Description

"Firm, fragrance-inducing composition"

The invention relates to a solid, fragrance-imparting composition and their use and preparation. Furthermore, the invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent containing the solid, fragrance-providing composition.

Repeated washing often causes textiles to harden and lose their softness. To give textiles their softness / flexibility to give them a pleasant fragrance and / or to improve their antistatic properties, the textiles are treated after the actual washing and cleaning process in a subsequent rinsing process with a fabric softener.

Most fabric softeners on the market are aqueous formulations known as

Main action component containing a cationic textile softening compound having one or two long-chain alkyl groups in one molecule. Commonly used cationic fabric softening compounds include, for example, methyl N- (2-hydroxyethyl) -N, N-di (tallowacyloxyethyl) ammonium compounds or N, N-dimethyl-N, N-di (tallowacyloxyethyl) ammonium compounds.

These conventional softener formulations can not be used concurrently with the detergent or cleaning agent in the actual washing or cleaning process because of the cationic fabric softening compounds because the cationic fabric softening compounds undesirably interact with the anionic surfactants of the detergents or cleaners. Therefore, an additional flushing process is necessary, but which is time and energy intensive.

Another disadvantage is that conventional fabric softeners do not prevent the deposition of

Prevent lime deposits on the laundry during the rinsing process. In addition, the conventional softener often leave unsightly deposit in the dispenser

Washing machine.

Even with other textile-care compounds, problems may arise that require, for example, a separate dosage and / or a separate rinse.

In many cases, such as towels or functional textiles, the use of a fabric conditioner is undesirable or even unsuitable. For example, in the case of breathable functional textiles using conventional softeners with esterquats, the

Breathability are impaired. Many consumers do not use softeners on towels because the ester quats they contain reduce the absorbency and water absorption capacity of the towels. Nevertheless, consumers also want to give these things about the washing or rinsing a pleasant scent.

From WO 2007/1 15872 A1, therefore, solid textile-care textile treatment compositions are known which contain a perfume and can be used in the main wash cycle of a washing machine.

In addition to the transfer of fragrance to the laundry, there is also interest in combating bad odors.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a solid textile treatment agent with a perfume which is capable of controlling bad odors.

This object is achieved by a solid fragrance-providing composition comprising a water-soluble carrier, a water-soluble polymer, a bad-odor absorbing compound and a perfume, wherein the water-soluble carrier is in particulate form and at least partially a sheath of the water-soluble polymer, the Having a bad odor absorbing compound and the perfume.

Surprisingly, it has been found that bad-odor absorbing compounds can be incorporated stably into the enclosure of a water-soluble polymer. In addition, unlike traditional fabric softeners, hardly any undesirable interactions of the bad odor absorbing compound with the perfume, so that no change or only a slight change in the fragrance impression, especially when stored, the solid fragrance-promoting composition occurs.

Furthermore, it is advantageous that the solid, fragrance-imparting composition can be used in the wash cycle of a laundry cleaning process and so the perfume can already be transported directly to the laundry at the beginning of the washing process and so can develop its full potential. Furthermore, this solid composition is easier and better to handle than liquid compositions, since no drops remain on the edge of the bottle, which in the

subsequent storage of the bottle to edges on the ground or lead to unsightly deposits in the area of the closure. The same applies in the event that some of the composition is accidentally spilled during dosing. The spilled composition can also be removed easier and cleaner.

It is preferable that the water-soluble carrier is selected from the group consisting of inorganic alkali metal salts, organic alkali metal salts, inorganic

Alkaline earth metal salts, organic alkaline earth metal salts, organic acids, carbohydrates, silicates, urea and mixtures thereof. These materials are not only inexpensive, but dissolve very well in water. In addition, these materials are odorless or odorless.

It is advantageous that furthermore a washing-active compound is present at least partially in and / or at least partially on the casing.

Furthermore, it is preferred that the detergent-active compound of textile-softening compounds, bleaching agents, bleach activators, enzymes, builders, surfactants, silicone oils, anti redeposition agents, optical brighteners, grayness inhibitors, anti-shrink agents, anti-crease agents, color transfer inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, germicides, fungicides, antioxidants, antistatic agents , Ironing aids, repellents and impregnating agents, swelling and anti-slip agents, UV absorbers and mixtures thereof is selected.

