Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9937283A1] The invention relates to a method and a product for cleaning of a person's body parts or objects coming into contact with said body parts. In oral hygiene products, cysteine proteinases have been shown to have a cleaning and whitening action on the teeth. However, tissues suffer damage from an extended action of cysteine proteinases. In this invention, natural human cysteine proteinases are employed for cleaning and whitening purposes and this activity can be blocked by natural cysteine proteinase inhibitors, which are released secondarily from the products at a later stage. According to the invention, to the hygiene product can be added the body's own cysteine proteinase and/or an agent activating said cysteine proteinase. The plain activating agent can also be used, because the activating agent activates the cysteine proteinase present in its biological environment. In particular, the use of natural cysteine proteinases and their inhibitors provides the advantage that they are man's own proteins, and therefore the risk of allergization is minimized. In addition, their enzyme kinetics is presently well known.
