Definitions
- This invention pertains to detergent compositions containing enzymes. More importantly, this invention pertains to detergent compositions containing enzyme and polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactant.
- enzymes are biological materials they are subject to denaturation and deactivation, especially after prolonged contact with other ingredients present in fully formulated detergent compositions. Thus, a freshly formulated detergent composition containing enzymes will often exhibit substantially higher cleaning performance than will older product which has been warehoused or stored on the shelf. Shelf-stability of enzyme-containing detergent compositions, especially liquid detergents, has been of considerable concern to formulators, and a variety of enzyme stabilizers have been devised. For example, various boron compounds, formate salts, ethanolamines, and/or various short chain fatty acids are commonly added to detergent compositions to provide enzyme stability. Such stabilizers are often used in liquid detergent compositions containing enzymes.
- enzymes are relatively expensive, and their inclusion in detergent compositions represents an added cost to the formulator and, ultimately, to the user. Accordingly, it would be advantageous if enzyme performance were improved by less expensive additives.
- polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants of the type disclosed hereinafter provide a stabilizing and/or performance boosting function for enzymes. Quite possibly, the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides function by removing molecular "fragments" produced as the enzymes attack soils and stains, thereby allowing the enzymes to perform more efficiently. Whatever the mechanism of action, the invention herein achieves the ultimate goal of delivering enhanced removal of enzyme-labile soils and stains and, thus, improves overall performance, in fully-formulated enzyme-containing detergent compositions.
- the polyhydroxy fatty acid amide itself is an excellent detersive surfactant.
- this type of surfactant can be obtained largely or entirely from natural, renewable raw materials, and can be substituted in whole or part for petroleum-based surfactants without loss of detergency.

- suds suppressors can be desirable because the polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants hereof can increase suds stability of the detergent compositions. Suds suppression can be of particular importance when the detergent compositions include a relatively high sudsing surfactant in combination with the polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactant. Suds suppression is particularly desirable for compositions intended for use in front loading automatic washing machines. These machines are typically characterized by having drums, for containing the laundry and wash water, which have a horizontal axis and rotary action about the axis. This type of agitation can result in high suds formation and, consequently, in reduced cleaning performance. The use of suds suppressors can also be of particular importance under hot water washing conditions and under high surfactant concentration conditions.

It is also known to utilize waxy hydrocarbons, preferrably having a melting point below about 100°C.
- the hydrocarbons constitute a preferred category of suds suppressor for detergent compositions. Hydrocarbon suds suppressors are described, for example, in U.S. Patent 4,265,779, issued May 5, 1981 to Gandolfo, et al.

- the ester and sodium methoxide catalyst are added. Samples are taken periodically to monitor the course of the reaction, but it is noted that the solution is completely clear by 63.5 minutes. It is judged that the reaction is, in fact, nearly complete at that point.
- the reaction mixture is maintained at reflux for 4 hours. After removal of the methanol, the recovered crude product weighs 156.16 grams. After vacuum drying and purification, an overall yield of 106.92 grams purified product is recovered. However, percentage yields are not calculated on this basis, inasmuch as regular sampling throughout the course of the reaction makes an overall percentage yield value meaningless.
- the reaction can be carried out at 80% and 90% reactant concentrations for periods up to 6 hours to yield products with extremely small by-product formation.
- a modern, condensed laundry detergent granule is as follows.
- Highly preferred granules of the foregoing types are those which comprise from about 0.0001% to about 2% by weight of active enzyme and at least about 1% by weight of said polyhydroxy fatty acid amide, and, most preferably, wherein the anionic surfactant is not an alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant.
- the following relates to the preparation of a preferred liquid heavy duty laundry detergent according to this invention.
- the stability of enzymes in such compositions is considerably less than in granular detergents.
- typical enzyme stabilizers such as formate and boric acid
- lipase and cellulase enzymes can be protected from degradation by protease enzymes.
- lipase stability is still relatively poor in the presence of alkylbenzene sulfonate (“LAS”) surfactants.
- LAS alkylbenzene sulfonate
- LAS alkylbenzene sulfonate
- liquid detergent compositions containing lipase, protease and cellulase enzymes, together. It is particularly challenging to provide such tertiary enzyme systems in stable liquid detergents together with an effective blend of detersive surfactants. Additionally, it is difficult to incorporate peroxidase and/or amylase enzymes stably in such compositions.
- liquid detergent compositions typically contain LAS or mixtures of LAS with surfactants of the RO(A) m SO 3 M type ("AES") noted hereinabove, i.e., LAS/AES mixtures.
- the liquid detergents herein preferably comprise binary mixtures of the AES and polyhydroxy fatty acid amides of the type disclosed herein. While minimal amounts of LAS can be present, it will be appreciated that the stability of the enzymes will be lessened thereby. Accordingly, it is preferred that the liquid compositions be substantially free (i.e., contain less than about 10%, preferably less than about 5%, more preferably less than about 1%, most preferably 0%) of LAS.
- the present invention provides a liquid detergent composition comprising:
- the water-soluble anionic surfactant herein preferably comprises (“AES"): RO(A) m SO 3 M wherein R is an unsubstituted C 10 -C 24 alkyl or hydroxyalkyl (C 10 -C 24 ) group, A is an ethoxy or propoxy unit, m is an integer greater than 0 and M is hydrogen or a cation.

