can you stop enzymes chemically

I dont think the enzymes work like that. They "digest" break down the urine chemicals. not actually eat them. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this one..
The image that is coming to mind is the same enzymes I put into an rv toilet when we go camping. God I hope the enzymes arent like that. hmm liquid slurry smells like that stuff..

I believe the only way to get the action to stop is to extract the area all together beacuse the byproducts are still there. including the urine.

Remember that enzymes are chemicals - usually protiens - that trigger or accellerate an action. They will continue working as long as the other components to the reaction are present. For an example if an enzyme "digests" or breaks down lipids (body fats) it will continue to work as long as it is in close contact with lipids.

There are two basic types of enzyme products. The enzyme can be produce in a facility and then used as a stand-alone ingredient. There are also bio-enzymes or combination products. These actually contain living organisms (friendly or non-pathogenic bacteria) that produce the enzymes. As the enzymes break down or digest the contamination, the bacteria eat the resulting product. They grow. Multiply. Produce more enzyme. Then the cycle continues.

Adding a disinfectant to the mix will kill all or most of the bacteria. No more enzymes will produced.the process will slwo down significantly. But enzyems that are already present are not killed (they never were alive) or they do not stop working. You simply stop new ones from being formed.

The following is from a email newsletter I received today from Legends Brand-Sapphire Scientific, Dri-Eaz, Enzyme vs. bioenzyme: which do you need?


Many industries use enzymes, and it's helpful to understand how they work as well as the role of bioenzymes. Enzymes are complex molecules, typically proteins, that are organic catalysts - they make biochemical reactions occur faster. A biochemical reaction breaks down biologically derived soils such as blood, edible greases and oils, pet stains, etc. Enzymes fracture the molecular structure of biological soils so that they can be more easily flushed away. Each enzyme has its own combination of pH, temperature, dilution and time that allows it to be the most effective, and they begin to work on contact.

A bioenzyme is produced by microbes (microorganisms) that in the right biological environment (food source) produce enzymes that digest biological soils, thus the name "bioenzymes." Bioenzymes provide an important advantage to the cleaner: the microorganisms continue producing enzymes as long as a food source exists. When the food is consumed, the microorganisms either go into a dormant state or die and stop their enzyme production. The system then becomes very self-limiting or self-sustaining as needed.

One downside of microorganisms is that they need some time to multiply and start making the enzymes. As a result, you have to be a bit more patient with bioenzymes than enzymes. An enzyme-based product will start working in 15 to 20 minutes under normal conditions. A bioenzyme by contrast, may require an hour or longer to start working. So for example, you might want to choose an enzyme-based product when cleaning a carpet with greasy surface soil, but use a bioenzyme when treating pet urine trapped in the backing of the carpet.
