Definitions
- the invention relates to a biodegradable deoxyribonuclease-based composition, particularly a laundry washing composition, for the breakdown of hard-to-remove fixed skin sebum and regulation of kinetics of sweat crystal formation on fabrics of various materials.
- the composition is intended to be included in detergents for fabric care, application of which increases efficiency of removal of fixed biocontaminations and human biostains enriched with nucleic acids, as well as regulation of sweat crystallization and decreases intensity of unpleasant smells.
- the composition is biodegradable, has a safe effect on the skin and can be used to prepare household detergents for sensitive skin, such as dry, liquid, concentrated laundry detergents, surface washes, with lasting cleanliness and a pleasant fragrance.
- the use of the composition may help to reduce the allergen load on the consumer caused by the specific effect on the bacterial flora.
- proteases and nucleases have been investigated to achieve a high cleaning capacity of household cleaners.
- their combined use to date has presented a number of challenges of a biochemical nature, as proteases cleave peptide bonds in proteins and nucleases cleave phosphodiester bonds in nucleic acids (Veluchamy et al., 2011; Morales-Garcia et al., 2020).
- Subtilisin is a proteolytic enzyme of the serine proteinase class. It is produced by bacteria mainly of the genus Bacillus, particularly Bacillus subtilis, to protect against other microorganisms. Subtilisin is involved in the cleavage of proteins through the hydrolysis of peptide bonds. It initiates a nucleophilic attack on the peptide bond via a serine residue that is located in its active site (Marget et al., 2022). The enzyme has antimicrobial and fungicidal properties and inhibits the formation of microbial biofilms. Subtilisin is widely used in household chemicals, cosmetics, food processing and pharmaceuticals (Veluchamy et al., 2011).
- As subtilisin is a protease that cleaves proteins, including nucleases, it is used in stability experiments.
- Nucleases are a broad group of enzymes that cleave phosphodiester bonds between nucleic acid subunits.
- RNases ribonucleases
- DNases deoxyribonucleases
- Taniuchi et al. investigated the stability of the staphylococal nuclease and used subtilisin along with other nucleases. The authors showed that subtilisin cleaves the N-terminus of the nuclease (residues 1 to 5) (Taniuchi et al., 1969). Subtilisin can not only cleave nucleases but also inhibit the nuclease activity of enzymes. Yu et al. investigated the activity of the enzyme RecB, which has chelicase and nuclease activities.
- subtilisin cleaves proteobacterium Alteromonas espejiana F and S nucleases and critically reduces their exonuclease activities against duplex DNA (Hauser et al., 1990). All the mentioned nucleases have DNAase activity, as does the nuclease described in the present patent application.
- subtilisin and deoxyribonuclease Despite the conflict between subtilisin and deoxyribonuclease described in the literature, the authors of the invention unexpectedly found a synergistic effect between subtilisin and bionuclease derived from fungi and yeast-like fungi if, and only if, a surfactant as defined as per component C) in claim 1 of the attached claim set is added.
- a surfactant as defined as per component C) in claim 1 of the attached claim set is added.
- the technical result of the innovative combination or complex based on nuclease and protease consists in effective removal of biostains and regulation of kinetics of crystal formation of sweat enriched with nucleic acids, removal of unpleasant smells and keeping enzymatic stability of enzymes in combined presence in laundry detergents compositions.
- the complex is active over a wide pH range, in particular at a pH of 6.0-11.0, and over a wide temperature range, in particular from +15 to +60 °C, which broadens the scope of application in eco-friendly products to preserve the planet's resources.
- nuclease and protease were found to increase the removal efficiency of complex biological and protein soiling on various fabrics, in particular cotton, synthetic, mixed, delicate fabrics, as well as to increase the detergent efficiency by more than 15% on various fabrics while maintaining surfactant content based on components of natural origin.
- Nuclease and protease are understood to be raw materials containing the respective pure active ingredients as well as technical impurities that may have formed during production of the target raw materials.
- Nuclease produced by modern non-GMO biotechnology methods, is an active enzyme that cleaves insoluble nucleic substrates with phosphorus diether bonds.
- Protease acts as an additive enzyme to break down peptide bonds in the most common proteinaceous contaminants, as well as in exfoliated or peeled epidermal cells.
- An additional property is the regulation of the kinetics of nucleic acid enriched sweat crystal formation, for deep hygienic cleansing and whitening of clothes.
- odourous aromatic substances represented by different classes of organic substances: aldehydes and ketones, terpenes, amines, indoles, sulphur-containing components (mercaptans), organic acids and their esters, phenols and cresols.
- the innovative complex according to claim 1, comprising in particular nuclease and protease (subtilisin), aims at effective cleaning and removal of biocontamination through regulation of reaction kinetics of nucleic acids breakdown and sweat crystals formation, increasing washing efficiency of household cleaning products and neutralization of unpleasant odours.
- the complex based on natural and biodegradable components is effective in a pH range of 6.0-11.0 in the presence of different synthetic and natural components, that allows its use as a part of wide range of household chemistry products for washing of different fabrics.
- the components target complex biological contaminations on various fabrics and also bind excreted metabolic products with an unpleasant aroma.
- the combined use of the components of the claimed composition in a single agent leads to an increase in the kinetics of the enzymatic cleavage reaction of complex biological contaminants by increasing the activity of nuclease due to protease (subtilisin), which allows for fast spot removal even in conditions of cold water.
- protease subtilisin
- Aggressive inorganic surfactants and organic solvents, occlusive film-formers and alcohols, quaternary ammonium bases, silicones, optical brighteners, chlorine and phosphorus derivatives are absent in the composition, so it is possible to use detergents and cleaners with this composition on a regular basis without any harm to human skin.
- the combined use of these ingredients has a synergistic effect, providing complete care for different fabrics in a single household detergent for everyday use.