- the liquid compositions herein preferably have a pH in a 10% solution in water at 20°C of from about 6.5 to about 11.0, preferably from about 7.0 to about 8.5.
- compositions preferably further comprise from about 0.1% to about 50% of detergency builder.
- These compositions preferably comprise from about 0.1% to about 20% of citric acid, or water-soluble salt thereof, and from about 0.1% to about 20% of a water-soluble succinate tartrate, especially the sodium salt thereof, and mixtures thereof, or from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of oxydisuccinate or mixtures thereof with the aforesaid builders.
- 0.1%-50% alkenyl succinate can also be used.
- the preferred liquid compositions herein comprise from about 0.0001% to about 2%, preferably about 0.0001% to about 1%, most preferably about 0.001% to about 0.5%, on an active basis, of detersive enzyme.
- detersive enzymes are preferably selected from the group consisting of protease (preferred), lipase (preferred), amylase, cellulase, peroxidase, and mixtures thereof.
- Preferred are compositions with two or more classes of enzymes, most preferably where one is a protease.
- lipases of interest include Amano AKG and Bacillis Sp lipase (e.g., Solvay enzymes). Also, see the lipases described in EP A 0 399 681, published November 28, 1990, EP A 0 218 272, published April 15, 1987 and WO-A-8 800 177, published May 18, 1989.
- Suitable fungal lipases include those producible by Humicola lanuginosa and Thermomyces lanuginosus. Most preferred is the lipase obtained by cloning the gene from Humicola lanuginosa and expressing the gene in Aspergillus oryzae, as described in European Patent Application 0 258 068, commercially available under the trade name LIPOLASE.
- lipase units of lipase per gram (LU/g) of product can be used in these compositions.
- a lipase unit is that amount of lipase which produces 1 ⁇ mol of titratable butyric acid per minute in a pH stat, where pH is 7.0, temperature is 30°C, and substrate is an emulsion tributyrin and gum arabic, in the presence of Ca ++ and NaCl in phosphate buffer.
- Example 1 illustrates a preferred heavy duty liquid detergent composition
- a preferred heavy duty liquid detergent composition comprising:
- the brightener is added to the composition as a separately prepared pre-mix of brightener (4.5%), monoethanolamine (60%) and water (35.5%).
- polyhydroxy fatty acid amides are, by virtue of their amide bond, subject to some instability under highly basic or highly acidic conditions. While some decomposition can be tolerated, it is preferred that these materials not be subjected to pH's above about 11, preferably 10, nor below about 3 for unduly extended periods. Final product pH (liquids) is typically 7.0-9.0.
- the detergent formulator will recognize that it is a simple and convenient matter to use an acid which provides an anion that is otherwise useful and desirable in the finished detergent composition.
- citric acid can be used for purposes of neutralization and the resulting citrate ion ( ca . 1%) be allowed to remain with a ca . 40% polyhydroxy fatty acid amide slurry and be pumped into the later manufacturing stages of the overall detergent-manufacturing process.
- the acid forms of materials such as oxydisuccinate, nitrilotriacetate, ethylenediaminetetraacetate, tartrate/succinate, and the like, can be used similarly.
- the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides derived from coconut alkyl fatty acids are more soluble than their tallow alkyl (predominantly C 16 -C 18 ) counterparts. Accordingly, the C 12 -C 14 materials are somewhat easier to formulate in liquid compositions, and are more soluble in cool-water laundering baths. However, the C 16 -C 18 materials are also quite useful, especially under circumstances where warm-to-hot wash water is used. Indeed, the C 16 -C 18 materials may be better detersive surfactants than their C 12 -C 14 counterparts. Accordingly, the formulator may wish to balance ease-of-manufacture vs. performance when selecting a particular polyhydroxy fatty acid amide for use in a given formulation.
- solubility of the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides can be increased by having points of unsaturation and/or chain branching in the fatty acid moiety.
- materials such as the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides derived from oleic acid and iso-stearic acid are more soluble than their n-alkyl counterparts.
- polyhydroxy fatty acid amides prepared from disaccharides, trisaccharides, etc. will ordinarily be greater than the solubility of their monosaccharide-derived counterpart materials. This higher solubility can be of particular assistance when formulating liquid compositions.
- polyhydroxy fatty acid amides wherein the polyhydroxy group is derived from maltose appear to function especially well as detergents when used in combination with conventional alkylbenzene sulfonate ("LAS") surfactants.
- LAS alkylbenzene sulfonate
- the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides can be manufactured not only from the purified sugars, but also from hydrolyzed starches, e.g., corn starch, potato starch, or any other convenient plant-derived starch which contains the mono-, di-, etc. saccharide desired by the formulator. This is of particular importance from the economic standpoint. Thus, "high glucose” corn syrup, "high maltose” corn syrup, etc. can conveniently and economically be used. De-lignified, hydrolyzed cellulose pulp can also provide a raw material source for the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides.
- polyhydroxy fatty acid amides derived from the higher saccharides such as maltose, lactose, etc.
- the more soluble polyhydroxy fatty acid amides can help solubilize their less soluble counterparts, to varying degrees.
- the formulator may elect to use a raw material comprising a high glucose corn syrup, for example, but to select a syrup which contains a modicum of maltose (e.g., 1% or more).
- the resulting mixture of polyhydroxy fatty acids will, in general, exhibit more preferred solubility properties over a broader range of temperatures and concentrations than would a "pure" glucose-derived polyhydroxy fatty acid amide.
