Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of methylglycine diacetic acid or salt thereof (MGDA) to inhibit the enzymatic activity of catalase during a laundering process.
  • MGDA methylglycine diacetic acid or salt thereof
  • Catalase is an enzyme present in nearly all aerobic organisms. Catalase protects these aerobic organisms from oxidative damage by catalyzing the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxgen.
  • Hydrogen peroxide is a potentially harmful by-product of metabolic processes of aerobic organisms.
  • the presence of catalase in aerobic organisms protects the organisms from unwanted oxidative damage by converting the highly reactive hydrogen peroxide to less reactive oxygen and water.
  • Hydrogen peroxide is an important bleach used in laundry detergent compositions, especially solid laundry detergent powder.
  • Catalase is typically introduced into the laundry process due to its presence in biological soils. The presence of catalase in the laundry process can lead to poor cleaning performance, especially poor bleaching performance.
  • US 4,744,916 A and US 2007/0082832 A1 refer to the problem of loss of peroxide bleaching agent, resulting from catalase enzyme-induced decomposition, and disclose the use of hydroxylamine sulfate as an inhibitor of the action of catalase as a peroxide decomposition catalyst.
  • One of the challenges of a laundry detergent formulator is to ensure that good cleaning activity, and especially good bleaching activity, occurs quickly in the laundering process, and occurs before the catalase activity reduces this cleaning activity, especially the bleaching activity.
  • the inventors overcome this problem by providing a use of a specific chelant, namely methylglycine diacetic acid or salt thereof (MGDA), which inhibits the enzymatic activity of catalase during the laundering process.
  • MGDA methylglycine diacetic acid or salt thereof
  • MGDA can also be used to inhibit the enzymatic activity of catalase during a laundering process when the laundry detergent composition is a solid laundry detergent powder having a low pH profile, such as upon dissolution in de-ionized water at a temperature of 20°C and at a concentration of 1g/l, the equilibrium pH is from 4.0 to 9.0, or from 6.0 to 8.5.
  • the pH of the solid laundry detergent powder affects the kinetics and efficacy of the bleach, and especially sodium percarbonate bleach.
  • the pH also affects the binding metal ion constants of chelants such as MGDA.
  • the inventors have found that even at this low pH profile, MGDA can still be used to inhibit the enzymatic activity of catalase during the laundering process.
  • the present invention relates to the use of methylglycine diacetic acid or salt thereof (MGDA) to inhibit the enzymatic activity of catalase during a laundering process.
  • MGDA methylglycine diacetic acid or salt thereof
  • Methylglycine diacetic acid or salt thereof is used to inhibit the enzymatic activity of catalase during a laundering process.
  • the laundering process comprises the step of contacting a laundry detergent composition to water to form a wash bath, and contacting soil laundry to the wash bath.
  • the laundry detergent can be a liquid, solid or unit dose form such a pouch.
  • the laundry detergent is a solid laundry detergent powder.
  • the solid laundry detergent powder upon dissolution in de-ionized water at 20°C at a concentration of 1g/l, may have an equilibrium pH of from 4.0 to 9.0.
  • the laundry detergent comprises detersive surfactant.
  • the laundry detergent comprises bleach.
  • a preferred bleach is a sodium percarbonate bleach.
