Definitions

  • This invention relates to structured aqueous detergent liquid compositions comprising water, surfactant, external structurant and enzymes, the external structurant provides rheological modification to the composition and may suspend insoluble particles in the liquid.
  • liquid detergents in a concentrated form. This saves on packaging, transport costs and production energy.
  • a concentrated aqueous laundry detergent liquid is used to reduce the amount of chemicals per wash. This is achieved, without loss of detergency, by reduction of the amount of surfactant used per wash and use, in its place, of highly weight efficient enzymes and polymers to boost detergency on everyday dirt and stains.
  • Preferred compositions use enzymes and combinations of high levels of ethoxylated polyethyleneimine polymer and polyester soil release polymer. Cellulase and pectate lyase are taught as suitable enzymes for inclusion in these compositions.
  • the structurant can convey the idea of concentration by increasing low shear viscosity whilst allowing the composition to flow freely when poured.
  • Insoluble particles can be suspended in such liquids to further reinforce the concentration message, for example the liquid can be pearlised by inclusion of mica particles, silver containing particles or titanium dioxide particles.
  • the external structurant should be capable of suspending these particles, working either alone, or in combination with another rheology modifying system.
  • External structurants are also useful for less concentrated aqueous cleaning liquids.
  • surfactant in excess of that required for detergency is often used for thickening and rheology modification. This is undesirable from an environmental standpoint, not only is more chemical sent to waste but frequently the excess surfactant causes the utilisation of more rinse water, which is a big issue when water is a scarce resource.
  • HCO hydrogenated castor oil
  • Thixcin® is sold under the trade name Thixcin® by Elementis.
  • HCO is derived from chemical modification of a plant extract. Then the HCO is converted into an external structurant by crystallising it in the liquid, or in part of the liquid. This crystallisation process may impose formulation constraints, especially when using high surfactant levels. HCO structured liquids are slightly cloudy, which is undesirable when visual cues are suspended in the liquid. Because the HCO structurant is formed by cooling, its performance is reduced if the liquid is subjected to extreme temperatures, either in the supply chain, or in the hands of consumers.
  • MFC microfibrous cellulose
  • US patent application US2007/0197779 discloses a structurant consisting of bacterially produced MFC combined with significant levels of carboxy methylcellulose and xanthan gum as dispersion aids.
  • the MFC forms a 3-D network structure, which can suspend inert materials such as sand and nylon beads.
  • the xanthan gum part of the dispersant is not a desirable ingredient for many detergent liquids. It poses constraints for inclusion of enzymes that can decompose xanthan gum. Furthermore it can have an undesirable effect in combination with cleaning and soil release polymers.
  • Such polymers are proposed to be used at high concentrations in the detergent liquids described in WO09/153184 . Thus MFC is not a good choice for the external structuring of such detergent liquids with high levels of polymers.
  • compositions comprising MFC structurant.
  • Exemplary compositions contain enzymes; a list of suitable enzymes is given on page 29.
  • the preferred enzyme mixture includes cellulase.
  • use of cellulases with MFC reduce its suspending power and adversely affect the rheological modification imparted by the MFC.
  • MFC requires the presence of relatively high levels of surfactant to provide effective rheological modification. It would be desirable to find an alternative external structurant that would also perform at low surfactant levels and that would be compatible with a wide range of cellulase enzymes.
  • MFC forms nanofibres in concentrated aqueous detergent liquids. Uncertainties exist in scientific understanding of the impacts of such fibres, and associated public perception. For this reason, and because of the other disadvantages of MFC outlined previously, the skilled worker desires to find a better substitute for HCO than MFC appears to be.
  • US2004/0086626 describes an improved method for refining cellulose that produces a highly refined cellulosic (HRC) material.
  • the method comprises soaking raw material from primarily parenchymal cell wall structures in an aqueous solution, using reduced temperatures and pressures, and refining the material with a plate refiner. After drying the resulting HRC fibre displays a water retention capacity of about 25 to at least about 56 g water/g dry HRC and retains moisture under conditions that are ordinarily used to remove moisture from materials.