The presence of a detergent-active compound allows the solid fragrance-providing composition to be easily extended to include additional functionalities such as textile-care properties, cleansing properties, water-softening properties, etc. Another advantage is that incompatible ingredients of detergents by distributing these ingredients to the detergent and the solid, fragrance-inducing

Composition can be dosed separately.

With the aid of pulverulent detergent-active compounds it is also possible to prevent aggregates or clumps from forming during production and / or storage.

It is particularly preferred that the detergent-active compound is a fabric softening compound. The fabric softening compound is preferably selected from polysiloxanes, fabric softening clays, cationic polymers and mixtures thereof.

The use of polysiloxanes and / or cationic polymers as the detergent-active compound in the fragrance-providing composition is advantageous because it does not provide only one

softening effect but also enhance the perfume impression on the linen. The use of softening clays as the detergent-active compound in the fragrance-providing composition is advantageous, since these additionally have a water-softening effect and thus limescale deposits on the laundry are prevented. In order to achieve optimum performance, it may be preferred that a scent-imparting composition contains a combination of at least two detergent-active, especially two fabric-softening, compounds.

It is preferred that the water-soluble polymer is selected from polyalkylene glycols, polyethylene terephthalates, polyvinyl alcohols, and mixtures thereof. These water-soluble polymers function as binders. It is also preferable that the bad odor absorbing compound is selected from the group consisting of α-cyclodextrin, α-cyclodextrin derivatives, β-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin derivatives, γ-cyclodextrin, γ-cyclodextrin derivatives, δ-cyclodextrin, δ-cyclodextrin derivatives and Zinc salts of d _ö Cioo fatty acids.

These bad-odor absorbing compounds can be well and stably incorporated into the enclosure. In particular, cyclodextrins and their derivatives are due to their cyclic structure effective bad odor absorbing compounds.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the perfume is at least partially contained in microcapsules.

The use of microcapsules has the advantage that not even during storage of the solid, fragrance-imparting composition large amounts of perfume by evaporation

volatile odorous substances are lost and are no longer available for the scenting of the textiles to be cleaned.

By using water-insoluble microcapsules, textiles treated with the solid fragrance-providing composition can provide a long-lasting fragrance. The water-insoluble microcapsules are opened or reamed by external influences, for example by mechanical rubbing or by pressure, so that release of the perfume results only as a result of such action, for example during wear or ironing. Another advantage of using such encapsulated perfume is that there are no undesirable interactions with the other ingredients of the solid fragrance-providing composition during storage and later in the wash liquor. The same applies to the use of the solid, fragrance-providing composition in a washing process for the ingredients contained in the wash liquor of a detergent.

To improve the performance and / or aesthetics of the fragrance-providing composition, it may contain additional ingredients, preferably selected from the group consisting of dyes, fillers, pearlescers, skin care compounds, bittering agents, and mixtures thereof.

In a preferred embodiment, the odoriferous composition contains 0.1 to 15% by weight, preferably 1 to 10% by weight and more preferably 2 to 7% by weight of perfume.

In conventional liquid softener compositions with quaternary

Ammonium compounds occurs at higher perfume concentration (> 0.4 wt% perfume for regular fabric softener compositions and> 1 wt% for concentrated

Softener compositions) a problem with the stability of the composition. at The fragrance-imparting compositions according to the invention can easily be incorporated with larger quantities (> 1% by weight) of perfume.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the detergent-active compound is at least partially incorporated into the casing. In this embodiment, the advantages described above (reduced to nonexistent tendency to clumping or

Agglomeration) particularly pronounced.

In an alternative embodiment, the wrapper or wrapper and the non-enveloped regions of the water-soluble carrier are at least partially coated with the detergent-active compound.

The invention also relates to the use of a solid fragrance-providing composition according to the invention for conditioning textile fabrics.

In addition, the present invention relates to a process for producing a solid fragrance-providing composition comprising a particulate water-soluble carrier, a water-soluble polymer, a malodor-absorbing compound, a detergent-active compound and a perfume in which the water-soluble polymer is melted in the molten state is mixed with the perfume and the bad odor absorbing compound, the resulting melt is added to the particulate carrier in such a way that it is at least partially enveloped and then incorporated into the still molten envelope, the detergent-active compound.

The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a solid, fragrance-transmitting

A composition comprising a particulate water-soluble carrier, a water-soluble polymer, a malodor-absorbing compound, a detergent-active compound and a perfume in which the water-soluble polymer is melted, mixed in the molten state with the perfume and the malodor-absorbing compound obtained Melt is added to the particulate carrier in such a way that it is at least partially enveloped and the at least partially coated particulate carrier with the detergent

Compound is coated.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent comprising a solid, fragrance-imparting composition according to the invention.

By introducing the fragrance-imparting composition according to the invention into a washing or cleaning agent, the consumer has access to a textile-refreshing washing or cleaning agent and he does not need to use two detergents or cleaners and textile fresheners. Likewise, a separate rinse is not necessary. Furthermore, do not have the washing or cleaning agent and the scent-inducing

Composition perfumed, but only the solid, fragrance-transmitting

Composition. Not only does this result in lower costs, it is also beneficial for consumers with sensitive skin and / or allergies.

In the following, the invention will be described in more detail, inter alia, by way of examples.

The solid scent-imparting composition contains as essential ingredients a water-soluble carrier, a water-soluble polymer, a malodour absorbing compound and a perfume.

An essential component of the fragrance-providing composition is the water-soluble carrier. This preferably includes inorganic alkali metal salts such as, for example

Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, potassium sulfate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, potassium hydrogencarbonate, sodium tetraborate or their mixtures, organic alkali metal salts such as sodium acetate, potassium acetate, sodium citrate, sodium tartrate or potassium sodium tartrate, inorganic alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride, organic alkaline earth metal salts such as Calcium lactate, carbohydrates, organic acids such as

Citric acid or tartaric acid, silicates such as water glass, sodium silicate or potassium silicate, urea and mixtures thereof. In particular, the water-soluble carrier may comprise a carbohydrate selected, for example, from the group consisting of dextrose, fructose, galactose, isoglucose, glucose, sucrose, raffinose, isomalt, xylitol, and mixtures thereof. The carbohydrate used is preferably sucrose and may be, for example, candy or hail sugar.

Carbohydrates as carriers have the advantage that they do not favor the corrosion of metallic components in automatic washing machines. Citric acid or sodium citrate as carriers have the advantage that the scent-imparting composition simultaneously has a builder for lowering the water hardness.

The water-soluble carrier may also contain mixtures of said materials.

It is preferred that the water-soluble carrier is particulate and has particle sizes in the range of 0.6 to 30 mm, in particular 0.8 to 7 mm and particularly preferably 1 to 3 mm. Fragrance-mediating compositions with particle sizes in the range from 0.8 to 7 mm and particularly preferably in the range from 1 to 3 mm can be metered particularly well and in a targeted manner. The solid, scent-imparting composition furthermore necessarily contains a bad-odor absorbing compound, which is preferably selected from the group consisting of α-cyclodextrin, α-cyclodextrin derivatives, β-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin derivatives, γ-cyclodextrin, γ-cyclodextrin derivatives, δ-cyclodextrin, δ-cyclodextrin derivatives, zinc salts of C Giiio fatty acids and mixtures thereof.

Cyclodextrins are a class of compounds belonging to the cyclic oligosaccharides. They are ring-shaped degradation products of starch. They consist of 6, 7, 8 or 9 o 1, 4-glycosidically linked glucose molecules. This creates a toroidal structure with a central cavity. Due to this molecular structure guest molecules can be trapped to saturation. The recording capacity and capacity depends on the respective size ratio guest molecule / cavity. Depending on the number of glucose molecules, the cyclodextrins are referred to as α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, γ-cyclodextrin or δ-cyclodextrin. Preferably, of the cited cyclodextrins, β-cyclodextrin and / or hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin are used in the solid fragrance-promoting composition. Suitable cyclodextrins are available, for example, under the names Cavamax® or Cavasol® (ex Wacker Chemie AG).

