Definitions

  • the present invention relates to automatic dishwashing detergent compositions comprising a diacyl peroxide bleaching agent and a blooming perfume composition containing blooming perfume ingredients and delayed blooming perfume ingredients. Preferred methods for cleaning dishware are included.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Builders surfactants, alkalinity, and bleaching chemicals traditionally have been used in automatic dishwashing detergent (ADD) compositions to promote soil removal from dishes, soil antiredeposition and anti-spotting benefits.
  • ADD automatic dishwashing detergent
  • strong alkalis like sodium hydroxide and bleaches such as hypochlorite can be damaging to, or leave a film upon, glasses, dishware or silverware.
  • milder ADD compositions have been developed that make use of a source of hydrogen peroxide.
  • Diacyl peroxide bleaching agents are particularly effective at removing stains, especially carotenoid, from plastic dishware.
  • bleaching agents have strong base odors that can be difficult to mask or cover up with perfume compositions. This is especially true in liquid, gel and paste compositions where the bleaching agents can more readily degrade or react with other ingredients in the composition and introduce off odors.
  • Plastic dishware also tends to pickup residual food malodors or other malodors from the dishwashing process. It is desirable to formulate perfume compositions for ADD products that can cover up or mask such malodors and give the impression that washed items, particularly plastic dishware, are fresh and clean at the end of the washing cycle when the consumer removes them from the machine. However, the perfume smell should not linger significantly or adhere noticeably to the washed items.
  • Patent 6,143,707, Trinh et al, issued November 7, 2000 discloses automatic dishwashing detergent compositions comprising blooming perfume compositions containing blooming perfume ingredients, and optionally, delayed blooming perfume ingredients, and non-blooming perfume ingredients. The compositions can also contain bleaching agents, including diacyl peroxides.
  • U.S. Patent 5,089,162 Rapisarda et al, issued February 18, 1992, discloses cleaning compositions containing bleach-stable yellow colorant and either a chlorine bleach or an oxygen bleach.
  • the compositions may be automatic dishwashing detergents, and preferably have a lemon-like scent.
  • Various perfume ingredients and perfume compositions are disclosed.
  • automatic dishwashing detergent compositions comprising a blooming perfume composition and an effective amount of a diacyl peroxide bleaching agent can be formulated to provide cleaning and stain removal (e.g., carotenoid stain removal) benefits, while also providing a positive scent signal to consumers during use.
  • a diacyl peroxide bleaching agent e.g., carotenoid stain removal
  • the present invention encompasses automatic dishwashing detergent compositions comprising, by weight: (a) from about 0.01% to about 5% of a blooming perfume composition comprising from about 15% to about 60% of blooming perfume ingredients having a boiling point of less than about 260°C and a ClogP of at least about 3, and from about 15% to about 70% of delayed blooming perfume ingredients having a boiling point of less than about 260°C and a ClogP of less than about 3, wherein the weight ratio of blooming perfume ingredients to delayed blooming perfume ingredients is from about 0.25 to about 1.5 and said blooming perfume composition comprises at least about 40% by weight of blooming perfume ingredients and delayed blooming perfume ingredients; and
  • the above blooming perfume composition provides superior perfume effects in that it masks the base odors from the diacyl peroxide bleaching agent in the composition, while providing a pleasant fragrance in the area surrounding the automatic dishwashing machine during and after use.
  • the perfume composition covers up or masks residual food malodors and/or other malodors from the dishwashing process, including on washed items such as plastic dishware that tend to pick up such malodors.
  • the perfume composition thus gives the impression that the washed items are fresh and clean at the end of the washing cycle when the items are removed from the machine.
  • the ingredients of the perfume composition are also selected to minimize residual odor on washed items, particularly plastic items.
  • the present invention also encompasses cleaning methods; more particularly, a method of washing dishware in a domestic automatic dishwashing appliance, comprising treating soiled dishware in an automatic dishwasher with an aqueous bath comprising the composition as provided above.
  • Automatic dishwashing compositions of the present invention comprise a blooming perfume composition and an effective amount of diacyl peroxide bleaching agent, as described in more detail below.
  • Amounts of the essential ingredients can vary within wide ranges, however preferred automatic dishwashing detergent compositions herein (which have a 1% aqueous solution pH of from about 2 to about 12, more preferably from about 3 to about
  • compositions herein are in the form of liquids, gels or pastes and contain from about 40% to about 99%, preferably from about 60% to about 99%, more preferably from about 80% to about 99%, of water. Because of the reactivity of bleaching agents in such compositions, and the potential for generation of off odors, the benefits provided by the present blooming perfume composition containing base masking perfume ingredients are generally greater in such compositions.
  • effective amount herein is meant an amount, which is sufficient, under whatever comparative test conditions are employed, to enhance cleaning of a soiled surface. In automatic dishwashing, the soiled surface may be, for example, a plastic container with tomato stains or dishes soiled with simple starches or more complex food soils. The test conditions will vary, depending on the type of washing appliance used and the habits of the user. Of course, the performance of bleaches will be affected by such considerations, and the levels used in fully formulated detergent and cleaning compositions can be appropriately adjusted.
  • Blooming Perfume Compositions as disclosed herein, can be formulated into automatic dishwashing detergent compositions and provide significantly better noticeability to the consumer than non-blooming perfume compositions not containing a substantial amount of blooming perfume ingredients. Additionally, residual perfume is not desirable on many surfaces, including dishes, glasses and cutlery, especially those made of plastic, rubber and silicone.
  • a blooming perfume ingredient is characterized by its boiling point (B.P.) and its octanol/water partition coefficient (P).
  • the octanol/water partition coefficient of a perfume ingredient is the ratio between its equilibrium concentrations in octanol and in water.
  • the preferred perfume ingredients of this invention have a B.P., determined at the normal, standard pressure of about 760 mm Hg, of about 260°C or lower, preferably less than about 255 °C; and more preferably less than about 250°C, and an octanol/water partition coefficient P of about 1,000 or higher. Since the partition coefficients of the preferred perfume ingredients of this invention have high values, they are more conveniently given in the form of their logarithm to the base 10, logP. Thus the preferred perfume ingredients of this invention have logP at 25 °C of about 3 or higher.
  • Pomona92 database available from Daylight Chemical Information Systems, Inc. (Daylight CIS), Irvine, California, contains many, along with citations to the original literature. However, the logP values are most conveniently calculated by the Pamona Med Chem/Daylight "CLOGP” program, Version 4.42 available from Biobyte Corporation, Claremont, California. This program also lists experimental logP values when they are available in the Pomona92 database.
  • the "calculated logP” (ClogP) is determined by the fragment approach of Hansch and Leo (cf., A. Leo, in Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 4, C. Hansch, P. G. Sammens, J. B. Taylor and C. A. Ramsden, Eds., p.
  • the fragment approach is based on the chemical structure of each perfume ingredient, and takes into account the numbers and types of atoms, the atom connectivity, and chemical bonding.
  • the ClogP values which are the most reliable and widely used estimates for this physicochemical property, are preferably used instead of the experimental logP values in the selection of perfume ingredients which are useful in the present invention.

