Description

DETERGENT POUCH COMPRISING METALLOPROTEASES
Reference to sequence listing
This application contains a Sequence Listing in computer readable form. The computer readable form is incorporated herein by reference.
Field of the invention
The invention relates to a multi-compartment pouch comprising a selected combination of ingredients in different compartments as well as a washing process and the use of the multi compartment pouch for laundry applications, such as for washing and cleaning of textiles, or for dishwashing applications.
Background of the invention
The detergent formulators are constantly looking for new detergent forms with improved cleaning profile. Lately, products in unit dose form have become one of the preferred forms for the user due to the ease of use, particularly water-soluble pouches which present the added advantage of no need to unwrap.
Products having size and geometry constrictions -as in the case of dishwasher products that need to be dosed through the dispenser and therefore are restricted not only by the size of the dispenser but also by the shape- and ingredients in different physical forms are always challenging from the formulation view point. It is also more challenging when it is desired that the product provides controlled and/or differential release.
Enzymatic detergent compositions normally contain a protease. One group of proteases, the metalloproteases, have not yet found widespread use in detergent industry, however, mainly due to low stability in detergent compositions as well as under the conditions during the wash process. For example, an M4 family metal loprotease from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens known as Neutrase® has been used for many years as an additive in various food and feed products. In spite of the fact, that this and other metalloproteases have been described for use in detergent and cleaning compositions and processes, they have not been used in detergent compositions in practice. Thus, although a number of metalloproteases are known to have activity that in theory would make them suitable for detergent use, their instability in detergent compositions and wash conditions has in practice prevented such use.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved way of delivering an enzyme such as a metalloprotease in a multi-compartment pouch. Summary of the invention
The invention relates to an enzyme containing water-soluble films, and their use in detergents.
The present invention relates to a multi-compartment pouch comprising at least two compartments, wherein said first compartment comprises an enzyme-containing composition and a second compartment comprises a detergent composition.
The present invention relates to a method of releasing an enzyme in a cleaning process comprising steps of: a. providing a multicompartment pouch with at least two compartments, the first compartment comprising enzyme-containing composition and the second compartment comprising a detergent composition; b. releasing the detergent composition from the second compartment and subsequently releasing the enzyme-containing composition from the first compartment into the wash liquor.
The present invention also relates to a method of treating a substrate, where the method includes the step of contacting the substrate with the pouch in the presence of water, wherein the substrate is a fabric or a hard surface.
The present invention also relates to a method of cleaning comprising contacting a surface and/or a fabric with the pouch.
The present invention also relates to a method for removing and/or reducing soil and/or for reducing redeposition on a surface and/or textile comprising contacting the surface and/or textile with the pouch.
The present invention also relates to a method of laundering or dishwashing in a washing machine comprising the steps of placing the pouch into the product dispenser and releasing it during the wash cycle.
The present invention also relates to use of the pouch for cleaning of an item, wherein the item is a textile or a surface.
The present invention also relates to use of the pouch in a cleaning process, such as laundry, hard surface cleaning, dish wash or automated dish wash.
The present invention also relates to use of the pouch for removing or releasing a stain from a textile having a stain.
Definitions
In accordance with the detailed description, the following abbreviations and definitions apply. Note that the singular forms“a”,“an”, and“the” include plural referents unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to“an enzyme” includes a plurality of such enzymes, and reference to“the dosage” includes reference to one or more dosages and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art, and so forth. Certain ranges are presented herein with numerical values being preceded by the term “about”. The term“about” as used herein, is to provide literal support for the exact number that it precedes, as well as a number that is near to or approximately the number that the term precedes. In determining whether a number is near to or approximately a specifically recited number, the near or approximating unrecited number may be a number which, in the context in which it is presented, provides the substantial equivalent of the specifically recited number. For example, for a specific numerical value, the term“about” refers to a range of -10% to +10% of the numerical value, unless term is otherwise specifically defined in context. In another example, the phrase a “pH value of about 9” refers to pH values of from 8.1 to 9.9, unless the pH value is specifically defined otherwise.