- the invention as a whole relates to the composition and its application, allowing to achieve technical results such as effective enzymatic biostain cleavage with simultaneous effective neutralisation of unpleasant odours on various types of fabrics and regulation of kinetics of crystallisation of sweat enriched with nucleic acids, with maintenance of long-term cleanliness and colour of fabrics in coordinates ⁇ L*a*b, which are not achieved or not sufficiently achieved by modern commercially available means in the present technical field.

Abstract
The invention relates to a composition comprising a serine protease, in particular subtilisin, a nuclease and specific surfactants, for the for the breakdown of hard-to-remove fixed skin sebum and regulation of kinetics of sweat crystal formation on fabrics of various materials. The composition can be included in a laundry washing detergent and can be used in a method for cleaning fabrics and/or for fabric care.
Description
- The invention relates to a biodegradable deoxyribonuclease-based composition, particularly a laundry washing composition, for the breakdown of hard-to-remove fixed skin sebum and regulation of kinetics of sweat crystal formation on fabrics of various materials. The composition is intended to be included in detergents for fabric care, application of which increases efficiency of removal of fixed biocontaminations and human biostains enriched with nucleic acids, as well as regulation of sweat crystallization and decreases intensity of unpleasant smells. The composition is biodegradable, has a safe effect on the skin and can be used to prepare household detergents for sensitive skin, such as dry, liquid, concentrated laundry detergents, surface washes, with lasting cleanliness and a pleasant fragrance. The use of the composition may help to reduce the allergen load on the consumer caused by the specific effect on the bacterial flora.
- The development of household care products with improved performance for the consumer remains one of the most promising trends in the home care sector. According to analysts, consumers in developed European countries (France, UK, Germany, Italy) have become 39% more likely to pay attention to the composition of the laundry detergent they buy and carefully examine the ingredients for safety for humans and the environment [survey of 1,933 people using the Kantar Profiles/Mintel resource; A year of innovation in fabric and dish care, 2021, Mintel]. More than 65% of Chinese consumers are willing to pay more for household detergents containing natural substances that are as effective as traditional synthetic laundry detergents [KuRunData/Mintel survey of 2,100 people; A year of innovation in fabric and dish care, 2021, Mintel]. 31% of Canadian consumers are looking for household cleaning products without harmful chemical additives [Kantar Profiles/Mintel survey of 1,429 people; A year of innovation in fabric and dish care, 2021, Mintel]. 49% of consumers in Peru and other Latin American countries would like to see more ethical and effective household cleaning products with clear environmental initiatives by brands at various points of sale. [survey of 1,000 people by Offerwise/Mintel; A year of innovation in fabric and dish care, 2021, Mintel].
- The activity of various compounds, in particular proteases and nucleases, has been investigated to achieve a high cleaning capacity of household cleaners. However, their combined use to date has presented a number of challenges of a biochemical nature, as proteases cleave peptide bonds in proteins and nucleases cleave phosphodiester bonds in nucleic acids (Veluchamy et al., 2011; Morales-Garcia et al., 2020).
- Subtilisin is a proteolytic enzyme of the serine proteinase class. It is produced by bacteria mainly of the genus Bacillus, particularly Bacillus subtilis, to protect against other microorganisms. Subtilisin is involved in the cleavage of proteins through the hydrolysis of peptide bonds. It initiates a nucleophilic attack on the peptide bond via a serine residue that is located in its active site (Marget et al., 2022). The enzyme has antimicrobial and fungicidal properties and inhibits the formation of microbial biofilms. Subtilisin is widely used in household chemicals, cosmetics, food processing and pharmaceuticals (Veluchamy et al., 2011).
- As subtilisin is a protease that cleaves proteins, including nucleases, it is used in stability experiments. Nucleases are a broad group of enzymes that cleave phosphodiester bonds between nucleic acid subunits. A distinction is made between ribonucleases (RNases) and deoxyribonucleases (DNases). The first cleaves ribonucleic acids (RNA), the latter cleaves deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA).
- Taniuchi et al. investigated the stability of the staphylococal nuclease and used subtilisin along with other nucleases. The authors showed that subtilisin cleaves the N-terminus of the nuclease (residues 1 to 5) (Taniuchi et al., 1969). Subtilisin can not only cleave nucleases but also inhibit the nuclease activity of enzymes. Yu et al. investigated the activity of the enzyme RecB, which has chelicase and nuclease activities. Although scientists had previously shown that the 30 kDa domain at the C-terminus of RecB has nuclease activity, no such activity was detected after treatment with subtilisin (Yu et al., 1998). Hauser and Gray Jr. showed that subtilisin cleaves proteobacterium Alteromonas espejiana F and S nucleases and critically reduces their exonuclease activities against duplex DNA (Hauser et al., 1990). All the mentioned nucleases have DNAase activity, as does the nuclease described in the present patent application.
- Despite the conflict between subtilisin and deoxyribonuclease described in the literature, the authors of the invention unexpectedly found a synergistic effect between subtilisin and bionuclease derived from fungi and yeast-like fungi if, and only if, a surfactant as defined as per component C) in claim 1 of the attached claim set is added. When these three components A, B and C are used together as defined in claim 1, a high cleaning performance of the composition is observed. It is important to note that the applicants' own studies and experiments also showed that the addition of EDTA or replacement of component C) of claim 1 with EDTA produced no success, which appears to be due to digestion and/or inhibition of the nuclease proteinase, as indicated with reference to prior art studies (no experimental data are provided). In addition, on the other hand, additional data of the applicants (not presented in the present application) show that the advantageous technical and synergistic effect provided by the combination of the claimed protease and nuclease can be further enhanced by adding glycerol to the said composition as an additional component. The technical result of the innovative combination or complex based on nuclease and protease (subtilisin) consists in effective removal of biostains and regulation of kinetics of crystal formation of sweat enriched with nucleic acids, removal of unpleasant smells and keeping enzymatic stability of enzymes in combined presence in laundry detergents compositions. The complex is active over a wide pH range, in particular at a pH of 6.0-11.0, and over a wide temperature range, in particular from +15 to +60 °C, which broadens the scope of application in eco-friendly products to preserve the planet's resources.
