8 Conclusion
Microorganism mediated enzymes have major application in textile finishing.
Enzyme mediated finishing procedure is a way to establishment of greener textile.
From history it has been found that though in low scale but enzymes were used in
different stages of textile finishing. In this chapter use of different enzymes have been
discussed, like lipase and catalase in cotton processing, cellulase in bio-finishing and
biostoning of denim, protease in production of felt free woollen wear. In addition
with textile finishing in case of remediation of textile waste water even microorganism mediated enzymes are being used in large scale. Functional textile is future of
global apparel industry which faces both new challenges and opportunities. In order
to mitigate challenges researchers are using opportunities of enzyme immobilisation and nano-conjugates formation. This process has ability to increase the activity.
Patenting trends have also been discussed from which it is understood that enzymes
are used widely throughout the world though patents are mainly done from china,
then Europe followed by other countries. This result proves the extensive use of
enzymes in textile industry.
