A suitable method for making the first particle is described in WO2010/122050.
Second Particle: The second particle may be produced by any granulation process such as those described in Meesters, G.M.H. (2007) “Agglomeration of Enzymes, Micro-organisms and Flavours” , Chapter 12 of Granulation, edited by A.D. Salman, M.J. Hounslow and J.P.K. Seville, Elsevier. Examples include prilling (e.g. as described in NL148807) , coated prills (e.g. using a coating of paraffin oil and stearic acid applied at 1-5%prill weight, applied batch-wise to the prills in a Nauta Blender, followed by 1 wt%addition of SiO2 aerosol flow aid) , extrusion-spheronisation (e.g. as described in GB1362365, and DE2137043) , batch high-shear granulation  (e.g. as described in DE2730481, EP0304331 and US 4,106,991) , fluid bed coating-layering (e.g. as described in EP0820017 and WO 91/06638) .
The second particle is typicaly in the form of an enzyme granulate, and may take the form of an agglomerate wherein primary enzyme particles are clustered together using, for example, a water soluble carrier. The water soluble carrier may be selected from the group consisting of water soluble organic alkali metal salt, water soluble inorganic alkaline earth metal salt, water soluble organic alkaline earth metal salt, water soluble carbohydrate, water soluble silicate, water soluble urea, starch, clay, citric acid carboxymethyl cellulose, fatty acid, fatty alcohol, glyceryl diester of hydrogenated tallow, glycerol, polyethylene glycol (PEG) , and combinations thereof. PEG can be a convenient material to employ to make particles because it can be sufficiently water soluble to dissolve during a wash cycle. Further, PEG can be easily processed as melt. The melt temperature of PEG can vary as a function of molecular weight of the PEG. The melt temperature of PEG, depending on molecular weight and or distribution of molecular weight, can be low enough such that when the particles comprising PEG and enzyme particles are formed from a melt that includes PEG and the enzyme particles, the activity of the enzyme remains high. Those skilled in the art can select suitable stabilisers such as glycerol, borax, citric acid, sodium formate, 4-formylboronic acid and peptide aldehyde based stabilisers to help ensure good storage stability through processing and storage, e.g. as described in WO2009121890 and WO2013188344. PEG has a relatively low cost, may be formed into many different shapes and sizes, minimizes unencapsulated perfume diffusion, and dissolves well in water. PEG comes in various weight average molecular weights. A suitable weight average molecular weight range of PEG includes from about 2,000 to about 13,000, from about 4,000 to about 12,000, alternatively from about 5,000 to about 11,000, alternatively from about 6,000 to about 10,000, alternatively from about 7,000 to about 9,000, alternatively combinations thereof. PEG is available from BASF, for example PLURIOL E 8000, or PLURIOL E 9000, or other PLURIOL product.
In one embodiment, commercially available spherical enzyme granulates may be subjected to additional processing to produce oblate spheroid enzyme granulates.
Cross-sections of non-limiting example enzyme granulates are shown below:
(a) is a dispersion of liquid enzyme in PEG
(b) is a dispersion of liquid enzyme in PEG, with a protective non-enzymatic coating
(c) is a concentric design wherein the enzyme is either present in the core, for example mixed with cellulose fibers, or in a middle layer between a dummy core and outer coating.
(d) is a dispersion of commercial enzyme granulates (e.g. of the Novozymes T/CT/GT/Evity or DuPont Enzoguard designs) , dispersed in a matrix of PEG
(e) and (f) are dispersions of commercial enzyme granulates (e.g. of the Novozymes T/CT/GT/Evity or DuPont Enzoguard designs) , dispersed in a matrix of PEG, with additional coating layers.

Identity: When used herein identity or sequence identity refers to the relatedness between two amino acid sequences.
For purposes of the present invention, the degree of sequence identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, 1970, J. Mol. Biol. 48: 443-453) as implemented in the Needle program of the EMBOSS package (EMBOSS: The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite, Rice et al., 2000, Trends Genet. 16: 276-277) , preferably version 3.0.0 or later. The optional parameters used are gap open penalty of 10, gap extension penalty of 0.5, and the EBLOSUM62 (EMBOSS version of BLOSUM62) substitution matrix. The output of Needle labeled “longest identity” (obtained using the –nobrief option) is used as the percent identity and is calculated as follows:
(Identical Residues x 100) / (Length of Alignment –Total Number of Gaps in Alignment) .
Brightener: Suitable fluorescent brighteners include: di-styryl biphenyl compounds, e.g.

Preferred brighteners are: sodium 2 (4-styryl-3-sulfophenyl) -2H-napthol [1, 2-d] triazole, disodium 4, 4'-bis { [ (4-anilino-6- (N methyl-N-2 hydroxyethyl) amino 1 , 3, 5-triazin-2-yl) ] amino} stilbene-2-2'disulfonate, disodium 4, 4'-bis { [ (4-anilino-6-morpholino-1, 3, 5-triazin-2-yl) ] amino} stilbene-2-2'disulfonate, and disodium 4, 4'-bis (2-sulfostyryl) biphenyl. A suitable fluorescent brightener is C.I. Fluorescent Brightener 260, which may be used in its beta or alpha crystalline forms, or a mixture of these forms.
Hueing agent: Suitable hueing agents include small molecule dyes, typically falling into the Colour Index (C.I. ) classifications of Acid, Direct, Basic, Reactive (including hydrolysed forms thereof) or Solvent or Disperse dyes, for example classified as Blue, Violet, Red, Green or Black, and provide the desired shade either alone or in combination. Preferred such hueing agents include Acid Violet 50, Direct Violet 9, 66 and 99, Solvent Violet 13 and any combination thereof.
Many hueing agents are known and described in the art which may be suitable for the present invention, such as hueing agents described in WO2014/089386.
Suitable hueing agents include phthalocyanine and azo dye conjugates, such as described in WO2009/069077.
Suitable hueing agents may be alkoxylated. Such alkoxylated compounds may be produced by organic synthesis that may produce a mixture of molecules having different degrees of alkoxylation. Such mixtures may be used directly to provide the hueing agent, or may undergo a purification step to increase the proportion of the target molecule. Suitable hueing agents include alkoxylated bis-azo dyes, such as described in WO2012/054835, and/or alkoxylated thiophene azo dyes, such as described in WO2008/087497 and WO2012/166768.
The hueing agent may be incorporated into the detergent composition as part of a reaction mixture which is the result of the organic synthesis for a dye molecule, with optional purification step (s) . Such reaction mixtures generally comprise the dye molecule itself and in addition may comprise un-reacted starting materials and/or by-products of the organic synthesis route. Suitable hueing agents can be incorporated into hueing dye particles, such as described in WO 2009/069077.
Reserve alkalinity: Typically, the composition at 1wt%dilution in deionized water at 20℃, has a reserve alkalinity to pH 7.5 of less than 3.0gNaOH/100g, preferably less than 2.5gNaOH/100g, or even less than 2.0gNaOH/100g.
As used herein, the term “reserve alkalinity” is a measure of the buffering capacity of the detergent composition (g/NaOH/100g detergent composition) determined by titrating a 1% (w/v)  solution of detergent composition with hydrochloric acid to pH 7.5 i.e. in order to calculate Reserve Alkalinity as defined herein:
