Definitions
- This invention relates to particulate, e.g. granular, enzymatic detergent compositions.
- the invention relates to detergent granulates of high density, and especially for example those that contain enzyme, e.g. lipase.
- EP 0 219 328 discloses a granular low-phosphate detergent composition prepared by spray-drying a slurry to give a base powder containing a low to moderate level of sodium tripolyphosphate builder and low levels of inorganic salts, and then postdosing solid material including sodium sulphate of high bulk density and of smaller particle size than the base powder, thus filling the voids between base powder particles and producing a product of high bulk density.
- JP 61-069897 discloses a batch process in which a spray-dried detergent powder containing surfactant and builder is subjected successively to pulverising and granulating treatments in a high-speed mixer, the granulation being carried out in the presence of an "agent for improving surface properties" and optionally a binder. It would appear that in the high-speed mixer, the spray-dried powder is initially broken down to a fine state of division; the surface-improving agent and optional binder are then added and the pulverised material granulated to form a final product of high bulk density.
- the surface-improving agent which is a finely divided particulate solid such as fine sodium aluminosilicate, is apparently required in order to prevent the composition from forming into large balls or cakes:
- the examples of spray-dried starting powders described in the Kao specification contain very high levels of surfactant (45% by weight) and relatively low levels of builder salts, and are likely to have a high tendency towards caking and balling.
- EP 0 229 671 discloses postdosing a crystalline alkaline inorganic salt, for example, sodium carbonate, to a spray-dried base powder to produce a high bulk density product.
- a crystalline alkaline inorganic salt for example, sodium carbonate
- GB 1 517 713 (Unilever), which discloses a process in which a detergent powder produced by spray-drying or pan granulation is spheronised and granulated in a "marumerizer” (Trade Mark) with some increase in bulk density.
- EP 0 220 024 (Procter & Gamble) is also concerned with the densification of a spray-dried powder containing a high level (30-85% by weight) of anionic surfactant.
- the powder is compacted and granulated, inorganic builder (sodium tripolyphosphate, or sodium aluminosilicate and sodium carbonate) being added before compaction.

- JA 63-017996 discloses phosphorus-free enzyme-containing powder detergents after-blended with alkaline inorganic builder, to improve enzyme stabilisation.
- enzyme-containing detergent powders are provided for example in JA 63-078000 (Lion), JA 63-069894 (Kao), JA 62-260900 (Sunstar), JA 62-068898 (Lion), JA 62 043499 (Kao), JA 61-291693 (Kao), JA 61-238898 (Lion), JA 59-221396 (lion) and JA 58-045300 (Lion).
- a further aim is to incorporate into high bulk density powders and/or granulates compositions which have suitable properties to support enzyme activities, and particularly for example lipase activity.
- detergent granulates and powders e.g. of high-bulk-density, e.g. higher than about 600 g/l, e.g. at least about 650 g/l, preferably at least about 700 g/l, e.g. about 750 g/l or about 800 g/l or more, with high levels of detergent actives, e.g. at least 15% (wt), often around 18-23% or higher.
- detergent granulates and powders e.g. of high-bulk-density which have a low salt (esp. neutral salt) content, e.g. those that yield a wash solution with ionic strength much lower than the ionic strength derived from standard washing powders, e.g. ionic strength of about 0.04 or less, e.g. about 0.03 or less, e.g. about 0.025 or less or about 0.02 or less, as compared with levels of about 0.06 - 0.09 or more derived from current washing powders, when used in standard quantity so as to yield a washing solution with (e.g.) about 0.8 g/l surfactant concentration.
- the upper ionic strength limit may be up to 0.05.
- the invention provides an enzymatic detergent composition in the form of a granulate or powder, comprising surfactant, enzyme and optionally normal detergent adjuncts, characterised in that, in combination, said composition (a) has a bulk density higher than about 600 g/l, and (b) has an electrolyte content such that said composition yields a wash solution with ionic strength lower than about 0.04, (with the proviso that the ionic strength may be up to about 0.05 when phosphate builder is present), when said composition is dissolved or dispersed in aqueous liquid in an amount that gives about 0.8 g/l surfactant concentration.
- embodiments of this invention incorporating lipase in low-ionic-strength detergent formulations can give improved fabric wash results in respect of the odour quality/quantity of the fabrics after washing, as compared with results obtained using lipase enzyme in connection with detergents of higher ionic strength.
- a convenient water type for comparing ionic strengths of various detergent compositions in use is for example a water having 15 degrees French hardness.
- detergent granulates and powders e.g. of high-bulk-density which have a low or even close-to-zero content of neutral salt (e.g. sodium sulphate), e.g. usually less than 10%, often less than 5% to 2%, or even less than 1% or absent.