Alternatively, the zinc salts of Ci ₆ -C ₁₀ o fatty acids can be used. Suitable fatty acids may be unbranched or branched, unsaturated or saturated, and / or include one or more hydroxyl groups. In particular, zinc salts of abietic acid or zinc salts of saturated or unsaturated hydroxy acids, preferably zinc salts of ridnoleic acid, can be used as a bad odor absorbing compound. Alternatively, it is also possible to use mixtures of zinc ricinoleate with amino acids, in particular with lysine or L-arginine. Such zinc salts are commercially available, for example, under the trade names Tego® Sorb conc 50 or Tego® Sorb A 30 (ex Evonik).

Another ingredient of the fragrance-providing composition is the water-soluble polymer. Suitable water-soluble polymers preferably have a melting or softening point in the range of 48 ° C to 300 ° C and polyalkylene glycols, in particular

Polyethylene glycols, polyethylene terephthalates and / or polyvinyl alcohols. Most preferably, the water-soluble polymers have a melting or softening point in the range of 48 ° C to 120 ° C.

By melting point is meant the transition from a solid state to a liquid (free flowing) state. The softening temperature describes the transition from a solid state to a rubbery to viscous melt. The melting and softening temperatures may each be either a certain temperature or a smaller range within the range of 48 ° C to 300 ° C. Suitable polyalkylene glycols include in particular polyethylene glycols, which are liquid or solid polymers depending on the chain length. From a molecular weight of 3000 are the

Polyethylene glycols solid substances and are sold as dandruff or powder on the market. Hardness and melting range increase with increasing molecular weight. Preferred for the present invention are polyethylene glycols having an average molecular weight between 3,000 and 12,000, more preferably having an average molecular weight between 4,000 and 10,000, and most preferably having an average molecular weight between 6,000 and 8,000.

Polyethylene terephthalate is a polyester that is commercially available, for example, in crystalline (opaque white) as well as in amorphous (transparent) form. The melting point of crystalline

Polyethylene terephthalate is about 260 ° C. Polyethylene terephthalates are thermoformable as thermoplastics under heat in almost any shape. In addition, modified polyethylene terephthalates (such as blends with other polymers or

Polyethylene terephthalate with built-in foreign building blocks) can be used.

Polyvinyl alcohols are commercially available as white-yellowish powders or granules with degrees of polymerization in the range of about 500-2500 (molar masses of about 20,000 - 100,000 g / mol). The degree of hydrolysis is 98-99 or 87-89 mol% and thus the polyvinyl alcohols still contain a residual content of acetyl groups. The polyvinyl alcohols are characterized by the manufacturer by indicating the degree of polymerization of the starting polymer, the

Degree of hydrolysis and / or the saponification number. Fully saponified polyvinyl alcohols have a softening temperature of 85 ° C and a melting point of 228 ° C. The corresponding values for partially hydrolyzed (87-89%) products are significantly lower at approx. 58 ° C (softening point) or 186 ° C (melting point).

The water-soluble polymer may also contain a mixture of said materials. However, it is preferred that the scent-imparting composition comprises a polyalkylene glycol and, in particular, a polyethylene glycol as the water-soluble polymer.

Another essential ingredient of the fragrance-providing composition is the perfume. As perfume oils or fragrances, individual fragrance compounds, e.g. the synthetic products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol and hydrocarbon type are used. Preferably, however, mixtures of different fragrances are used, which together produce an attractive fragrance. Such perfume oils may also contain natural fragrance mixtures as are available from plant sources.

Alternatively, or in addition to the fragrances, the perfume may contain so-called fragrance precursor. A fragrance precursor is a compound which by breaking a chemical bond, for example by hydrolysis, a desired odor and / or Fragrance molecule releases. Typically, to form a perfume precursor, a desired fragrance raw material is chemically combined with a carrier, preferably a slightly volatile or moderately volatile carrier. The combination results in a less volatile and more hydrophobic perfume precursor with improved attachment to textiles. The fragrance is then released by breaking the bond between the fragrance raw material and the carrier, for example, by a change in pH (eg, by perspiration upon wear), humidity, heat, and / or sunlight during storage or drying on the skin Clothes line.

The perfume raw material for use in perfume precursors are typically saturated or unsaturated volatile compounds containing an alcohol, an aldehyde and / or a ketone group.

