Description

DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS THAT COMPRISE AN ENZYME THAT DEGRADES THE RAW STARCH FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising an enzyme that degrades raw starch. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The operation of a detergent product is judged by many factors including the ability to remove soils. Therefore, detergent compositions such as surfactants, bleaching agents and enzymes have been incorporated into the detergents. A specific example of this is the use of proteases, lipases, amylases and / or cellulases. Proteases are enzymes that are commonly used in cleaning applications. Proteases are known for their ability to hydrolyze other proteins. This capacity has been exploited through the incorporation of naturally occurring or genetically engineered protease enzymes in laundry detergent compositions. The inclusion of lipolytic enzymes of detergent compositions is known to improve cleaning performance, for example, it increases the removal of dirt and stains containing triglycerides from the fabrics. The activity of the cellulase is one in which the cellulose fibers or substrates are attacked by the cellulase and depends on the particular function of the cellulase, which may be endo- or exocellulase, and of the respective hemi-cellulases. The cellulosic structures are depolymerized or divided into smaller fractions and thus are more soluble or dispersible. This particular activity on fabrics provides cleaning, rejuvenation, softening and tactile sensation characteristics generally improved to the fabric structure. Amiiase enzymes have long been recognized in detergent compositions that provide for the removal of starchy food residues or starch films from crockery or other hard surfaces or provide cleaning performance in dirty starch as well as other soiled ones that are typically found in laundry and dish washing applications. Indeed, starch materials such as amylose and amylopectin, constitute one of the main components of the dirty / stains encountered in washing clothes, dishes or hard surfaces. On the other hand, the textile industry uses starch materials in its textile finishing processes. Therefore, amylase enzymes have been incorporated for some time into detergent products for the removal of spots containing starch. However, it has surprisingly been found that such commonly used detergent amylases can not effectively hydrolyze raw starch materials. A substantial part of the starch material effectively remains in the raw form even when processed within the food or textile industries. In particular, it has been discovered that food stains such as rice, spaghetti, potatoes, corn, cereals, etc. recovered on fabrics, tableware and other hard surfaces contain a substantial amount of raw starch. Additionally, it has surprisingly been discovered that such crude starch remains on the surfaces, trapping additional dirt, and when it is on a cloth surface, it leads to a dirty appearance of the surface to be cleaned. It can be observed from the foregoing, that there is a need to formulate detergent products that solve the elimination of such soiled / stains containing raw starch. Accordingly, the aforementioned purpose has been met by the formulation of a detergent composition comprising a very efficient enzyme for degrading raw starch. Such enzymes are characterized by an activity ratio to degrade raw corn starch (Ra) to activity to degrade gelatinized starch (Ga): [Ra / Ga] greater than 0.2, preferably greater than 0.35. It has been further discovered that the operation of the detergent compositions of the present invention is improved by the addition of an additional enzyme that is selected from an iipase., a protease, an α-amylase and / or a pullulanase (a neopululanase, a pullulanase type 11) and / or by the addition of a detergent ingredient selected from nonionic surfactants and / or flocculating agents. EP 368 341 discloses detergent compositions comprising a surfactant and at least one starch debranching enzyme which is selected from the group consisting of pullulanase, isopululanase and isoamylase and preferably with an improved detergent a-amylase for starch fouling. GB 2 228 945 discloses an automatic washing machine washing composition comprising an enzyme capable of breaking α-1,6-glucosidic bonds. WO98 / 26078 is directed to enzymes of mutant α-amylase H with improved stability. EP 450 627 discloses a novel detergent composition containing an alkaline pullulanase with excellent detergency against starchy soils. W094 / 19468 discloses a DNA fragment containing a gene for alkaline pullulanase useful as a component of detergents. U.S. Patent 5,665,585 is directed to an amino acid and DNA sequence of a singular P-giucoamylase having a high debranching activity, a Trichoderma host cell transformed with such sequences, the expression of such recombinant glucoamylase P and the industrial uses in particular fermentation of alcohol, for recombinant enzymes and host transformed with them. U.S. Patent 3,640,877 discloses a detergent preparation containing a glucose and oxidase system of glucose or starch, amyloglucosidase and glucose oxidase as a precursor of hydrogen peroxide and a hydroxylamine which stabilizes the hydrogen peroxide formed during use of the detergent. W095 / 29996 discloses a novel glucose oxidase, a process for its production and its use in bleaching and detergent compositions as well as its use as a dough strengthener. Such an enzyme has many applications in the personal care area and the bakery industry, preferably in combination with another enzyme that is selected from amyloglucosidase, lactoperoxidase, α-amylase or a maltogenic exo-amylase. However, the use of a very efficient enzyme in the degradation of raw starch, ie, an enzyme that is characterized by a Ra / Ga greater than 0.2, for the elimination of dirty stains containing raw starch in a detergent composition of washing clothes has never been recognized before. