Scientists use information about digestion to help design new cleaning products because they break down materials. What enzymes should be included in cleaners that are aimed at removing stains from a greasy hamburger patty?

A greasy hamburger patty can leave both protein and fat stains. Proteases break down proteins, while lipases break down fats, so a cleaner aimed at both types of residue should include protease and lipase. Amylase acts on starch, and nuclease acts on nucleic acids, so those are less suited to these stains.
