Description

LAUNDRY DETERGENT COMPOSITION
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention concerns the use of alkoxylated polyarylphenols with an enzyme cocktail comprising a lipase and protease enzyme in a detergent formulation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Lipases are used in domestic detergent formulations to remove fat based stains.
Protease enzymes are used in laundry detergent formulations to remove protein containing stains from fabrics.
Many stains found in domestic laundry contain both proteins and fats.
Enzyme cocktails comprising protease and lipases are used in domestic laundry detergent formulations.
There is a need to improve the performance of protease and lipase enzyme cocktails in domestic laundry detergent formulations. WO 98/45396 discloses a cleaning composition containing: (a) from about 1 to about 60 percent by weight of a surfactant component consisting essentially of: (i) a fatty alkyl ether sulfate; (ii) a linear alcohol ethoxylate; and (iii) a nonionic sugar surfactant, having a ratio by- weight of (i):(ii):(iii) in a range of about 0.5 to 1 .0:1.5 to 2.5:0.5 to 1 .5; and (b) from about 0.1 to about 10 percent by weight of an enzyme component selected from the group consisting of proteases, amylases, lipases, cellulases, peroxidases, and mixtures thereof.
GB 2007692 discloses anti-soiling and anti-redesposition compositions which can be used in detergency. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

(fragrances) with safety information.
Perfume top note may be used to cue the whiteness and brightness benefit of the invention.
Some or all of the perfume may be encapsulated, typical perfume components which it is advantageous to encapsulate, include those with a relatively low boiling point, preferably those with a boiling point of less than 300, preferably 100-250 Celsius. It is also
advantageous to encapsulate perfume components which have a low CLog P (ie. those which will have a greater tendency to be partitioned into water), preferably with a CLog P of less than 3.0. These materials, of relatively low boiling point and relatively low CLog P have been called the "delayed blooming" perfume ingredients and include one or more of the following materials: allyl caproate, amyl acetate, amyl propionate, anisic aldehyde, anisole, benzaldehyde, benzyl acetate, benzyl acetone, benzyl alcohol, benzyl formate, benzyl iso valerate, benzyl propionate, beta gamma hexenol, camphor gum, laevo-carvone, d- carvone, cinnamic alcohol, cinamyl formate, cis-jasmone, cis-3-hexenyl acetate,
cuminic alcohol, cyclal c, dimethyl benzyl carbinol, dimethyl benzyl carbinol acetate, ethyl acetate, ethyl aceto acetate, ethyl amyl ketone, ethyl benzoate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl hexyl ketone, ethyl phenyl acetate, eucalyptol, eugenol, fenchyl acetate, flor acetate (tricyclo decenyl acetate) , frutene (tricyclco decenyl propionate) , geraniol, hexenol, hexenyl acetate, hexyl acetate, hexyl formate, hydratropic alcohol, hydroxycitronellal, indone, isoamyl alcohol, iso menthone, isopulegyl acetate, isoquinolone, ligustral, linalool, linalool oxide, linalyl formate, menthone, menthyl acetphenone, methyl amyl ketone, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, methyl benyl acetate, methyl eugenol, methyl heptenone, methyl heptine carbonate, methyl heptyl ketone, methyl hexyl ketone, methyl phenyl carbinyl acetate, methyl salicylate, methyl-n-methyl anthranilate, nerol, octalactone, octyl alcohol, p-cresol, p- cresol methyl ether, p-methoxy acetophenone, p-methyl acetophenone, phenoxy ethanol, phenyl acetaldehyde, phenyl ethyl acetate, phenyl ethyl alcohol, phenyl ethyl dimethyl carbinol, prenyl acetate, propyl bornate, pulegone, rose oxide, safrole, 4-terpinenol, alpha- terpinenol, and /or viridine. It is commonplace for a plurality of perfume components to be present in a formulation. In the compositions of the present invention it is envisaged that there will be four or more, preferably five or more, more preferably six or more or even seven or more different perfume components from the list given of delayed blooming perfumes given above present in the perfume.
Another group of perfumes with which the present invention can be applied are the so- called aromatherapy' materials. These include many components also used in perfumery, including components of essential oils such as Clary Sage, Eucalyptus, Geranium,
Lavender, Mace Extract, Neroli, Nutmeg, Spearmint, Sweet Violet Leaf and Valerian.
It is preferred that the laundry treatment composition does not contain a peroxygen bleach, e.g., sodium percarbonate, sodium perborate, and peracid.
Polymers
The composition may comprise one or more further polymers. Examples are
carboxymethylcellulose, poly (ethylene glycol), polyvinyl alcohol), polycarboxylates such as polyacrylates, maleic/acrylic acid copolymers and lauryl methacrylate/acrylic acid
copolymers.
Where alkyl groups are sufficiently long to form branched or cyclic chains, the alkyl groups encompass branched, cyclic and linear alkyl chains. The alkyl groups are preferably linear or branched, most preferably linear.
The indefinite article "a" or "an" and its corresponding definite article "the" as used herein means at least one, or one or more, unless specified otherwise.
Dye weights refer to the sodium or chloride salts unless otherwise stated. Experimental Examples
A powder laundry detergent was prepared of the following formulation:
The formulation was used to wash eight 5x5cm EMPA 1 17 stain monitor (blood/milk/ink stain on polycotton) in a tergotometer set at 200rpm. A 60 minute wash was conducted in 800ml of 26° French Hard water at 35°C, with 1.5g/L of the formulation. To simulate oily soil (7.4 g) of an SBL2004 soil strip (ex Warwick Equest) was added to the wash liquor.
Once the wash had been completed the cotton monitors were rinsed once in 400ml clean water, removed dried and the colour measured on a reflectometer and expressed as the CIE L*a*b* values. Stain removal was calculates as the ΔΙ_* value:
ΔΙ_* = L*(treatment)-L*(control without enzyme or alkoxylated polyarylphenol)
Higher ΔΙ_* value equate to better cleaning.
Equivalent Formulations but with the addition of 13.3 wt% alkoxylated polyarylphenol which were polyethylene glycol mono(2,4,6-tris(1 -phenylethyl)phenyl) ether (CAS-No: 70559-25-0) with an average of 16 and 54 ethylene oxide groups. Experiments were repeated with and without the addition of a lipase-protease enzyme cocktail: Lipex® as the lipase and Savanase® as the protease (both ex Novozymes). The lipase was added to give 0.3wt% pure active protein to the formulation and the protease added to give 0.007wt% pure active protein to the formulation.
95% confidence limits are also given calculated from the standard deviation on the measurements from the 8 monitors.
The combination of the enzyme cocktail and alkoxylated polyarylphenol increases the stain removal as shown by the larger AL* values. For the 16EO alkoxylated polyarylphenol the combination with the enzyme cocktail increases the stain removal by more than expected from combination of the effects of the single components. For the combination a ΔΙ_* = 4.06 + 1.19 = 5.25 would be expected but 10.25 obtained.
The formulation was remade with the addition of mix of amylase, mannase and pectinase enzymes (Stainzyme ® Novozyme, Mannaway ® Novozymes, Pectawash ® Novozymes)