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to detergent compositions, including laundry detergent compositions, dish washing, and / or hard surfaces, which comprise an enzyme that degrades raw starch which is characterized by an activity ratio to degrade starch from crude corn (Ra) to activity to degrade gelatinized starch (Ga): [Ra / Ga] greater than 0.2, preferably greater than 0.35. Such compositions provide excellent stain and stain removal containing starch, and when formulated as laundry detergent compositions, excellent whiteness maintenance and cleaning of soiled soil. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The essential component of the detergent compositions of the present invention is an enzyme that degrades raw starch which is characterized by an activity ratio to degrade raw corn starch (Ra) to activity to degrade geiatinized starch (Ga) : [Ra / Ga] greater than 0.2, preferably greater than 0.35. The enzymes of the present invention are selected from enzymes having an activity on α-branched polysaccharides, more specifically starch substrates, on gelatinized starch. The ratio of activity to degrade raw corn starch [Ra] to the activity to degrade gelatinized corn starch [Ga] is defined as follows: The activity of the enzyme, which degrades α-branched polysaccharides, more specifically substrates of starch, on gelatinized or raw starch, is measured using normal tests to measure enzymatic activities. The degradation rate of crude starch is the ratio of the activities of the enzyme tested on raw starch and on gelatinized starch. The same test conditions for temperature, pH, ionic strength, buffer, and enzyme concentration are used in both tests on gelatinized and crude starches. The protocol of the test to obtain the Ra / Ga value of the enzymes is as follows:) The tests are carried out at a temperature of 40aC. 2) First, the pH profile of the enzyme is obtained over raw starch. The aforementioned profile is conventionally obtained from! plot of activity percentage versus pH. This optimum pH value will be used for the following enzyme tests. 3) The activity of the enzyme tested on gelatinized starch is then determined at the optimum pH mentioned above. 4) The type of starch that is used is Amylum corn starch, as it is representative of the starch commonly found in laundry. A 2% solution of crude starch is used. To obtain the gelatinized starch solution a crude starch solution is heated at 70 ° C for at least 60 minutes. 5) The composition of the buffer used in the test depends on the pH optimum of the enzyme. The composition and concentration of the buffer should be identical for further measurements of both the activity of the crude starch and the gelatinized starch. For example: for Rhizopus amyloglucosidase, a 0.1 M acetate buffer at pH 5.0 is used; for the alkaline amylase that degrades the crude starch of Bacillus sp. ÍMD 370, 0.1 M Tris of maleate buffer (Ver 2) is used). 6) The enzyme concentration used in the test should be identical for the measurements of both the activity of the crude starch and the gelatinized starch. 7) The enzymatic activity is measured by the determination of the reduction sugars in solution. Suitable methods are the following: The Bemfield method for determining reduction sugars using dinitrosalicylic acid is described in Bemfieid P., Amviase a. Methods Enzvmoloav 1, 149-158 (1955) and the method for determining reduction sugars with copper bicinconitate as described in Fox JD et al., Analvtical Biochemistry 195, 93-96 (1991) or in Waffenschmidt S. et al. , Anal. Biochem. 165 337-340 (1987). Prior to the determination of reducing sugars, the solution is boiled for 3 minutes and centrifuged to inactivate the enzyme. 8) The incubation time to measure the enzymatic activities is 6 hours. 9) Enzymatic activity is expressed as the number of reducing sugars produced per hour and per mg of pure active enzyme. 10) The rate of degradation of crude starch is defined as the ratio of the enzymatic activity as obtained in 9), in crude starch and gelatinized starch. For example, the glucoamylase activity in gelatinized starch is measured by measuring the release of glucose produced by the enzyme in a reaction mixture of 2% gelatinized corn starch. The activity is measured by the release of reducing sugars produced in μmol per hour per mg of pure active enzyme. The same test can then be used to measure the activity of the enzyme in crude starch, but replacing the 2% gelatinized corn starch. By "% of raw corn starch." In both tests, the temperature is 40SC, the same pH and buffer solution is used and the incubation time is 6 hours.An enzyme that degrades crude starch is generally comprised in the compositions detergents of the present invention at a level of from 0.0002% to 10%, preferably 0.001% to 2%, more preferably 0.001% to 1% pure enzyme by weight of the total detergent composition Enzymes that degrade the crude starch suitable have a [Ra / Ga] greater than 0.2 for the purpose of the present