl-L is used to saccharify low-DE, starch hydrolyzates in the production of crystalline maltose, low-DE maltose syrups and high-conversion, mixed maltose/glucose syrups. These stable sugar-syrups resist crystallization. They are also widely used as sweeteners in the beverage and food industries and as a source of fermentable sugars in the brewing and fermentation industries.
Detergents
Specialty Enzymes products, SEBrite-BP are a range of alkaline proteases that when added to surfactant-containing liquid and powder laundry detergents or pre-spotters, enhance the removal of protein-containing stains such as milk, egg, soya, blood, grass and body fluids of human origin. The use of Specialty Enzymes detergent alpha-amylases enzymes such as SEBrite-BA and SEBrite-A in liquid and powder laundry detergents solubilizes starch-containing stains such as baby food, spaghetti, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, gravy, chocolate, tomato sauce and other starch thickened foods.
To enhance stain removal, brighten the color, and soften cotton and cotton-containing garments, Specialty Enzymes offers a laundry-detergent compatible cellulase enzyme, SEBrite-COLOR. SEBrite-COLOR, effectively removes cotton cellulose microfibrils on wear and wash-damaged cotton garments. Repeated washing of cotton-containing garments with a laundry detergent containing SEBrite-COLOR, improves soil removal, brightens fabric color, softens and restores original garment appearance.
Specialty Enzymes' protease and amylase enzymes, SEBalase-BP and SEBrite-BA can be used cost-effectively to improve the wash performance of reduced-pH, low temperature industrial and institutional laundry detergents used to remove blood, body fluids, organic material and food soils from hospital, restaurant and slaughterhouse textiles.
Specialty Enzymes protease enzymes SEB-Prolase P or SEBalase-PB, carbohydrase enzyme, CelluSEB-T, alpha-amylase enzyme SEBamyl-B, Spectinase enzyme, ExtractSEB-R and lipase enzyme, SEBrite-L can be used to effectively clean filter membranes fouled with protein, starches, fats, gums, cellulose and pectin residues.
Leather
Specialty Enzymes’ SEBsoak product, used during the soaking process, removes unwanted parts of hides and skins, provides an uniform soaking effect, speeds up the soaking process and better re-hydrates hides previously soaked in brine.
SEBlime is a blend that loosens hair from the corium layer of the skin, making hair removal easy. This method is faster, safer and more convenient than the method using sulphide. SEBlime offers eco-friendly, biodegradable, sulfide-free liming. It has optimum swell regulating properties, which result in excellent grain smoothness.
SEBbate Acid improves the hide’s pliability and makes the grain smoother and more uniform for fabrication and dyeing. SEBbate Alkali helps stabilize the hide by ensuring the removal of all non-leather forming proteious matter.
Paper and Pulp
Specialty Enzymes’ SEBrite-BB is custom made for bleach boosting in paper/wood pulping applications. It reduces pulp bleaching chemical consumption and effectively boosts the performance of kraft pulp bleaching systems.
Personal Care
Our special combinations of enzymes like SEBCareHR 413 L, SEBCareHR 413 P, SEBCareHR 414 L and SEBCareHR 414 P can be used to remove contaminants like dust, dead cells, and excessive oil, which often clog the hair follicle openings. Using our special blends in hair care formulations can clean the scalp, thereby increasing blood circulation, and leading to healthy keratin formation and less hair loss.
Specialty Enzymes offers SEBCareOR 115L, which can be added to oral care products to break down excessive sugar in the mouth, thus preventing tooth decay, odor and discoloration. Specialty Enzymes also has proteolytic enzyme blends to break down the protein build up on teeth and gums - SEBCareOR 104 B, SEBCareOR 114 L and SEBCareOR 114 P. These are special blends of proteolytic enzymes, which can be used to prevent plaque development on teeth and gums and help whiten teeth.
Our proteolytic enzyme blends like SoftSEB-SK 3131 L, SoftSEB-SK 3131 P, SoftSEB-SK 320 L and SoftSEB-SK 320 P, further help in this process by breaking down the keratin in dead cells, thus gently peeling off the dead outer layer without damaging the inner living cells. Our other blends, like SEBCareSK 309 L, are used in skin care products to remove excessive oil on skin, leaving it non-oily, soft and silky.
Pharmaceutical
Specialty Enzymes’ bacterial blend Peptizyme SP is being used as a highly effective alternative to antibiotics in many countries. It treats inflammatory disorders, by not only fighting inflammation, but also relieving pain and swelling, improving recovery time and stimulating the immune system. Peptizyme SP has a "scavenging" effect. It helps chelate the heavy metals through which the body release toxins, and hence modulates the immune system, addresses hormonal imbalances and speeds wound and tissue repair time.
Textiles
Specialty Enzymes’ biopolishers, such as Denisoft and Denistone PW help manufacturers achieve a permanent soft feel, increased absorbency and cool breathing nature of the fabric. More and more manufacturers are reducing the use of chemicals, like cationic softeners and silicones, and opting for enzyme-based biopolishing agents, particularly due to their ability to obtain permanent softness.
