Which type of enzymes are used to breakdown and remove heavy soil on instruments?

  1. Lipase Enzymes

  2. Protease Enzymes

  3. Amylase Enzymes

  4. Lactase Enzymes

The correct answer is: Protease Enzymes

Protease enzymes are specifically designed to break down proteins, making them the most effective choice for removing heavy soil on instruments. Lipase enzymes would be more suited for removing fatty or oily soil, amylase enzymes for breaking down starchy residue, and lactase enzymes for breaking down lactose.