invention can be selected from the following classes of enzymes (IUPAC Classification): amyloglucosidase EC 3.2.1.3, a-amylase EC 3.2.1.1, beta-amylases EC 3.2.1.2, isoamiase EC 3.2.1.68, pullulanase type I EC 3.2.1.41, isopululanase EC 3.2.1.57, neopuiulanase EC 3.2.1.135, pullulanase type II, dextranase dextrin EC 2.4.1.24, glycosyltransferase cyclodextrin EC 2.4.1.19 and maltogenic alpha-amylase EC 3.2.1.133. Accordingly, the detergent compositions will comprise a combination of several enzymes that degrade the starch. Suitable for the purpose of the present invention is an amylogogyucosidase of the IUCAP Classification EC 3.2.1.3. Such amylogogyucosidase is a glucan 1,4-a-glucosidase; it is also referred to as "glucoamylase, α-amylase, lisomal α-glucosidase, acid maltase or exo-1,4-α-glucosidase" and its systematic name is 1,4-a-D-glucan glucohydrolase. The amyloglucosidases hydrolyze both a-1, 4 and a-1, 6 bonds in polysaccharides such as starch, releasing glucose units from non-reducing ends of polysaccharides. These two activities are different. By hydrolyzing the glycosidic linkages a-1, 4 as a-1, 6, the amyloglucosidases release β-D-glucose units from the terminal non-reducing ends of a glucose polymer such as starch. Amiioglucosidases suitable for the purpose of the present invention are Glucoamylase I (GAl) from Aspergillus awamori var. Kawachi expressed in Saccharomuces cerevisiae) Glucoamylase from Aspergillus awamori and ar. X100; Glucoamylase from Corticium rolfsii; Glucoamylase GA1 and GA2 with molecular weight of 74 and 96 kDa of Aspergillus niger, Glucoamylase of Rhizoctania solani; Glucoamylase from Chalare paradoxa; Glucoamylase from Aspergillus shirousami (Gaase) 68 kPa; Aspergillus sp. 10 K-27 glucoamylase with a molecular weight of 76 kDa kDa and 48 kDa kDa proteolysis product; Glycoamylase from Rhizopus sp. Glud 74 kDa; Glucoamylase from Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum and Glucoamylase from Rhizopus niveus. The most preferred glucoamylases are Aspergillus sp. K-27 glucoamylase with molecular weight of 76 kDa kDa; Glucoamylase from ^ 15 Rhizopus niveus. . Alpha-amylases, EC 3.2.1.1, is a 1,4-a-D-glucan glucanohydrolase that provides endohydrolysis of 1,4-a-D-glycosidic linkages in polysaccharides containing three or more linked D-glucose 1,45 units. Alpha-amylases suitable for the purpose of the present invention 20 are α-amylase from Cryptococcus sp. S-2 molecular weight 66 kDa; α-amylase from Lipomyces konoenkoae expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae 76 kDa; Bacillus circulans F-2 α-amylase expressed in E. coli (RSDA); amylase from Aspergillus sp. K-27; a-amylase from Bacillus sp. IMD 434,! MD 370; a-amylase from Cytophaga sp. Beta-amylases, EC 3.2.1.2, is a 1,4-a-D-glucan maltohydrolase that provides endohydrrhysis of 1,4-a-D-glycosidic linkages in polysaccharides to eliminate successive maltose units of nonreducing ends of the chain. β-amyiases suitable for the purpose of the present invention are β-amylase from Emericella nidulans (Aspergillus); β-amylase from B. substituted R2 and expressed in E. coli and β-amylase from Clostridium thermosulfurogenes produced in Bacillus brevis. The isopululanase enzymes are classified under the IUPAC classification EC 3.2.1.57 and the systematic name Pullulan '4-glucanohydrolase. The enzymes of isopululanase hydrolyze puiulan to isopanosa (6-a-maltosilglucose). Isoamylase enzymes have the ability to debranch glycogen. These are classified under the IUPAC classification EC 3.2.1.68 and the systematic name glycogen 6-glucanohydrolase. Isoamyase enzymes hydrolyse the branched 1,6-a-D-glucosidic bonds in glycogen, amylopectin and their dextrin β-limit. Isoamylases are distinguished from the pullulanase enzyme by their inability to attack pullulan, by limited action on dextrins to-limit and by their total action on glycogen. Neopululanase enzymes are defined as enzymes that degrade pullulan to form panosa and these are classified under the IUPAC EC 3.2.1.135 classification. Neopululanase enzyme, which is puliulan 4-D-glucan hydrolase, has a capacity to divide both the 1,4- and 1, 6-glucosidic junctions found in common stained or dirty starch and carbohydrate types. For example, this enzyme hydrolyses pullulan to panosa (6-alpha-D-glucosylmaltose). Specifically, the neopululanase enzyme can catalyze can catalyze four types of reactions including hydrolysis of alpha- (1-> 4) -glucosidic linkage, hydrolysis of aI- (1-6) -glucosidic bond, transglycosylation to form the alpha- (1? 4) -glucosidic bond hydrolysis, and transglycosylation to form the hydrolysis of aifa- (1? 6) -glucosidic bond. In contrast, other known enzymes only catalyze one of these reactions or in case two reactions are catalyzed, the second is weak. In addition, the four types of reactions are catalyzed by the same mechanism. Type II pullulanase enzymes are defined as amilopuiulanases and randomly hydrolyze the a, 1-4 bonds in addition to the branch points (a-1 -6 bonds) in polysaccharides and dextrins, unlike pullulanase type I enzymes that only hydrolyze bonds a, 1-6 in branched polysaccharides. An additional suitable enzyme of the amylase class is dextrinase dextrinase. Dextrin dextranase (EC 2.4.1.2) is an enzyme that produces Dextran and low molecular weight oligosaccharides of starch. The cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase, EC 2.4.1.19, is an enzyme that cyclizes part of a 1,4-aD-glucan chain through the formation of a 1,4-aD-glucosidic bond