- The combination of nuclease and protease (subtilisin) was found to increase the removal efficiency of complex biological and protein soiling on various fabrics, in particular cotton, synthetic, mixed, delicate fabrics, as well as to increase the detergent efficiency by more than 15% on various fabrics while maintaining surfactant content based on components of natural origin. Nuclease and protease (subtilisin) are understood to be raw materials containing the respective pure active ingredients as well as technical impurities that may have formed during production of the target raw materials.
- Combining the components allows for synergistic action and maintains efficacy at a lower percentage of input of the individual components. Nuclease, produced by modern non-GMO biotechnology methods, is an active enzyme that cleaves insoluble nucleic substrates with phosphorus diether bonds. Protease (subtilisin) acts as an additive enzyme to break down peptide bonds in the most common proteinaceous contaminants, as well as in exfoliated or peeled epidermal cells. An additional property is the regulation of the kinetics of nucleic acid enriched sweat crystal formation, for deep hygienic cleansing and whitening of clothes. It also neutralises odourous aromatic substances represented by different classes of organic substances: aldehydes and ketones, terpenes, amines, indoles, sulphur-containing components (mercaptans), organic acids and their esters, phenols and cresols.
- The innovative complex according to claim 1, comprising in particular nuclease and protease (subtilisin), aims at effective cleaning and removal of biocontamination through regulation of reaction kinetics of nucleic acids breakdown and sweat crystals formation, increasing washing efficiency of household cleaning products and neutralization of unpleasant odours. The complex based on natural and biodegradable components is effective in a pH range of 6.0-11.0 in the presence of different synthetic and natural components, that allows its use as a part of wide range of household chemistry products for washing of different fabrics. The components target complex biological contaminations on various fabrics and also bind excreted metabolic products with an unpleasant aroma. Thus, the combined use of the components of the claimed composition in a single agent leads to an increase in the kinetics of the enzymatic cleavage reaction of complex biological contaminants by increasing the activity of nuclease due to protease (subtilisin), which allows for fast spot removal even in conditions of cold water. A distinctive feature is that the components in the stated concentrations act only against difficult soiling and do not affect the consumer appearance of most fabrics, in particular cotton, synthetic, mixed and delicate. Aggressive inorganic surfactants and organic solvents, occlusive film-formers and alcohols, quaternary ammonium bases, silicones, optical brighteners, chlorine and phosphorus derivatives are absent in the composition, so it is possible to use detergents and cleaners with this composition on a regular basis without any harm to human skin. The combined use of these ingredients has a synergistic effect, providing complete care for different fabrics in a single household detergent for everyday use.
- Thus, the invention as a whole relates to the composition and its application, allowing to achieve technical results such as effective enzymatic biostain cleavage with simultaneous effective neutralisation of unpleasant odours on various types of fabrics and regulation of kinetics of crystallisation of sweat enriched with nucleic acids, with maintenance of long-term cleanliness and colour of fabrics in coordinates ΔL*a*b, which are not achieved or not sufficiently achieved by modern commercially available means in the present technical field.

- The examples included in the present description are not intended to limit the claimed invention and are merely intended to illustrate and confirm the achievement of the expected technical results. These examples are among the many experimental data obtained by the authors of the invention which confirm the effectiveness of the means within the scope of the invention. With regard to the examples of the invention given below, it should be noted that a bioprotease having the CAS number 9014-01-1 and a bionuclease having the CAS number 9003-98-9 were used.
- Before proceeding to a detailed examination of the examples illustrating the invention according to the claims, it should be recalled that the present invention was made on the basis of the surprising discovery that component C) appears to be a "game-changer" for combining components A) and B) to obtain beneficial and synergistic technical effects of the claimed composition, as described in paragraph [0007] above. When these three components A, B and C are used together as defined in claim 1, a high cleaning performance of the composition was observed. It is important to note that the applicants' own studies and experiments also showed that the addition of EDTA or replacement of component C) of claim 1 with EDTA had no effect(no experimental data are provided herewith), which appears to be due to digestion and/or inhibition of the nuclease by the proteinase, as indicated with reference to prior art studies mentioned above. In addition, on the other hand, additional data of the applicants (not presented in the present application) show that the advantageous technical and synergistic effect provided by the combination of the claimed protease and nuclease can be further enhanced by adding glycerol to the said composition as an additional component.

- A laboratory study of the detergent effectiveness of the composition as part of a universal liquid laundry detergent was carried out. As a base for introducing the components, a liquid universal laundry detergent for white and coloured laundry was used, as defined in Table 1.
- The test methodology is based on the generally recognised recommendations of the European Association A.I.S.E. [A.I.S.E. Laundry Detergent Testing Guidelines Minimum requirements for comparative detergents testing, see
https://www.aise.eu/documents/document/20180625164030-laundry_detergent testing_guidelines_v_5_2_june_2018_.pdf,
to determine the detergent efficacy with regard to stain removal index (SRI) and the values L,a,b. The SRI is calculated using the formula from the ASTM D 4265 Standard guide for evaluating stain removal performance in home laundering [DOI: 10.1520/D4265-14]. This guide was prepared by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Committee D-12 on soaps and other detergents and was published in 2014. This test evaluates the effectiveness of the composition in removing fresh and stale stains of various nature from cotton and synthetic materials simulating actual washing conditions. Washing was carried out in a Bosch WAB 24272 CE washing machine. Common recommendations in the European Union and Russian Federation were chosen as test conditions, in particular a temperature of 40 °C, a water hardness of 10.9 °dH and a standard wash mode (mixed fabrics). The concentration of the universal liquid detergent for white and coloured laundry was 4.5 g/l per standard load of a washing machine being 2-4 kg. Three repetitions (n=3) were carried out, and the deviation was no more than 0.18% for each sample. - Hard-to-remove biostains of different nature were used for the test (Table 4). The selected stubborn biostains allowed the overall detergent efficacy of the formulation to be assessed, as well as the efficacy against individual contaminants due to the presence of the composition of the invention.
