Description
W O 92/08779 PC~r/US91/08041 -2U~62~6 LIQUID DETERGENT COMPOSITION CONTAINING
LIPASE AND PROTEASE
Technical Field The present invention relates to liquid detergent compositions which contain an enzyme system. The enzyme system is a combination of a modified protease and a lipase.
Background It is well known in the art that detergent compositions may advantageously comprise enzyme systems. Such enzyme systems include cellulase, protease, lipase and amylases. The present invention is specifically aiming at providing liquid detergent compositions in which the enzyme system comprises a mixture of protease and lipase.
Formulating such a combination in a granular detergent raises no specific issue, since both enzymes can be physically separated. On the contrary, formulating such a combination in a liquid detergent raises a specific technical issue in that the protease is likely to take as a substrate any protein present in the detergent composition.
W O 92/08779 z PCT/US91/08041 2~6~56 Specifically, it has been observed that lipases which may also be present in the detergent composition are particularly subject to such proteolytic degradation; as a consequence, the residual activity of the lipase in the detergent composition will rapidly diminish with the storage time of the detergent composition, so that it was up to now impossible to formulate liquid detergent compositions comprising at the same time a lipase and a protease, said detergent compositions being sufficiently stable for a commercial exploitation.
It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a liquid detergent composition comprising an enzyme system comprising a lipase and a protease, wherein said enzyme system is stable; by stable, it is meant that the proteolytic degradation of the lipase is substantially reduced.
It has now been found that this object can be met by using anv lipase, or mixtures thereof, together with a bacterial serine protease wherein the methionine adjacent to the serine of the active site has been replaced by another amino acid, or mixtures of such proteases.
Indeed, it has been discovered that this specific combination would provide an enzyme system comprising a protease and a lipase, which would be stable in a liquid detergent composition.
This solution has the advantage of being simple because it onlv requires ingredients which are commercially available; indeed, several modified bacterial serine proteases suitable for the purpose of this invention are commercially available, as well as several lipases suitable for use in a detergent comp~sition. Furthermore, the detergent compositions according to the invention require no addition of specific lipase stabilizers, and are therefore particularly attractive in terms of product cost and environmental compatibility.
Modified bacterial serine proteases including proteases suitable for use in the compositions according to the invention are disclosed for instance in EP-A-0 328 229 as well as their use in detergent compositions.
This patent application describes among others a modified bacterial serine protease which is commercially available from GIST-BROCADES under the name MAXAPEM 15R.
Biotechnology Newswatch, published March, 1988, page 6, and EP A-O 258 268 describe a lipase enzyme which is commercially available from NOVO NORDISK A/S under the trade name LIPOLASER. This European patent application mentions that LIPOLASER can be combined with proteases to form a granular enzymatic detergent additive.
EP-A-O 381 262 describes detergent compositions comprising a protease and a lipase, preferably LIPOLASER, together with a stabilizing system. The proteases disclosed in this reference include bacterial proteases.
Summary of the invention Accordingly, the present invention is a liquid detergent composition comprising from about 5% to about 60% by weight of an organic surface active agent selected from nonionic, anionic, cationic, and zwitterionic surface active agents and mixtures thereof, and an enzyme system comprising a,lipase derived from Humico 1a 7anuginosa a bacterial serine protease derived from Baci11us subti1is selected from the group consisting of a Baci11us subti1is which has been modified by replacing the methionine at position 197 in its amino acid sequence with cysteine or a Baci11us subti1is which has been modified by replacing the methionine at position 216 in its amino acid sequence with cysteine and wherein said lipase is present in an amount sufficient to provide from 0.1 to 10,000 Lipolytic Units per gram and wherein said protease is present in the amount of from 0.005 to 10 mg of active protease per gram of finished product, and from 0.01% to 5% by weight of the composition of an enzyme stabilization system selected from the group consisting of boric acid, 1,2-propanediol, carboxylic acids, and mixtures thereof and wherein said composition has a pH of from 7.0 to 8.5.