- the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides prepared from mixed sugars can offer very substantial advantages with respect to performance and/or ease-of-formulation.
- some loss of grease removal performance may be noted at fatty acid maltamide levels above about 25% and some loss in sudsing above about 33% (said percentages being the percentage of maltamide-derived polyhydroxy fatty acid amide vs . glucose-derived polyhydroxy fatty acid amide in the mixture). This can vary somewhat, depending on the chain length of the fatty acid moiety.
- the formulator electing to use such mixtures may find it advantageous to select polyhydroxy fatty acid amide mixtures which contain ratios of monosaccharides (e.g., glucose) to di- and higher saccharides (e.g., maltose) from about 4:1 to about 99:1.
- monosaccharides e.g., glucose
- di- and higher saccharides e.g., maltose
- the formulator of, for example, solid, typically granular, detergent compositions may find it convenient to run the process at 30°C-90°C in solvents which comprise ethoxylated alcohols, such as the ethoxylated (EO 3-8) C 12 -C 14 alcohols, such as those available as NEODOL 23 EO6.5 (Shell).
- ethoxylated alcohols such as the ethoxylated (EO 3-8) C 12 -C 14 alcohols, such as those available as NEODOL 23 EO6.5 (Shell).
- ethoxylates it is preferred that they not contain substantial amounts of unethoxylated alcohol and, most preferably, not contain substantial amounts of mono-ethoxylated alcohol.
- T designation.
- the industrial scale reaction sequence for preparing the preferred acyclic polyhydroxy fatty acid amides will comprise: Step 1 - preparing the N-alkyl polyhydroxy amine derivative from the desired sugar or sugar mixture by formation of an adduct of the N-alkyl amine and the sugar, followed by reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst; followed by Step 2 - reacting the aforesaid polyhydroxy amine with, preferably, a fatty ester to form an amide bond.
- Step 2 of the reaction sequence can be prepared by various art-disclosed processes, the following process is convenient and makes use of economical sugar syrup as the raw material. It is to be understood that, for best results when using such syrup raw materials, the manufacturer should select syrups that are quite light in color or, preferably, nearly colorless ("water-white").
- the Gardner Color for the adduct is much worse as the temperature is raised above about 30°C and at about 50°C, the time that the adduct has a Gardner Color below 7 is only about 30 minutes.
- the temperature should be less than about 20°C.
- the Gardner Color should be less than about 7, and preferably less than about 4 for good color glucamine.
- the time to reach substantial equilibrium concentration of the adduct is shortened by the use of higher ratios of amine to sugar.
- equilibrium is reached in about two hours at a reaction temperature of about 30°C.
- the time is at least about three hours.
- the combination of amine:sugar ratio; reaction temperature; and reaction time is selected to achieve substantially equilibrium conversion, e.g., more than about 90%, preferably more than about 95%, even more preferably more than about 99%, based upon the sugar, and a color that is less than about 7, preferably less than about 4, more preferably less than about 1, for the adduct.
- the starting sugar material must be very near colorless in order to consistently have adduct that is acceptable.
- the sugar has a Gardner Color of about 1, the adduct is sometimes acceptable and sometimes not acceptable.
- the Gardner Color is above 1 the resulting adduct is unacceptable. The better the initial color of the sugar, the better is the color of the adduct.
- the above procedure is repeated with about 23.1 g of Raney Ni catalyst with the following changes.
- the catalyst is washed three times and the reactor, with the catalyst in the reactor, is purged twice with 14.06 bar (200 psig) H 2 and the reactor is pressurized with H 2 at 112.54 bar (1600 psig) for two hours, the pressure is released at one hour and the reactor is repressurized to 112.54 bar (1600 psig).
- the adduct is then pumped into the reactor which is at 14.06 bar (200 psig) and 20°C, and the reactor is purged with 14.06 bar (200 psig) H 2 , etc., as above.
- the resulting product in each case is greater than about 95% N-methyl glucamine; has less than about 10 ppm Ni based upon the glucamine; and has a solution color of less than about Gardner 2.
- the crude N-methyl glucamine is color stable to about 140°C for a short exposure time.
- adduct that has low sugar content (less than about 5%, preferably less than about 1%) and a good color (less than about 7, preferably less than about 4 Gardner, more preferably less than about 1).
- adduct is prepared starting with about 159 g of about 50% methylamine in water, which is purged and shielded with N 2 at about 10-20°C. About 330 g of about 70% corn syrup (near water-white) is degassed with N 2 at about 50°C and is added slowly to the methylamine solution at a temperature of less than about 20°C. The solution is mixed for about 30 minutes to give about 95% adduct that is a very light yellow solution.
- About 190 g of adduct in water and about 9 g of United Catalyst G49B Ni catalyst are added to a 200 ml autoclave and purged three times with H 2 at about 20°C.
- the H 2 pressure is raised to about 14.06 bar (200 psi) and the temperature is raised to about 50°C.
- the pressure is raised to 17.58 bar (250 psi) and the temperature is held at about 50-55°C for about three hours.
- the product, which is about 95% hydrogenated at this point, is then raised to a temperature of about 85°C for about 30 minutes and the product, after removal of water and evaporation, is about 95% N-methyl glucamine, a white powder.
- Ni content in the glucamine is about 100 ppm as compared to the less than 10 ppm in the previous reaction.
- a 200 ml autoclave reactor is used following typical procedures similar to those set forth above to make adduct and to run the hydrogen reaction at various temperatures.
- Adduct for use in making glucamine is prepared by combining about 420 g of about 55% glucose (corn syrup) solution (231 g glucose; 1.28 moles) (the solution is made using 99DE corn syrup from CarGill, the solution having a color less than Gardner 1) and about 119 g of 50% methylamine (59.5 g MMA; 1.92 moles) (from Air Products).

