| Summary: | Biotechnology is an ecological advantageous and moreover economically beneficial technology. The most established application of biotechnology in textiles has been in the field of enzymatic pretreatment. Glucose oxidase (GOD) catalyse the oxidation of b-D-glucose into gluconic acid by utilizing molecular oxygen as an electron acceptor with a simultaneous production of hydrogen peroxide (HP). Glucose oxidases are commercially gaining a lot of attention in textile technology. In an enzymatic pretreatment, the textile substrate is less damaged when compared to a classical pretreatment. Enzymatic pre-treatments of cellulose fabrics often save large amounts of raw materials, chemicals, energy and water. Bleaching with glucose oxidase thus represents an economic and ecological potential when compared to the classical process with added hydrogen peroxide. This review represents the basic properties and production of glucose oxidases and their applications in textile technology. |
