Bac~Loul-d of the Invention One of the most persistent and troublesome problems arising during modern fabric laundering operations is the ten~ency of ~ome colored fabrics to release dye into the laundering solutions. The dye is then transferred on~o other fabrics being washed therewith.
one way of overcoming this problem would be to bleach the fugitive dyes'washed out of dyed fabrics before they have the opportunity to become at~ch~ to other articles in the wash.
S~ r-nA~d or solubilized dyes can to some degree be ~ i 7 ~; in solution by employing known bleaching agents.

GB 2 101 167 describes a stable liquid bleaching compositioncontaining a hydrogen peroxide precursor which is activated to yield hydrogen peroxide on dil:tion.
However it is important at ~hè same time not to bleach the dyes actually remaining on thè fabrics, that is, not to cause color damage.
U.S. Patent 4,077,768 describes a process for inhibiting dye transfer by the use of an oxidizing bleaching agent together with a catalytic compound such as iron porphinc.
Cop~ndi~g EP Patent Application 91202655.6 filed October 9, 991, relates to dye transfer i~hihiting compositions ~-comprising an enzymatic system c~p~hle of generating hydrogen peroYi~ and ~GL~hin catalysts.
It has now been found that certain amine base catalys stabilizers when added to said enzymatic dye transfer i ~ i h~ting compositions enhances the overall performance of said compositions.~
The addition of said catalyst stabilizers re~ the rate of s-If-de_L ction of the porphin catalyst ~ ting in im~rovel through-th~ St ~h, stability of the porphin catalyst.
Also, imp.~ved whiteness benefits are obt~inP~ in the presence of catalyst stabilizers, due to a substantial reduction in the amount of porphin catalyst deposited onto the fabrics.
Furthermore, it has been found that said catalyst stabilizers -~
accelerate the oxidation reactivity of the ~oL~hin catalyst thereby încreasing the rate of the dye bleaching. ' '' Accor~in11y, a dye transfer i nh ~ hiting composition is provided which exhibits optimum dye transfer inhibiting properties.

wo 93/lsli6 o 9 6 pcr/us93~oo62~r The Hvdroqen Peroxide Precursor The oxidizing agent, hydrogen peroxide is generated in situ by usinq an enzymatic hydrogen peroxide generation system.
The use of an enzymatic hydrogen peroxide generating system allows the continuous generation of low levels of hyd~Gyen peroxide and provides a practical way of controlling a low steady-state level of hyd~o~en peroxide. Maximum effectiveness occurs when the component levels are such that the hydrogen peroxide is repl~ni~ at a rate similar to its removal due to the oxidation of dyes in the wash water. ~;
The enzyme used~in the ~ ent invention is an ox~ e.
The oxidase is y~-?nt by 0.1 - 20000 units, preferably 0.5 to 5000 units per gram of the composition. One unit is the amount of enzyme needed to convert 1 mol of substrate per minute.
Suitable QYi ~ are urate oxidase, galactose oxidase, alcohol QXi ~ 5 ~ amine oYi~es, amino acid oxi~A~e.c, cholesterol oY~ e and glucose oxidase, malate oxidase, glycollate QYi A-~? ~ hexose oxidase, aryl alcohol oxidase, L~

The preferred enzymatic systems are alcohol and aldehyde QYi ~ses, gl~cQc~ oxidase.
The more preferred systems for granular detergent application would have solid alcohols, e.g. glucose whose oxidation is catalysed by glu-:-? oxidase to glucoronic acid with the formation of hydLG~ peroxide.
The more preferred systems for liquid detergent application would involve liquid alcohols which could for example, also act as solvents. An example is ethanol/ethanol oxidase.
The quantity of oxidase to be employed in compositions according to the ill~e--~ion should be at least sufficient to provide in the wash a constant generation of 0.005 to 10 ppm AvO per minute. For example, with the glucose oxidase , this can be achieved at room temperature and at pH 6 to 11, preferentially 7 to 9 with 1-20000 U/l gl~co~e oxidase, 0.00s wo g3/lsl76 2 1 2 7 0 9 6 PCT/USg~/ ~ 26 s to o.s % giucose under constant aeration in the washing process.

