Reactive dye hydrolysates

Another approach for removing reactive dye hydrolysates from the fibre and from the wash water (decolourised waste water) is the use of peroxidases (oxidative active enzymes such as Baylase RP). This multipurpose enzymatic rinse process saves time, energy and water but it is restricted mainly to jet applications. The question of the potential toxicity of the resulting aromatic nitro-compounds (cleavage products of the reactive azoic dyes) has to be resolved.
