  • a-amylase a-amylolytic enzyme
  • Commercial enzyme preparations particularly those prepared for use in detergent compositions, are rarely pure enzyme and are, in any case, generally mixed with various inert materials.
  • Commercial enzyme preparations will typically have a low calcium metal content complexed with the enzyme and as part of the inert portion of the preparation. As described hereinafter, this calcium content must be recognized for stability considerations.
  • Standard enzyme basis is defined as an enzyme preparation having an activity measured in Kilo Novo a-amylase Units (KNU) of 120 KNU/gram.
  • KNU Kilo Novo a-amylase Units

  • the Novo method Novo Industri A/S, Bagsvaerd, Denmark
  • the SKB method is described in Cereal Chemistry, 16, 712 (1939).
  • a-Amylases derived from B. licheniformis have been characterized as carbohydrases and more particularly 1,4-a-D-Glucan Glucanohydrolase.
  • a-Amylases for use in detergent compositions, granule detergent compositions in particular have been generally derived from Bacillus subtilis, but a-amylase derived from B. licheniformis suitable for use in the compositions of the present invention is available from a number of sources.
  • Termamyl® 120L Novo Industri A/S, Bagsvaerd, Denmark; Taka-Therm® L-340, Miles Laboratories, Elkhart, Indiana; Rohalase At * , Rohm & Haas, West Philadelphia, PA; Maxamyl HT®, Gist Brocades, Delft, The Netherlands, are a-amylases derived from B. licheniformis and suitable for use in the compositions of the present invention.

  • compositions of the invention contain from 3% to 30% and preferably from 5% to 25% of a calcium ion sequestering agent.
  • sequestering agents act as detergency builders to improve cleaning, particularly when the washing solution will contain metal ions other than alkali metal ions. Sequestration involves the formation of a coordination complex of the sequestering agent and metallic ions in solution to reduce the interactions of calcium with other materials in the wash solution.
  • sequestering agent includes multidentate ligands which can act as chelating agents and can include some ion exchange materials, but not those detergency builder materials which remove calcium ions from solutions only by precipitation reactions.
  • the sequestering agents used in the compositions of this invention include polyphosphates, polyphosphonates and polycarboxylates in soluble salt or acid form.
  • Polyphosphates which can sequester calcium ions are characterized by the general formula: and comprise the acid form and alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts of pyrophosphoric acid and tripolyphosphoric acid and the water soluble polymetaphosphates.
  • pyrophosphoric acid and its salts are preferred because of their stability.
  • Water solutions of tripolyphosphates and polymetaphosphates tend to degrade to a mixture of pyrophosphate and orthophosphate, the latter having the ability to precipitate but not sequester calcium.
  • Polyphosphonates comprise a large range of organic compounds having two or more wherein M is a hydrogen or a salt-forming radical.
  • Suitable phosphonates include ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1- diphosphonates, ethanehydroxy-1,1,2-triphosphonates and their oligomeric ester chain condensates.
  • Particularly suitable polyphosphonates for use in the compositions of the invention are nitrogen-containing polyphosphonates such as ethylenediaminetetramethylene phosphonic acid and diethylenetriaminepenta- methylene phosphonic acid and alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts thereof.
  • Suitable polycarboxylates include the acid form and alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts of citric, ascorbic, phytic, mellitic, benzene, pentacarboxylic, oxydiacetic, carboxy- methyloxysuccinic, carboxymethyloxymalonic, cis-cyclohexanehexacarboxylic, cis-cyclopentanetetracarboxylic and oxydisuccinic acids.

  • Particularly suitable polycarboxylates are those containing nitrogen such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, hydroxyethylenediaminetriacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid and nitrilotriacetic acid and alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts thereof.
  • combinations of sequestering agents with different degrees of calcium ion sequestering power are particularly useful in the practice of this invention.
  • the combinations of citric acid and a nitrogen-containing sequestering agent selected from the group consisting of ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid, diethylenetriamine pentamethylenephosphonic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, hydroxyethylenediaminetriacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid or mixtures and suitable salts thereof are particularly preferred.
  • Citric acid has a relatively lower equilibrium constant of complexation with calcium than the nitrogen-containing sequestering agents recited above.
  • Preferred ratios of citric acid to the nitrogen-containing sequestering agent are from about 50:1 to about 1:2 by weight and, more preferably, from about 30:1 to about 2:1 by weight.
