Enzymatic removal of burnt-on protein residues from solid surface: A potential food equipment cleanser

Analysis of Glycans in a Burnt-On/Baked-On (Bobo) Model Food Soil Using Microarray Polymer Profiling (Mapp) and Immunofluorescence Microscopy

“…The removal of BoBo is not trivial and considerable economic and environmental gains could result from the development of safe and effective cleaning solutions. BoBo can be degraded by extensive mechanical scrubbing and intermittent soaking at high temperatures, however currently the only successful chemical method of removal is treatment with hot alkaline/acid washes (Sen et al, 2014). Potential appliance corrosion and the associated environmental impacts make this method unsuitable for automatic dishwashing (ADW) applications.…”
