Abstract

Description

Detergent composition

Technical Field

The present invention relates to detergent compositions, more particularly to laundry detergent compositions, which comprise novel lipases.

Background

Sebum is oily dirt that remains as a stain that is difficult to remove from clothing that is worn. The challenge of effective sebum removal remains elusive given the drive to encourage users to wash at lower temperatures. Sebum is composed of a large number of fats and esters, including wax esters, cholesterol esters, squalene, and many free fatty acids/alcohols. Sebum is liquid at body temperature, but solid at ambient temperature.

These properties are particularly important for the removal of dirt from the collar/cuff because it is easier to remove liquid body oils from the garment than to remove solids. Current laundry enzymes do not degrade all components of sebum, which makes it difficult to remove from fabrics.

The problem with sebum removal is that detergents including current commercial enzymes do not adequately remove sebum.

Alpha/beta-hydrolase [ Vulcanisaeta moutnovski ]

Fermentation (harvesting) and purification

Protein production was performed in 2L Erlenmeyer flasks with 1L LB medium and the appropriate antibiotic for plasmid selection (ampicillin, 100. mu.g/mL). LB-medium was inoculated with 1-3% (v/v) of the preculture and incubated at 37 ℃ and 180rpm until OD was reached ₆₀₀ 0.6. Gene expression was induced by adding IPTG to a final concentration of 1mM and was performed at 37 ℃ and 180rpm for 3 hours. Cells were harvested by centrifugation (4750 Xg, 20min, 4 ℃) and stored at-80 ℃. Cell lysis was performed by resuspending the cell paste in equilibration buffer (25mM Tris-HCl, pH8.0, 250mM NaCl, 20mM imidazole, 0.1% Triton X-100, 5% glycerol, 10mL buffer for 1g of cell wet weight) and sonicating the cells on ice. Protein purification was performed using a 1mL HisTrap FF column using the AKTA purification system for affinity chromatography by polyhistidine-tag. Protein elution was performed via a linear gradient using increasing imidazole concentration buffer (25mM Tris-HCl, pH8.0, 250mM NaCl, 500mM imidazole, 0.1% Triton X-100, 5% glycerol) for 30 min. The eluted fractions were identified by absorbance (280nm) and applied to SDS-PAGE. Fractions containing the protein of interest were pooled and dialyzed overnight against 5L of imidazole-free buffer (25mM Tris-HCl, pH8.0, 250mM NaCl). The dialyzed protein was supplemented with 0.005% (v/v) sodium azide and 10% (v/v) glycerol for freezing and stored at-80 ℃.

Biological analysis

Determination of protein concentration

The total amount of protein in the enzyme sample was estimated by using Sigma-Aldrich (bicinchoninic acid) BCA assay kit. The BCA reagent was prepared by mixing solution A [ 1% (w/v) sodium salt form of dioctanoclonic acid, 2% (w/v) sodium carbonate, 0.16% (w/v) sodium tartrate, 0.4% (w/v) sodium hydroxide, 0.95% (w/v) sodium bicarbonate, pH11.5] with solution B [ 4% (w/v) copper sulfate ] at a ratio of 50:1 (v/v). Serial dilutions of bovine serum albumin (2mg/mL) were made in deionized water to generate a 7-point standard curve. To perform this assay, BCA reagent (200 μ L) was added to wells of a 96-well plate, followed by sample protein dilution (20 μ L). Microtiter plates (MTP) were sealed and incubated at 37 ℃ for 30 min. After incubation, the absorbance at 540nm was measured on a spectrophotometer.

Determination of the purity of the LipaseSamples of lipase-containing protein (20. mu.L) were prepared in SDS-PAGE loading buffer and heated at 70 ℃ for 10 min, then run on 4-12% NuPage Bis-Tris gels in MOPS buffer at 170V. The PageRulerPlus molecular weight markers were run on gel with the samples to determine molecular mass. Each gel was then stained using GelCode Blue Safe Protein Stain Scientific according to the manufacturer's protocol.

Biochemical determination of lipase activity

Lipase activity was determined colorimetrically, using 4-nitrophenylvalerate (C5) and 4-nitrophenyldodecanoate (C12) as substrates. 4-Nitrophenyldodecanoate (25mg) or 4-nitrophenylvalerate (18mg) was dissolved in 10mL of solvent (methanol) to prepare an 8mM stock solution. Before performing the assay, 1mL of the stock solution was added to 7mL of acidified water (ph4.5) to give a final concentration of 1 mM. In a 96-well microtiter plate, 60. mu.L dH was added ₂ O, 115. mu.L Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.5, 50mM), 5. mu.L diluted enzyme solution and 20. mu.L substrate (multiple channels at the end). For blanks, with dH ₂ O instead of the enzyme solution. After addition of the reagents, the release of the product (4-nitrophenol) was monitored at 405nm for 15 minutes at ambient temperature.

Application test

Composition and application of model human sebum to fabricTable 1A shows the composition of human sebum to be used in the washing study, which is comparable to human sebum analyzed in the literature (table 1B). Macrolex violet dye (0.4% w/w) was added to model sebum and then 100. mu.L was applied to a 10X 10cm sample of polycotton preheated to 60 ℃. By applying stains toDrying overnight at 60 ℃ promoted wicking of the stain, confirmed uniformity of stain by colorimetrically measuring SRI values across the sample, which was then cut into smaller 30mm diameter circles to enable assembly in 6-well microtiter plates for subsequent wash tests.

TABLE 1 (A) composition of the human sebum tested. The composition of human sebum proposed by Nikkari1974, In Ro2005, Stefaniak 2010 is shown In comparison (B). A model human sebum-like model was designed to mimic the literature description.

Wash study for enzymatic cleaning Performance on human sebum-like

A pre-wash reading was taken on a 30mm diameter sebum stain to measure stain strength. Wash studies were performed in 5mL volumes (1 hour at 100rpm in 6-well plates at 40 ℃) or 100mL (1 hour at 100rpm in a glass vial at 40 ℃). The enzyme was present at 25mg/L in a 7.5% surfactant formulation at 2 g/L. The stain was then rinsed three times after washing to completely remove the wash liquor and any remaining enzyme. After drying, the stained plates were digitally scanned and their Δ Ε was measured. This value is used to indicate the cleaning effect and is defined as the color difference between white cloth and soiled cloth after washing.

Mathematically, Δ E is defined as:

ΔE＝[(ΔL)2+(Δa)2+(Δb)2]1/2

wherein Δ L is a measure of the difference in darkness between the wash cloth and the white cloth; Δ a and Δ b are measures of the difference in red and yellow color between the two cloths, respectively. It is evident from this equation that the lower the Δ Ε value, the whiter the fabric. For this color measurement technique, reference is made to Commission International de l' eclairage (cie); recommendation on Uniform color Spaces, color difference equations, psychometric color fields, supplement No.2to CIE Publication, No.15, Colormetric, Bureau Central de Ia CIE, Paris 1978.

Herein, the cleaning effect is expressed in the form of the Stain Release Index (SRI):

SRI＝100-ΔE

the higher the SRI, the cleaner the cloth, the SRI 100 (white).

Enzymatic cleaning performance against human sebum

A wash study at 5mL wash volume determined that the lipase of SEQ ID1 showed improved performance for removal of human-like sebum compared to a control sample comprising the current commercial laundry lipase benchmark (Lipex event). The test was performed in triplicate at 40 ℃ for 1 hour. The formulation used contained 7.5% total surfactant.

For the lipase of the invention, an increase of > 5 units of SRI was a clearly visible cleaning improvement compared to Lipex event (table 2).
