Description

DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING OLEOILSARCOSINATE AND ENZYMES FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the use of oleol sarcocinate in combination with enzymes to provide improved cleaning benefits in rop wash detergents.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The formulation of laundry detergent compositions, which are sufficiently robust to eliminate a wide variety of fabrics and stains, under a variety of conditions of use, remains a considerable challenge for the industry. This is especially true since the advent of legislation limiting the use of the best effective phosphate detergent in many regions of the world. Various laundry detergent compositions, which are designed not only to clean fabrics, but to provide additional fabric care benefits, have been described in the literature and have entered the market with very substantial commercial success. It is increasingly common to include enzymes within compositions that provide specific cleansing benefits. However, the compatibility and stability of Las eivunas with other detergent ingredients are of great concern for such formulations. There is also the desire to combine correctly the ingredients tara bring to the optimum point or even strengthen the cleaning benefits obtained by the inclusion of enzymes in formulations for washing * clothing. i b in a review of the literature might suggest that X * '~ a large selection of surfactants is available to the detergent manufacturer, the reality is that many of those materials are specialty chemicals that are not suitable for routine use in low unit cost items, such as compositions to wash clothes at home. There remains the fact that most household detergents still comprise one or more of the conventional ethoxylated nonionic surfactants -''- and of the ammonium sulphonic agents of alkyl sulfate or alkylbenzenesulfonate, prsurply due to economic and functional considerations. By means of the present invention, oleic sarcocinate is used as the anionic detergent surfactant in laundry detergent compositions. The resulting formulations exhibit excellent solubility even at cold water temperatures, excellent cleanliness of both particulate grime and greasy and oily dirt, and provide excellent compatibility and cleaning benefits when combined with enzymes. The compositions also provide excellent color care for dyed fabrics and excellent skin softness in hand washing operations. These and other advantages of the present invention will be seen from the description that follows.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION OLEILLO SARCOCINATE The compositions of the present invention comprise oleyl sarcocumates, in their acid and / or salt form, selected, as desired, for the compositions and uses herein, having the following formula: in < Ion e M is hydrogen or a cationic ion moiety. N preferably hydrogen and salts of alkaline metal, especially sodium and potassium. Oleum sarcocinate can be obtained commercially, for example, as Hamposyl 0, supplied by U.R. Grace & Co. Compositions according to the present invention comprise from 0.1% to 55%, approximately, preferably from 1% to 20%, approximately, and most preferably from approximately 3% to 15%, of oleic sarcocinate. , with respect to the weight of the composition. In addition to the commercially available oleyl sarcocinate, it is also possible to prepare a useful oleyl earcocmate here, preferably from the ester (preferably the methyl ester) of oleic acid and a salt of sarcocin (preferably the sodium salt) under of anhydrous reaction in the presence of a base catalyst, having a basicity equal to or greater than that of the alkoxide catalyst (preferably sodium rnethoxide). For example, the reaction can be * illustrated by the scheme: CH3 O H 'ONa NaOCH3 (cat) This salt can be optionally neutralized to form the oleyl sarcocine in its acid form. The preferred method for preparing the oleic sarcocmaton is carried out at a temperature of about 80 to 200 ° C, especially 120 ° C to 200 ° C. The reaction without solvent is preferred. although alcohol solvents having a boiling point of at least 100 ° O may be used and are stable under the leavening conditions • (for example, the glycerol is not acceptable). an approximate yield of 85% with a molar ratio of ethyl ester reagent to sarcocin salt reagent to basic catalyst of approximately 1: 1: 0.05-0.2 Methyl ester mixtures derived from natural oils of high oleic content (from preferably having about 60%, better still, at least about 75% and, preferably, at least 90% of ^ oleic content, approximately) are especially preferred as starting materials. Examples include sunflower oil and rapeseed / canola oil of high oleic content. In addition, the methyl ester fraction of high oleic content, derived from palm kernel oil or tallow, is also acceptable. It should be understood that said oils will typically contain certain levels of impurities, including some fatty acid impurities which can be converted to sarcoemate by this method of synthesis. For example, the commercial product canola oil / rape may comprise a majority of acidic acid and a mixture of fatty acids nnpures, such as palitritic, stearic, linoleic, linolenic, and / or -? Cosine acids? Some of which are converted to the sarcocmate by this reaction method. If desired, for formulation purposes, some or all of these impurity materials may be excluded from the starting oil, before preparing the oleyl sarcocinate which is is going to prepare in the compositions of the present. Finally, the remaining sarcocma in the reaction mixture can be converted to an amide by adding anhydride or acetic anhydride to the mixture, thereby reducing to a minimum the content of sarcocma and any potential to form undesirable impurities that contain nitrogen. The synthesis of the oleyl sarcocinate can be carried out in the following manner, to prepare the sodium "oleoylsarcoate".