p~5 ~15 ~ (III) Another form of substitution possible for the present h.~e..~ion is sukstitution of the central metal by Fe, Mn, Co Rh, Cr, Ru, Mo or other transition metals.
Still a number of considerations are significant in selecting variants of or substituents in the basic porphin or azaporphin structure. In the first place, one would choo~e com~ou,.ds which are available or can be readily synthesized.
' ~ y~..d this, the choice of the substituent groups can be used to control the solubility of the catalyst in water or in detergent solutions. Yet again, especially where it is desired to avoid attacking dyes attached to solid surfaces, the substituents can control the affinity of the catalyst compound for the surface. Thus, strongly negatively charged substituted compounds, for instance the tetrasulfonated porphin, may be -repelled by nçgatively charged stains or stained surfaces and are therefore most likely not to cause attack on fixed dyes, whereas the cationic or zwitterionic compounds may be -WO g3/15176 PCr/US93/00626 2l2 7og6 attracted to, or at least not repelled by such stained surfaces.
Amine base catalYst stabilizer The dye transfer inhibiting benefits can be optimized by adding small amounts of catalyst stabilizers.
It is well known in art that catalyst e.g. metallo porphins are ~;
~ certible to self-destruction. As a result of said selfdestruction, the level of catalyst sh4~lld be such that sufficient active catalyst is present to bleach the dyes ~~ ~

Bac~Loul-d of the Invention One of the most persistent and troublesome problems arising during modern fabric laundering operations is the ten~ency of ~ome colored fabrics to release dye into the laundering solutions. The dye is then transferred on~o other fabrics being washed therewith.
one way of overcoming this problem would be to bleach the fugitive dyes'washed out of dyed fabrics before they have the opportunity to become at~ch~ to other articles in the wash.
S~ r-nA~d or solubilized dyes can to some degree be ~ i 7 ~; in solution by employing known bleaching agents.

However it is important at ~hè same time not to bleach the dyes actually remaining on thè fabrics, that is, not to cause color damage.

The use of an enzymatic hydrogen peroxide generating system allows the continuous generation of low levels of hyd~Gyen peroxide and provides a practical way of controlling a low steady-state level of hyd~o~en peroxide. Maximum effectiveness occurs when the component levels are such that the hydrogen peroxide is repl~ni~ at a rate similar to its removal due to the oxidation of dyes in the wash water. ~;
The enzyme used~in the ~ ent invention is an ox~ e.
The oxidase is y~-?nt by 0.1 - 20000 units, preferably 0.5 to 5000 units per gram of the composition. One unit is the amount of enzyme needed to convert 1 mol of substrate per minute.

The more preferred systems for granular detergent application would have solid alcohols, e.g. glucose whose oxidation is catalysed by glu-:-? oxidase to glucoronic acid with the formation of hydLG~ peroxide.
The more preferred systems for liquid detergent application would involve liquid alcohols which could for example, also act as solvents. An example is ethanol/ethanol oxidase.
The quantity of oxidase to be employed in compositions according to the ill~e--~ion should be at least sufficient to provide in the wash a constant generation of 0.005 to 10 ppm AvO per minute. For example, with the glucose oxidase , this can be achieved at room temperature and at pH 6 to 11, preferentially 7 to 9 with 1-20000 U/l gl~co~e oxidase, 0.00s wo g3/lsl76 2 1 2 7 0 9 6 PCT/USg~/ ~ 26 s to o.s % giucose under constant aeration in the washing process.

Still a number of considerations are significant in selecting variants of or substituents in the basic porphin or azaporphin structure. In the first place, one would choo~e com~ou,.ds which are available or can be readily synthesized.
' ~ y~..d this, the choice of the substituent groups can be used to control the solubility of the catalyst in water or in detergent solutions. Yet again, especially where it is desired to avoid attacking dyes attached to solid surfaces, the substituents can control the affinity of the catalyst compound for the surface. Thus, strongly negatively charged substituted compounds, for instance the tetrasulfonated porphin, may be -repelled by nçgatively charged stains or stained surfaces and are therefore most likely not to cause attack on fixed dyes, whereas the cationic or zwitterionic compounds may be -WO g3/15176 PCr/US93/00626 2l2 7og6 attracted to, or at least not repelled by such stained surfaces.
Amine base catalYst stabilizer The dye transfer inhibiting benefits can be optimized by adding small amounts of catalyst stabilizers.
