Example 3
Multiple enzyme compositions comprising a cellulase were evaluated to determine sugar snake degradation performance as a baseline without potential surfactant synergy to assess the role of the enzyme composition versus improvement based on surfactant synergy. Compositions were prepared with 0.5 wt. % enzyme composition, 1.7 wt. % sodium citrate buffer, and water at a pH of 4.25. The four enzyme compositions tested were obtained from Novozymes and included: DRAIN EASE FLOW, CELLUCLEAN CLASSIC 700T, CELLUCLAST CONCENTRATED BG, and Cellulase C. A sugar snake of equal mass was measured and the cleaning compositions were applied to it. The percent degradation of the sugar snake (based on mass) was evaluated after 2 hours of contact and after 24 hours of contact. The percent degradation is shown in