- neutral salt e.g. sodium sulphate
- the detergent compositions of the invention may for example comprise either phosphates or related builders or aluminosilicates or related builders or mixtures of the two types. Very often a level for such materials in the range of the order of about 25-40% by weight will be found useful, more broadly at least about 15% or for example up to about 45%.
- examples of the compositions of the invention may sometimes have up to 15% neutral salt content, e.g. sodium sulphate.
- Enzymes other than lipase include protease, amylase, oxidase and/or cellulase.
- compositions can comprise lipase enzyme in for example an amount in the range 50 to 30,000 (LU) lipase units per gram of the surfactant system or of the detergent composition.
- lipase units are defined as they are in EP 0 258 068 (Novo).
- lipase enzyme shows surprisingly little inhibition.
- the lipolytic enzyme can usefully be added in the form of a granular composition of lipolytic enzyme with carrier material (e.g. as in EP 0 258 068 and Savinase and Lipolase products of Novo).
- carrier material e.g. as in EP 0 258 068 and Savinase and Lipolase products of Novo.
- the added amount of lipolytic enzyme can be chosen within wide limits, for example 50 to 30,000 LU/g of granular detergent composition, e.g. often at least 100 LU/g, very usefully at least 500 LU/g, sometimes preferably above 1000, above 2000 LU/g or above 4000 LU/g or more, thus very often within the range 50-4000 LU/g and possibly within the range 200-1000 LU/g.
- the lipolytic enzyme can be chosen from among a wide range of lipases: in particular the lipases described in for example the following patent specifications, EP 0 214 761 (Novo), EP 0 258 068 (Novo) and especially lipases showing immunological cross-reactivity with antisera raised against lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus ATCC 22070, EP 0 205 208 (Unilever) and EP 0 206 390 (Unilever), and especially lipases showing immunological cross-reactivity with antisera raised against lipase from Chromobacter viscosum var lipolyticum NRRL B-3673, or against lipase from Alcaligenes PL-679, ATCC 31371 and FERM-P 3783, also the lipases described in specifications WO 87/00859 (Gist-Brocades) and EP 0 204 284 (Sapporo Breweries).
- Suitable in particular are for example the following commercially available lipase preparations: Novo Lipolase, Amano lipases CE, P, B, AP, M-AP, AML, and CES, and Meito lipases MY-30, OF, and PL, also esterase MM, Lipozym, SP225, SP285, Saiken lipase, Enzeco lipase, Toyo Jozo lipase and Diosynth lipase (Trade Marks).
- Lipase gene e.g. the gene for lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus or from a mutant thereof, and introduction and expression of the gene or derivative thereof in a suitable producer organism such as an Aspergillus.
- a suitable producer organism such as an Aspergillus.
- the techniques described in WO 88/02775 (Novo), EP 0 243 338 (Labofina) and EP 0 268 452 (Genencor) may be applied and adapted.
- Amylase can for example be used when present in an amount in the range about 1 to about 100 MU (maltose units) per gram of detergent composition, (or 0.014-1.4, e.g. 0.07-0.7, KNU/g (Novo units)).
- Cellulase can for example be used when present in an amount in the range about 0.3 to about 35 CEVU units per gram of the detergent composition.
- Protease can for example be used when present in an amount in the range about 0.0002 to about 0.05 Anson units per gram of the detergent composition.
- the detergent compositions may be based on non-soap surfactant, e.g. usually at least partially anionic surfactant.
- Suitable anionic surfactants are well known to those skilled in the art, and include linear alkylbenzene sulphonates, primary alcohol sulphates, alkyl ether sulphates, alpha-olefin sulphonates, internal olefin sulphonates, fatty acid ester sulphonates and combinations thereof. It is preferred that (e.g. alpha-) olefin sulphonates are absent or not used in substantial or appreciable quantity, e.g. less than 10-15%, e.g. less than 5%, of the total surfactant of the composition.
- nonionic surfactant such as alkoxylated fatty alcohols may also be present, preferably in a minor amount.
- surfactant component of the compositions of the invention may be constituted by 10 to 35% by weight of anionic surfactant preferably alkylbenzene sulphonate and/or primary alcohol sulphate and 0 to 10% by weight of nonionic surfactant.
- the detergent compositions may furthermore include the following usual detergent ingredients in the usual amounts. They may be built or unbuilt, and may be of the zero-P type (i.e. not containing any phosphorus-containing builders). Thus the composition may contain in aggregate for example from 1-50%, e.g. at least about 5% and often up to about 35-40% by weight, of one or more organic and/or inorganic builders.
- Typical examples of such builders include those already mentioned above, and more broadly include alkali metal ortho, pyro, and tripolyphosphates, alkali metal carbonates, either alone or in admixture with calcite, alkali metal citrates, alkali metal nitrilotriacetates, carboxymethyloxy succinates, zeolites, polyacetal carboxylates and so on.
