Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the enhancement and stabilisation of the proteolytic activity of proteases, methods for producing compositions comprising proteases with proteolytic activity that has been enhanced and stabilised, compositions comprising proteases with proteolytic activity that has been enhanced and stabilised obtained or obtainable by the aforementioned methods, use of such compositions in the manufacture of medicaments and cosmetics, the use of such compositions in the treatment of diseases and disorders including wounds, and in cosmetic applications, and associated kits.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising Carica papaya derived serine protease, methods of extracting the protease from fruit sources as well as cosmetic and therapeutic uses thereof, and associated kits.

Abstract: The present invention describes methods of treating cellulosic materials with a composition that provides increased hydrophobicity to such materials without sacrificing the biodegradability thereof. The methods as disclosed provide for esterification of available hydroxyl groups on cellulosic materials, where such hydroxyl groups are “masked” by bulky organic chains, including that the disclosure provides products made by such methods. The materials thus treated display higher hydrophobicity, barrier function, and mechanical properties, and may be used in any application where such features are desired.

Abstract: Liquid aqueous bleaching compositions are disclosed which comprise a pH buffering means with low sensitivity to water hardness and an alkali metal hypochlorite. A method of treating fabrics with said compositions is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for the manufacture of liquid aqueous bleaching compositions comprising hypochlorite, a strong source of alkalinity and water, said process comprising the steps of: mixing said alkali metal hypochlorite, said strong source of alkalinity and said water, adding a precipitating agent, or mixtures thereof; and thereafter separating the precipitates formed from said composition. The compositions provided by the process according the present invention are substantially free of heavy metal ions, thereby providing improved whiteness performance and/or fabric safety performance.