The term“protease activity” or“peptidase activity” is defined herein as the ability to break down the amide bond of a protein by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that link amino acids together in a polypeptide chain.
“Protease activity” can be measured using any assay in which a substrate is employed that includes peptide bonds relevant for the specificity of the protease in question. Assay-pH and assay-temperature are likewise to be adapted to the protease in question. Examples of assay- pH-values are pH 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 , or 12. Examples of assay-temperatures are 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 37, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 80, 90, or 95°C. Examples of general protease substrates are casein, bovine serum albumin and haemoglobin. In the classical Anson and Mirsky method, denatured haemoglobin is used as substrate and after the assay incubation with the protease in question, the amount of trichloroacetic acid soluble haemoglobin is determined as a measurement of protease activity (Anson, M.L. and Mirsky, A.E., 1932, J. Gen. Physiol. 16: 59 and Anson, M.L., 1938, J. Gen. Physiol. 22: 79).
For the purpose of the present invention, protease activity was determined using assays which are described in“Materials and Methods”, such as the Protazyme OL assay.
The term“metalloprotease” as used herein refers to a protease having one or more metal ions in the binding/active site.
The terms“cleaning compositions” and "cleaning formulations," refer to compositions that find use in the removal of undesired compounds from items to be cleaned, such as fabric, carpets, dishware including glassware, contact lenses, hard surfaces such as tiles, zincs, floors, and table surfaces, hair (shampoos), skin (soaps and creams), teeth (mouthwashes, toothpastes), etc. The terms encompass any materials/compounds selected for the particular type of cleaning composition desired and the form of the product (e.g., liquid, gel, granule, or spray compositions). The specific selection of cleaning composition materials is readily made by considering the surface, item or fabric to be cleaned, and the desired form of the composition for the cleaning conditions during use. These terms further refer to any composition that is suited for cleaning, bleaching, disinfecting, and/or sterilizing any object and/or surface. It is intended that the terms include, but are not limited to detergent composition (e.g., liquid and/or solid laundry detergents and fine fabric detergents; hard surface cleaning formulations, such as for glass, wood, ceramic and metal counter tops and windows; carpet cleaners; oven cleaners; fabric fresheners; fabric softeners; and textile and laundry pre-spotters, as well as dishwash detergents).
The term“DNase” means a polypeptide with DNase activity that catalyses the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphodiester linkages in the DNA backbone, thus degrading DNA. DNase activity may be determined according to the procedure described in the Assay I described in“Materials and Methods”.
The term“detergent composition” refers to compositions that find use in the removal of undesired compounds from items to be cleaned, such as hard surfaces or dishware. The detergent composition may be used to e.g. clean dishware for both household cleaning and industrial cleaning. The terms encompass any materials/compounds selected for the particular type of cleaning composition desired and the form of the product (e.g., liquid, gel, powder, granulate, paste, or spray compositions) and includes, but is not limited to, detergent compositions (e.g., liquid and/or solid laundry detergents and fine fabric detergents; fabric fresheners; fabric softeners; and textile and laundry pre-spotters/pretreatment). In addition to containing the enzyme of the invention, the detergent formulation may contain one or more additional enzymes (such as other proteases, amylases, lipases, cutinases, cellulases, endoglucanases, xyloglucanases, pectinases, pectin lyases, xanthanases, peroxidaes, haloperoxygenases, DNase, catalases and mannanases, or any mixture thereof), and/or detergent components such as surfactants, builders, chelators or chelating agents, bleach system or bleach components, polymers, fabric conditioners, foam boosters, suds suppressors, dyes, perfume, tannish inhibitors, optical brighteners, bactericides, fungicides, soil suspending agents, anti-corrosion agents, enzyme inhibitors or stabilizers, enzyme activators, transferase(s), hydrolytic enzymes, oxido reductases, bluing agents and fluorescent dyes, antioxidants, and solubilizers.
The term "fabric" encompasses any textile material. Thus, it is intended that the term encompass garments, as well as fabrics, yarns, fibers, non-woven materials, natural materials, synthetic materials, and any other textile material.