  • the publication suggests that the HRC fibre product can also provide excellent thickening properties and may be used in a wide variety of materials, including edible materials. Thickening and suspending properties are particularly attributed to fibres provided by sugar beets. Orange pulps are used in several examples.
  • the main use envisaged for this product is as a food additive.
  • the dried HRC product may be rehydrated by the use of a high shear mixer to disperse organic fibre plant mass materials rapidly into solution.
  • Other uses mentioned are industrial thickeners, as in paint thickeners, stain thickeners, coating thickeners, and the like.
  • US 7981855 discloses enzyme free liquid surfactant compositions comprising up to 15 wt% surfactant, including at least 1% anionic surfactant, up to 2 wt% bacterial cellulose (preferably MFC) and from 0.001 to 5 wt% citrus fibres.
  • Apple fibres are available for example as "Herbacel AQ plus apple fibre", from Herba Foods.
  • a structured aqueous liquid detergent composition comprising:
  • the composition comprises 0.16 to 0.35 wt% pulped apple fibre.
  • the composition may have a yield stress greater than 0.2 Pa.
  • Apple fibre is derived from apple fruit; a preferred apple fibre is HERBACEL AQ Plus which, according to the supplier, is made from harvest-fresh dejuiced (and de-oiled) and carefully dried apples. Non-fibrous compounds such as plant-specific sugars, colouring and aroma components are carefully removed during several washing steps, whereby the natural cell wall structure is practically maintained in the HERBACEL AQ Plus apple fibre.
  • the apple fruit material is pulped by subjecting it to high shear and the pulped material is referred to as pulped apple fibre (PAF).
  • pulped apple fibres are capable of absorbing and binding a high amount of water, preferably at least 10 times their own weight of water, most preferably at least 15 times.
  • a grade of apple fibre that has its water absorbing capacity further increased by pulping is preferred.
  • the amount of pulped apple fibre required to deliver an acceptably high critical stress in the final liquid is at least 0.15 wt%, preferably at least 0.2 wt%, more preferably at least 0.25 wt%.
  • the composition comprises cellulase.
  • the preferred amount of cellulase is from 0.0001 to 5 wt%, even more preferably from 0.001 to 0.3 wt% active enzyme.
  • the external structurant is a pulped apple fibre which has undergone a mechanical treatment comprising a step of high intensity mixing in water and which material has consequently absorbed at least 10 times its own dry weight of water, preferably at least 15 times its own weight, in order to swell it. It may be derived by an environmentally friendly process from an apple fruit processing waste stream. This makes it more sustainable than many of the prior art external structurants. Furthermore, it requires no additional chemicals to aid its dispersal and it can be made as a structured premix to allow process flexibility.
  • Pulped apple fibre is much less expensive to produce than bacterial cellulose because its processing is simpler and it may be made from a waste stream, e.g. from fruit juice production. Over very long periods of storage (6 months) detergents structured with pulped apple fibre have been found to retain their rheology even better than corresponding detergents structured with pulped citrus fibre.
  • the apple fibre is mechanically pulped by processing it to make a premix, preferably in combination with preservative. This is done by adding dried powdered apple fibre to at least 10 times its own weight of water and dispersing it under very high shear to further break up the apple fibres and to begin the process of hydration, or swelling.
  • the mechanically treated apple fibre or pulped apple fibre is left in contact with the water for sufficient time for it to swell due it being fully hydrated. This can be several hours.
  • pulped apple fibre is kept separate from surfactant until it is fully swollen. This avoids the possibility for the surfactant to compete with the pulped apple fibre for the water.
  • the very high shear may be provided by a high intensity mixer such as a Silverson mixer, or by means of a High-pressure homogeniser.
  • the amount of pulped apple fibre in the premix is preferably from 1 to 5 wt%. More preferably from 2 to 4 wt%. Depending on the processing equipment used there may be a practical upper limit of from 3.3 to 3.5 wt% as it is advantageous that there is excess water in order to fully hydrate the pulped apple fibre.
  • Pulped apple fibre is complex and heterogeneous; it includes both soluble and insoluble cellular materials, which is shown to give rise to a distinctive network of 'sponges' of varying size and geometry in contrast to MFC's essentially fibrous network. Possibly due in part to this structural difference, one advantage we have found for pulped apple fibre externally structured liquid formulations is its compatibility with enzymes. In particular, cellulases, which appear to have some destabilising effect on MFC.