  • the stabilized aqueous enzyme compositions of this invention comprise a calcium-containing component to provide at least 1 x 10 -4.5 millimoles of enzyme-accessible calcium, as hereinafter defined, per liter of said composition.
  • a calcium-containing component to provide at least 1 x 10 -4.5 millimoles of enzyme-accessible calcium, as hereinafter defined, per liter of said composition.
  • sufficient calcium-containing component is incorporated to provide at least 1 x 10 -4 millimoles of enzyme-accessible calcium and more preferably at least 1 x 10- 3 millimoles.
  • the compositions contain at least 1 x 10- 2 millimoles of enzyme-accessible calcium per liter of said composition.
  • the calcium-containing component can be or can be part of other essential or optional components, for example, an anionic surfactant in the form of a calcium salt or a calcium-sequestering agent complex. More typically, water-soluble or solubilizable calcium salts such as calcium chloride are employed. In the aqueous liquid detergent compositions of the present invention, calcium in different forms, insoluble, sequestered and enzyme-accessible, will reach an equilibrium as a function of the composition components and pH without regard to the initial nature of the calcium-containing component.
  • a upper limit of enzyme-accessible calcium in compositions of the invention can be set by practical considerations not related to enzyme stability. There is little improvement in the stability of alpha-amylase derived from B. licheniformis in compositions of the invention at enzyme-accessible calcium levels above 1 x 10- 2 millimoles per liter. In the preferred compositions of the invention this level of enzyme-accessible calcium is provided by total calcium levels of no more than from 0.1% to 0.3% of the composition by weight.
  • a calcium-sequestering agent complex is nevertheless capable of sequestering heavy metal ions such as iron, manganese and copper which are associated with certain staining problems. This is a result of higher complexation and formation constants of said sequestering agents with heavy metal ions relative to the constants with calcium.
  • Enzyme-accessible calcium is analogous to free or ionic calcium in aqueous solutions of less complexity than the compositions of the invention.
  • enzyme-accessible calcium is determined by the method described in the following publication:
  • compositions of the invention by use of the following assumptions:
  • alkaline earth metals other than calcium are substantially less effective for stabilizing the compositions of the invention.
  • compositions of this invention contain from 10% to 80% water, preferably from 15% to 60% water, by weight.
  • Preferred compositions have a pH of from about 6.5 to about 9.0.
  • compositions of this invention can contain components other than those disclosed as essential.
  • compositions of this invention can contain enzymes other than a-amylase derived from B. licheniformis, proteolytic enzymes in particular.
  • suitable proteolytic enzymes include many enzyme preparations adapted for use in detergent compositions and, in fact, used in detergent compositions.
  • Sources of the enzymes include commercial enzyme preparations such as Alcalase@ sold by Novo Industries, A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark and Maxatase @ sold by Gist-Brocades, Delft, The Netherlands.
  • Other preferred enzyme compositions include those commercially available under the tradenames Esperase @ , manufactured and sold by Novo Industries, A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark and "Az-Protease” manufactured and sold by Gist-Brocades, Delft, The Netherlands.
  • levels of enzyme accessible calcium above about 1 x 10- 2 millimoles per liter provide excellent stability to proteolytic enzymes (proteases) incorporated in the compositions of the invention and the inclusion of a proteolytic enzyme is a preferred embodiment. There is, however, no dramatic increase in proteolytic enzyme stability over any narrow range of enzyme-accessible calcium levels as is seen with a-amylase (derived from B. licheniformis) between 1 x 10- S and 1 x 10- 4.
  • compositions of this invention can contain solvents other than water.
  • Low molecular weight primary or secondary alcohol exemplified by methanol, ethanol, propanol, and isopropanol are suitable.
  • Monohydric alcohols are preferred for solubilizing the surfactant but polyols containing from 2 to about 6 carbon atoms and from 2 to about 6 hydroxy groups can be used and can provide improved enzyme stability.
  • polyols include propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, glycerine and 1,2-propanediol.
  • Ethanol is a particularly preferred alcohol.
  • the compositions contain from 0% to 30%, preferably from about 1% to 15%, of alcohols.
  • a short chain carboxylic acid salt can be used to stabilize enzymes, particularly proteolytic enzymes, as disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,318,818, issued March 9, 1982.
  • the short chain carboxylic acid salt preferably is a formate, e.g., formic acid and its salts.