The term“textile” means any textile material including yarns, yarn intermediates, fibers, non-woven materials, natural materials, synthetic materials, and any other textile material, fabrics made of these materials and products made from fabrics (e.g., garments and other articles). The textile or fabric may be in the form of knits, wovens, denims, non-wovens, felts, yarns, and toweling. The textile may be cellulose based such as natural cellulosics, including cotton, flax/linen, jute, ramie, sisal or coir or manmade cellulosics (e.g. originating from wood pulp) including viscose/rayon, cellulose acetate fibers (tricell), lyocell or blends thereof. The textile or fabric may also be non-cellulose based such as natural polyamides including wool, camel, cashmere, mohair, rabbit and silk or synthetic polymers such as nylon, aramid, polyester, acrylic, polypropylene and spandex/elastane, or blends thereof as well as blends of cellulose based and non-cellulose based fibers. Examples of blends are blends of cotton and/or rayon/viscose with one or more companion material such as wool, synthetic fiber (e.g. polyamide fiber, acrylic fiber, polyester fiber, polyvinyl chloride fiber, polyurethane fiber, polyurea fiber, aramid fiber), and/or cellulose-containing fiber (e.g. rayon/viscose, ramie, flax/linen, jute, cellulose acetate fiber, lyocell). Fabric may be conventional washable laundry, for example stained household laundry. When the term fabric or garment is used it is intended to include the broader term textiles as well. In the context of the present invention, the term“textile” also covers fabrics.
The term "effective amount of enzyme" refers to the quantity of enzyme necessary to achieve the enzymatic activity required in the specific application, e.g., in a defined detergent composition. Such effective amounts are readily ascertained by one of ordinary skill in the art and are based on many factors, such as the particular enzyme used, the cleaning application, the specific composition of the detergent composition, and whether a liquid or dry (e.g., granular, bar) composition is required, and the like.
The term "relevant washing conditions" is used herein to indicate the conditions, particularly washing temperature, time, washing mechanics, detergent concentration, type of detergent and water hardness, actually used in households in a detergent market segment.
The term "wash performance" of an enzyme refers to the contribution of an enzyme to washing that provides additional cleaning performance to the detergent without the addition of the enzyme to the composition. Wash performance is compared under relevant washing conditions. Wash performance of enzymes is conveniently measured by their ability to remove certain representative stains under appropriate test conditions. In these test systems, other relevant factors, such as detergent composition, detergent concentration, water hardness, washing mechanics, time, pH, and/or temperature, can be controlled in such a way that conditions typical for household application in a certain market segment are imitated.
The term“water hardness” or“degree of hardness” or“dH” or“°dH” as used herein refers to German degrees of hardness. One degree is defined as 10 milligrams of calcium oxide per litre of water.
The term "improved wash performance" is used to indicate that a better end result is obtained in stain removal from items washed (e.g., fabrics or dishware and/or cutlery) under relevant washing conditions as compared to no enzyme or to a reference enzyme, or that less enzyme, on weight basis, is needed to obtain the same end result relative to no enzyme or to a reference enzyme. Improved wash performance could in this context also be that the same effect, e.g., stain removal effect is obtained in shorter wash time, e.g., the enzymes provide their effect more quickly under the tested conditions.
The term“wash cycle” is defined herein as a washing operation wherein fabric is exposed to the wash liquor for a period of time by circulating the wash liquor and spraying the wash liquor onto the fabric in order to clean the fabric and finally the superfluous wash liquor is removed. A wash cycle may be repeated one, two, three, four, five or even six times at the same or at different temperatures. Hereafter the fabric is generally rinsed and dried.
The term“wash liquor” is defined herein as the solution or mixture of water and detergent components optionally including enzymes used for laundrering textiles, for hard surface cleaning or for dishwashing.
The term“wash time” is defined herein as the time it takes for the entire washing process; i.e. the time for the wash cycle(s) and rinse cycle(s) together.
