Green development continues to promote the rapid development of household chemical enzymes
The development of modern chemistry
Enzymes are proteins or RNAs that are produced by living cells and are highly specific and highly catalytic for their substrates. The catalysis of an enzyme depends on the integrity of the primary structure and spatial structure of the enzyme molecule. If the enzyme molecule is denatured or the subunits are depolymerized, the enzyme activity can be lost. Enzymes are biological macromolecules with a molecular mass of at least 10,000 and up to one million. They are an extremely important type of biocatalyst. They dominate biological metabolism, nutrition and energy conversion and many other catalytic processes
Analysis of the status quo and prospect forecast of the household chemical enzyme industry
Enzymes are widely used in people's lives, so the extraction and integration of enzymes has become an important research topic. Currently, enzymes can be extracted from organisms, such as bromelain, which can be extracted from pineapple peel. However, due to the low enzyme content in microorganisms, it cannot meet the needs of production. A large number of industrial enzymes are produced through microbial fermentation
Adding enzymes to certain household chemicals can often get very good results. For example, adding a proper amount of enzymes to the washing powder can greatly improve the efficiency of the washing powder, so that the sweat stains that are not easy to remove can be easily removed and have no effect on the human body. Harm and will not pollute the environment. At present, the main application scenarios of household chemical enzymes include: laundry products, automatic dishwashing agents, and detergents. As of 2020, laundry products accounted for 40.94% of the global household chemical enzyme market share, ranking first; automatic dishwashing agent accounted for 28.20% of the global household chemical enzyme market share, ranking second. Take washing powder as an example. In actual production and application, the main components of washing powder are: fabric fiber antiscalant, anionic surfactant, non-ionic surfactant, water softener, dirt suspension agent, enzyme, fluorescent agent and perfume, etc.; Poor laundry detergents often contain harmful ingredients such as phosphorus, aluminum, and alkali. In some developed countries, phosphorus and aluminum bases, especially phosphorus, have been banned from being used in washing powder. Enzymes have a longer history of development in developed countries, and the technology is relatively more complete. Many household chemicals have been added. Corresponding enzymes are used to increase product performance and discard traditional surfactants that are relatively harmful to the human body. This is also the development direction of major developing regions and relatively backward regions. As of 2020, the market share of household chemical enzyme industry in Europe is 31.55%, ranking first; the market share of household chemical enzyme industry in North America is 37.55%, ranking second.

There are many types of enzymes and a wide range of applications. Humans and mammals contain about 5,000 enzymes. According to the nature of the reaction catalyzed by the enzymes, people divide the enzymes into six categories: oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, and isomerases. Class, synthetic enzyme class. In addition to the application in the household chemical industry, enzymes can be seen in clinical treatment
The impact of COVID-19 on the household chemicals industry
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, the virus has spread to all parts of the world, spreading widely, causing great harm to the global economy, and the impact of the epidemic varies from industry to industry. During the epidemic, governments of various countries have introduced a series of measures such as extending holidays and delaying operations to control the flow of people and reduce the occurrence of cross-infection. Many companies cannot carry out normal production and operation. However, it is expected that the impact of COVID-19 on the swimming pool filtration industry in North America is only temporary. After the epidemic is restored, it will continue to show its vitality for development.