Table 4. Biostains and biocontaminants tested from A.I.S.E. Designation Composition Type EMPA 106 mineral oil/soot pigment-oil-based, dispersible EMPA 118 skin grease/pigment pigment-oil-based, dispersible EMPA 116 blood/milk/ink mixed: protein + pigment EMPA 111 blood enzymatic protein CFT CS-27 starch/dye enzymatic amylase CFT CS-44 chocolate drink mixed: protein + bleach EMPA 164 grass mixed: protein + bleach C-P244PDE human sebum with DNA mixed: enzymatic + pigment - SRI is a quantitative measure of the removal of dirt and stains in units. The values are based on whiteness L and chromaticity a,b, calculated mathematically using a special formula from ASTM D 4265-14. The method has numerous advantages, in particular, high accuracy, reproducibility, low error rate (less than 5%), takes into account colours of laundry and their change in the process of washing, different types of fabric and is the closest to the real visual perception and balances out the effect of optical dyes, common in detergents for laundry washing. A difference of 2 or more SRI units is effective and statistically significant. In practical experience, increased 1 unit of SRI corresponds to 5% increased detergent efficacy and gives a significant contribution to the formulation.
- According to the results of evaluation of effectiveness and removal rate of stubborn biostains of different nature, it was established that the studied composition in the liquid universal laundry detergent for white and colored laundry has a strong stain-removing effect in respect of complex soiling of protein, pigment and oil, mixed nature based on low-fusible and refractory saturated and/or unsaturated acids and their monoacyl, diacyl and triacylglycerides, nucleic acids, coloured pigments and organic biopolymers, compared to the comparison means, not containing the composition according to the invention.
- At the end of the study, marked changes were observed in the assessed index of removal efficiency of stubborn biostains. According to the dynamics of the index, the addition of high performance bionuclease in combination with bioprotease together with selected components of the composition increased the degree of removal of complex pigment-oil, food, biological (blood, sebum, sweat) stains based on saturated and/or unsaturated acids and acylglycerides and nucleic acid derivatives. The addition of 0.006% bioprotease increased the SRI index by 54.2 units for protein, food enzymatic and stained contaminants saturated with biological substances based on peptides and proteins. When the components were combined, an increase in SRI was observed. The composition with 0.006% bioprotease and 0.005% bionuclease increased SRI by 77.9 units for all stains and in particular for sweat, skin sebum, grease and blood based on nucleic acids, showing synergism between the components and statistically significant result in removing biostains during washing (p<0.05). The base sample without the composition of the invention did not show a very high removal of the selected biostains, indicating a lack of efficacy of the surfactants in removing the soiling during laundry (Table 5).
- Complex biological contamination based on saturated and/or unsaturated acids and their acylglycerides, nucleic acids and protein residues, are difficult to remove in laundry washing due to fixation in hard to reach places and fibres of different fabrics, the formation of "biofilms" of skin sebum, oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and insufficient action of surfactants. High levels of surfactants increase the residue on the fibres of the fabric, create large amounts of foam and drastically reduce the durability of the fabric, which can negatively affect the environment, increase water consumption, reduce washing efficiency and significantly increase fabric wear and colour fade.
- The composition of a universal liquid detergent for washing coloured and white laundry based on natural aerobically biodegradable surfactants, bioprotease and bionuclease allows effective removal of soiling from surface and hard-to-reach areas of various fabrics, thus reducing the total amount of surfactants in household detergents, maintaining dermatological safety for humans and achieving almost complete removal of biological soiling from the laundry. Removal of fatty grease stains, sweat and sebum crystals, epidermal cell proteins and exfoliated particles provides a hygienic function, prevents excessive sorption of contaminants on fabric surfaces, rapid accumulation of bad smells on garments and reduces the number of washings in the long term. Increased SRI demonstrates high light-reflectivity of the fabric, the appearance of whiteness and a reduction of jaundice on the surface of the garment, indicating crystal-clear laundry without optical brighteners. The addition of bionuclease improves the effectiveness of removing food stains (cocoa, grass, fruit) and blood stains without damaging the fabric, and allows to regulate the content of bioprotease in the product, without exceeding the dermatological tolerance of protease in laundry detergents from HERA and ECHA. The reduced content of enzymes, in particular proteases, and surfactants allows for low toxicity, low skin irritation potential on the hands and the possibility of allergic reactions in humans when wearing laundry washed with the product.
- A laboratory study of the detergent efficacy of the composition in a powdered detergent for washing white laundry with the claimed composition was carried out. A powdered laundry detergent for coloured laundry was used as a base for introducing components, as shown in Table 2.
- The test methodology is based on the generally recognised recommendations of the European Association A.I.S.E. [A.I.S.E. Laundry Detergent Testing Guidelines Minimum requirements for comparative detergents testing, see

The concentration of powder detergent for washing white laundry was 7.0 g/l per standard washing machine load of 2-4 kg. Three repetitions (n=3) were carried out, and the deviation was no more than 0.20% for each sample. - Hard-to-remove biostains of different nature were used for the test (Table 6). The selected stubborn biostains allowed the overall detergent efficacy of the formulation to be assessed, as well as the efficacy against individual contaminants due to the presence of the composition of the invention.

The addition of 0.05% bioprotease did not significantly increase the SRI with regard to the base product for biological contamination based on sebum, sweat crystals, bacterial biofilms and nucleic acid-rich skin epidermis. When the components were combined, an increase in SRI was observed. The composition with 0.05% bioprotease and 0.005% bionuclease increased the SRI by 4.7 units for the sweat and skin sebum biocontamination based on nucleic acids, which is a manifestation of synergy between the components and statistically significant result in biostain removal during washing (p<0.05). The base sample without the composition of the invention showed a low removal of the selected biostain, indicating a lack of efficacy of the surfactants for the removal of contaminants during laundering (Table 7).