Detailed description of the invention The enzyme system according to the present invention comprises a lipase and a protease. Any lipase suitable for use in a detergent composition can be used in the compositions according to the invention, as described for instance in EP 0 381 262 or EP 271 152. The preferred lipase to be used in the compositions according to the present invention C
f W O 92/08779 P ~ /US91/08041 - 20~6~ 6 4 ~,_ ~ is a lipase derived from Humicola lanu~inosa, as described in EP-A-0 258 068 to NOVO INDUSTRI A/S. This patent application describes how to obtain said specific lipase, but said specific lipase is also commercially available from NOVO NORDISK A/S under the trade name LIPOLASER. Other commercially available lipases suitable for use herein are Amono-P Lipase R, Amono-B Lipase R, Amono CES Lipase R, Amono AKG
Lipase R, all from Amono Pharmaceuticals, Japan; Toyo Jozo Co, Japan and US biochemical Corp. USA as well as Diosynth Co, NL also commercialize suitable lipases for use in the compositions according to the present invention.
The compositions according to the present invention typically comprise from 0.l to l0000 Lipolytic Units per gram of finished product, preferably from l0 to 2500 Lipolytic Units per gram of finished product. Lipolytic units are defined for instance in EP 0 258 268, page 5 line 38..
The proteases to be used according to the present invention are modified bacterial serine proteases. All native bacterial serine proteases are characterized in that the active site invariably comprises a triade of amino acids which are serine, histidine and aspartic acid.
These amino acids are positioned in the native form of the enzyme in such a way that they catalyse the cleavage of internal peptide bonds of proteins. Another common point between these bacterial serine prote~ses is that there always is a methionine adjacent to the serine of .he active site, in the native sequence. The bacterial serine proteaseS
suitable for use according to the present invention are those wherein the methionine adjacent to the serine of the active site has been substituted by another amino acid. The serine of the active site can also be defined as the serine which is homologuous to the serine in position 221 in the amino acid sequence of the bacterial subtilisin protease produced by Bacillus Subtilis; said sequence is listed herein after in figure l.
W O 92/08779 5 P ~ /US91/08041 ~g62~G
In the sequence of this bacterial subtilisin protease produced by Bacillus Subtilis, the methionine is immediately after the serine in position 221 and therefore it is the methionine in position 222 which needs to be substituted by another amino acid. It is possible that, in the sequence of other bacterial serine proteases, this methionine would not be immediately following the serine of the active site; in such a case, it is the methionine homologuous to the methionine in position 222 in the sequence of this bacterial subtilisin protease produced by Bacillus Subtilis which needs to be substituted by another amino acid.
It is to be understood that the present invention does not reside in these modified proteases per se, rather in ehe particular applica~ion of these modified proteases to liquid detergent compositions also comprising a lipase; it is therefore not the aim of the present description to specify how these modified proteases can be obtained;
This modification can be done bv site-directed mutagenesis or any other genetic engeneering technique well known in the art for this purpose:
for instance, EP-A-0 328 229, to GIST-BROCADES N.V. describes how to obtain such proteases. Another suitable method is described in EP 130 756, which also describes a mofified bacterial serine protease suitable for use in the compositions according .o the invention.
Furthermore, some modified bacterial serine proteases suitable for use in the compositions according to the invention are commerciall.

Also available are experimental samples of modified OPTICLE~ R and OPTIMASER, from SOLVAY enzymefi; both are modified in that the methionine in position 222 is substituted by a c~steine. Preferred modified bacterial serine protease according to the present invention are .~AXAPEM
15R from GIST BROCADES and DURAZYM R from NOVO.
The compositions according to the present invention typically will contain from 0.005 to 10 mg of active protease per gram of finished product, preferably from 0.01 to 5.0 mg of active protease per gram of W O 92/08779 P ~ /US91/08041 finished product2 ~19xtur~es of the modified bacterial serine protease described herein above are also suitable for use in the compositions according to the invention.
The rest of the liquid detergent composition according to the present invention is made of conventional detergency ingredients, i.e.
water, surfactants, builders and others. The following description of these ingredients is for the sake of completeness of the description and is not to be construed as limiting the compositions of the present invention to those conventional ingredients described.
The liquid detergent compositions herein comprises from 5% to 60% by weight of the total liquid detergent composition, preferably from 10% by weight to 40~ by weight of an organic surface-active agent selected from nonionic, anionic, cationic and zwitterionic surface-active agents and mixtures thereof.
Suitable anionic surface-active salts are selected from the group of sulfonates and sulfates. The like anionic surfactants are well-known in the detergent arts and have found wide applica.ion in com~ercial detergents. Preferred anionic water-soluble sulfonate or sulfate salts have in their molecular structure an alkvl radical containing from abou.