The term“enzyme detergency” or“detergency” or“detergency effect” is defined herein as the advantageous effect an enzyme may add to a detergent compared to the same detergent without the enzyme. Important detergency benefits which can be provided by enzymes are stain removal with no or very little visible soils after washing and/or cleaning, prevention or reduction of redeposition of soils released in the washing process an effect that also is termed anti redeposition, restoring fully or partly the whiteness of textiles, which originally were white but after repeated use and wash have obtained a greyish or yellowish appearance an effect that also is termed whitening. Textile care benefits, which are not directly related to catalytic stain removal or prevention of redeposition of soils, are also important for enzyme detergency benefits. Examples of such textile care benefits are prevention or reduction of dye transfer from one fabric to another fabric or another part of the same fabric an effect that is also termed dye transfer inhibition or anti- back staining, removal of protruding or broken fibers from a fabric surface to decrease pilling tendencies or remove already existing pills or fuzz an effect that also is termed anti-pilling, improvement of the fabric-softness, color clarification of the fabric and removal of particulate soils which are trapped in the fibers of the fabric or garment. Enzymatic bleaching is a further enzyme detergency benefit where the catalytic activity generally is used to catalyze the formation of bleaching component such as hydrogen peroxide or other peroxides.
The term“hard surface cleaning” is defined herein as cleaning of hard surfaces, such as reducing or removing biofilm from a hard surface, wherein hard surfaces may include floors, tables, walls, roofs etc. as well as surfaces of hard objects such as cars (car wash) and dishes (dish wash). Hard surface cleaning also includes cleaning the interior of washing machines, such as the interior of laundry washing machines or dishwashing machines, this includes cleaning soap intake box, walls, windows, baskets, racks, nozzles, pumps, sump, filters, pipelines, tubes, joints, seals, gaskets, fittings, impellers, drums, drains, traps, coin traps inlet and outlets. Dish washing includes but are not limited to cleaning of plates, cups, glasses, bowls, pots, cutlery, spoons, knives, forks, serving utensils, ceramics, plastics, cutting boards, china and glass ware.
The term“laundering” relates to both household laundering and industrial laundering and means the process of treating textiles with a solution containing a cleaning or detergent composition of the present invention. The laundering process can for example be carried out using e.g. a household or an industrial washing machine or can be carried out by hand.

The term“M4 Metalloprotease Family” or“M4 Metalloprotease” or“M4” as used herein means a polypeptide falling into the M4 metalloprotease family according to Rawlings et al., Biochem. J., 290, 205-218 (1993) and as further described in MEROPS - (Rawlings et al., MEROPS: the peptidase database, Nucl Acids Res, 34 Database issue, D270-272, 2006). The M4 metalloproteases are neutral metalloproteases containing mainly endopeptidases. All peptidases in the family bind a single, catalytic zinc ion. M4 metalloprotease family members include the common HEXXH motif, where the histidine residues serve as zinc ligands and glutamate is an active site residue. M4 metalloproteases have a pH optimum mainly at neutral pH. The M4 metalloprotease family includes, e.g., Neutrase® (classified as MEROPS subclass M04.014), Thermolysin, Bacillolysin, vibriolysin, pseudolysin, Msp peptidase, coccolysin, aureolysin, vimelysin, lambda toxin neutral peptidase B, PA peptidase (Aeromonas-type), griselysin, stearolysin, Mprlll ( Alteromonas sp. strain 0-7), pap6 peptidase, neutral peptidase ( Thermoactinomyces-type ), ZmpA peptidase ( Burkholderia sp.), zpx peptidase, PrtS peptidase (Photorhabdus luminescens), protealysin, ZmpB peptidase ( Burkholderia sp.). The M4 metalloprotease family of polypeptides have been further characterized and presently includes, according to MEROPS, at least twenty-two subclasses for which a distinct MEROPS ID (i.e., an identifier of the formula M04.xxx) has been assigned, as well as non-peptidase homologues and unassigned peptidases.
