Editorial Reviews

A broad overview of the use of enzymes in household detergents from product development and manufacturing to safety and health issues. For proteases, lipases, cellulases, and amylases in heavy-duty detergents, and enzymes in detergents for automatic dishwashers, considers such aspects as structure-function relationships, life cycle analyses, protein engineering techniques, cleaning mechanisms, past and present applications, potential applications in the future, and market structure. For chemists and other scientists. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
