A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884955B2) discloses a process for solubilizing waste, specifically Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), using an enzyme composition. The process involves contacting the MSW with the enzyme composition, which includes a cellulolytic background composition comprising various enzymes such as cellobiohydrolase I, cellobiohydrolase II, beta-glucosidase, and a polypeptide with cellulolytic enhancing activity. Additionally, the enzyme composition may contain protease, lipase, beta-glucanase, pectate lyase, mannanase, and amylase at specific ratios. The patent also details the specific sources of these enzymes, such as Bacillus for protease, Thermomyces for lipase, and Aspergillus for beta-glucanase.

Furthermore, the patent outlines various claims related to the enzyme composition's components, ratios, and their sources. For instance, it specifies the presence of enzymes like pectate lyase, mannanase, and amylase in the composition. The patent also mentions the ratios at which these enzymes should be present in the composition to effectively solubilize the waste. Additionally, it provides details on the cellulolytic background composition's optimal ratio within the enzyme composition. The patent aims to offer a comprehensive and efficient process for waste solubilization using specific enzymes and their variants, enhancing the breakdown of MSW for potential industrial applications.
