Influences of different enzymatic treatment on denim garment.
In current study, the effects of different enzymatic treatment including acid cellulases, neutral cellulases, and combination of laccases with cellulases on denim garment were investigated. The color changes of different samples were compared by colorimetric indices for the garment surface and back and also white pocket. Abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and crease recovery angle of the samples were measured within the standard methods. Also, surfaces of the treated samples were observed by SEM. The results showed that the combination of laccases with cellulases help to improve the lightness and decrease staining on both back of garment and on white pocket.
