 Enzymatic destruction of peroxide
 Enzymes are bio-catalysts:
• Catalysts are chemical substances which accelerate reactions
without being used up.
• Enzymes are formed in the living organism. This natural production is
also used in a synthesis way, the enzymes are produced with fungi or
bacteria cultures on large scale.
• Advantage: completely biodegradable!
• Because of their cellular structure
the enzymes have a clear defined surface. +
• An enzyme has on the surface an enzyme substrate enzyme-substrate-complexe

active centre with an equal complementary centre.

• the enzymes work like a key-lock princip

The catalase accelerates the reaction but is not used up and will
be continuously efficient.
The catalase does not have any influence on the dyestuff, therefore it can
be dyed directly without intermediate rinsing process.

Dyeing Department Technical Weeks - 03.07. 02 Susanne Ehret 12

Detection and semiquantitative determination of peroxides
in aqueous solutions with test strips
Analytical test strips from Merck® contain peroxidase.
Peroxidase transfers oxygen from the peroxide to an organic redox
indicator, which is then converted to a blue-coloured oxidation
product.

Instructions for use:

Immerse the reaction zone in the solution for 1 sec.

Shake off excess liquid from the strip.
Compare with the colour scale (0.5-25 mg/l H 2O2)after
15 sec.

The appearance of any blue coloration within 3 min

can be interpreted as a positiv reaction.

Levelling agent for reactive dyes ?

 Levelling agents in the classical meaning are
not available for reactive dyeings.
 Reason for this is the reaction of the reactive
dye with the cellulosic fiber.
 Migration of already fixed dye molecules is not
possible ! This would be a chemical miracle.