In a preferred embodiment, at least part of the perfume is present in encapsulated form, in particular in microcapsules. The perfume microcapsules are preferably completely in the enclosure of the water-soluble polymer. The microcapsules may be water-soluble and / or water-insoluble microcapsules. For example, melamine-urea-formaldehyde microcapsules, melamine-formaldehyde microcapsules, urea-formaldehyde microcapsules or starch microcapsules can be used. It is preferred that the perfume be completely in microencapsulated form. Preferably, melamine-urea-formaldehyde microcapsules or melamine-formaldehyde microcapsules or urea-formaldehyde microcapsules available from 3M Corporation or BASF are used. Preferably usable microcapsules have average diameters in the range of preferably between 5 and 150 μιτι, in particular between 10 and 100 μιτι on. The core or (filled) cavity enclosing shell of the microcapsules has an average thickness in the range between about 0.1 μιτι and about 30 μιτι, in particular between about 0.5 μιτι and about 8 μιτι.

The amount of perfume in the odor-promoting composition is preferably between 0.01 and 15% by weight, particularly preferably between 0.05 and 10% by weight and very particularly preferably between 0.1 and 7% by weight. ,

If the solid odoriferous composition contains microcapsules, these are used in the form of a powder, an aqueous preparation or a granulate. The amount of microcapsules in the aqueous preparation is preferably between 39 and 45 wt .-%, based on the total aqueous preparation. The microcapsules themselves have a loading of perfume in the amount of 30 to 35 wt .-%. To prepare a microcapsule-containing granules, an aqueous preparation with the microcapsules with a suitable granulation aid,

For example, silica, granulated at room temperature in a mixer. The ratio of granulation to aqueous preparation is from 80:20 to 20:80. The term "amount of perfume" when using perfume microcapsules does not refer to the amount of perfume-loaded microcapsules, but to the amount of perfume that is (in total) in the microcapsules.

In a most preferred embodiment of the invention, the solid, fragrance-promoting composition further contains at least one detergent-active compound. In this context, a washing-active compound is understood to mean a compound which either exerts a beneficial effect on the actual washing process, such as a water-softening effect, exerts or contributes to a cleaning effect on the treated textiles, for example surfactants, bleaching agents or bleach activators, or has a textile-care effect.

In this context, a textile-care effect is any direct advantageous effect of a compound, such as a textile-softening effect or

Crease resistance as well as any reduction of harmful or negative effects that occur during

Cleaning and / or conditioning and / or wearing may occur, such as

Fading, graying, etc., understood.

The textile-care compound may include, for example, fabric softening compounds, enzymes, silicone oils, soil release polymers, optical brighteners, grayness inhibitors,

Anti-shrinkage agents, anti-wrinkling agents, color transfer inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, germicides, fungicides, antioxidants, antistatic agents, ironing aids, repellents and impregnating agents, swelling and anti-slip agents, UV absorbers and mixtures thereof. Specific examples of these detergent-active compounds can be found in part in the description of the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention and can also be used in the solid, fragrance-promoting composition.

In a most preferred embodiment, the detergent-active compound is a fabric softening compound. This is for example a polysiloxane, a fabric softening clay, a cationic polymer or a mixture of at least two of these textile softening compounds.

For the preparation of a solid fragrance-providing composition comprising a particulate, water-soluble carrier, a water-soluble polymer, a malodor-absorbing

Compound and a perfume, the water-soluble polymer is first melted and mixed in the molten state with the perfume and the bad odor absorbing compound. The melt obtained is added to the particulate carrier in such a way that it is at least partially enveloped

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the solid, fragrance-transmitting

A composition comprising a particulate, water-soluble carrier, a water-soluble polymer, a malodor-absorbing compound, a powdery detergent-active compound and a perfume, wherein the water-soluble carrier is in particulate form and at least partially a sheath of the water-soluble polymer, the bad-odor absorbing compound and having the perfume and wherein in the envelope, the powdery, detergent-active compound is incorporated. To prepare such a solid fragrance-providing composition, the water-soluble polymer is first melted and mixed in the molten state with the perfume and the malodor-absorbing compound. The melt obtained is added to the particulate carrier in such a way that it is at least partially coated, and then the pulverulent, wash-active compound is incorporated into the still molten casing. The pulverulent, washing-active compound is preferably incorporated completely into the casing. Alternatively, however, it is also possible for a large proportion of the pulverulent, wash-active compound to be on the surface of the casing.

