Description

DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS THAT COMPRISE SPECIFIC LIPOLITIC ENZYME AND ZEOLITE MAP FIELD TSQ? GP The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a specific lipolytic enzyme and zeolite MAP. In particular, the present invention relates to improvements in the detergent action of detergent compositions for cleaning clothes, dishes and hard surfaces comprising a specific lipolytic enzyme and zeolites as a sequestering agent for the hardness of water.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The inclusion of lipolytic enzyme (for example lipase > in detergent compositions for improved cleaning action, eg, improvement in the removal of dirt and stains containing triglycerides from fabrics is known) The examples are U.S. Patent No. 4,769,173, Cornelissen et al., Filed on August 29, 19B9, U.S. Patent No. 5,069.B09, Lagerwaard et al., Issued December 3, 1991, and application PCT W094 / 0357B and HAPPI. (Household S Personal Products Indutry) No. 23/19 1. The patent of US Pat. No. 4,769,173 discloses a certain class of lipasee consisting of fungal lipases from Humicola lanuainosa, together with strong bleaching agents in detergent compositions. of a fungal lipase in this patent is the lipase from Humicola lanuginos, available from Amano under the trademark A ano-CE, and the combination of strong bleaching agents with an enzyme is described in US Patent No. 5,069,809. lipase produced by cloning the gene encoding the lipase produced by Humicola lanuginosa. and expressing the gene in Aspergillus oryzae as a host, for use in detergent compositions. WO 94/0357B discloses an enzymatic detergent composition containing 10 to 20,000 LU (lipolytic units) per gram of detergent composition of a lipase which exhibits a substantial lipolytic activity during the main cycle of a washing process. This lipase is selected in particular depending on its inactivation behavior with diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP). Despite the large number of publications on lipase enzymes. until now, only the lipase derived from Húmicole Lanuginosa, strain DSM 4106 and produced in Aspergillus oryzae as a host, has found wide application as an additive for fabric washing products. It is available from Nov Nordisk under the Lipolase CTM brand). Gormsen and Mal describe in HAPPI this enzyme with the brand "Lipolase" co or the first detergent lipase with a commercially relevant cost performance based on the use of recombinant DNA technology on an industrial scale. In HAPPI it is described that Lipolase is the most effective during the drying step, rather than in the same washing process. During the drying of the fabric, conditions such as water level are more favorable for lipolytic hydrolysis than during the actual wash cycle. To optimize the dirt replenishing action of lipolase. Novo NordisK has made several variants. As described in WO 92/05249. the D96L variant of the natural lipase of Humicola lanuginosa improves the efficiency of butter stain removal by a factor of 4.4 over wild-type lipase (enzymes compared in an amount ranging from 0.075 to 2.5 mg of protein per liter). LEn research description No. 35944 published on March 10, 1994. by Novo Nordisk it is described that the lipase variant (D96> can be added in an amount corresponding to 0.001-100 mg (5-500,000 LU / 1) of lipase variant per liter of wash liquor Detergent compositions conventionally contain builders that reduce the concentration of calcium and magnesium water hardness ionee in the wash liquor and therefore provide a good detergency effect in both soft water as in hard water Conventionally, inorganic phosphates, such as sodium tripolyphosphate, have been used as enhancers for laundry detergents More recently, ion exchangers of alkali metal aluminosilicate have been proposed, particularly zeolite A. crystalline sodium aluminosilicate »As a replacement for inorganic phosphates, for example, EP 21 491A (Procter &; Gamble) discloses detergent compositions containing an improving system that includes zeolite A. X or P (B) or a mixture thereof. EP 3B4070A (Uniliver) describes specific zeolite P materials having an especially low silicon to aluminum ratio, no greater than 1.33 (hereinafter referred to as zeolite MAP) and describes their use as a builder. However, to date zeolite A is the preferred aluminosilicate builder in commercially available products. However, it is known that there are certain problems with the use of zeolites as builders. in comparison with phosphates. For example, zeolites work relatively slowly to sequester calcium ions, which reduces the detergency effect. A proposition that has been made to solve this problem is to introduce certain associated improvers to give better and faster hardness control. For example, GB 1429143 (Procter 6 Gamble) and GB 1470250 (Procter &Gamble) disclose a builder system comprising an alkali metal aluminosilicate and citrates. Further. It