  • Cellulase and / or pectate lyase is an essential feature of the structured aqueous liquid detergent compositions of the invention.
  • Modern detergent compositions desirably comprise cellulase, for cleaning and / or for garment care benefits.
  • Pectate lyase may be included to assist with the removal of fruit stains, for example tomato.
  • Cellulases should preferably be formulated at a pH where their activity is low. Typically this is an alkaline pH, although mildly acidic conditions of down to pH 6.5 or even as low as pH 6.2 can be tolerated.
  • An advantage of pulped apple fibre over bacterially derived microfibrous cellulose as an external structurant is that due to its lower cost and lower efficacy as a structurant the pulped apple fibre may be incorporated at much higher levels than MFC. This may further improve the resistance to destabilisation of the structuring system due to attack from cellulase in the composition.
  • Pulped apple fibre provides a stable external structuring network in the presence of endoglucanase, which enables addition of this cellulase to a structured aqueous liquid either on its own, or more preferably in combination with other enzymes.
  • the structuring system was robust in the presence of pectate lyase, an enzyme that breaks down pectin. It is thought that although the pectin is broken down this makes little or no difference to the rheology.
  • the level of pectate lyase is from 0.0001 to 5 wt%, even more preferably from 0.001 to 0.3 wt% active enzyme.
  • cellulases help to break down many food residues.
  • the surfactant type is not limited. Synthetic detergents are preferred. Mixtures of synthetic anionic and nonionic surfactants, or wholly anionic surfactant system or admixtures of anionic surfactants with nonionic surfactants or with amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants may be used. It is preferred for the composition to comprise anionic (non-soap) surfactant. Particularly preferred surfactant systems are mixtures of the anionic surfactants linear alkyl benzene sulphonate and sodium lauryl ether sulphate with the nonionic surfactant ethoxylated nonionic fatty alcohol. Amphoteric surfactants, including preferably betaines, especially carbobetaines, or amine oxides are advantageously used as a cosurfactant.
  • the amount of surfactant may range from 0.5 to 65 wt%, preferably 2.5 to 60 wt%, more preferably from 25 to 50 wt%.
  • the skilled worker will appreciate that the optimum surfactant concentration will largely depend on the product type and the intended mode of use.
  • the amount of external structurant is important. Because it is added to the remainder of the ingredients in admixture with around 20 times its weight of water, it is important to keep the amount of structurant to a minimum. Below 0.15 wt%, pulped apple fibre fails to provide adequate structuring. The precise lower limit depends to some extent on the remainder of the composition; the skilled worker will know that the aim is to obtain a system in which the rheology exhibits a critical yield stress. To ensure adequate suspending duty it is preferred that the amount of pulped apple fibre is at least 0.2 wt%.
  • the structured liquid is shear thinning. The preferred pouring viscosity being from 20 - 100 mPa.s and the yield stress or critical stress being about 0.3 Pa.
  • the composition may optionally comprise suspended solid material.
  • the solid material may be microcapsules such as perfume encapsulates, or care additives in encapsulated form. It may alternatively, or additionally, take the form of insoluble ingredients such as silicones, quaternary ammonium materials, insoluble polymers, insoluble optical brighteners and other known benefit agents found, for example, in EP1328616 .
  • the solid material may be an abrasive.
  • the amount of suspended solid material may be from 0.001 to up to 10 or even 20 wt%.
  • a particular solid material to be suspended is a visual cue, for example the type of flat film cue described in EP13119706 . The cue may itself contain a segregated component of the composition.
  • the cue must be water-soluble, yet insoluble in the composition, it is conveniently made from a modified polyvinyl alcohol that is insoluble in the presence of anionic surfactant.
  • the detergent composition should comprise some anionic surfactant, preferably at least 5 wt% anionic surfactant.
  • a pulped apple fibre structured detergent liquid comprising at least 0.15 wt% pulped apple fibre structurant and at least 0.5 wt% surfactant, the process comprising the steps of:
  • the detergent liquid in step (d) contains citrate builder.