  • the blooming perfume compositions of the present invention contain from about 15 to about 60% of blooming perfume ingredients, preferably from about 20 to about 50% of blooming perfume ingredients, more preferably from about 25 to about 40% of blooming perfume ingredients.
  • the blooming perfume compositions herein preferably should not contain any single blooming ingredient at a level that would provide, by weight, more than about 2% of that ingredient to the total dishwashing composition, more preferably not more than about 1.5%, and even more preferably not more than about 0.5%, of the dishwashing composition.
  • the perfume composition itself preferably should not contain more than 60% of any single perfume ingredient.
  • Most common perfume ingredients, which are derived from natural sources, are composed of a multitude of components. For example, orange terpenes contain about 90% to about 95% d-limonene, but also contain many other minor ingredients. When each such material is used in the formulation of blooming perfume compositions of the present invention, it is counted as one ingredient, for the purpose of defining the invention. Synthetic reproductions of such natural perfume ingredients are also comprised of a multitude of components and are counted as one ingredient for the purpose of defining the invention.
  • the blooming perfume composition of the present invention also contain from about 15% to about 70%, preferably from about 20% to about 50%, more preferably from about 25% to about 40%, by weight, of delayed blooming" perfume ingredients.
  • the delayed blooming perfume ingredients of this invention have a B.P., measured at the normal, standard pressure, of about 260°C or lower, preferably less than about 255°C; and more preferably less than about 250°C, and a logP or ClogP of less than about 3.
  • Table 2 gives some non-limiting examples of delayed blooming perfume ingredients useful in automatic dishwashing detergent compositions of the present invention. Delayed blooming perfume ingredients are used primarily in applications where the water will evaporate, thus liberating the perfume.
  • Plastic dishware items are difficult to get fully dry in an automatic dishwashing machine. Due to the hydrophobic nature of plastic surfaces, water tends to collect in tiny droplets which evaporate less readily from the surface than does the thin water film formed on less hydrophobic surfaces such as ceramics. This slower drying of plastic surfaces is used to advantage in the present compositions where, because of the high concentration of delayed blooming ingredients, there will be a constant release of perfume materials from the perfume dispersed in the tiny water droplets on plastic dishware surfaces. This will occur over a longer period than for conventional blooming perfumes due to the relatively high level of delayed blooming perfume ingredients in the present compositions. Thus, plastic items removed from the dishwasher even a considerable time after the cycle has finished will give the impression of being clean and fresh, and any malodors will be masked.
  • a major advantage of this approach is that the delayed blooming perfume ingredients are not very residual to the plastic since they are not very hydrophobic. The delayed blooming perfume ingredients will thus eventually evaporate with the water droplets, leaving no taint on the plastic dishware.
  • the weight ratio of blooming perfume ingredients to delayed blooming perfume ingredients in the present compositions should be from about 0.25 to about 1.5, preferably from about 0.5 to about 1.35, more preferably from about 0.75 to about 1.2.

