Definitions

  • the present invention concerns the use of enzymes capable for degrading cellulosic matrial, in particular the use of cellulases, for removing dust mite from textile surface.
  • Dust mites are acarids (atype of arachnid, such as spiders and scorpions) . They range in size between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm, live in all types of fibers, including carpets, clothing, fabric sofas, and bed sheets. In the past few decades it has become clear that dust mites are extremely allergenic and may trigger asthma and other allergy attacks. Attempts have been made to prevent contact with allergens by employing organic or inorganic miticides, cleaner, or ultraviolet rays. Specifically, US5672362A used disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT) solution to kill dust mites. WO9836640 disclosed a compositions containing benzyl benzoate and alcohol to control dust mites.
  • DOT disodium octaborate tetrahydrate