  • the liquid comprises 1 to 20 wt% hydrotropes. If the liquid is to be clear it desirably comprises no opacifier or pearliser. It may, however, comprise colorant.
  • the dispersal step (d) requires no addition of further dispersal aids to the premix formed in step (c).
  • a preservative is added to the premix during or after step (c), particularly if the premix will be stored for some time before addition to the detergent liquid.
  • the externally structured detergent liquid compositions comprising cellulase and /or pectate lyase are useful for a wide range of cleaning purposes, including laundry, machine and hand wash, hard surface cleaning, including machine and hand dish wash and other household cleaning applications, for example surface care including kitchen, bathroom and general purpose cleaning.
  • the externally structured liquid may advantageously be used as a liquid laundry detergent composition, concentrated or dilute, contained in bottle or unit dose formats, for example sachets, or hand dishwashing compositions.
  • Other compositions that are used neat, including laundry liquids used for pre-treatment and hard surface cleaning compositions of the type that are applied from a spray or pump may also be structured with this external structurant as low levels of surfactant can be structured.
  • the externally structured enzyme containing compositions are suitable for hand contact after dilution uses, such as hand dishwashing and hand laundry.
  • Laundry detergents are generally classified as low foam, used in automatic washing machines, and high foam, used in hand wash and top loading washing machines.
  • the pulped apple fibre is suitable for both.
  • the level of pulped apple fibre in the premix preferably lies in the range 1 to 2.5 wt%.
  • the amount of pulped apple fibre preferably lies in the range of 0.15 wt% to 0.7 wt%, more preferably 0.2 to 0.35 wt%.
  • apple fibre A preferred grade of apple fibre is available under the name "Herbacel AQ plus apple fibre", ex Herba Foods. This apple fibre is supplied as a fine dried powder with low colour and has a high water binding capacity of >10 kg water per kg of powder.
  • the dispersed pulped apple fibre is biodegradable, it is advantageous to include a preservative into the premix. In any case, a preservative is normally needed in the liquid detergent composition.
  • the refining process may entail soaking the fibres in NaOH ( ⁇ 1%), draining and standing to soften, before shearing, refining and & drying. Dried materials may be relatively large > 100 micron. After milling a powdered apple fibre material is obtained. The refining process leaves much of the natural cell wall intact. The resulting highly swelling apple fibre materials are typically used as food additives.
  • the apple fibre as supplied does not contain polymeric or other dispersants that are commonly found at high levels in other external structurants including MFC.
  • CP Kelco MFC is a combination of fibre (60%) with other swelling polymers (40%), such as xanthan, to make it easier to disperse.
  • other swelling polymers 40%
  • xanthan xanthan
  • the absence of such polymers may avoid negative sensorial attributes such as sliminess or stickiness.
  • the absence of any additional polymers or gums ensures the required rheology of the pulped apple fibre as an external structurant. It also makes this external structurant highly compatible with other polymers or thickeners that may be included into the composition.
  • soil release polymers for example those designed to release dirt from polyester fabrics
  • cleaning polymers for example ethoxylated polyethylene imines, especially PEI 600 20 EO (EPEI): a polyethylene imine with a Mwt of the polymer backbone of approximately 600 and an average of 20 moles of ethylene oxide for each Nitrogen.
  • EPEI ethoxylated polyethylene imines
  • the powdered apple fibre material Before it can be used as an external structurant it is necessary to process the powdered apple fibre material as supplied to break it down to be more space filling. This is done by dispersing it at a low concentration into water under high shear conditions to form a structuring premix. A preservative may usefully be added at this stage.
  • This high shear dispersal opens out the structure to increase the phase volume. The shear should not be so high as to lead to defibrillation. If a high-pressure homogeniser is used it should be operated between 200 and 600 bar. The more shear that is applied the less dense the resulting particles. Whilst the morphology is changed by the high shear, process aggregate size appears not to be changed. At high pressure, the fibres break down and then fill the water phase. The high shear also forms fibrils by rubbing loose the outer parts of the cell walls and these are able to form a matrix that structures the water outside of the volume of the original fibre.