has been found that high levels of soluble improvers, for example phosphates and citrates. can have a negative effect on the performance of certain lipases. The problem associated with the use of high levels of water-soluble enhancers, such as citrate or phosphates, prevents calcium from inhibiting the well-known deactivation of lipase by free fatty acids formed after triglyceride hydrolysis catalyzed by lipase . These high levels of water soluble improvers are. therefore, detrimental to the performance of the lipase. It has been found that lipase has only a limited benefit as a detergent component, incorporating a builder such as zeolite A, due to the formation of the calcium fatty acid crust that hardens the stain and prevents its removal by the others detergent ingredients. Consequently, the benefits of incorporating a lipass into a liquid detergent composition comprising an aluminosilicate builder such as zeolite A are observable primarily under multi-cycle pretreatment conditions and not in a single wash condition. The general performance of a detergent is judged not only by its ability to remove stains and dirt, for example oil and grease stains, but also by its ability to prevent the redeposition of the detergents, or the degradation products of the soils. or any unsolvable salt. About the washed item. The effects of redeposition result in the articles being covered with an improper film, appearing with stripes or being covered with visible spots that remain intact at the end of the washing process. Therefore, a substantial technical challenge persists in the formulation of detergent compositions to meet the consumer's need for superior overall detergency performance. The above objective has been achieved by means of detergent compositions that include laundry cleaner, dishwashing and hard surfaces, containing specific lipolytic enzymes and Zeolite MAP. It has been surprisingly found that the combination of a specific lipolytic enzyme with a builder system comprising Zeolite MAP, improves the overall detergency performance, for example, maintenance of whiteness on the fabrics and reduction of staining, film formation or redeposition of fat and oil substances on the tableware, hard surfaces and the like. This finding allows either improved performance or reduction of levels of surfactant / lipolytic enzyme, maintaining the same detergency action.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a specific lipolytic enzyme and Zeolite MAP. In particular, the present invention relates to improvements in the overall detergency performance of laundry detergent, dishware and hard surface cleaning compositions comprising a specific lipolytic enzyme for maintenance of whiteness. reduced redeposition and removal of oil and grease stains, and zeolites as a sequestering agent for water hardness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Specific lipolytic enzyme An essential component of the detergent composition of conformity cor. the invention e = a specific lipolytic enzyme. In the present context, the term "lipolytic enzyme" is intended to indicate an enzyme that exhibits a lipid degradation capacity. such as a capacity for degradation of a triglyceride. a phospholipid, an ester of wax or cutin. The lipolytic enzyme can be, for example - a lipase, a foefolipase, a. esterase or a cutinase. The lipolytic enzymes are suitable for the present invention with those lipolytic enzymes that provide a B significantly improved whiteness maintenance action when compared to an identical hydrolytic activity (same amount of LU per liter of wash solution) of the Lipolase ™ enzyme. The significantly improved whiteness maintenance action, as used herein, can be visually evaluated by expert callers using the Scheffék scale of panel score units (PSU) of 04 (0 represents no difference, and 4 represents one very big difference). The specific lipolytic enzyme suitable for the present invention is incorporated into the detergent composition according to the invention at a level of 50 LU to 8500 LU per liter of washing solution. Preferably, said lipolytic enzyme is present at a level of 100 LU to 7500 LU per liter of wash solution. Most preferably, at a level of 150 LU to 5000 LU per liter of wash solution. Specific lipolytic enzymes suitable for use herein include those of bacterial and fungal origin. Included herein are lipolytic enzymes of chemically or genetically modified mutants. Preferred lipolytic enzymes include lipolytic enzyme variants produced by Humicola lanuginosa and Thermomyces lanugmosus, or that are obtained by cloning and expressing the gene responsible for the production of said variants in a host organism, for example, Aspergillus oryzae- as described in European patent application 0 25B 06B. incorporated herein by reference. Highly preferred lipolytic enzymes are variants of the natural lipase derived from Humicola lanuginosa as described in US Serial No. 08 / 341,826. Preferably. the