The reaction container is charged with 43. 3 g, 0. 476 moles, d sarcocin, 97. 7 g, 0.452 rnoles, of sodium methoxy 25% in inefanol and 400 ml of ethanol. The reaction is refluxed for 15 minutes to leave the sarcocma, and then 148.25 g, 0.5 mol of the methyl oleate derived from sunflower oil with high regular oleyl content obtained from Cargill is added. After the methanol is removed with the Dean-Starl trap, the reaction mixture is heated at 170 ° C for one hour to expel any water. The reaction is initiated by the addition of 25% '- *' sodium methoxide in ine-tanol (15.4 g, 0.0714 mol). The reaction is maintained at 170 ° C for 2.5 hours, during which time the methanol is collected in the Dean-Stark trap. The reaction is allowed to cool slightly and then 200 g of rnetanol are added. 9.43 g, 0.095 mol, of rnaleic anhydride are added to the methanolic solution and the reaction is stirred at 60 ° C for 0.5 hours. Then, most of the methanol is removed by rotary evaporation and 2 liters of acetone are added to - "" precipitate the product. The product is collected by suction filtration and dried in the air to give a matt white solid. Analysis of the reaction mixture by gas chromatography indicates that most of the product is oleyl sarcocinate, with minor amounts of the following impurities: sarcocma, oleic acid and sarcocinates derived from palmitic acid, stearic acid and linoleic acid.

The enzymes that are to be incorporated include proteases, arnilases, lipases, cellulases and peroxidases, as well as mixtures of them. Other types of enzymes can also be included. They can be of any suitable origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast origin. Nevertheless, its selection is governed by several factors, such as the pH activity and / or the optimum point of stability, the thermostability, the stability against active detergents, detergency enhancers, etc. In this sense, bacterial or fungal enzymes, such as bacterial proteases and proteases and fungal cellulases, are preferred.

THE ENZYME STABILIZERS f A preferred optional ingredient to be used in the compositions herein is the enzyme stabilizers. The enzymes to be used in detergents can be stabilized by means of different techniques. Enzyme stabilization techniques are described and exemplified in U.S. Patent No. 3,600,319, issued August 17, 1971 to Gedge and co-inventors, and in European Patent Application Publication No. 0 199 405; Application number 86200586.5, published on October 29, 1986, by Venegas. Enzyme stabilization systems are also described, for example, in U.S. Patent Application No. 519,570. The enzymes employed herein may be enhanced by the presence of water-soluble sources of calcium and / or magnesium ions in the final compositions, which provide dLchos ions to the enzymes. (Calcium ions are generally a little more effective than magnesium ions and are preferred in the present, if only one cation ion is being used). Additional stability can be provided by the presence of various other stabilizers described in the art, especially borate species: see Severson, U.S. Patent No. 4,537,706. Typical detergents, especially liquids, will comprise approximately from 1 to 30, preferably from 2 to 20, better still from 5 to 15 and still better from 8 to 12, calcium ion mounts per liter of the final composition. This may vary a bit depending on the amount of / "" "the current enzyme and its response to calcium or magnesium ions.The level of calcium or magnesium ions should be selected in such a way that there is some minimum level available for the enzyme, after allowing the formation of the Complexes with builders, fatty acids, etc., present in the composition Any calcium or magnesium salt soluble in water, as the source of calcium or magnesium ions may be used, including but not limited to calcium chloride , calcium sulfate, calcium malate, calcium maleate, calcium hydroxide, calcium forrnate and calcium acetate, as well as the corresponding magnesium salts, and a small amount of calcium ion is also present in the composition. Lime of 0.05 to 0.4 immoles, approximately by Liter, due to the calcium present in the enzyme suspension and in the water of the formulation In the solid detergent compositions the Lation forrnu can include a Sufficient amount of soluble calcium ion source in ag? a to provide said quantities in the wash liquor. Alternatively, the natural hardness of the water may suffice. It should be understood that the above levels of calcium and / or magnesium ions are sufficient to provide stability of the enzyme. Other calcium and / or magnesium ions can be added to the compositions to give an additional measure of fat eliminating performance. Accordingly, as a general proposition, the compositions herein will comprise / "~~ typically from 0.05% to 2% by weight, approximately, of a water soluble source of calcium and / or magnesium ions, or both.

Of course, the amount may vary with the amount and type of enzyme used in the composition. The compositions herein may also optionally but preferably contain various additional stabilizers, specifically borate type stabilizers. Typically said stabilizers will be used at levels in the compositions from 0.25% to 10%, preferably from 0.5% to 5%, better still, from 0.75% to 3%, by weight of the rich acid or other borate compound capable of forming acid boric in Composition (for example, calculated on the basis of boric acid) Boric acid is preferred, although other compounds, such as boric oxide, borax and other alkali metal borates (for example, ortho- -, sodium and sodium pentaborate). Substituted boric acids (for example, phenylboronic acid, butanboronic acid, and acid-bromine in Ll bororuco) can also be used instead of boric acid. It should be recognized that such materials can also be used in formulations as the sole stabilizer as well as in combination with additional calcium and / or magnesium ions. Finally, it may be convenient to add chlorine scavengers, especially to compositions containing protease, to protect enzymes from the chlorine typically present in municipal water supplies. Such materials are described, for example, in US Pat. No. 4,810,413, by Panchep and co-inventors, and various optional auxiliary ingredients may also be used in combination with the 0-oleyl sarcocinate and the enzymes herein, to provide fully formulated detergent compositions The following ingredients are described for the convenience of the formulator, but are not intended to be limitations for the invention.

