The efficiency of the commercial proteolytic preparation ‘Alcalase’ in removing model proteins (casein, BSA and haemoglobin) experimentally burned onto a model solid surface (glass) was investigated. The cleaning efficiency was monitored qualitatively by direct observation and quantitatively by monitoring polypeptide/peptide/amino acid accumulation in the wash and by three-dimensional atomic force microscopy. The results indicate that treatment with enzyme at industrially realistic inclusion levels removes a very significant proportion of protein foulant and that post-cleaning residual enzyme activity on the glass surface can be easily removed or inactivated. Results are discussed in the context of their potential application in the bioprocess sector.