strain DSM 4106 of Humisola lanuginosa is used. An example of such variants is the lipolytic enzyme D96L. The variant of lipolytic enzyme D96L is understood as the lipase variant as described in the patent application WO 92/05249. where in the natural lipase of Humicola lanuginosa »the residue of aspartic acid < D) in position 96 is changed to leucine (L). In accordance with this nomenclature, said substitution of aspartic acid to leucine in position 96 is shown as: D96L. To determine the activity of the D96L enzyme, the standard LU test was used (analytical method, internal number AF 95-é-GB 1991.02.07 of Novo Nordiek). A coagulate for D96L was prepared by emulsifying glycerin tributyrate (Merck) using gum arabic as an emulsifier. The activity of the lipase was tested at pH 7 using a statistical pH method. One unit of lipase activity (LU / mg) is defined as the amount needed to release one micromole of fatty acid per minute.

Deterioration Improvement System According to the present invention, the builder system is based on zeolite MAP. optionally in conjunction with one or more supplementary improvers. The amount of zeolite MAP used can vary, for example, from 1 to B0% by weight. preferably from 5 to 60 >; in weight very preferably from 15 to OV. in weigh. Zeolite MAP is described in EP 3B4070a (Unilever). It is defined as an alkali metal aluminosilicate of the zeolite P type having a ratio of aluminum to aluminum not greater than 1.33, preferably in the range of 0.9 to 1.33. and very preferably in the range of 0.9 to 1.2. Of particular interest is zeolite MAP which has a silicon to aluminum ratio not greater than 1.15, and. very particularly, not greater than 1.07. Zeolite P having a Si: Al ratio of 1.33 or less can be prepared by the following steps: (I) mixing a sodium aluminate having a molar ratio Na20: A1203 in the range of 1.4 to 2.0 and a sodium silicate having a molar ratio Si02: Na20 on the scale from 0.8 to 3.4, with vigorous stirring at a temperature in the range of 25 ° C to the boiling point, usually 955C to give a gel having the following composition: A1203: ( 1.75-3.5) Si02: (2.3-7.5) Na20: P (80-450) H2 ?; < II) aging the gel composition for 0.5 to 10 hours, preferably 2 to 5 hours, at a temperature in the range of 70 ° C to the boiling point, usually at 95 ° C »with sufficient stirring to maintain any solid present in the suspension; (III) separating the crystalline sodium aluminosilicate formed in this way, washing at a pH in the range of 10 to 12.5 and drying, preferably at a temperature not higher than 150 ° C, up to a moisture content of not less than 5% in weigh. The preferred methods of drying are made by aeration and flash drying. It appears that oven drying at high temperature can adversely affect the calcium binding capacity of the product under certain circumstances. The sodium metasilicate commercial pentahydrate dissolved in water and the commercial sodium silicate solution (water glass) are both suitable silica sources for the production of zeolite P according to the invention. The reactants can be added together in any order either quickly or slowly. Rapid addition at room temperature. and the slow addition a. high temperature (90-95 ° C), both give the desired product. However, vigorous agitation of the gel during the addition of the reactants, and at least moderate agitation during the subsequent aging step, appear to be essential for the formation of pure P zeolite. In the absence of agitation, several mixtures of crystalline and amorphous materials can be obtained. Zeolite MAP generally has a calcium binding capacity of at least 150 rog of CaO per g of anhydrous aluminosilicate, measured by the standard method described in GB 1473201 < Henkel). The binding capacity of calcium is normally 160 mg CaO / g and can be as high as 170 mg CaO / g. Although zeolite MAP, like other zeolites, contains water of hydration, for the purposes of the present invention, the amounts and percentages of zeolites are expressed in terms of the anhydrous notional material. The amount of water present in MAP zeolite hydrated at room temperature and humidity is generally approximately 20% by weight. The preferred MAP zeolite for use in the present invention is finely divided and has a d50 (as defined below) in the range of 0.1 to 10.0 microns A preferred MAP zeolite to be used in accordance with the present invention has a d50 from 1.0 to 10.0 microns, for example 2.2 to 7.0 daughters, more particularly 2.5 to 5.0 microns.The amount "d5C" indicates that 50% by weight of the particles have a diameter smaller than that value. in particular, it can be determined by conventional analytical techniques such as microscopic determination using an electronic scanning microscope or by means of a laser granulometer.Other methods of establishing dso values are described in EP 384 070. According to a method of In the invention, the detergent builder of zeolite MAP is in powder form.