- the compositions herein can contain more or less of various suds control agents.
- various suds control agents For dishwashing high sudsing is desirable so no suds control agent will be used.
- a wide variety of suds control agents are known in the art and can be routinely selected for use herein. Indeed, the selection of suds control agent, or mixtures of suds control agents, for any specific detergent composition will depend not only on the presence and amount of polyhydroxy fatty acid amide used therein, but also on the other surfactants present in the formulation.
- silicone-based suds control agents of various types are more efficient (i.e., lower levels can be used) than various other types of suds control agents.

- these additional soil release agents can comprise, for example, the reaction product of dimethyl terephthalate, ethylene glycol, 5-sodiosulfoisophthalate and 3-sodiosulfobenzoic acid.
- Such agents are preferred for use in granular laundry detergents.
- the formulator may also determine that it is advantageous to include a non-perborate bleach, especially in heavy-duty granular laundry detergents.
- a non-perborate bleach especially in heavy-duty granular laundry detergents.
- peroxygen bleaches are available, commercially, and can be used herein, but, of these, percarbonate is convenient and economical.
- the compositions herein can contain a solid percarbonate bleach, normally in the form of the sodium salt, incorporated at a level of from 3% to 20% by weight, more preferably from 5% to 18% by weight and most preferably from 8% to 15% by weight of the composition.

