Enzymatic compositions and methods for producing stonewashed look on indigo-dyed denim fabric

During the desizing and enzymatic stonewashing of denim fabric and/or garments, redeposition of blue color often occurs back onto the surfaces of the denim. The invention relates to a redepositing or backstain inhibiting composition and a method inquiring the inclusion of an added protease prior to, during or subsequent to the stonewashing process which reduces the redeposition of the blue dye and hence improves the stonewashing process when using redepositing or backstaining cellulases to give an appearance closer to that when using stones alone or nonredepositing cellulases in the stonewashing process.

Method of creating a stonewashed appearance in wet-processed fabrics

A method of treating dyed cellulosic fabric to create a stonewashed appearance by contacting the fabric with a water-based composition having an acidic pH and including at least one cellulase enzyme having optimum activity in an acidic medium and a dye redeposition inhibiting additive selected from the group consisting of natural and synthetic inorganic silicates, polyalkylene oxide polymers, acrylic polymers, and natural, synthetic and semisynthetic polysaccharides. The fabric is preferably indigo-dyed and may be in unsewn form or in the form of a garment or other article composed of sewn fabric.

Oxidation and/or bleaching system, generates reactive oxidant and nitrogen compounds, comprises special precursor and forms oxidative radicals and other oxidative compounds

Oxidation and/or bleaching system comprising a component generating an enzymatic peroxide, superoxide or other reactive oxidant species (ROS), slowly and continuously, a further component generating reactive nitrogen compounds (RNS), e.g. containing NO radical or active di-imide, which are released slowly and continuously and a special precursor component, is new. Oxidation and/or bleaching system comprises a component generating an enzymatic peroxide, superoxide or other reactive oxidant species (ROS), slowly and continuously, a further component generating reactive nitrogen compounds (RNS), e.g. containing NO radical or active di-imide, which are released slowly and continuously and a special precursor component is included. This is formed either enzymatically or is a component reacting with or oxidized by the first or second component. A third component comprises specific ions or other reactive compounds. It forms the actual oxidants as oxidative radicals and other oxidative compounds, organic or inorganic, by its reaction with the other components.

Novel alkaline cellulases

Cellulases selected from the group consisting of Family 7 cellulases and variants of these cellulases comprising a core and optionally a C-terminal link consisting of 10 amino acids at the most, especially cellulases having tryptophan, tyrosine or phenylalanine in position 55 relative to the sequence alignment of Figure 5 and/or cellulases having a substrate binding cleft of a depth of at least 12 .ANG., exhibit enhanced enzyme activity in the alkaline pH range while exerting a moderate cellulolytic action on the cellulosic substrate and are, for example, useful in detergent compositions, especially for soil removal or colour clarification or preventing backtaining; in fabric softeners; for bio-polishing of textiles; for drainage improvement of paper pulp; for plant degradation. Cellulases from Humicola insolens, Fusarium oxysporum, Trichoderma reesei and Myceliophthora thermophile are referred to.

Imparting aged and faded appearance to cotton textiles - esp. blue denim, by washing in presence of pumice and calcium cpd.

Method for giving a faded and aged appearance to cotton textiles comprises first washing with hot water to eliminate finishing agents and then treating (in a rotating-drum washing machine) with pumice and lime or a calcium salt. The machine is then exptied and the materials subjected to a series of hot and/or cold water rinses. The rinses are carried out in presence of the pumice and also, for one rinse, of an acid. Pref. the first stage is at 80 deg.C for 10 min. and the machine is rotated at 50-150 rpm. For every 100 kg of textiles, 150-250 kg pumice, 30-100 kg lime or Ca salt and 140-300 l water are used. The method is esp. applied to denim. Treated garments are soft in to the tough and resemble those which have been aged/faded by normal extended wearing.

NOVEL ALKALINE CELLULASES

Process for oxidizing a substrate

"PROCESSO PARA OXIDAR UM SUBSTRATO" Esta invenção descreve um novo processo para deslignificar seletivamente materiais lignocelulósicos e para o alvejamento de polpas e corantes usando uma combinação de uma enzima oxidativa e de um complexo metálico. Mais especificamente, o processo envolve a oxidação de um complexo de redox de metal de transição por uma enzima que oxida fenol, tal que lacase ou peroxidase, para mediar a deslignificação catalítica de polpa mecânica e para o alvejamento de corante têxtil. Este processo é único pelo fato de que apenas uma quantidade catalítica do mediador do complexo metálico é requerida em polpa Kraft de madeira mole e de madeira dura, e pelo fato de que é possível a reciclagem ou regeneração do mediador para deslignificação de polpa posterior. O mediador de redox é caracterizado pelo fato de que ele contém um íon de metal de transição coordenado com moléculas ou íons, de tal modo que os complexos possuam um potencial de redox formal entre 0,5 e 1,2 volt, medido contra um eletrodo de hidrogênio normal.
