Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the manufacture of liquid detergent compositions which comprise a sulphiting agent and an enzyme system.
  • Liquid detergents have been described extensively in the art.
  • liquid laundry detergents which comprise a sulphiting agent that stabilizes the color characteristics of said compositions.
  • a new technical problem has occurred upon using sulphiting agents in liquid detergents in that important odors are generated as the sulphiting agent is incorporated in said detergents, so that said detergent's odor significantly deviates from its defined standard.
  • the problem the present invention seeks to solve is to avoid odor deviations in liquid laundry detergents which comprise sulphiting agents.
  • odor deviation is generated by an interaction between the sulphiting agent and the enzyme which is also present in said detergent. Without wanting to be bound by theory, it is believed that the sulphiting agent reacts with impurities which are typically present in commercially available enzyme preparations.
  • the present invention proposes to intimately mix said enzyme system and said sulphiting agent apart from the remainder of said detergent composition.
  • Liquid detergent compositions comprising sulphiting agents have been described in DE 3729474, EP 80 748, EP 80 223, EP 79641, BE 796 115 and US 3,741,901. None of these documents suggest that enzymes and sulphiting agents may generate odor if they are mixed together. Furthermore, J01256596 (abstract) addresses the control of enzyme-originating odors. In the context of this document, sulphites are used to diminish the odor of enzymes.
  • the present invention includes a process for the manufacture of a liquid detergent composition comprising a sulphiting agent and an enzyme system, whereby said enzyme system and said sulphiting agent interact together so as to generate odors, characterized in that said process includes the steps of:
  • the present invention further includes an enzyme premix obtainable in the course of the process according to the present invention, said enzyme premix consisting essentially of said enzyme system and said sulphiting agent.
  • Liquid detergent compositions manufactured according to the present invention comprise conventional detergency ingredients, an enzyme system and a sulphiting agent.
  • conventional detergency ingredients include such ingredients as surfactants, builders, bleaches, solvents, soil release agents, color care ingredients, chelants, dyes, perfumes and the like.
  • the detergent compositions herein may be aqueous or anhydrous, and can further be formulated as so-called concentrated liquid detergent compositions.
  • the detergent compositions according to the present invention can be formulated in a variety of different embodiments, especially laundry detergents.
  • compositions manufactured according to the present invention further comprise a sulphiting agent.
  • sulphiting agents are compounds capable of yielding sulfite ions in said liquid detergent compositions. Such sulphiting agents include sulphite, hydrogenosulphite or pyrosulphite salts, sulfur dioxide and sulfurous acid, or mixtures thereof. Preferred for use herein are alkali metal sulphites, pyrosulphite or hydrogenosulphite, particularly potassium sulphites.
  • the compositions manufactured according to the present invention comprise from 0.01% to 1% by weight of said total composition of said sulphiting agent, preferably from 0.05% to 0.7%, most preferably from 0.1% to 0.5%.
  • the term sulphiting agents includes mixtures of sulphiting agents.
  • compositions manufactured according to the present invention further comprise an enzyme system.
  • Said enzyme system includes protease, amylase, cellulase and lipase.
  • enzyme system includes single enzymes and mixtures thereof. Most commercially available enzymes come as preparations which comprise pure enzyme and impurities. It is believed that said impurities interact with the sulphiting agents to generate odors. Accordingly, the term "enzyme” as used herein refers to the enzyme together with the impurities which come with it.
  • the present invention is only applicable to those enzymes, or enzyme preparations, which generate odors as they are intimately mixed with a sulphiting agent as described hereinabove.
  • Such enzymes include commercially available Termamyl ® and Maxamyl ®.
  • Detergent compositions manufactured according to the present invention comprise from 0.1% to 10% by weight of said enzyme system, preferably from 0.2% to 5%, most preferably from 0.5% to 3%.
  • the process according to the present invention comprises at least three steps.
  • said sulphiting agent and said enzyme system are intimately mixed together apart from the remainder of said liquid detergent composition.
  • said odor is generated outside the remainder of the detergent composition as said sulphiting agent and said enzyme system are intimately mixed together.
  • intimately mixed it is to be understood that said sulphiting agent and said enzyme system are mixed so as to ensure complete interaction between both ingredients, thus complete generation of said odor.
  • said enzyme system must be intimately mixed with at least a portion of said sulphiting agent, wherein said portion of sulphiting agent represents a quantity which is sufficient to ensure complete generation of said odor.
  • a very small quantity of sulphiting agent is required to completely generate said odor.
  • said sulphiting agent and said enzyme system are left to interact in appropriate conditions and until said odor has disappeared or is substantially reduced. In practice it appears sufficient to gently mix both ingredients under adequate aeration.
  • said intimate mixture of said sulphiting agent and said enzyme system is added to the remainder of said liquid detergent composition. It is to be understood that said intimate mixture can also be added to a portion of the remainder of said liquid detergent composition, which in turn may be added to a further portion of said liquid detergent composition or the remainder thereof.
  • the present invention further includes an enzyme premix obtainable in the course of the process according to the present invention.
  • Said premix consists essentially of said enzyme or mixtures thereof and said sulphiting agent or mixtures thereof.
  • substantially it is meant herein that said premix also comprises impurities which come with the enzyme raw material and which interact with said sulphiting agent.
  • Said premix preferably comprises from 0.1% to 5% by weight of said premix of said sulphiting agent, preferably from 0.1% to 1% by weight, the remainder of said premix being constituted by the enzyme raw material.
  • the present invention is further illustrated by the following example.
  • a liquid detergent composition is made which comprises the listed ingredients in the listed proportions (weight %): Linear Alkyl Benzene sulphonate 19.00 Nonionic surfactant 12.00 Fatty acid 11.00 Citric acid 5.00 Termamyl ® (1) 0.14 Potassium sulphite 0.13 Borate 2.50 Calcium chloride 0.02 Soil release agent 0.45 Brightener 0.15 Chelant 1.00 Ethanol 1.00 Propanediol 11.00 Monoethanolamine 9.50 Potassium hydroxide 1.50 Sodium hydroxide 1.80 Minors and water up to 100 % (1) Termamyl ® is a commercially available amylase.
  • a premix comprising a portion of the potassium sulphite and the Termamyl ® is prepared by intimately mixing 99.8 g of Termamyl which comes as a liquid raw material) with 0.2 g of K2SO3 powder until the K2SO3 powder is dissolved into the liquid enzyme raw material.
  • the odor is generated instantaneously.
  • Said premix of Termamyl ® and potassium sulphites is mixed gently in an open container. After 48 hours, the odor generated as both ingredients were contacted disappears.
  • 0.15 g of said premix is then added to the total remainder of said detergent composition (which includes the remainder of potassium sulphite) by gently mixing both in a beaker at room temperature.
  • liquid detergent composition described above was thus generated and exhibited no odor deviation.
  • the same detergent composition was manufactured where the enzyme preparation was added without having been premixed with the sulphiting agent. Under these conditions, a strong odor deviation was generated.