  • the formates are surprisingly much more effective than other short chain carboxylic salts such as the acetates and the propionates.
  • the short chain carboxylic acid salt is used at a level from 0.1% to 10%, preferably from 0.3% to 3%, more preferably from 0.5% to 2.0% when the product pH is below about 8.5 and from 3% to 10%, preferably from 4% to 8%, when the product pH is from 8.5 to 10.
  • a fatty acid component is incorporated in an amount of from 3% to 25% by weight, preferably from 5% to 20% by weight.
  • the fatty acids have from 10 to 22, preferably from 12 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain.
  • Compositions containing fatty acids will have a pH of from 6.5 to 9.0.
  • compositions of the invention can contain such materials as fabric whiteners and brighteners, sudsing control agents, hydrotropes such as sodium toluene or xylene sulfonate, perfumes, colorants, opacifiers, anti-redeposition agents and alkalinity control or buffering agents such as monoethanolamine and triethanolamine.
  • materials such as fabric whiteners and brighteners, sudsing control agents, hydrotropes such as sodium toluene or xylene sulfonate, perfumes, colorants, opacifiers, anti-redeposition agents and alkalinity control or buffering agents such as monoethanolamine and triethanolamine.
  • the use of these materials is well known in the detergent art.
  • Materials or anions that tend to precipitate calcium should preferably be restricted to minimum levels. Examples are carbonates, sulfates, and orthophosphates.
  • the fatty acids of preferred compositions act to precipitate calcium in a washing solution, they have no such effect in the undiluted compositions of the invention if calcium levels are controlled carefully.
  • the fatty acid content of the compositions of the invention at least at pH values below 8.5, does not substantially effect the enzyme-accessible calcium level of said compositions and can be neglected when calculating the enzyme-accessible calcium level as disclosed hereinbefore.
  • Liquid detergent compositions were prepared by mixing the components listed hereinafter in the stated proportions.
  • Composition A was prepared in thirteen variations with CaC1 2 and sodium diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA) levels as indicated. The variations were stored in airtight containers for 1 week at 100°F. (37.8°C) a-amylase activity was then measured by Technicon Industrial Method #500-77P dated September 12, 1977, as revised September 1979, (Technicon Industrial Systems, Tarrytown, N.Y. 10591), but any suitable method such as the one described in U.S. Patent 4,284,722 issued August 18, 1981, to Tamuri et al, will give equivalent results. a-amylase activity at the end of the storage period was divided by activity directly after composition preparation to calculate percent retained activity.
  • DTPA sodium diethylenetriaminepentaacetate
  • Composition B was prepared in seven variations with CaCl 2 ⁇ levels as indicated. The variations were stored for 1 month at 90°F (32.2°C) and at 70°F (21°C) and evaluated for a-amylase stability in the same manner as the variations of Composition A. Footnotes to Composition B
  • results show the dramatic improvement in a-amylase (derived from B. licheniformis) stability in an aqueous liquid detergent composition when a calcium-containing component is incorporated that provides at least 1 x 10 -4.5 millimoles of enzyme-accessible calcium.
  • the results also point out the advantage of mixtures of sequestering agents.
  • a sequestering agent with high equilibrium constant of complexation e.g., the nitrogen-containing sequestering agents disclosed hereinbefore, will tend to sequester all available calcium to the point of theoretical capacity, but can release such calcium in washing solutions to in turn sequester heavy metal ions such as copper, iron and manganese.
  • a sequestering agent with a lower equilibrium constant of complexation such as alkali metal citrates or citric acid can be incorporated in the compositions of the invention without addition of calcium-containing components at a level to satify theoretical capacity.
  • sequestering agents are available to act as detergency builders effective in the presence of alkaline earth metal ions in washing solutions.
  • a-amylase derived from B. licheniformis has, in effect, an equilibrium constant of complexation with calcium somewhat greater than citrate, or more precisely, an equilibrium constant that can hold sufficient calcium for stabilization in an aqueous solution containing at least 1 x 10 -4.5 millimoles of enzyme accessible calcium.
  • a-amylases derived by B. subtilis, Ban@ from Novo Industri and Rapidase @ from Gist Brocade are incorporated in the compositions of Example I replacing the Termamyl R120L. It is not possible to add a sufficient amount of a calcium-containing component to stabilize said a-amylases derived from B. subtilis without precipitation of calcium citrate in the aqueous liquid detergent compositions.
