Apparently Ariel Liquid and Ariel Gel now contain a new enzyme called 'Purezyme'. It appears to be a phosphodiesterase, and the action of this enzyme seems to 'unstick' soiling.
The gel format seems to have a total of six enzymes:
Protease, Phosphodiesterase, Amylase, Lyase, Cellulase, Mannanase.
The liquid format loses the cellulase enzyme.

Seaweed, slime and socks: The science behind the suds
The novel phosphodiesterase enzyme, discovered by a team from Newcastle University, UK, is used by bacteria to unstick themselves from seaweed. The bacteria release an enzyme which breaks down the sticky molecules, naturally present on the seaweed surface. This enzyme is a powerful, new type of...