and has the systematic name of 1, 4- aD-giucan 4-aD- (1, 4-aD-gIucan) -transferase (of cyclisation). Enzymes suitable for the purpose of the present invention are CGT-ase from Bacilius circulans 251; CGT-handle of Bacillus circulans E192; CGT-asa from Bacillus sp. B1018 and CGT-asa of Bacillus fírmus. Maltogenic alpha-amylase A maltogenic alpha amylase of the IUPAC Classification EC 3.2.1.133 that hydrolyzes 1,4-a-D-glucosidic bonds in polysaccharides to remove successive alpha-maltose units from the non-reducing ends of the chains is also suitable. Suitable maltogenic alpha-amylases are the cloned amylase from Bacillus as described in EP 120 693 commercially available under the trademark Novamyl from Novo Nordisk A / S; maltogenic alpha-amylase variants having CGT-asa activity and CGT-asa variants having maltogenic alpha-amylase activity, as well as manufactured hybrid enzymes described in W099 / 43793 and maltogenic alpha-amylase variants with improved properties (altered physical-chemical properties, eg, an altered optimal pH, improved thermostability, increased specific activity, an altered division configuration or an increased capacity to reduce retrogradation of starch or bread rancidity), based on the three-dimensional structure of the maltogenic alpha-amylase Novamyl described in W099 / 47394. A specific enzyme satisfying the criteria [Ra / Ga] of the present invention is for example the amyloglucosidase of Rhizopus niveaus marketed by Amano under the trademark Gluczyme and the alpha-amylase of Lipomyces konomenboae of the gel LKA1. In another embodiment of the present invention, the detergent compositions of the present invention may additionally comprise one or more domains that bind starch. Such a domain that binds starch may be added in the detergent compositions of the present invention, as is, or may be part of a chimeric amyloglucosidase hybrid. Indeed, the amiioglucosidases of the present inventions will preferably have or will be added a Starch Binding Domain (SBD). In general enzymes such as amylases, cellulases, and xylanases have a modular structure consisting of a catalytic domain and at least one non-catalytic domain whose function is generally described as that of a polysaccharide-binding domain (PBD), a domain that binds starch (SBD), cellulose binding domain (CBD) and xylan fixing domain. The function of these fixing domains is to selectively bind to the substrate of the enzyme, and in particular, the main function of the SBD is to bind to starch. It has surprisingly been found that the detergent compositions of the present invention comprising one or more SBDs and / or wherein the amyloglucosidases comprise such a SBD will provide a more efficient starch / stain removal. It has been additionally discovered that. such enzymes can be formulated in a cost-effective manner. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that such amyloglucosidases will be specifically targeted more effectively to their substrate from the washing solutions and thus have better deposition on stained / dirty spots containing starch for improved performance and / or new On the other hand, it is believed that the fixation of the SBD will break the surface of the starch resulting in a higher hydrolytic velocity. SBDs suitable for use in the present invention are the SBDs comprised in the glucoamyiase of Aspergillus niger (Sigma) and in the β-galactosidase of A. Awamori. The recovery and fusion of the SBDs can be achieved as described in Ford, C. et al., J. Cell. Biochem. (Suppl 14D: 30 (1990) and Chen, L. et al., Abst. Annu.Met.Am. Soc.Microbiol.90: 269 (1990) .The aforementioned enzymes may be of any suitable origin, such as plant, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast origin, the origin can additionally be mesophilic or extromophilic (psychrophilic, psychrotropic, thermophilic, barophilic, alkalophilic, acidophilic, halophilic, etc.). Purified or unpurified forms of these enzymes can be used. in dayIt is a common practice to modify wild-type enzymes by protein / genetics engineering techniques in order to maximize their operating efficiency in the detergent compositions of the invention. For example, the variants can be designed so that the compatibility of the enzyme is increased to the commonly found ingredients of such compositions. Alternatively, the variant can be designed so that the optimum pH, bleach or chelating agent stability, catalytic activity and the like are adjusted to adjust the particular cleaning application. In particular, attention should be paid to oxidation-sensitive amino acids in the case of bleach stability and surface charges for surfactant compatibility. The isoelectric point of such enzymes can be modified by the replacement of some charged amino acids, e.g., an increase in the isoelectric point can help improve compatibility with anionic surfactants. The stability of the enzymes can be further improved by creating, for example, additional salt bridges and reinforcing the metal binding sites to increase the chelating stability. Detergent components The detergent compositions of the present invention should contain at least one additional detergent component. The precise nature of these additional components, and levels of incorporation of these will depend on the physical form of the composition, and the nature of the cleaning operation for which it is to be used. The detergent compositions of the present invention will preferably comprise an additional enzyme which is selected from a protease, a iipase, a conventional α-amylase, a conventional neopululase, a pullulanase type I or II conventional a flocculating agent and / or a non-ionic surfactant. