The current time is an era for quality and competitiveness which sets a question mark of how to cater for the changing trends of the world. Innovations are the major attributes to attract the stronger customer base and thus place a company in a dominant position within the industry. This was the primary reason for creating the fading effect on denim. The enzyme system used was Denilite 11 ™, and Voluomax by Novozymes which is a class of Laccase and cellulase en^es.
