Abstract

S. Kothai

Enzyme Technology is an area of considerable interest and development. Enzymes are biological catalysts and have been used for many years as isolated agents particularly in the food industries. In the present work, lipase is coupled with the three detergents, and the efficiency of the detergents in the removal of dye colour has been investigated by acoustical studies. In order to determine the concentration of the enzyme at which the interactions are maximum, ultrasonic velocities and densities are measured for the aqueous solution of the three detergents, in the presence of lipase at various concentrations. Acoustical parameters and surface properties are calculated.