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a laundry and / or fabric care washing composition comprising an amyloglucosidase (Examples 1-16). In a second embodiment, the present invention relates to dishwashing compositions or compositions for cleaning the home (Examples 17-23). The compositions of the invention can be formulated, for example, as hand washing and automatic dishwashing compositions, laundry detergent compositions by hand and in the washing machine including laundry additive compositions and compositions suitable for use in soaking and / or pretreatment of soiled fabrics, fabric softening compositions that are added in the rinse, and compositions for use in hard surface cleaning operations of the home. When formulated as compositions for use in hand dishwashing methods the compositions of the invention preferably contain a surfactant and preferably other detergent compounds which are selected from organic polymeric compounds, foam improvers, group II metal ions, solvents, hydrotropes and additional enzymes. When formulated as suitable compositions for use in a washing machine washing method, the compositions of the invention preferably contain both a surfactant and an improving compound and additionally one or more detergent components that are preferably selected from organic poiimeric compounds, bleaching agents, additional enzymes, suds suppressors, dispersants, lime-soap dispersants, suspending and antiredeposition agents and corrosion inhibitors. The laundry detergent compositions may also contain softening agents, as additional detergent components. Such compositions containing an amyloglucosidase provide for the removal of stains containing ahymidon, maintenance of whiteness and cleaning of the soiled soil when formulated as laundry detergent compositions. The compositions of the invention can also be used as detergent additive products. Such additive products are intended to complement or improve the operation of conventional detergent compositions. The detergent compositions according to the present invention can be liquid, in paste, gels, bars, tablets, sprays, foams, powders or granules. The granulated compositions may also be in "compact" form and the liquid compositions may also be in "concentrated" form. If necessary, the density of laundry detergent compositions in the present invention ranges from 400 to 1200 g / liter, preferably 600 to 950 g / liter of the composition measured at 20 aC. The "compact" form of the compositions in the present invention is best reflected by density and, in terms of the composition, by the amount of inorganic filler salt; Inorganic filler salts are conventional ingredients of the detergent compositions in powder form; In conventional detergent compositions, the filler salts are present in substantial amounts, typically 17-35% by weight of the total composition. In compact compositions, the filler salt is present in amounts not exceeding 15% of the total composition, preferably not exceeding 10%, more preferably not exceeding 5% by weight of the composition. The inorganic filler salts, as it is desired to mean in the present compositions, are selected from alkali metal salts and alkaline earth metal sulfates or chlorides. A preferred filler salt is sodium sulfate. The liquid detergent compositions according to the present invention can also be in a "concentrated form", in which case, the liquid detergent compositions according to the present invention will contain a lower amount of water, as compared to conventional liquid detergents. Typically the water content of the concentrated liquid detergent is preferably less than 40%, more preferably less than 30%, more preferably even less than 20% by weight of the detergent composition. Detergent compositions suitable for use in the present invention are selected from the group consisting of the compounds described below. SURFACTANT SYSTEM The detergent compositions according to the present invention generally comprise a surfactant system wherein the surfactant may be selected from nonionic and / or anionic and / or cationic and / or ampholytic and / or zwitterionic and / or semi-polar surfactants. Preferably, the detergent compositions of the present invention will comprise a nonionic surfactant, preferably a nonionic surfactant based on polyoxyethylene condensates with alcohol. Indeed, it has surprisingly been found that the detergent compositions of the present invention additionally comprising a nonionic surfactant provide for the improved removal of starch from fabrics, tableware and other hard surfaces. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the nonionic surfactant is absorbed onto the granulated surface of the starch thereby breaking the starch structure and influencing and preventing the retrogradation process of the starch. Such breaking of the structure increases the accessibility of the enzyme to its substrate. On the other hand, nonionic surfactants can also be used in a pretreatment process and therefore can reduce the starch retrogradation process. Accordingly, stained / soiled spots containing starch are more easily hydrolyzed by the enzyme and a synergistic decomposition of the starchy soil occurs by the amyloglucosidase and the non-ionic surfactant. The surfactant is typically present at a level of 0.1% to 60% by weight.