In an alternative embodiment, the solid fragrance-providing composition comprises a water-soluble carrier, a water-soluble polymer, a malodor-absorbing compound, a powdery detergent-active compound and a perfume, wherein the

water-soluble carrier in particulate form and at least partially having a coating of the water-soluble polymer, the bad-odor absorbing compound and the perfume, and wherein the wrapper or wrapper and the non-enveloped regions of the water-soluble carrier are at least partially coated with the detergent-active compound; are.

To prepare such a solid fragrance-providing composition, the water-soluble polymer is first melted and mixed in the molten state with the perfume and the malodor-absorbing compound. The resulting melt is placed on the particulate carrier such that it is at least partially enveloped, and then the wrapper or sheath and the non-enveloped portions of the water-soluble carrier are at least partially coated with the powdery detergent-active compound.

It is preferred in both embodiments that the particulate carrier is completely enveloped.

It may be preferred that the powdery, wash-active compound is used in a mixture with other auxiliary compounds. The further adjuvant compounds include, for example, polysaccharides, silicic acids, zeolites, titanium dioxide or mixtures thereof.

Suitable polysaccharides include, in particular, cellulose or a cellulose derivative. Due to the addition of polysaccharides, such encapsulated, fragrance-transmitting compositions neither clump or aggravate tendencies during production nor during storage

agglomerate. Additionally, such coated particles are more flowable. Furthermore, it has been shown that the freshly prepared particles can be filled at higher final product temperatures, resulting in shorter production times. In addition, such enveloped fragrance-providing compositions retain their crystalline appearance longer. It is preferred that the washing-active

Compound is a bentonite and the polysaccharide is a cellulose derivative. Most preferably, the cellulose derivative is a Ν, Ν, Ν-trialkylaminohydroxyalkyl quaternized hydroxyethyl cellulose, a Ν, Ν, Ν-trialkylaminohydroxyalkyl-quaternized hydroxypropylcellulose, a carboxymethylcellulose, a methylhydroxypropylcellulose, a hydroxyethylcellulose, an N, N-dialkylaminoalkyl-substituted cellulose derivative or a methylcellulose.

Zeolites, titanium dioxide and silicic acids are used on the one hand as "granulation aids" in the coating of the particulate carrier with the water-soluble polymer, the perfume, the

Bad-odor absorbing compound and possibly other ingredients used. On the other hand, in particular, the use of zeolites and / or titanium dioxide leads to aesthetically pleasing, solid, fragrance-transmitting composition in the form of white crystals.

It may be preferred that the solid odoriferous composition alternatively or in addition to a fabric softening compound contains as a detergent active a surfactant, a builder, a color transfer inhibitor, an enzyme and / or a soil release polymer as the detergent active compound. It has surprisingly been found that the

Presence of citric acid and / or sodium citrate in the enclosure causes a stabilization of the dyes and especially in blue or red colored solid, fragrance-providing compositions, a color change in storage can be prevented or at least delayed. The presence of surfactants can increase the cleaning performance during the washing process. Likewise, for example, by the presence of a color transfer inhibitor (for example, polyvinylpyrrolidone or copolymers of

Vinylpyrrolidone and vinylimidazole), an enzyme and / or a soil release polymer (for example, cellulose ethers or linear, hydrophilic, optionally sulfonated polyethylene terephthalate polyoxyethylene terephthalate block copolymers) the solid, fragrance-providing composition in a simple and fast manner to further, for the textile treatment advantageous functionalities are supplemented.

The scent-imparting composition is particularly suitable for conditioning textile fabrics and is used together with a conventional washing or

Detergent in the (main) wash of a conventional washing and cleaning process brought into contact with the fabrics.

The fragrance-providing composition can be incorporated into a detergent or cleaning agent.

For this purpose, a solid detergent or cleaning agent with 1 to 20 wt .-%, preferably 5 to 15 wt .-%, of the fragrance-imparting composition according to the invention is mixed.