THE CLOTH SOFTENER CLOTH Various clay fabric softeners "During washing, especially the impalpable smectite clays of US Pat. No. 4,062,647 to Storrn and Nirschl, issued December 13, 1977, as well as other softening clays known in the art, can be used optionally, typically at approximate levels of 0.5% to 10% by weight (These compositions are present to provide softening benefits, concurrently with cleanliness (Je? fabrics.; - Clay vapors can be used in combination with anti-amine and cationic agents, such as those described, for example, in US Pat. No. 4,375,416 to Crisp and co-inventors, to the of 1983 and US Patent No. 4,291,071 to Harps and co-inventors, issued September 22, 1981. The clay softener system of the present invention comprises a fabric softening clay, which is present in an amount of at least 0.5%, preferably from 4% to 30% by weight of the detergent composition. The preferred clays are of the smectite type, if other forms of softening clays are known and can be used in the present invention. The following are described as non-limiting examples of softening clays. Clays of the type smectifa are widely used as fabric softening ingredients in the detergent compositions. Most of these clays have a cation exchange capacity of at least 50 milliliters / 100 g. Esnectite clays can be described as three-layer expandable materials, consisting of silicate alumino or magnesium silicates. There are two different classes of clays of the srnectite type; aluminum oxide is present in the first, in the silicate crystal ion; in the second class? of esrnectit.as is this oxide present? magnesium in the erist network to K- < ** of i 1 i «. to The general formulas of these are ectites are: AÍ2 (L2? S) 2 (0H) 2 and M3 (S 1 O5) (OH) 2, for the oxide type clay (aluminum and magnesium, respectively). The water in the pit can vary with the processing to which the clay has been subjected, Traditionally, atomic substitution can occur by means of ice and magnesium, within the crystalline network of the sinectites, while they can be copresent. Metallic layers such as Na +, Ca2 +, as well as H + in the water of hydration to provide elective neu- rity, It is customary to distinguish between clays on the basis of a cation predominated or exclusively adsorbed. One in which the adsorbed cation is predominantly sodium.The adsorbed cations may be involved in equilibrium exchange reactions with the cations present in the aqueous solutions.In such equilibrium reactions an equivalent weight of cation of solute This replaces a sodium equivalent, for example, and it is customary to measure the cation exchange capacity of clay in terms of miliequavalent.es per 100 g of clay (rneq / 100 g). The cation exchange capacity of the clays can be measured in various ways, including the organic oil, by * mferchange < . < > n ammonium ion by a non-ineffective titration, a procedure with an iJone blue, such (eg, c-xposed in Grunshaw, The fiiemistry of Physics of Clays, Interseency Publisheis, TNC pages 264-265 (l ')!) . The capacity of the mineral * of cations of a mineral of iron is related to factors such as the expandable properties of the clay, the load of the clay, which, in turn, is the same. Once determined, at least in part, by the structure of the rod and the like, the ion exchange capacity of the clays varies widely on the approximate scale of 2 meq / 100 g for the kaolinites to L50 meq / 100. g and more for certain clays of the montrnoplonite variety. The lita clays have an ion exchange capacity at some point in the lower portion of the scale, approximately 26 meq / 100 g for an average illite clay. It has been determined that lime and kaolinite clays with their relatively low ion exchange capacities are not useful in the present cornposi clones, in fact, these illite and kaolinite clays are a major component of clay soils. However, the smectites, such as the nontromta, have an ion exchange capacity of approximately 50 meq / 100 g.; Saponite having an ion exchange capacity of RNs of 70 RNq / 100 g, have been found useful as fabric softeners.

Preferably? HE? mix e | Detergent ingredient? with a tensile agent before being adsorbed on the porous substrate. In use, the detergent ingredient is released from the substrate towards the aqueous washing liquor, where it performs its desired detergent function. To illustrate this technique in more detail, the silica was mixed with a porous hydrophobic silica (brand SIPERNAT DIO, DeGussa) with a proteolytic enzyme solution having from 1% to 5% nonionic surfactant of ethoxylated alcohol of 13 to 15 carbon atoms (SO 7). Typically, the enzyme / surfactant solution is 2.5 times the weight of the silica. The resulting powder is dispersed with stirring in a silicone oil (various viscosities of silicon oil can be used in the range of 500 to 12,500). The resulting dispersion of silicone oil is emulsified or otherwise added to the final detergent matrix.
