The present invention relates to a process wherein one or more dye precursors, e.g., indole, are provided to a textile and converted by one or more enzymes, e.g., an oxidizing enzyme, to provide the textile with a dye, e.g. indigo. At least the oxidizing enzyme is a hybrid enzyme including a binding domain that is suitable to bind the enzyme to the textile and/or increase the affinity of the enzyme for the textile, in particular, a cellulose binding domain (CBD).

A damage process for a textile product may include, but is not limited to, irradiating a laser beam onto a surface region of a textile product which is dyed, to burn the surface region, exposing the textile product to an ozone gas; and agitating the textile product together with at least one of: pieces of one or more solid materials having uneven surfaces and one or more abrasives of artificial fibers to allow the surface region to be shaved by the at least one of: the pieces of one or more solid materials and the one or more abrasives of artificial fibers. One or more subsequent processes can be carried out, without dipping the textile product into water or a liquid of chemicals, after agitating the textile product and until softening the textile product.

The present disclosure relates to a biofinishing system comprising a combination of cellulases, in particular a biofinishing system comprising a combination of GH45 cellulases. The present disclosure further relates to a process for treating a cellulose-containing textile comprising biofinishing the cellulose-containing textile with a combination of GH45 cellulases.

A color hazing or decoloring agent including at least one compound selected from compounds represented by formula (1) and compounds represented by formula (2), and used for color hazing or decoloring of a fabric printed or dyed with a disperse dye:

R.sup.1OOCXCOOR.sup.2(1)

Y.sup.1O-(AO).sub.nY.sup.2(2) wherein, in formula (1), X is an alkylene or alkenylene group of 2 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sup.1 is an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R.sup.2 is an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and in formula (2), AO is an alkyleneoxy group of 2 to 3 carbon atoms, n is an integer of 1 to 3, Y.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom or an R.sup.3CO group, R.sup.3 is an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, Y.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom or an R.sup.4CO group, and R.sup.4 is an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

A novel composition for decolorizing a dye is provided.

A composition for decolorizing a dye contains a multicopper oxidase and an iodide ion.

Laser finishing of apparel products allows an operating model that reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduce product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Improved aspects include design, development, planning, merchandising, selling, making, and delivering. The model uses fabric templates, each of which can be used to produce a multitude of laser finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.