- the percarbonate While heavy metals present in the sodium carbonate used to manufacture the percarbonate can be controlled by the inclusion of sequestrants in the reaction mixture, the percarbonate still requires protection from heavy metals present as impurities in other ingredients of the product. It has been found that the total level of iron, copper and manganese ions in the product should not exceed 25 ppm and preferably should be less than 20 ppm in order to avoid an unacceptably adverse effect on percarbonate stability.

The mixer is started by first rotating the pan in a counterclockwise direction at approximately 75 rotations per minute (rpm), and then rotating the rotor blade in a clockwise direction at 1800 rpm. The binder material is then pumped from the static mixer directly into the Eirich R08 energy intensive mixer which contains Zeolite A. The feed rate of the binder material is about 2 minutes. The mixer continues to mix for an additional 1 minute for a total batch time of approximately 3 minutes. The batch is then discharged and collected in a fiber drum.

- the use of ethanolamides appears to help cold temperature stability of the finished formulations.
- the use of sulfobetaine and/or amine oxide surfactants provides superior sudsing.
- compositions where high sudsing is desired it is preferred that less than about 5%, preferably less than about 2%, most preferably substantially no C 14 or higher fatty acids be present, since these can suppress sudsing. Accordingly, the formulator of high sudsing compositions will desirably avoid the introduction of suds-suppressing amounts of such fatty acids into high sudsing compositions with the polyhydroxy fatty acid amide and/or avoid the formation of C 14 and higher fatty acids on storage of the finished compositions.
- One simple means is to use C 12 ester reactants to prepare the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides herein. Fortunately, the use of amine oxide or sulfobetaine surfactants can overcome some of the negative sudsing effects caused by the fatty acids.
- anionic optical brighteners to liquid detergents containing relatively high concentrations (e.g., 10% and greater) of anionic or polyanionic substituents such as the polycarboxylate builders may find it useful to pre-mix the brightener with water and the polyhydroxy fatty acid amide, and then to add the pre-mix to the final composition.
- Polyglutamic acid or polyaspartic acid dispersants can be usefully employed with zeolite-built detergents.
- AE fluid or flake and DC-544 are other examples of useful suds control agents herein.