The term “Thermolysin-Like Metalloprotease” as used herein means (a) an M4 metalloprotease of the MEROPS subclass M04.001 ; (b) an M4 metalloprotease of the MEROPS subclass M04.018; (c) an M4 metalloprotease of the MEROPS subclass M04.021 ; (d) an M4 metalloprotease having an active cleft motif TG[TS][QS]DNGGVH[TI] as shown in SEQ ID NO: 65; (e) an M4 metalloprotease having an active cleft motif

In these motifs, the accepted lUPAC single letter amino acid abbreviation is employed. Also in the above motifs, the use of brackets indicates alternative amino acid choices at a particular position. The Thermolysin-Like Metalloproteases are described, e.g., in Barret et al. (1998) Handbook of proteolytic enzymes. Academic Press, pp. 350-369. The amino acid sequences of several TLPs have been determined, and the three-dimensional structures of several TLPs have been solved. Focus has been on increasing the thermostability of the TLP and a number of publications describe the thermostability of Bacillus TLPs, e.g., Veltman et al., (1998) Biochemistry 37(15):5312-9. The TLPs consist of an alpha-helical C-terminal domain and an N- terminal domain mainly consisting of beta-strands. The domains are connected by a central alpha- helix. This helix is located at the bottom of the active site cleft and contains several of the catalytically important residues such as four substrate binding pockets S2, S1 , ST and S2' have been identified (Hangauer et al. (1984) Biochemistry 23:5730-5741).
The term“M7 Metalloprotease Family” or“M7 Metalloprotease” or“M7” or“snapalysin family” as used herein means a polypeptide falling into the M7 metalloprotease family according to Rawlings et al., Biochem.

The protease family M7 contains a metalloendopeptidase, snapalysin. Snapalysin is active at neutral pH. The only known activity is cleavage of proteins of skimmed milk to form clear plaques around the growing bacterial colonies. The Zinc is bound by two histidines and an aspartate in an HEXXHXXGXXD sequence motif as shown in SEQ ID NO: 68; the glutamate is a catalytic residue. The M7 proteases have clear signal peptides recognized by the SignalP prediction program. They also all have a propeptide that is cleaved off.
The term “M35 Metalloprotease Family” or “M35 Metalloprotease” or “M35” or “deuterolysin family” as used herein means a polypeptide falling into the M35 metalloprotease family according to Proteolysis in Cell Function, pp13-21 , IOS Press, Amsterdam (1997), Rawlings et al., Biochem. J., 290, 205-218 (1993) and as further described in MEROPS - (Rawlings et al., MEROPS: the peptidase database, Nucl Acids Res, 34 Database issue, D270- 272, 2006). Family M35 members contain two zinc binding histidine’s and a catalytic glutamate in an HEXXH motif as shown in SEQ ID NO: 69. There is a third zinc ligand, an Asp, found in a GTXDXXYG motif as shown in SEQ ID NO: 70 C-terminal to the His zinc ligands (see the Alignment). For this reason, the peptidases in this family are sometimes termed“aspzincins”, although peptidases in which the third ligand of zinc is Asp also occur in families M6, M7 and M64.

Hydrotropes
In one embodiment, the detergent composition present in the second compartment of the multi-compartment pouch comprises one or more hydrotrope.
A hydrotrope is a compound that solubilises hydrophobic compounds in aqueous solutions (or oppositely, polar substances in a non-polar environment). Typically, hydrotropes have both hydrophilic and a hydrophobic character (so-called amphiphilic properties as known from surfactants); however the molecular structure of hydrotropes generally do not favor spontaneous self-aggregation, see e.g., review by Hodgdon and Kaler (2007), Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science 12: 121-128. Hydrotropes do not display a critical concentration above which self-aggregation occurs as found for surfactants and lipids forming miceller, lamellar or other well defined meso-phases. Instead, many hydrotropes show a continuous-type aggregation process where the sizes of aggregates grow as concentration increases. However, many hydrotropes alter the phase behavior, stability, and colloidal properties of systems containing substances of polar and non-polar character, including mixtures of water, oil, surfactants, and polymers. Hydrotropes are classically used across industries from pharma, personal care, food, to technical applications. Use of hydrotropes in detergent compositions allow for example more concentrated formulations of surfactants (as in the process of compacting liquid detergents by removing water) without inducing undesired phenomena such as phase separation or high viscosity.
