Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cleaning composition.
- the invention relates to a cleaning composition comprising detergent surfactant, electrolyte and abrasive particles of vegetable origin and defibrillated primary cell wall material comprising microfibrils.
- the invention also provides a method for preparing a cleaning composition and a composition obtainable by that method.
- Cleaning compositions comprising detergent surfactants are well-known in many fields of application, for instance for hard surface cleaning, dishwashing, laundry washing, skin care, scalp and hair care, oral care.
- Most surfactant compositions have a tendency to foam, in particular once they are diluted upon application.
- foaming is perceived as a sign of detergency. Often it is even perceived as a prerequisite for detergency. Therefore, good foam formation is a very desirable characteristic for many cleaning compositions. It is especially desirable that the foamy or frothy layer, once formed, does not disappear readily but remains in place for the consumer to be observed.
- optimising a formulation to provide such optimal foaming may negatively affect other characteristics.
- Hand dish wash cleaning compositions suitable for washing dishes are known. Such compositions should not only have proper foaming performance but also be able to deliver excellent grease and soil removal. Cleaning of tough soil on hard surfaces may be difficult and abrasive particles may be included to provide better cleaning

- Microfibril characterisation Degree of crystallinity of cellulose-containing microfibrils Wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) is used to determine the degree of crystallinity, using the following protocol. The measurements were performed on a Bruker D8 Discover X-ray diffractometer with GADDS (General Area Detector Diffraction System) (From Bruker-AXS, Delft, NL) (Part No: 882-014900 Serial No: 02-826) in a theta/theta configuration. A copper anode was used, and the K- alpha radiation with wavelength 0.15418 nm was selected. The instrumental parameters as used are shown in the table below.
- the degree of crystallinity Xc was calculated from the following equation:
- Microfibril characterisation Diameter of microfibrils
- TEM Transmission electron microscopy
- compositions according to the invention were prepared and compared with a comparative example according to WO 2013/160024 A1. Preparation of comparative example A
- citrus fibre Herbacel AQ+ type P ex Herbafoods
- the citrus fibre was allowed to hydrate under stirring for 20 minutes.
- the resulting dispersion was homogenised by passing it over high pressure homogeniser (brand: SPX, model: APV Lab2000), at a pressure of 500 bar.
- citrus fibre Herbacel AQ+ type P ex Herbafoods
- NaOH sodium hydroxide
- LAS linear alkyl benzene sulphonate
- SLES sodium lauryl ether sulfate
- chelator sodium lauryl ether sulfate
- the resulting dispersion was homogenised by passing it over high pressure homogeniser (brand: SPX, model: APV Lab2000), at a pressure of 500 bar (Example 1 ), 600 bar (Example 2), 700 bar (Example 3), 800 bar (Example 4), 900 bar (Example 5), and 1000 bar (Example 6) respectively.
- high pressure homogeniser brand: SPX, model: APV Lab2000
- 500 bar Example 1
- 600 bar Example 2
- 700 bar Example 3
- 800 bar Example 4
- 900 bar Example 5
- 1000 bar 1000 bar
- composition homogeneity parameter CHP was determined for the cleaning compositions of each of the examples 1 - 6, and for comparative example A.
- the protocol to establish the parameter includes three parts: sample preparation, confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM), and digital image analysis to calculate the CHP value.
- CHP - sample preparation includes three parts: sample preparation, confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM), and digital image analysis to calculate the CHP value.
- a volume of 2 mL of the resulting diluted sample was taken with a Finn pipette (Labsystems 4500, H37095) and deposited in an Eppendorf safelock tube.
- a Finn pipette (Labsystems 4500, H37095) and deposited in an Eppendorf safelock tube.
- 20 ⁇ _ of a 0.5 w/v % aqueous solution of Congo Red dye was added with a Finn pipette (Labsystems 4027, H56580).
- the sample was gently shaken to distribute the dye.
- a sample holder was filled with the dyed sample material.
- the sample holder consisted of two cover slides separated by a spacer.
- the spacer was a rectangular glass slide of 3 mm thick with a circular hole (0.5 cm diameter) in which the sample could be deposited.
- CSLM Confocal scanning laser microscopy
- the resolution of the images was set to 1024 by 1024 pixels and a line averaging of 3 was used. Each pixel represented a sample area of 1515.2 by 1515.2 nm.
- the individual pictures that make up the tile scan were exported as tiff files with a colour depth of 24bit RGB without incorporating any scale bar (the reconstructed larger tile images were not used in the image analysis).
- spikes/outliers were removed from the obtained histogram by visual inspection, considering that a channel displaying a spike has a considerably larger value than the channels immediately adjacent to it (-2 times or higher).
- the histogram displays a smooth distribution
- the value of the spike is larger than the maximum of this distribution and located on the right or left of the true maximum.
- the maximum of the distribution is determined and divided by two.
- the full width at half maximum (FWHM) was determined by counting the channels that have a value higher or equal to half the maximum. Any channel containing a zero value that is adjacent to a channel with a count higher than half the maximum is included in the count.
- the obtained channel count is divided by 256 to yield a FWHM number between 0 and 1 for each individual image.
- the composition homogeneity parameter is then calculated as the arithmetic average of the FWHM values obtained for the individual images of a particular sample. The reported error is the standard deviation of this average.
- the characterisation of the examples in terms of their CHP is summarised in Table 4.
- compositions A and 1-6 were aerated using a Kenwood Chef Classic orbital mixer with a whisk utensil. Demi-water (190 grams) and 10 grams of composition were placed in the bowl of the mixer, followed by mixing for 1 minute at preset 5. The contents of the bowl were transferred to a 1 litre polypropylene beaker (bottom diameter 96 mm, height 182 mm, e Vitlab). In the beaker a liquid layer and a clearly discernable foam layer are formed within several minutes. The volume of the foam was recorded every 30 minutes up until 150 minutes after the start of the experiment. The resulting foam volumes are presented in Table 5 below.
- Examples 1 to 6 all had statistically significant more foam volume compared to comparative example A for each recorded incubation time (r ⁇ 0.05 according to Student's T-test with two tailed distribution and two sample equal variance).
- Table 5 Foam stability of examples 1 - 6 versus comparative example A
- R n (t) is the relative foam volume of Example n (n being A, 1 , 2, or 3) at time f
- V n (t) is the foam volume of Example n at time f.
- Table 6 Relative foam volume relative to comparative A
- Table 5 shows that the foam volume decreased over time for all of the Examples 1 to 6. However, as Table 6 shows, the relative foam volume (relative to the volume of the comparative example) increases over time for all six Examples according to the present invention. This demonstrates that the foams of the compositions of the invention decay significantly slower than the comparative foam.