These materials are used for, e.g., solubilize or diluting some solid or viscous perfume ingredients to, e.g., improve handling and/or formulating. These materials are useful in the blooming perfume compositions, but are not counted in the calculation of the limits for the definition/formulation of the blooming perfume compositions of the present invention.
  • Non-blooming perfume ingredients are those having a B.P. of more than about 260°C.
  • Table 3 gives some non-limiting examples of non-blooming perfume ingredients that have a ClogP of less than about 3.
  • some non-blooming perfume ingredients can be used in small amounts, e.g., to improve overall perfume odor.

These ingredients are particularly effective at masking base odors from the diacyl peroxide-bleaching agent. When used at the low levels herein, an improved blooming perfume composition is obtained that betters masks base odors while still minimizing residual perfume on dishes and tableware. Table 4 provides some non-limiting examples of such base masking perfume ingredients.

  • Such materials include, for example, cyclodextrin/perfume inclusion complexes, polysaccharide cellular matrix perfume microcapsules, and the like. Encapsulation of perfume minimizes the diffusion and loss of the volatile blooming perfume ingredients. Perfume is released when the materials are wetted, to provide a pleasant odor signal in use. Especially preferred are cyclodextrin inclusion complexes.
  • the optional water-activated protective perfume carriers allow the use of lower levels of perfume in the detergent compositions herein because of the reduced loss of the perfume during manufacturing and use. Due to the minimal loss of the volatile ingredients in the blooming perfume compositions, perfume compositions that incorporate water activated protective perfume carrier can contain less blooming perfume ingredients than those used in the free, unencapsulated form.

Compositions having larger size diacyl peroxide particles are more difficult to stabilize in the preferred liquid or gel compositions of the invention, particularly during storage for longer periods of time, and often result in increased deposition and filming on dishware during use in automatic dishwashing machines.
  • Diacyl peroxides within the above particle size range have also been found to provide better stain removal from plastic dishware, while minimizing undesirable deposition and filming, than larger diacyl peroxide particles.
  • the preferred diacyl peroxide particle size thus allows the formulator to obtain good stain removal with a low level of diacyl peroxide, which reduces deposition and filming.