- At the end of the study, marked changes were observed in the assessed index of removal efficiency of stubborn biostains. According to the dynamics of the index, the addition of high performance bionuclease in combination with bioprotease together with selected components of the composition increased the degree of removal of complex protein contamination based on proteins, nucleic acids and ink. The addition of 0.006% bioprotease increased the SRI index by 2 units with respect to blood stains, which would be discernible by the human eye in 1 shade. When the components were combined, an increase in SRI was observed. The composition with 0.006% bioprotease and 0.005% bionuclease increased the SRI index by 4.8 units with regard to protein and nucleic acid based contamination, which is a manifestation of synergy between the components and statistically significant result in the removal of biostains during washing (p<0.05). The base sample without the composition of the invention did not show high removal of the selected biostains, indicating insufficient efficacy of the surfactants for the removal of soiling during laundering (Table 9).

Removal of sweat crystals and sebum, epidermal cell proteins and exfoliated particles provides a hygienic function, prevents excessive sorption of contaminants on fabric surfaces, rapid accumulation of unpleasant odours on garments and reduces the number of washings in the long term. Increased SRI demonstrates high light-reflectivity of the fabric, the appearance of whiteness and a reduction of jaundice on the surface of the garment, indicating crystal-clear laundry without optical brighteners. The addition of a bionuclease enhances the removal of blood stains without damaging the fabric, and controls the bioprotease content of the product, without exceeding the dermatological tolerance of the protease in HERA and ECHA laundry detergents. The reduced content of enzymes, in particular proteases, and surfactants allows for low toxicity, low skin irritation potential on the hands and the possibility of allergic reactions in humans when wearing laundry washed with the product.
- A laboratory study of the detergent efficacy of the composition in a universal liquid laundry detergent was carried out. A universal liquid laundry detergent for white and coloured laundry listed in Table 1, containing no bionucleases and bioproteases, was used as the basis for introducing the components.
- The test methodology is based on the generally recognised recommendations of the European Association A.I.S.E. [A.I.S.E. Laundry Detergent Testing Guidelines Minimum requirements for comparative detergents testing, see
https://www.aise.eu/documents/document/20180625164030-laundry_detergent_testing_guidelines_v_5_2_june_2018_.pdf,
to determine the detergent efficacy with regard to the stain removal index (SRI) and the values L,a,b. The SRI is calculated using the formula from ASTM D 4265 Standard guide for evaluating stain removal performance in home laundering [DOI: 10.1520/D4265-14]. This guide was prepared by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Committee D-12 on soaps and other detergents and was published in 2014. This test evaluates the effectiveness of the composition in removing fresh and stale stains of various nature from cotton and synthetic materials, simulating actual washing conditions. Washing was carried out in a Miele washing machine. Common recommendations in the European Union and Russian Federation were chosen as test conditions, in particular a low temperature mode of 30°C, water hardness of 15°dH, accelerated washing mode (cotton), ballast 4 kg. The concentration of the liquid all-purpose detergent for white and coloured laundry was 6.0 g/l per standard washing machine load of 2-4 kg. Three repetitions (n=2) were carried out, and the deviation was no more than 0.10 % for each sample. - Hard-to-remove biostains of different nature were used for the test (Table 10). The selected stubborn biostains allowed the overall detergent efficacy of the formulation to be assessed, as well as the efficacy against individual contaminants due to the presence of the composition of the invention.

The selected hard to remove nucleic acid based biostains allowed both the overall detergent efficacy of the formulation and the efficacy against individual contaminants to be evaluated due to the presence of a bionuclease and bioprotease according to the invention. The test was carried out in a TOM laboratory washing machine at 30° C, a washing time of 20 minutes, spin speed of 120 PRM, a water hardness of 15° dH, and a dosage of 3.33 g/l. The test was carried out twice (n=2). SRI was measured at Rem 460 nm.
Table 11. Biostains and biocontaminants tested from A.I.S.E. Designation Composition Type C-P244 DNA human sebum with DNA mixed: enzymatic + pigmental NZ-117 DNA human sebum with DNA mixed: enzymatic + pigmental - SRI is a quantitative measure of the removal of dirt and stains in units. The values are based on whiteness L and chromaticity a,b, calculated mathematically using a special formula from ASTM D 4265-14. The method has numerous advantages, in particular, high accuracy, reproducibility, low error (less than 5%), takes into account colours of laundry and their change in the process of washing, different types of fabric and is the closest to the real visual perception and levels the effect of optical dyes, common in detergents for laundry washing. A difference of 2 or more SRI units is effective and statistically significant. In practical experience, increased 1 unit of SRI corresponds to 5% increased detergent efficacy and gives a significant contribution to the formulation.
- According to the results of evaluation of efficiency and speed of removal of stubborn biostains of different nature, it was established that the studied composition in the liquid universal laundry detergent for white and colored laundry has a strong stain-removing effect in respect of complex soiling of protein, pigment-oil, polysaccharide, lipid, bleach and mixed nature based on low-fusible and refractory saturated and/or unsaturated acids and their mono-, diacyl- and triacylglycerides, nucleic acids, stained pigments and organic biopolymers.
- At the end of the study, marked changes were observed in the assessed SRI removal efficiency of difficult to remove biostains. According to the dynamics of the index, the addition of 0.0025% high-performance bionuclease in combination with 0.0035% bioprotease together with selected components of the composition increased the removal of complex pigmented oil, food, biological, stained and mixed soiling. When the components were combined, an increase was observed in SRI for all stains, and in particular for sweat, sebum, grease, nucleic acid based blood, which is a manifestation of synergism between the components and a statistically significant result in the removal of biostains during washing (p<0.05). The base product sample without bionuclease according to the invention did not show very high removal of selected biostains, indicating insufficient effectiveness of surfactants and bioprotease for the removal of soiling during laundry (Table 12).