Examples of commercial α-amylases products are Purafect Ox Am® from Genencor and Termamyl®, Ban®, Fungamyl® and Duramyl®, all available from Novo Nordisk A / S Denmark. WO 95/26397 describes other suitable amylases: α-amylases which are characterized by having a specific activity in at least 25% higher than the specific activity of Termamyl® at a temperature range of 25aC to 552C and a pH on the scale from 8 to 10, as measured by the Phadebas® α-amylase activity test, which is described in W096 / 23873 (Novo Nordisk). Preferably, the variants are those that demonstrate improved thermal stability, more preferably those in which at least one amino acid residue equivalent to F180, R181, G182, T183, G184, or K185 has been deleted from the α-amylase base. Particularly preferred are those variants which have improved thermal stability comprising amino acid deletions R181 * + G182 * or T183 * + G184 *. Other amylolytic enzymes with improved properties relative to the activity level and the combination of thermal stability and a higher activity level are described in W095 / 35382. Additional suitable amylases are the enzymes of mutant α-amylases H that exhibit improved stability as described in WO98 / 26078 by Genencor. The amylolytic enzymes are incorporated in the detergent compositions of the present invention at a level of 0, 0001% to 2%, preferably from 0.00018% to 0.06%, more preferably from 0.00024% to 0.048% pure enzyme by weight of the composition. Pullulanase type l Pullulanase type 1 is a starch debranching enzyme and can be obtained from different sources. However, it is usually derived from microorganisms. Pullulanase type I is generally included in the detergent composition of the invention in an amount of 0.0001% to 10% by weight, preferably 0.001% to 0.5% by weight. Type I pullulanase enzymes are classified under the classification IUPAC classification EC 3.2.1.41 and the systematic name of a-Dextrin 6-glucanohydrolase. The pullulanase enzymes hydrolyse the 1, 6-a-D-giucosidic bonds in pullulan, amylopectin and glycogen and in the limit dextrins of α-amylase and amylopectin β-amylase and glycogen as well as against branched oligosaccharides produced by their partial decomposition. Due to this characteristics, pullulanase is called a "debranching enzyme". Indeed, pullulanase is an enzyme that only breaks the 1-6-giicosidic linkage of the pullulan and finally produces maltotriose. Microbial sources include Aerobacter Aerogenes, Pseudomonas stutzeri, Bacillus polymyxa, B.maceranas, Klebsiella pneumonia and Streptomyces sp. The activity of this enzyme is normalized to 2O0 PUN / g (Unit of Puiulanasa Novo). 1UPN is defined as the amount of enzyme that under normal conditions hydrolyses pulalanase releasing reduced carbohydrate, with a reduction power equivalent to 1μmol of glucose per minute. It is also preferred to isolate puluyanase from a Bacillus spot No. 202-1 as described in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta. 397 (1985) 188-193. This pullulanase has an optimum pH of 8.55-9.0, and is therefore of particular interest in more alkaline detergent compositions. Puluianase was discovered for the first time from a strain that belongs to Aerobacter aerogenes by Bender and Wallensfeld in 1961 [Biochem. Z., 334, 79, (1961)]. Recently, different microorganisms capable of producing pullulanase have been reported. These microorganisms are, for example, Bacillus sp. rj. Jpn. Soc. Starch Sci .. 30, 200 (1983)]; Bacillus acidopullulyticus rAaric. Biol. Chem. 52, 2293, (1984)]; Bacillus stearqthermophilus fEur. J. Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol .. 17, 24, (1983)]; Stftococcus mitis [Biochem. J .. 108, 33, (1968)]; Lactobacillus [Denpum Kagaku, 28, 72, (1981)]; Clostridium sp. ÍJ. Jpn. Soc. Starch Sci. 34, 1, (1987)]; and Clostridium thermosulfurogenes [Eur. J. APPI. Microbiol. Biotechnol .. 33, 511, (1990)]. Additionally, two publications have reported an alkalophilic strain of the genus Bacillus. { Bacillus sp. 202-i) and alkaline pullulanase produced (Japanese Patent Publication (Kokoku) No. 277786/1978); and the alkaline pullulanase of Bacillus sp. KSM-AP 1876 which is described in W094 / 19468 (Japanese Patent Application Exposed (Kokai) No. 8716/1991). Relevant pullulanase includes, for example, puluanas that can be obtained from Bacillus species (eg, acidopullulyticus as described in EP 063 909, such as Promozyme ™ from Novo Nordisk A / S.) Another pullulanase suitable for the detergent compositions herein invention is the alkaline pullulanase described in EP 450 627 by Kao Corporation, which has an optimum pH on the alkaline scale and is stable against surfactants. Such alkaline pullulanase includes an alkaline pullulanase A and an alkaline pullulanase B, both suitable for the purpose of the present invention. Another pullulanase suitable for detergents is described in W094 / 119468 by Kao Corporation. Also suitable are the pullulanase enzymes which are described in the following Japanese patents / applications: JP0407398 which is directed to a dishwashing detergent composition in automatic