For handling convenience, however, the material can be granulated by conventional techniques such as spray drying or by a non-tower method to form larger particles.

Associated Deterioration M erators In addition to zeolite MAP, the builder system may contain an associated organic or inorganic detergency builder. Suitable organic associated improvers may be monomeric or polymeric carboxylates such as citrates or polymers of acrylic, methacrylic and / or maleic acids in neutralized form. Suitable inorganic associated improvers include carbonate and amorphous and lamellar crystalline sodium silicates. Preferred are eelactates eetratified crietalinoe. Suitable sheet silicates have the composition: NaMSi? 023 < ^;, and H20 wherein M ee sodium or hydrogen, preferably sodium; x is a number from 1.9 to 4; and "and" is a number from 0 to 20. Materials are described in the Patents of the U.S.A. Do not. 4664839: No. 472B443 and No. 4820439 (Hoechst AG). Especially preferred are compounds in which x = 2 and ytt = O. The synthetic material is commercially available from Hoechst AG co or S-Na2 Si205 (SKS6), and is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4664830. The associated improver may include an aluminosilicate zeolite A material, but when such a zeolite A improver is present, it is at a level not greater than 2% by weight of the detergent composition. The total amount of builder in the granular composition generally ranges from 1 to 80% by weight, preferably from 15 to 60% by weight, and preferably from 10 to 45% by weight. The purpose of the dirty fabric washing process is to clean these, that is, to remove stains and dirt from dirty garments. However, as soon as the sucitates appear in the wash solution, you may deposit them on the fabrics that are washed. Especially with white garments, the redeposition of dirt has a strong negative impact on the whiteness of the fabric. In addition, also the brilliance and freshness of the colored fabrics is reduced by this redeposition. The maintenance of whiteness is the monitoring of the whiteness of the cloth to wash and wash during varioe washing cycles. A good detergent has a good maintenance profile of whiteness, that is, it ensures that it is maintained at a high level, the whiteness of the fabrics washed during the entire life cycle of use and washing, avoiding as much as possible, the redeposition of dirt removed on white fabrics. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that zeolite MAP provides better control of the accumulation rate of calcium fatty acid complex in the water / soil interface, than zeolite A. Importantly, zeolite MAP only requires leveling Lowers of water-soluble associated enhancers that do not deactivate the specific lipolytic enzyme. In fact, it has surprisingly been found that the incorporation into detergents of the specific lipolytic enzymes according to the present invention, together with zeolite MAP, offers a significant benefit in maintaining whiteness. In addition, under the conditions of cleaning of the surface and care of the dishes, the use of lipid enzymes and lipolyticae with zeolite MAP, reduces the formation of manchae, film and / or redeposition of euboementations of fat and oil in tableware , dishes, hard surfaces and similaree.