The detergents or cleaners according to the invention contain surfactant (s) in addition to the fragrance-promoting composition, anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic and / or Amphoteric surfactants can be used. From an application point of view, preference is given to mixtures of anionic and nonionic surfactants. The total surfactant content of a detergent is preferably below 40% by weight and more preferably below 35% by weight, based on the total washing or cleaning agent.

The nonionic surfactants used are preferably alkoxylated, advantageously ethoxylated, in particular primary, alcohols having preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms and on average 1 to 12 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) per mole of alcohol, in which the alcohol radical can be linear or preferably methyl-branched in the 2-position or linear and methyl-branched radicals in the mixture can contain, as they are usually present in Oxoalkoholresten. In particular, however, alcohol ethoxylates with linear radicals of alcohols of native origin having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, for example of coconut, palm, tallow or oleyl alcohol, and on average 2 to 8 EO per mole of alcohol are preferred.

In addition, as further nonionic surfactants also alkyl glycosides,

As anionic surfactants, for example, those of the sulfonate type and sulfates are used. Suitable surfactants of the sulfonate type are preferably C ₉ .i ₃ -alkylbenzenesulfonates, olefinsulfonates, ie mixtures of alkene and hydroxyalkanesulfonates and also disulfonates. Also suitable are alkanesulfonates. Also suitable are the esters of α-sulfo fatty acids (ester sulfonates), for example the α-sulfonated methyl esters of hydrogenated coconut, palm kernel or tallow fatty acids. Further suitable anionic surfactants are sulfated fatty acid glycerol esters. Alk (en) ylsulfates are the alkali metal and in particular the sodium salts of

Sulfuric acid half esters of Ci ₂ -Ci ₈ fatty alcohols are preferred. Also, the sulfuric acid monoesters of straight-chain or branched C ₇ ethoxylated with 1 to 6 moles of ethylene oxide. ₂ i-alcohols, such as 2-methyl-branched Cg-n-alcohols having on average 3.5 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) or C12-18 fatty alcohols having 1 to 4 EO, are suitable.

Other suitable anionic surfactants are the salts of alkylsulfosuccinic acid and the

Monoesters and / or diesters of sulfosuccinic acid with alcohols, preferably fatty alcohols and in particular ethoxylated fatty alcohols.

Particularly preferred anionic surfactants are soaps. Suitable are saturated and unsaturated fatty acid soaps, such as the salts of lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, Stearic acid, (hydrogenated) erucic acid and behenic acid, and in particular derived from natural fatty acids, for example coconut, palm kernel, olive oil or tallow fatty acids

Soap mixtures.

The anionic surfactants, including the soaps, may be in the form of their sodium, potassium or ammonium salts and as soluble salts of organic bases, such as mono-, di- or triethanolamine. The anionic surfactants are preferably present in the form of their sodium or potassium salts, in particular in the form of the sodium salts.

The content of preferred detergents or cleaning agents to anionic surfactants is 2 to 30 wt .-%, preferably 4 to 25 wt .-% and in particular 5 to 22 wt .-%, each based on the total washing or cleaning agent. However, for example, if the fragrance-imparting composition contains a cationic polymer, it may be advantageous for the detergent to contain only nonionic surfactants.

In addition to the fragrance-providing composition and the surfactants, the detergents or cleaning agents may contain further ingredients which further improve the performance and / or aesthetic properties of the washing or cleaning agent. In the context of the present invention, preferred washing or cleaning agents additionally contain one or more substances from the group of builders, bleaches, bleach activators, enzymes, perfumes, perfume carriers, fluorescers, dyes, foam inhibitors, silicone oils, anti redeposition agents, optical brighteners, grayness inhibitors, anti-shrinkage agents, anti-crease agents .

Suitable builders which may be present in the detergents or cleaners are in particular silicates, aluminum silicates (in particular zeolites), carbonates, salts of organic di- and polycarboxylic acids and mixtures of these substances.

Organic builders that may be present in the detergent or cleaning agent include polycarboxylate polymers such as polyacrylates and acrylic acid / maleic acid copolymers, polyaspartates and monomeric polycarboxylates such as citrates, gluconates, succinates or malonates, which are preferably used as sodium salts.