- According to the index dynamics, the addition of a high-performance bionuclease in combination with a bioprotease together with the selected components of the composition increased the degree of removal of complex nucleic acid (DNA)-based sebum contaminants. The addition of 0.005% bionuclease significantly increased the SRI relative to the base product with respect to biological contamination based on sebum, sweat crystals, bacterial biofilms and nucleic acid-rich skin epidermis. The composition with 0.0035% bioprotease and 0.005% bionuclease increased the SRI score by 4.7 units for nucleic acid-based sweat and sebum biocontamination, which is a manifestation of synergism between the components and statistically significant result in biostain removal during washing (p<0.05). The base sample without the composition of the invention showed a low removal of selected biostains, indicating the insufficient effectiveness of surfactants in removing these contaminants during laundering (Table 13).

** Best sreliable difference, statistically significant (p<0.05), more than 20% improvement in standard washing efficiency - The composition of the universal liquid detergent for washing coloured and white laundry based on the natural aerobically biodegradable surfactants, bioprotease and bionuclease allows effective removal of soiling from surface and hard-to-reach areas of various fabrics, thus reducing the total amount of surfactants in household detergents, maintaining dermatological safety for humans and achieving almost complete removal of all types of biological soiling from laundry. The combination of bionuclease and bioprotease significantly increases the overall washing efficiency against all types of stains, improving the removal of protein, mannan, pectin and cellulose based stains, indicating the role of nucleic acids in fixing contaminants. Consequently, the addition of a bionuclease improves the removal efficiency of food stains (cocoa, grass, fruit), blood stains and DNA-rich sebum stains without damaging the fabric and allows the bioprotease content of the product to be adjusted without exceeding the dermatological tolerance of the protease in HERA and ECHA laundry detergents.
- A laboratory study was carried out on the effectiveness of neutralising unpleasant food odours during washing with a universal liquid laundry detergent containing the composition according to the invention. The liquid universal laundry detergent for white and coloured laundry listed in Table 1, containing no bionucleases or bioproteases, was used as the basis for introducing the components.
- The test methodology was based on the scientific publication "Deodorizing Ability of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. (Dokudami) for Masking Garlic Odar - Hiromi Ikeura" to determine neutralization of unpleasant odours by the organoleptic method. The sources of unpleasant odours were strong food odours in an alcoholic solution: garlic extract, atlantic herring extract and oil acid extract, which is part of the fatty acids of sweat, sebum. This test evaluates the effectiveness of neutralising unpleasant odours using a composite of cotton and synthetic materials, simulating real washing conditions.
- The test was carried out on 4.5 cm × 9.0 cm pieces of cotton fabric which were pre-sprayed with these extracts by 3-fold spraying at a distance of 10-15 cm from the contaminated fabric sample. The tissue samples were then air dried in a horizontal position for 45-60 min. One sample obtained in this way was used as a control initial smell, and the other 4 samples after 20 min soaking in 1 l solution of laundry gel (4.5 g/l) was washed in a Linitest laboratory washing machine by 2 pieces in 100 g of this solution in 2 separate cups in the appropriate washing programme for 20 min at 40 °C with 2 subsequent rinses for 2 min. The samples were air dried horizontally for 2 hours at room temperature after washing.
- Comparison of odours was carried out organoleptically by comparing the initial smell of the fabric (unwashed) with the smell of fabric samples after washing by placing a fabric sample in the bottom of a 1 litre plastic cup. The odour of the original fabric was evaluated by intensity:
- 5 - there is no odour;
- 4 - a faint odour;
- 3 - noticeable odour;
- 2 - strong odour;
- 1 - very strong odour.
- The washing results were evaluated on an odour scale of 5 compared to the baseline:
- 5 - there is no odour;
- 4 - a faint odour;
- 3 - noticeable odour;
- 2 - the odour is slightly less than the original odour;
- 1 - there is almost no difference in odour.
- According to the results of evaluation of the effectiveness of neutralization of unpleasant odours, it was found that the studied composition in the liquid universal laundry detergent for white and colored laundry has a pronounced deodorizing effect against specific sources of odours based on sulfur compounds, amines and fatty acids of sebum. A single wash of contaminated fabric samples for 40 minutes eliminated unpleasant odours by more than 90%, indicating a pronounced effect of the product (Table 14). A single wash of contaminated fabrics with a base product without bioprotease and bionuclease did not achieve the same efficacy and did not eliminate odour, indicating a synergistic effect of the composition against unpleasant odours, including sweat and sebum.

**statistically significant result (p<0.01) - The composition of a universal liquid detergent for washing coloured and white laundry based on natural aerobically biodegradable surfactants, bioprotease and bionuclease allows effective removal of unpleasant odours from surfaces and hard-to-reach areas of various fabrics, thereby improving the organoleptic profile of the laundry. The combination of bionuclease and bioprotease significantly increases the overall deodorising effectiveness against common unpleasant odours, including sweat, nucleic acid-rich sebum.
- The washing effectiveness of the composition in a universal liquid laundry detergent was investigated in relation to sweat crystals enriched with nucleic acids and mineral deposits of sweat glands, and hard-to-remove fixable skin sebum. A liquid all-purpose laundry detergent for white and coloured laundry, as listed in Table 1, was used as the base for introducing the components.
- The test methodology is based on the study of cotton pillowcase samples before and after washing to determine the removal efficiency of hard-to-remove fixable skin sebum and to assess the kinetics of nucleic acid-rich sweat crystal formation. A group of 10 healthy volunteers took part in the study. At the beginning of the consumer study, participants were given clean white cotton pillowcases to use during the 14 days of the study. At the end of the study, participants returned the contaminated pillowcases, evaluated the aroma intensity using the methodology in Example 8, and the appearance of the pillowcases.