  • the shear needed to form a pulped apple fibre structuring premix may alternatively be supplied by a high shear mixer, such as a Silverson.
  • a high shear mixer such as a Silverson.
  • One possible process passes the premix through several sequential high-shear mixing stages in order to ensure full hydration and dispersal of the apple fibre to form the pulped apple fibre dispersion.
  • the premix can then simply be added to a partially, or formed detergent liquid premix with the surfactant and other components of the liquid detergent composition already admixed.
  • Ingredients that would be held back at this stage are perfume, enzymes, including the cellulase and / or pectate lyase, and any insoluble particulate material that will be suspended by the external structurant.
  • Such post-dosed materials are added later to the structured liquid, under low shear mixing conditions.
  • pulped apple fibre Dispersed as an external structurant in the liquid detergent product, pulped apple fibre has a distinctive appearance, which can reinforce the impression of a highly concentrated liquid without need to resort to suspended mica or other visual cues that add non-functional chemicals to the detergent liquid.
  • Pulped apple fibre benefits from air free processing as this improves the stability of the resulting liquids, especially to bottom clear layer separation. This has been demonstrated successfully for 35 ml (so called 3x) and 20 ml (so called 5x) dose liquids for European sized washing machines (typically 7 to10 litres fill). Microfibrous cellulose (MFC) has proved extremely difficult to process in a way that prevents bottom clear layer separation for the 20 ml dose liquids.
  • MFC Microfibrous cellulose
  • the structurant is typically dispersed at very high shear to break up the insoluble fibres and to increase phase volume of the structuring system by maximising break up and contact with anhydrous structuring material.
  • the premix may be left to hydrate further (age) after the high shear mixing.
  • the concentration of pulped apple fibre in the premix depends on the ability of the equipment to deal with the higher viscosity due to higher concentrations.
  • the minimum will preferably be at least 1 wt% for practical reasons.
  • the process gives a stable detergent product with sufficient critical stress, 0.3 Pa, to suspend insoluble particulate material and suspend itself to give minimal top clear layer separation.
  • the pulped apple fibre structurant will structure any type of surfactant containing detergent liquid.
  • surfactants assist in removing soil from the textile materials or from hard surfaces and assist in maintaining removed soil in solution or suspension in water.
  • anionic and/or nonionic surfactants are preferred, more preferably provided in a calcium tolerant blend.
  • Linear alkyl benzene sulphonate (LAS) used on its own is generally calcium intolerant.
  • surfactant systems should generally avoid having levels of LAS above 90 wt%.
  • Nonionic-free systems with 95 wt% LAS can be made if some zwitterionic surfactant, such as carbobetaine, is present.
  • an advantage of the use of pulped apple fibre over HCO is that it is not necessary to have high levels of nonionic surfactant in the composition.
  • HCO is often added to the mix from a solution in nonionic surfactant and this is therefore limiting for the composition. It is desirable to include only low levels of nonionic, or even to eliminate this component, from detergent compositions designed for high foaming applications.
  • such compositions structured with pulped apple fibre may comprise less than 2 wt%, preferably less than 1 wt%, even zero, nonionic surfactant.
  • Anionic surfactants include sulphates and sulphonates.
  • Preferred alkyl ether sulphates are C 8 -C 15 alkyl and have 1-10 moles of ethoxylation.
  • Preferred sulphonates are alkylbenzene sulphonates, particularly linear alkylbenzene sulphonates having an alkyl chain length of C 8 -C 15 .
  • the counter ion for anionic surfactants is generally an alkali metal, typically sodium, although other counterions such as MEA, TEA or ammonium can be used and may be preferred for concentrated liquids.

In order to incorporate 0.15 wt% pulped apple fibre with 15 times its own weight water absorbed it is normal to have a minimum of 3 wt% water added with the pulped apple fibre (from the pre-mix). For the preferred level of about 0.25 wt% pulped apple fibre, the amount of water added from a 2.5 wt% premix is 9.75%.

  • Anti-redeposition polymers for example sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, may additionally be used.
  • water-soluble sequestrants are preferred. When included they are advantageously used at levels of from 0.3 to 3 wt%.
