Stability of the crude enzyme in the presence of various commercial solid (a) and liquid detergents (b). CE was incubated in each detergent mentioned for 1 h at different temperatures (30–50°C), and the remaining activities were determined under standard conditions. The enzyme activity of a control, incubated under similar conditions without detergent, was taken as 100%.
