Description

DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS THAT COMPRISE A PHOSPHOLIPASE FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to detergent compositions that include compositions for laundry and cleaning of hard surfaces, comprising a phospholipase.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The performance of a detergent product is judged by a number of factors, including the ability to remove dirt, and the ability to prevent the redeposition of soils, or the degradation products of the soils on the articles in the wash. In particular, food dirt is commonly difficult to remove effectively from a dirty article. Dirt and greasy / oily stains represent a well-known cleaning challenge commonly solved by the inclusion of a lipolytic enzyme in the detergent compositions. Lipolytic enzymes for an improved removal of dirt and spots containing triglycerides in the fabrics are in fact well known in the art.

The dirt with too much color or 'dried' derived, for example, from fruits and / or vegetables, are also dirt particularly difficult to remove. These colored stains contain highly stained bodies of color based on carotenoid compounds such as a-, β- and β-carotene and lycopene and xanthophylls (zeaxanthin or capsanthin), porphyrins such as chlorophyll and flavonoid pigments and coloring components. This last group of coloring components based on natural flavonoids comprises the dyes and pigments of anthocyanins with too much color based on pelargonidin, cyanidin, delphidin and their methyl esters and antoxanthines. These compounds are the origin of most of the colors orange, red, violet and blue that occur in fruits, and are abundant in all blackberries, cherry, red and black currant, grapefruit, passion fruit, oranges, lemons, apples , pears, pomegranate, red cabbage, red beets and also flowers. Carotenoid soils are derived from carrots and tomatoes, and in any processed product that contains these components, as well as certain tropical fruits and saffron. It is also known that ballpoint ink stains are color spots that are very difficult to remove. Traditionally they are incorporated in detergent compositions high levels of bleaching agents, optionally with bleach precursors. Bleaching agents are compounds that are precursors of hydrogen peroxide that is formed in the course of the process of washed. Perborates and percarbonates are the most important examples of said hydrogen peroxide precursors. In addition, the complex nature of everyday "body" soils found typically in pillowcases, shirts, collars and socks, provides a difficult and continuous cleaning challenge for cleaning products. These soils are difficult to remove completely and it is common for residues to accumulate on the fabric, leading to percussion and yellowing. As can be seen from the foregoing, there is a continuing need to formulate detergent compositions having excellent detergency performance. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a detergent composition that provides effective and efficient cleaning of everyday, greasy / oily and colored body stains and / or dirt. A further objective is to provide a detergent composition that provides improved cleanliness and whiteness of realistic fabric articles. The above objective has been solved by formulating detergent compositions comprising a phospholipase. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a laundry and / or fabric care composition comprising a phospholipase, which provides cleaning and whiteness of realistic fabric articles. In a second embodiment, the present invention relates to a composition for cleaning hard surfaces comprising a phospholipase.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a detergent composition that provides improved cleaning of everyday, greasy / oily and colored body stains and / or dirt. A subsequent objective is to provide a detergent composition that provides improved cleanliness and whiteness of realistic fabric articles. The above objective has been solved by formulating detergent compositions further comprising one or more detergent ingredients selected from an anionic surfactant, a dispersant and / or another detergent enzyme, especially a lipase, amylase, protease and an enzyme that increases the water solubility of dirt / spots containing saturated fatty acids. Phospholipase enzymes are described in the art: J07177884 describes an enzyme preparation comprising a phospholipase for cleansers and skin processing. GB 2 247 025 describes an enzymatic composition for dishwashing or rinsing comprising a phospholipase. In combination with proteolytic enzymes, it is mentioned that said composition is effective to remove dirt from egg yolk and consequently reduce spots on glassware. However, the use of phospholipase has never been previously recognized for the effective cleaning of everyday, greasy / oily and colored body stains and / or dirt in compositions for laundry or hard surface cleaning.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to detergent compositions, including laundry and hard surface cleaning compositions, which comprise a phospholipase for effective removal of everyday, greasy / oily and colored body stains and / or dirt.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An essential element of the compositions of the present invention is a phospholipase. It has surprisingly been found that the compositions of the present invention provide effective and efficient cleaning of daily, greasy / oily and colored body blemishes and / or dirt. Another object is to provide a composition for laundry and / or fabric care that provides improved cleanliness and whiteness of realistic fabric articles. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the ability of phospholipase to cut lecithin or phosphorylated lipids results in water soluble lysophospholipids, which are easier to remove in a washing procedure. In addition, it is believed that food and / or vegetable materials contain very low levels of phospholipids that bind to colored bodies and intensify their color. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the phospholipids releases the colored bodies and therefore reduces the intensity of the color.