- Next, fabric samples (pillowcases) with contamination causing a specific odour and colour change with plaque formation were sent to the laboratory to study the surface and structure under an electron microscope in order to visualise the contamination before and after washing. A 2×2 cm2 piece was cut from a whole pillowcase sample for analysis, placed on a 76×26×1 mm slide and fixed with adhesive tape around the edges of the sample. A preliminary search for the most contaminated areas was carried out for subsequent high-resolution SEM imaging (FEI Teneo scanning electron microscope). Tissue surface imaging was performed using a FEI CorrSight confocal fluorescence microscope with localization of the most contaminated areas. To quantify the area and degree of contamination present, the images were analyzed to obtain data on the fraction of area from which the fluorescence signal from contamination arrives and the signal intensity. Based on the results, the proportion of contaminated area and the number and size of contaminant particles, in particular sweat crystals and dermal sebum, were estimated using ImageScope software.
- The samples were washed once in a Miele washing machine. Common recommendations in the European Union and Russian Federation were chosen as test conditions, in particular a temperature of 40 °C, a water hardness of 10.9 °dH and a standard wash mode (mixed fabrics). The concentration of the universal liquid detergent for white and coloured laundry was 5.0 g/l per standard washing machine load of a 2-4 kg. Three repetitions (n=3) were carried out and the measurement error was 0.20% or less for each sample.
- According to the results of evaluation of effectiveness of removal of hard-to-remove fixed skin sebum, it was found that the studied composition in the liquid universal laundry agent for white and coloured laundry has a pronounced washing effect against with regard to nucleic acid-based soiling compared to the means of comparison, not containing the composition according to the invention, and the initial condition of pillowcases. A statistically significant reduction of 83.07% in contaminated fabric surface area in 1 wash was observed, indicating high removal efficiency of these contaminants and deep hygienic cleaning in the laundry process (Table 15). Average size of particles of dirt and sweat crystals statistically significantly decreased by 34.27% in comparison with initial value and control (washes base), that allows to state about regulation of kinetics of sweat crystallization on fabrics from various material (Table 15).

Fig. 1 . - At the end of the consumer and laboratory trials, marked changes were observed in the assessed rate of removal of fixable sebum and reduction of nucleic acid-enriched sweat crystals. According to the dynamics of the indicator, the addition of a high-performance bionuclease in combination with a bioprotease together with selected components of the composition increased the removal of fixable nucleic acid-based skin sebum. The composition with 0.006% bioprotease and 0.005% bionuclease reduced invisible soiling by 83.07% after one wash, and reduced sweat crystal size by 34.27% after one wash, showing synergies between the components and a statistically significant result in hygienic cleaning of laundry after washing (p<0.05). Base sample without the composition according to the invention showed removal of selected biocontaminants due to surfactants, but poorly regulated the crystal formation of sweat enriched with nucleic acids, indicating insufficient effectiveness of surfactants for deep hygienic cleaning in the laundry, the subsequent preservation of bad odours and creating a favourable environment for the growth of microflora on the laundry.
- A laboratory study was carried out on the stability of the enzymes of the composition according to the invention, in particular bioproteases and bionucleases, in the universal liquid laundry detergent indicated in Table 1.
- The test was carried out in the Novozymes A/S laboratory using the company's own methodology to determine enzyme activity after 4 weeks in a chamber at 30 °C. This test evaluates the preservation of enzyme activity in the base of the finished product using an accelerated temperature stability technique to identify the residual activity over the shelf life and expiry live, and thus the efficacy of the product. Samples of the universal liquid laundry detergent indicated in Table 1 were prepared and bioprotease and bionuclease were added separately in one test specimen and together in another test specimen. The samples were incubated in a heat chamber for 4 weeks, then the enzyme activity was assessed according to Novozymes A/S developed methods for each enzyme. This assay detects any change in the activity of sensitive enzymes from the protease and nuclease groups. The measurment error for residual activity estimation is +3%. Tests were performed once (n=1).
- According to the results of evaluation of residual activity of enzymes it was found that the studied bioprotease, bionuclease and combination of enzymes retain their activity in conditions of said accelerated stability method (Table 16). The investigated composition based on bioprotease and bionuclease in the composition of liquid universal laundry agent for white and coloured laundry retains its high activity after 2 and 4 weeks of accelerated storage, which indicates the possibility of combined presence of two enzymes in household detergent formulations and preservation of high values of efficiency demonstrated in Examples 4-9.

The bionuclease is stable in the presence of bioprotease due to the selected combination of formulations given in Examples 1-3 and the use of aerobically biodegradable surfactant as a mycelling and stabilising agent. As the nuclease is not stable in the presence of the protease in most means, the results presented above show a new technical result achieved by the characteristics of the raw materials and the possibility of combined use to achieve the claimed effects of the composition according to the invention.
- The effects of the composition according to the invention, in particular bioproteases and bionucleases, on the destruction of biofilms formed by bacteria on the various house surfaces were investigated in the laboratory. The universal liquid household detergent (universal detergent) indicated in Table 17 was used as the base for incorporating the components of the composition. Samples of the liquid detergent with a pH of 7.5-8.0 were prepared under laboratory conditions.
Table 17. Formulation of the universal liquid detergent with the claimed composition No. Component Content, wt.% 1 purified water up to 100 2 alkyl carboxylate with the general formula: R1-CO2X1, wherein R1 is an alkyl and/or alkenyl group with a hydrocarbon chain length of 5 to 21 carbon atoms and X1 is an alkali and/or alkaline earth metal cation, ammonium, alkylammonium, alkanolammonium, glucoammonium, basic amino acid 1-15 3 alkyl glucoside with the general formula: R28-O-[G]p3, where R28 is an alkyl and/or alkenyl 2-15 group with a hydrocarbon chain length from 4 to 22 carbon atoms, G is a saccharide fragment containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms, p3 can take values from 1 to 4 4 bionuclease 0.001-0.25 5 bioprotease in the form of subtilisin 0.001-0.25 6 complexifier 0.1-0.8 7 cotton extract 0.05-0.15 8 citric acid monohydrate 0.01-0.3 9 preservative 0.2-0.8 - Microbial strains widely represented on various surfaces in the home were selected [Lax S., Smith D.P., Hampton-Marcell J. et al Longitudinal analysis of microbial interaction between humans and the indoor environment // Science, 2014, 345(6200): 1048-1052]: conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 29213, Escherichia coli ATCC® 25922, Klebsiella pneumoniae (Institute for Medical Microbiology, Giessen, Germany), Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC® 27853, and representatives of the normoflora Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC® 14990 and Micrococcus luteus (clinical isolate). The components of the composition were diluted separately and together in a universal liquid detergent to a concentration of 4 wt.%. The universal detergent without the components of the composition was used as a control.