washing machine comprising a non-ionic surfactant, a calcium chelating agent, an ipase and a pullulanase alkaline for high detergency, JP06264094 which describes a laundry detergent composition comprising alkaline-resistant soaps, surfactants and pullulanase having high detergency; all by Kao Corporation. Promozyme (Novo trademark), isolated from Bacillus sp., Is particularly preferred. Pullulanase Also suitable are pullulanase enzymes which are described as starch debranching enzymes in the following Japanese patents / applications: JP 07179900, JP06172796, JPO6172792, JP04065494, JP04065494, JP02132193 and JP 02132192, all by Kao Corporation. Neopululanase An additional suitable enzyme of the amylase class for the purpose of the invention are neopululanase enzymes. Neopululanase enzymes are defined as enzymes that degrade Pullulan to form panose and these are classified under the IUPAC EC 3.2.1.135 classification. The enzyme neopuiulanase, which is Pullulan 4-D-glucan hydrolase, has a capacity to divide both the 1, 4-gIucosidic and 1, 6-glucosidic junctions found in common stained and dirty starch and carbohydrate. For example, this enzyme hydrolyses Pullulan to panosa (6-alpha-D-glucosylmaltose). Specifically, the neopululanase enzyme can catalyze four types of reactions including the hydrolysis of alpha- (1? 4) -glucosidic bond, the hydrolysis of alpha- (1? 6) -glucosidic bond, the transglycosylation to form the hydrolysis of aifa- (1? 4) -glucosidic bond, and transglycosylation to form the hydrolysis of alpha- (1? 6) -glucosidic bond. In contrast, other known enzymes only catalyze one of these reactions or in case two reactions are catalyzed, the second is weak. In addition, the four types of reactions are catalyzed by the same mechanism. Neopululanase enzymes are described in the following publications: Enzvme Chemistrv and Molecular Bioloav of Amylases and Related Enzvme. pages 28-32 (1995), edited by Amylases Research Society of Japan; H. Takata, et al. J. Biol. Chem. Volume 267, number 26, pages 15447-15452 (1992). The neopululanase enzyme can be produced by the so-called wild-type organism or by any host organism in which the gene responsible for the production of neopululanase, has been cloned and expressed. For example, the enzyme can be isolated from! Supemative culture of Bacillus stearothermophilus (B. stearothermophilus) TRS40 and purified to homogeneity using sodium dodecyl sulfate / polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Another enzyme having a molecular weight of 62,000 was cloned and expressed in Bacillus subtilis. This enzyme is quite thermostable, particularly at an optimum temperature of 60OC to 65SC at pH 6, and about 90% of the enzyme activity is retained. Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron 95-1 (B. thetaiotaomicron 95-1) is another type of enzyme, which is found in the human intestine in high numbers. B. thetaiotaomicron 95-1 can ferment a wide variety of polysaccharides. A pullulanase also suitable for use in the present invention is the new neopululase Y377F, S422V or M375L which originates from Bacillus staerotermophilus as described in JP07177891; is the neopululase of B. subtilisis as described in JP0612681; is the neopululase of Bacillus estearothermophilus TRS (FERM9690), Thermoactinomyces vulgaris, Bacillus stearothermophilus KP1064, Bacteroides thetiataomicron 95-1 and others as described in - JP05316992; is the neopululase type variation described in JP04020291 and the neopululanase described in JP02276578. The neopuluyanase is generally comprised in the detergent composition of the invention in an amount of 0.0001% to 10% by weight, preferably 0.001% to 0.5% by weight. Pullulanase type ll 10 Pullulanase type II enzymes are defined as amylopulianases and randomly hydrolyse the a-, 1-4-bonds in addition to the branch points (a-1 -6 bonds) in polysaccharides and dextrins, unlike pullulanase-type enzymes. I only hydrolyses bonds to, 1-6 in branched polysaccharides. Pullulanase type II can originate from extremophiles, , Especially thermophiles and extreme hyperthermophiles such as those which are isolated from Pyrococcus woesei, P. furiosus, Thermococcus aureus, Thermococcus celer, Desulfurococcus mucosus, Bacteroides thetiaotaomicron, Staphyloterrmus marinus, Purodictium abysii, Bacillus stearothermophilus such as described in "A New Bacterial World "Extromophiles. 1997, 1: 2-13. Another pullulanase suitable for the purpose of the present invention is alkaline puiulanase which exhibits Alkaline α-amylase activity is described in W096 / 35794. Also suitable is alkaline pullulanase Y which has an α-amylase activity as described in EP 418 835, which has an optimum pH on a higher alkaline scale than conventional alkaline puiulanases and exhibits excellent pH stability on a broad scale of pH and strong resistance to almost all detergent ingredients such as surfactants, chelating agents and proteases. A combined pullulanase-amylase enzyme produced by Bacillus subtilis TUAaric is also suitable. Biol. Chem. 51, 9. (1987); Japanese Patent Publication No. 18717/1989).