The detergent present in the second compartment of the multi-compartment pouch may contain 0-10% by weight, such as about 0.5 to about 5%, or about 3% to about 5%, of a hydrotrope. Any hydrotrope known in the art for use in detergents may be utilized. Non-limiting examples of hydrotropes include sodium benzene sulfonate, sodium p-toluene sulfonate (STS), sodium xylene sulfonate (SXS), sodium cumene sulfonate (SCS), sodium cymene sulfonate, amine oxides, alcohols and polyglycolethers, sodium hydroxynaphthoate, sodium hydroxynaphthalene sulfonate, sodium ethylhexyl sulfate, and combinations thereof.

The detergent composition present in the second compartment of the multi-compartment pouch may contain 0-30% by weight, such as about 1 % to about 20%, of a bleaching system. Any bleaching system known in the art for use in laundry/ADW/hard surface cleaning detergents may be utilized. Suitable bleaching system components include sources of hydrogen peroxide; sources of peracids; and bleach catalysts or boosters.
Sources of hydrogen peroxide:
Suitable sources of hydrogen peroxide are inorganic persalts, including alkali metal salts such as sodium percarbonate and sodium perborates (usually mono- or tetra hydrate), and hydrogen peroxide— urea (1/1).
Sources of peracids:
Peracids may be (a) incorporated directly as preformed peracids or (b) formed in situ in the wash liquor from hydrogen peroxide and a bleach activator (perhydrolysis) or (c) formed in situ in the wash liquor from hydrogen peroxide and a perhydrolase and a suitable substrate for the latter, e.g., an ester.
a) Suitable preformed peracids include, but are not limited to, peroxycarboxylic acids such as peroxybenzoic acid and its ring-substituted derivatives, peroxy-a-naphthoic acid, peroxyphthalic acid, peroxylauric acid, peroxystearic acid, e-phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid [phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid (PAP)], and o-carboxybenzamidoperoxycaproic acid; aliphatic and aromatic diperoxydicarboxylic acids such as diperoxydodecanedioic acid, diperoxyazelaic acid, diperoxysebacic acid, diperoxybrassylic acid, 2-decyldiperoxybutanedioic acid, and diperoxyphthalic, -isophthalic and -terephthalic acids; perimidic acids; peroxymonosulfuric acid; peroxydisulfuric acid; peroxyphosphoric acid; peroxysilicic acid; and mixtures of said compounds. It is understood that the peracids mentioned may in some cases be best added as suitable salts, such as alkali metal salts (e.g., Oxone®) or alkaline earth-metal salts.
b) Suitable bleach activators include those belonging to the class of esters, amides, imides, nitriles or anhydrides and, where applicable, salts thereof. Suitable examples are tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), sodium 4-[(3, 5, 5-trimethylhexanoyl)oxy]benzene-1 -sulfonate (ISONOBS), sodium 4-(dodecanoyloxy)benzene-1 -sulfonate (LOBS), sodium 4- (decanoyloxy) benzene- 1 -sulfonate, 4-(decanoyloxy)benzoic acid (DOBA), sodium 4- (nonanoyloxy)benzene-l-sulfonate (NOBS), and/or those disclosed in W098/17767. A particular family of bleach activators of interest was disclosed in EP624154 and particularly preferred in that family is acetyl triethyl citrate (ATC). ATC or a short chain triglyceride like triacetin has the advantage that they are environmentally friendly. Furthermore, acetyl triethyl citrate and triacetin have good hydrolytical stability in the product upon storage and are efficient bleach activators. Finally, ATC is multifunctional, as the citrate released in the perhydrolysis reaction may function as a builder.

