The existence of enzyme was reported since half of nineteenth century and was broadly used in various industrial processes. Due to its specific nature, it finds numerous applications in various fields. In the field of industrial enzymology, enzyme role in various processes in textile industry is swiftly growing on a huge scale. In textiles, they have been much preferred due to its biodegradable nature, non-toxicity and environment-friendliness. Degradation of lignin, degradation of hydrogen peroxides and bleaching textiles are the main focus areas in the textile industry that are enzyme-induced process. Popular and most frequently used biocatalyst in the textile industry is amylases, peroxidase, and catalase. Enzymes (biocatalysts) are budding in a huge way in the field of textile. There still is significant prospective for innovative and enhanced enzymes applications in potential textiles. The current review focuses the role of various enzymes and their applications in the fields of textiles.