Examples of such cellulases are cellulases produced by a strain of Humicola insolens (Humicola grísea var. Thermoidea), 20 particularly the Humicola strain DSM 1800. Other suitable cellulases are cellulases originating from Humicola insolens having a molecular weight of approximately 50 KDa, an isoelectric point of 5.5 and containing 415 amino acids; and an ~ 43kD endoglucanase derived from Humlcola insolens DSM 1800, which exhibits cellulase activity; a preferred component of endoglucanase has the amino acid sequence that is disclosed in PCT Patent Application No. WO 91/17243. Also suitable are cellulases EGIli from Trochoderma longibrachatum which is described in WO 94/21801, Genencor, published September 29, 1994. Cellulases especially suitable are cellulases which have color care benefits. Examples of such cellulases are the cellulases which are described in European Patent Application No. 91292879.2, registered on November 6, 1991 (Novo). Carezyme and Celluzyme (Novo Nordisk A / S) are especially useful. See also .WO 91/17244 and WO91 / 21801. Other cellulases suitable for their fabric care and / or cleaning properties are described in WO96 / 34092, W096 / 17994 and W095 / 24471. The aforementioned cellulases are usually incorporated into the detergent composition at levels of 0.0001% to 2% active enzyme by weight of the detergent composition. Peroxidase enzymes are used in combination with oxygen sources, e.g., percarbonate, perborate, persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, etc. and with a phenolic substrate as a molecule that improves the bleaching action. They are used to "bleach in solution", i.e., to avoid the transfer of dyes or pigments removed from substrates during the washing operations to other substrates in the washing solution. Peroxidase enzymes are known in the art, and include, for example, horseradish peroxidase, ligninase, and haloperoxidase such as chloro- and bromoperoxidase. Peroxidase-containing detergent compositions are disclosed, for example, in PCT International Application WO 89/099813, WO 89/09813 and European Patent Application EP No. 91292882.6, filed on November 6, 1991, and in EP No. 96870013-8, filed February 20, 1996. Iaccase enzyme is also suitable. The improvers are generally included at a level of 0.1% to 5% by weight of the total composition. Preferred builders are substituted phenothiazine and phenoxazine 10-phenothiazinepropionic acid (PPT), 10-eti [phenothiazine-4-carboxylic acid (EPC), 10-phenoxazine-propionic acid (POP) and 10-methylphenoxazine (which is described in WO 94/12621) and substituted 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzoate (substituted C3-C5 alkyl-3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzoate) and phenols. Percarbonate or sodium perborate are preferred sources of hydrogen peroxide. The aforementioned peroxidases are normally incorporated into the detergent composition at levels of 0, 0001% to 2% pure enzyme by weight of the detergent composition. The enzymes mentioned above may be of any origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast origin. The origin can additionally be mesophilic or extremophile (syphilitic, psychrotrophic, thermophilic, barophilic, alkalophilic, acidophilic, halophilic, etc.). Purified or unpurified forms of these enzymes can be used. Nays, it is common practice to modify wild-type enzymes via protein / genetics engineering techniques in order to maximize their operating efficiency in the detergent compositions of the invention. For example, the variants can be designed so that the compatibility of the enzyme is increased to the commonly found ingredients of such compositions. Alternatively, the variant can be designed so that the optimal pH, bleach or chelating stability, catalytic activity and the like, of the enzyme variant is adjusted to suit 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 changes for surfactant compatibility. The isoelectric point of such enzymes can be modified by replacing some charged amino acids, e.g., an increase in the isoelectric point can help improve compatibility with anionic surfactants. The stability of the enzymes can be further increased by the creation of, for example, salt bridges and reinforcing the metal binding sites to increase the chelating stability. Special attention should be given to cellulases since most cellulases have different binding domains (CBD). Properties of such enzymes can be altered by modifying these domains.
The enzymes can be added as separate individual ingredients (agglomerates, granules, stabilized liquids, etc., containing an enzyme) or as a mixture of two or more enzymes (e.g., cogranulates). Other suitable detergent ingredients that may be added are the enzyme oxidation scavengers described in the co-pending European Patent Application 92870018.6 filed on January 31, 1992. Examples of such enzyme oxidation scavengers are the ethoxylated tetraethylene polyamines.

Enzyme stabilization systems are also described, for example, in U.S. Patent 3,519,570. A Bacillus, the sp. AC13 which provides proteases, xylanases and cellulases is described in WO 9401532 A to Novo. Bleaching agent A further preferred ingredient of the detergent compositions of the present invention include bleaching agents.

During this mixing action, spraying additions were made. ii) Tablets were elaborated in the following way: 50g of the matrix was introduced inside a mold of circular shape with a diameter of 5.5 cm, and compressed to produce a tensile strength in the tablet (or diametral fracture effort) of 10kPa. iii) The tablets were then immersed in a solution comprising 90 parts of sebacic acid and 10 parts by weight of Nymcel-ZSB16 ™ by Metsa Serla at. 140 aC. The duration of the tablet in immersion in the heated solution was adjusted to allow the application of 4g of the solution mixture. The tablet was then allowed to cool to room temperature of 25OC for 24 hours.
