Odorite™ Ultra Liquid Laundry Detergent is powered by combination of six liquid enzymes: Protease, Amylase, Cellulase, Lipase, Pectate
Lyase, Disubstituted Alaninamide and Mannanase. These enzymes are an eco-friendly solution that has been combined to improve the
cleaning efficiency of professional, industrial and domestic laundry. Today, only some of these enzymes are staple ingredients in powder and
liquid detergents, stain removers, laundry pre-spotters, automatic dishwashing detergents and industrial/medical instrument cleaning
products.
Designed by nature to digest protein, carbohydrates, fats and cellulose, enzymes make cleaning easier without compromising the
environment. Environmental regulations and consumer concerns are putting pressure on the entire detergent value chain to offer
more environmentally friendly detergents to the market. The environmental impact of doing laundry in South Africa is primarily
affected by the raw materials used to manufacture detergents and, more importantly, the temperature used in washing machines
by comparison to available electrical supply and cost.
The development of the enzyme solution allows us to reduce the environmental impact of our detergent by reducing traditional chemicals
such as surfactants with a multi-enzyme solution. This can be done without compromising performance or cost, while at the same time
allowing for good cleaning performance at low wash temperatures. Enzymes are natural substances that are efficient at low concentrations,
readily degradable in the environment and most importantly, perform well at low wash temperatures. Thus, our laundry liquid detergent with
six enzymes makes for a more sustainable and attractive product.
The cost-neutral replacement of surfactants with enzymes in a standard laundry detergent allows for a reduction of laundry wash
temperatures and toxicity impact on water bodies without compromising the total wash performance. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of Enzyme
use in detergents has been shown to reduce the environmental impact by reducing use of surfactants, phosphates and consumption of
energy used to heat wash water.