  • a preferred sequestrant is HEDP (1-Hydroxyethylidene -1,1,-diphosphonic acid), available as DEQUEST® 2010 from Thermphos. It should be noted that any sequestrant that comes out of solution under storage conditions is kept suspended and dispersed by the external structurant. A similar point may be made about soil release polymers and any other ingredients that are used near to or over the limit of their solubility.
  • Water-soluble builders may be included in the compositions of the invention.
  • the presence of residual acid in the apple fibre may have compatibility with citric acid or citrate based builders.
  • the external structurant may be used to suspend low levels of insoluble builders.
  • the use of a Calcium tolerant surfactant system lowers the need for builder to be included in the compositions. When present builder may be used at a level of up to 5 wt%, preferably up to 3 wt%.
  • compositions are aqueous but the need to keep high levels of surfactants and other water-soluble ingredients in solution may necessitate the presence of additional solvents or hydrotropes.
  • Preferred hydrotropes are propylene glycol, glycerol, glycerine and mixtures thereof. Hydrotropes, when used, are preferably present at levels of from 1 to 20 wt%.
  • the composition may further comprise MEA and / or TEA and/ or sodium hydroxide for alkalinity (neutralisation and buffering).
  • MEA and / or TEA and/ or sodium hydroxide for alkalinity may comprise citric acid.
  • levels of citric acid preferably range from 0.5 to 5 wt%
  • Soluble fabric whitening agents may be included.
  • the use of the external structurant also makes it possible to use insoluble OBA but this is less preferred if it is desired that the liquid is clear (i.e. that it is possible to see through it).
  • premixes were prepared using high intensity high shear mixing. All the premixes were sheared and dispersed using a Silverson mixer. The preservative added was Proxel® GXL.
  • AFC Classic Apple
  • AF Apple AQ+
  • CF Cerus AQ+
  • the Classic Apple failed to produce a stable premix and so could not be used for structuring.
  • the others each provided a satisfactory homogeneous premix suitable for use as an external structurant in an aqueous detergent liquid.
  • Example 1 and comparative examples A and B were dispersed into a concentrated aqueous laundry detergent liquid base to form the structured liquids specified in table 2.
  • the concentrated base detergent mixture in Table 1 was circulated via a 150/250 Silverson L4R high shear mill by means of a recycle loop to ensure all lines were fully primed and purged of air. Flow rate 1450 l/hr (single pass residence time in mill 0.1 seconds). The Silverson mill was turned on at 6250 rpm (9063 w/kg) to simulate large scale operating conditions. Then the structurant premix from Example 1 was dosed into the main recirculation loop close to the high shear mixer inlet to minimise interaction between the streams prior to intimate dispersion. The perfume was then added using low shear mixing. Care was taken to avoid aeration during mixing.
  • Structured liquids 2 and D without any added enzyme, were immediately sampled and their rheology measured. After storage at 37°C the rheology of the structured liquids was again measured and compared with the initial rheology of the same liquid. The required rheology for thickening and suspending duty was obtained and maintained and no separation was observed for Example 2 (the high water absorbency apple fibre pulp and comparative example D (the high water absorbency citrus fibre pulp). Rheology was measured using an AR2000 rheometer from TA Instruments using a 2°/4cm cone/plate.
  • Pectate lyase will attack pectin in an apple pulp mixture.
  • Example 2 No significant difference was detected between the rheology of any of the four enzyme containing Apple fibre structured samples and the control, either initially or after 6 months storage at 37°C. This was something of a surprise for the pectate lyase as it could be assumed to have attacked the pectin content of the apple structuring system. Without wishing to be bound by theory it seems that the initial pectin content does not contribute to the structuring.
  • Example D No systematic change was observed after 6 months storage at 37°C with either cellulases or pectate lyase. Some evidence that without enzymes there is a small drop in suspending ability for the Example D control on storage at 37°C. There was no sign of this for the Example 2 control.
  • Pectate Lyase and cellulases have been shown to have no significant effect on the rheological profile of aqueous detergent liquids structured with high water absorbency apple fibres or high water absorbency citrus fibres.
  • the required rheology is usefully obtained and maintained in the presence of high levels of cleaning and soil release polymers.