Especially suitable cellulases are the alkaline or neutral cellulases having colour care benefits. Examples of such cellulases are cellulases described in EP 0 495 257, EP 0 531 372, WO 96/1 1262, WO 96/29397, WO 98/08940. Other examples are cellulase variants such as those described in WO 94/07998, EP 0 531 315, US 5,457,046, US 5,686,593, US 5,763,254, WO 95/24471 , WO 98/12307 and W099/001544.

Cellulase in particular an enzyme exhibiting endo-beta-1 ,4-glucanase activity. Cellulose is a polymer of glucose linked by beta-1 ,4-glucosidic bonds. Cellulose chains form numerous intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which results in the formation of insoluble cellulose micro-fibrils. Microbial hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose involve three major classes of cellulases: (i) endo-glucanases (EC 3.2.1.4) which cleave beta-1 , 4-glucosidic links randomly throughout cellulose molecules, also called endo-beta-1 ,4-glucanases; (ii) cellobiohydrolases (EC 3.2.1.91) which digest cellulose from the non-reducing end, releasing cellobiose; and (iii) beta-glucosidases (EC 3.2.1.21) which hydrolyse cellobiose and low molecular-weight cellodextrins to release glucose. The cellulases useful in the cleaning composition of the invention are preferably endo- glucanases (EC 3.2.1.4). Beta-1 , 4-glucosidic bonds are also present beta-glucans from plants such as barley and oats. In some cases, endo-glucanases also provide hydrolysis of such non cellulose polymers. The cellulases are placed into different families of glycosyl hydrolases; fungal and bacterial glycosyl hydrolases have been grouped into 35 families (Henrissat, B.: A classification of glycosyl hydrolases based on amino acid sequence similarities. Biochem. J. 280 (1991), 309-316. Henrissat, B., and Bairoch, A.: New families in the classification of glycosyl hydrolases based on amino acid sequence similarities. Biochem. J. 293 (1993), 781 -788.). Most cellulases consist of a cellulose-binding domain (CBD) and a catalytic domain (CAD) separated by a linker which may be rich in proline and hydroxy amino acid residues. Another classification of cellulases has been established on the basis of the similarity of their CBDs (Gilkes et al. (1991)) giving five families of glycosyl hydrolases (l-V). Cellulases are synthesized by a large number of microorganisms which include fungi, actinomycetes, myxobacteria and true bacteria but also by plants. Especially endo-beta-1 ,4-glucanases of a wide variety of specificities have been identified. Many bacterial endo-glucanases have been described (Gilbert, H.J. and Hazlewood, G.P. (1993) J. Gen. Microbiol. 139:187-194. Henrissat, B., and Bairoch, A.: New families in the classification of glycosyl hydrolases based on amino acid sequence similarities. Biochem. J. 293 (1993), 781 - 788.).

Examples
Materials and methods
Protazyme OL characterization assay:
Substrate: Protazyme OL tablet (AZCL-collagen, Megazyme T-PROL 1000).
Temperature: Controlled (assay temperature).
Assay buffers: 100mM succinic acid, 100mM HEPES, 100mM CHES, 100mM CABS,
1 mM CaCI2, 150mM KCI, 0.01 % Triton X-100 adjusted to pH-values 2.0,
3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 11.0 with HCI or NaOH.
A Protazyme OL tablet is suspended in 2.0 ml 0.01 % Triton X-100 by gentle stirring. 500 mI of this suspension and 500 mI assay buffer are dispensed in an Eppendorf tube and placed on ice. 20 mI protease sample (diluted in 0.01 % Triton X-100) is added to the ice cold tube. The assay is initiated by transferring the Eppendorf tube to an Eppendorf thermomixer, which is set to the assay temperature. The tube is incubated for 15 minutes on the Eppendorf thermomixer at its highest shaking rate (1400 rpm). The incubation is stopped by transferring the tube back to the ice bath. Then the tube is centrifuged in an ice cold centrifuge for a few minutes and 200 mI supernatant is transferred to a microtiter plate. OD650 is read as a measure of protease activity. A buffer blind is included in the assay (instead of enzyme).