Among the compounds serving as bleaches in water H ₂ O ₂ , sodium perborate tetrahydrate and sodium perborate monohydrate are of particular importance. Further useful bleaching agents are, for example, sodium percarbonate, peroxypyrophosphates,

Citrate perhydrates and H ₂ O ₂ -forming peracidic salts or peracids, such as perbenzoates,

Peroxophthalates, diperazelaic acid, phthaloiminoperacid or diperdodecanedioic acid. In order to achieve an improved bleaching effect when washing at temperatures of 60 ° C and below, bleach activators can be incorporated into the detergents or cleaners. In addition to or in place of the conventional bleach activators, so-called bleach catalysts can also be incorporated into the detergents or cleaners.

The washing or cleaning agent may contain enzymes in encapsulated form and / or directly in the washing or cleaning agent. Suitable enzymes include, in particular, those from the classes of the hydrolases, such as the proteases, esterases, lipases or lipolytic enzymes, amylases, cellulases or other glycosyl hydrolases, hemicellulases, cutinases, β-glucanases, oxidases, peroxidases, mannanases, perhydrolases, pectinases and / or laccases and mixtures of said enzymes in question.

Aqueous preparation with 40 wt .-% melamine-formaldehyde microcapsules with an outer capsule size D (90) from 20 to 50 μιτι and a perfume loading of 34%.

The perfume and the free perfume used in the microcapsules were identical.

To prepare the scent-inducing compositions E1 to E6 according to the invention, the polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 8,000 (PEG 8000) was melted and the perfume or perfume capsules, the β-cyclodextrin and the dye and the nonionic surfactant were added to the melt available, given. Subsequently, the colored melt was added to the sucrose crystals and the coated sucrose crystals were powdered while stirring with the bentonite powder or a mixture of the bentonite powder with zeolite, trisodium citrate and / or silica, while the melt of PEG 8000, Perfume, ß-cyclodextrin and dye had not completely solidified. The compositions E1 to E6 all had a clear, crystalline appearance when freshly prepared.

The fragrance-providing compositions E1 to E6 showed a very good dissolution behavior when in contact with water and, in comparison with water, a softening effect with respect to fabrics treated therewith.

To determine the storage stability, the solid fragrance-transmitting compositions E1 to E6 were stored in electronically controlled heating chambers. The storage time at 40 ° C was 4 weeks and at 23 ° C for 12 weeks. This was followed by visual and olfactory matching of the compositions.

The compositions E1 to E6 after storage at 23 ° C still showed a clear appearance and no color change. The compositions E1 to E3 and E5 had little color changes, while the color of the composition E4 was unchanged and the color of the composition E6 was significantly changed (weaker).

The compositions E1 to E5, in contrast to the composition E6 after storage showed an unchanged fragrance profile. The composition E6 showed a slight change in the odor profile, which was only perceived by trained test persons.

To determine the bad odor eliminating fabrics were in a domestic washing process (Miele W918, 60 minutes in the main wash cycle at 30 ⁰ and 3.5 kg of pre-washed cotton fabric loading) treated with the solid fragrance-imparting compositions E1 to E6. After drying in room air, the aspects of fragrance intensity and

Bad odor elimination from a trained panel (at least 8 people) rated blind on a scale of 1 to 7 (no odor or no bad odor removal to intense odor or strong bad odor elimination).

The fragrance intensity of composition E6 was rated as 3.3 after 4 weeks of storage at 40 ° C while compositions E1 to E5 were rated between 5.6 and 6.8. The malodour removal of composition E6 was rated 3.2 after 4 weeks of storage at 40 ° C, while compositions E1 to E5 were rated between 5.5 and 5.9.

Thus, all the compositions E1 to E6 of the present invention exhibited a bad odor eliminating effect, which was markedly stronger in the encapsulated perfume compositions. To prepare a washing or cleaning agent according to the invention, a solid, unscented washing or cleaning agent was mixed with 15% by weight (based on the total amount of finished washing or cleaning agent) of the fragrance-imparting composition E1.

The washing or cleaning agent according to the invention showed good cleaning and

conditioning properties.

Lime deposits on the laundry and / or were neither introduced separately in a washing or cleaning agent with separate use of the textile-care compound

Deposits / residues observed in the wash-in chamber of the washing machines.
