How does Henkel use white biotechnology?
Henkel uses the “mini-factories” to produce an important component of laundry detergents and household cleaners: enzymes. These biologically active substances perform essential tasks in the microorganisms and in all living cells. They enable chemical reactions to take place between molecules or they accelerate these reactions. In laundry detergents enzymes are used to remove blood, cocoa or lipstick stains, for example. It is largely due to their special action that modern laundry detergents produce excellent results even at low temperatures and using very little water. Future technologies in the biosciences – for premium brands and powerful technologies. This film tells you more about microbiological and biotechnological research at Henkel.