Automatic Mechanical Stress Assay (AMSA) for laundry
In order to assess the wash performance in laundry washing experiments are performed, using the Automatic Mechanical Stress Assay (AMSA). With the AMSA, the wash performance of a large quantity of small volume enzyme-detergent solutions can be examined. The AMSA plate has a number of slots for test solutions and a lid firmly squeezing the laundry sample, the textile to be washed against all the slot openings. During the washing time, the plate, test solutions, textile and lid are vigorously shaken to bring the test solution in contact with the textile and apply mechanical stress in a regular, periodic oscillating manner. For further description see W002/42740 especially the paragraph "Special method embodiments" at page 23-24.
A typical laundry experiments are conducted under the experimental conditions specified below:
Model detergents and test materials are as follows:
All test materials are obtained from EMPA Testmaterials AG Movenstrasse 12, CH-9015 St. Gallen, Switzerland or from Center For Testmaterials BV, P.O. Box 120, 3133 KT Vlaardingen, the Netherlands.
Water hardness is adjusted to 15°dH by addition of CaCL, MgCL, and NaHCOs (Ca2+:Mg2+:NaHC03= 4:1 :7.5) to the test system. After washing the textiles were flushed in tap water and dried. The wash performance was measured as the brightness of the colour of the textile washed. Brightness can also be expressed as the intensity of the light reflected from the sample when illuminated with white light. When the sample is stained the intensity of the reflected light is lower than that of a clean sample. Expressed another way, a cleaner sample will reflect more light and will have a higher intensity. Therefore, the intensity of the reflected light can be used to measure wash performance.
Color measurements are made with a professional flatbed scanner (Kodak iQsmart, Kodak, Midtager 29, DK-2605 Brondby, Denmark), which is used to capture an image of the washed textile.
To extract a value for the light intensity from the scanned images, 24-bit pixel values from the image are converted into values for red, green and blue (RGB). The intensity value (Int) is calculated by adding the RGB values together as vectors and then taking the length of the resulting vector:
Example 1 : Relative wash performance of different metalloproteases
In order to demonstrate that separating the metalloproteases from the detergent ingredients until the ingredients are dissolved in water enables the use of metalloproteases in detergents, different metalloproteases were added to a liquid model detergent, incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature and then diluted with water hardness according to the detergent dosage. Afterwards wash performance was investigated in AMSA. This experimental setup reflects the addition of a metalloprotease to a nowadays commonly used liquid detergent. The results from this setup were compared with the results from a second setup, where the liquid model detergent was diluted with water hardness according to the detergent dosage before the metalloproteases were added. This setup reflects the usage of a pouch, where the detergent is dissolved in water prior metalloprotease release. Wash performance of the detergent solution with metalloprotease was investigated in AMSA after 30min incubation of the wash liquor at room temperature.
The metalloprotease’s as listed in the table 1 , is added to both, the undiluted/undissolved detergent and a diluted detergent solution (= wash liquor). The metalloprotease shows significant wash performance when added to the diluted detergent solution (= wash liquor). On the other hand, when added to the undiluted/undissolved detergent, then a drastic performance drop is observed as only a small metalloprotease performance is detectable. It may be observed that the metalloprotease must be kept separated from the undiluted/undissolved detergent. Further, the metalloprotease should get into the wash liquor when the detergent is already diluted. Table 1 shows the wash performance of the different metalloproteases from setup 1 (metalloproteases added to detergent and then after 30 min diluted with water hardness according to detergent dosage) relative to setup 2 (detergent first diluted with water hardness according to detergent dosage and then metalloproteases added) in percent. Table 1 : Relative wash performance of different metalloproteases
From the data, it shows that metalloproteases have a significantly reduced wash performance when getting in contact with undiluted detergent for a short time (relative to having contact with diluted detergent for the same time period), meaning that metalloproteases suffer from a significant performance loss when getting in contact with undiluted detergent. Therefore, it is suggested that in pouches where the metalloprotease is released after the detergent is diluted with water, is a good solution.
