Abstract
In the present study, an attempt was made to treat cotton terry fabrics with
alkaline pectinase enzyme and observe the effects on the properties including the degree of whiteness, water absorbency, pill formation, weight loss
after abrasion, tenacity at maximum load, degree of polymerization (DP),
and hand feeling of the fabric. The enzymatic treatment of cotton terry
fabrics had a positive influence on some of their properties. The degree of
damage of cotton terry fabrics after 20 washings in a domestic washing
machine was determined by analyzing the tenacity at maximum load,
weight loss after abrasion, fabric hand feeling, and the DP. Enzymaticscoured fabrics had a higher resistance to abrasion, a lower decrease in
the DP, and a higher rating of the fabric hand feeling compared with
alkaline-scoured fabrics. Enzymatic processing was accompanied by a significant lower demand of energy and water. Consequently, at these processes arises the lowest amount of effluents and the produced wastewater
is biodegradable. This study attempted to introduce enzymatic scouring
(ES) and bleaching with peracetic acid (PAA) of the cotton terry fabrics.
