DecontaminationPregunta 24 de 100
An enzymatic cleaner label lists protease, lipase, and amylase. What does this combination indicate?
a.The product will disinfect as well as clean
b.The product is intended for use only in ultrasonic cleaners
c.The product can be used at any temperature without losing effectiveness
d.The product targets several soil types, breaking down protein, fat, and starch or carbohydrate residues
Explicación
Each enzyme acts on a specific substrate, so protease attacks protein such as blood and tissue, lipase attacks fatty deposits, and amylase attacks starches and carbohydrates. Enzymatic cleaners clean but do not disinfect or sterilize. They are used in sinks and mechanical equipment alike, and their activity is temperature dependent and destroyed by hot water.