- The method of analysis is based on the assessment of the antibiofilm activity of compounds and the biofilm-destroying activity of compounds. The first activity is related to the prevention of biofilm formation on surfaces, while the second activity is related to the destruction of already formed stable biofilm on surfaces for elimination and cleaning of surfaces. A special broth was used as a nutrient medium: tryptone 1.0%; yeast extract 0.5%; sodium chloride 0.5%; pH 8.0 [Kayumov et al., 2015], which was prepared from dry components. The medium was sterilized by autoclaving at 121°C for 20 minutes. Agarized medium contained additional 1.5% agar. Glucose was then added to 1% w/v.
- For quantitative analysis of biofilm formation by bacteria, it was stained with crystal violet [Peeters et al., 2008]. Microbial biofilms were formed by growing bacteria for two days on BM broth medium containing glucose (1% w/v) in adhesive plates, the culture liquid was removed and test compounds at concentrations of 4, 1, 0.25, 0.06% in a universal liquid detergent were added. After incubation at room temperature for 15 min, the liquid was removed and the wells were washed with PBS, then dried overnight. The wells were then incubated with 100 µl of a 0.5% solution of crystal violet (Sigma) dissolved in 96% ethanol, followed by a 20 minute incubation period. The plate was then washed with PBS 3-4 times after removing the crystal violet solution from the wells. After the plates were dried, 1 ml of 96% ethanol was added to the wells to elute crystal violet bound to the biofilm, and the optical density was measured at 550 nm using an Infinite 200 Pro microplate spectrophotometer (Tecan). Studies were performed three times (n=3) for statistical evaluation of M+SD results.
- The parameters for the overall evaluation of the effect of the components of the composition on microbial biofilms were the minimum biofilm suppressing compound concentration (%) and % of the residual microbial biofilm after 15 minutes of exposure to the compounds in the base of said universal liquid detergent, determined by microbiologists according to the results of a laboratory study. The indicator of the residual biofilm of microorganisms makes it possible to assess the effect on the house bacteria and to draw conclusions about the inherent effect of the components of the composition on the various groups of microflora in the house. The general positive tendency of application of components of the applied composition - absence of negative influence on normal microflora of the house and strong antibiofilm effect on conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic microflora, which will provide maintenance of natural nonpathogenic microflora on various surfaces of the house for health of house residents.
- Based on the evaluation of the effect on biofilms of representatives of normal and transient house microflora, it was found that the composition of the invention has a high antibiofilm activity against various bacteria. Bioprotease and bionuclease have different activity against biofilms of bacteria due to chemical composition of biofilms and predominance of one or another component. It is known that in biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli protein components dominate, while in biofilms of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa - DNA. The highest antibiofilm activity is achieved by combining a bioprotease and a bionuclease in the base of a universal detergent containing alkyl and/or alkyl polyethylene glycol sulphate with the general formula R1-O(-CH2-CH2-O)n1(SO3) n2 X1. Combining the components of the composition in a single agent makes it possible to achieve a high biofilm effect at a minimum antibiofilm concentration of both components (Table 18). It is worth noting that the components of the composition have low antibiofilm activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis and only at high concentrations, which makes it possible to target the microflora of house surfaces and retain favourable micro-organisms for dermatological tolerance and the health of house residents.
- At the end of the study a significant reduction in the biofilm mass of E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae was observed after 15 minutes of exposure. Individually components are able to destroy biofilms of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms, but the combination of components of the composition allows to achieve a synergistic antibiofilm effect with preservation of growth of S. epidermidis normoflora (Table 19). Bioprotease allows to destroy biofilms saturated with protein components, while the bionuclease is effective against biofilms of P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae, saturated with DNA, which are reservoirs for the growth of microorganisms with resistance to antibacterial agents. The combination of bioprotease and bionuclease (1:1 ratio) can reduce the residual biofilm mass of microorganisms from 20% to 45% during 15 minutes of exposure.
- The microflora of the home is a harmonious system, so it is important to maintain a balance of micro-organisms both on the skin and on surfaces. In particular, Staphylococcus aureus, together with other conditionally pathogenic microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, can form stable biofilms from the exopolysaccharide matrix and contribute to various dermatological diseases, including atopic dermatitis [E. Scott, S. Bloomfield. The survival and transfer of microbial contamination via cloths, hands and utensils. J. Appl. Bacteriol. 68 (1990) 271-278].
- The components of the composition according to the invention specifically influence the formation of stable protective biofilms of microorganisms, to which resistance quickly develops, but do not have a negative effect on the normoflora, which allows to provide directed protection against the development of conditionally pathogenic representatives and to maintain a harmonious biodiversity of the house microflora. The reduction of biofilms of conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic strains will help to shift biodiversity towards beneficial resident skin microflora and improve the dermatological condition of the skin in general when in contact with various surfaces. Thus, combining the components into a single complex makes it possible to achieve a synergistic effect against conditionally pathogenic microorganisms (S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae) and to preserve representatives of normal microflora (S. epidermidis). The claimed composition has a high antibiofilm effect against conditionally pathogenic transient strains that are a causal factor in the development of dermatological and systemic diseases and representatives of the transient microflora at home. Because it preserves the normal microflora of the surfaces of the home at the place of application, it is possible to use it as part of household cleaning products on a regular basis.