The phospholipases suitable for the present invention are: EC 3.1.1.32 Phospholipase A1 EC 3.1.1.4 Phospholipase A2 EC 3.1.1.5 Lisophospholipase 5 EC 3.1.4.3 Phospholipase C EC 3.1.4.4 Phospholipase D The phospholipases which are preferred for detergent compositions of the present invention are EC 3.1.1.4 Phospholipase A2 and EC 3.1.1.5 Lisophospholipase. The commercially available phospholipases are Lecitase® from Novo Nordisk A / S and Phospholipase A2 from Sigma. Phospholipases are generally included in the compositions of the present invention at a level of from 0.0001% to 2%, preferably 0.001% to 1%, most preferably 0.05% to 0.5% pure enzyme by weight of the total composition. The phospholipases that are preferred for specific applications are of the alkaline type, ie, enzymes having an enzymatic activity of at least 10%, preferably at least 25%, most preferably at least 40% of their maximum activity at a pH ranging from 7 to 12. The most preferred phospholipases are enzymes having their maximum activity at a pH ranging from 7 to 12. The enzymes mentioned above may have any suitable origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast. The origin can also be mesophilic or extremophile (psicrófilo, psicrótrofo, thermophilic, barophilic, alkalophilic, acidophilic, halogenophilic, etc.). Purified or non-purified forms of these enzymes can be used. In these days it is a common practice to modify wild-type enzymes by means of genetic manipulation or protein techniques to optimize their efficiency of performance in the detergent compositions of the invention. For example, the variants can be designed in such a way that the compatibility of the enzyme with the ingredients of said commonly found compositions is increased. Alternatively, the variant can be designed such that the optimum pH, bleach or chelator stability, catalytic activity and the like of the enzyme variant are designed to conform to the particular cleaning application. In particular, attention should be focused on amino acids sensitive to oxidation in the case of bleach stability and on surface charges for compatibility with the surfactant. The isoelectric point of said enzymes can be modified by the replacement of some charged amino acids, for example, an increase in the isoelectric point could help to improve compatibility with anionic surfactants. The stability of the enzymes can be further increased by the creation of additional salt bridges for example, and by reinforcing the calcium binding sites to increase chelator stability.

Detergent components The detergent compositions of the invention may also contain additional detergent components. The precise nature of these additional components and the levels of incorporation thereof will depend on the physical form of the composition and the nature of the cleaning operation for which it will be used. The detergent compositions also preferably comprise one or more detergent ingredients selected from anionic surfactant, a dispersant and / or another detergent enzyme, especially a lipase, amylase, protease and an enzyme that increases the water solubility of soils / soils containing fatty acids. saturated.

The granulated compositions can also be in the form "compact"; the liquid compositions may also be in a form "concentrated." In a preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a composition for laundry and / or fabric care comprising a phospholipase (examples 1-17). In a second embodiment, the present invention relates to compositions for cleaning hard surfaces (Examples 18- The compositions of the invention can, for example, be formulated as dishwashing compositions by hand and machine, including laundry additive compositions. and compositions suitable for use in soaking and / or pretreatment of soiled fabrics, fabric softening compositions added during rinsing and compositions for use in general domestic hard surface cleaning operations, said compositions containing phospholipase can provide fabric cleaning, removal of blemishes, maintenance of whiteness, softening, appearance of color and inhibition of dye transfer when formulated as laundry detergent compositions When formulated as compositions suitable for use in a machine laundry method, the compositions of the invention they contain preferable Both a surfactant and a builder compound and additionally one or more detergent components preferably selected from organic polymeric compounds, bleaching agents, additional enzymes, suds suppressors, dispersants, lime soap dispersants, suspending and anti-redeposition agents, are used. dirt and corrosion inhibitors.
