Definitions
- the invention relates to the use of fabric treatment compositions comprising tannins to improve perfume deposition onto fabrics.
- Fabric treatment compositions used in the laundry process provide benefits to fabrics such as providing a pleasant smell. Such pleasant smell is typically provided by perfumes.
- perfumes A problem in the field is that much of the perfume is either not deposited or rinsed away during fabric treatment. Because perfumes are expensive components, encapsulation can be used in order to improve the delivery of the perfume during use. Unfortunately, encapsulation processes are time consuming and expensive as they typically require chemical reactions such as extensive crosslinking and/or result in capsules that over-protect the perfume as such capsules typically require a high energy input to release their active - for example pressure, temperature and/or electromagnetic radiation.
- Such encapsulates' shell typically only protects the benefit agent and, on its own, provides no active value and may even leave a residue when a product containing the encapsulate is used.
- Deposition aids can also be used but typically only improve the deposition of a single specific perfume raw material.
- WO2017/0088798 relates to cleaning compositions comprising tannins to mitigate malodors without imparting color to an article.
- the invention relates to the use of fabric treatment compositions comprising from 0.01% to 5% of tannins, from 0.1% to 50% of surfactants and from 0.1% to 7% of dispersed perfume to provide improved perfume deposition onto treated fabrics.
- the term "fabric treatment composition” is a subset of cleaning and treatment compositions that includes, unless otherwise indicated, granular or powder-form all-purpose or "heavy-duty” washing agents, especially cleaning detergents; liquid, gel or paste-form all-purpose washing agents, especially the so-called heavy-duty liquid types; liquid fine-fabric detergents; liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents, fabric conditioning products including softening and/or freshening that may be in liquid, solid and/or dryer sheet form; as well as cleaning auxiliaries such as bleach additives and "stain-stick” or pre-treat types, substrate-laden products such as dryer added sheets, dry and wetted wipes and pads, nonwoven substrates, and sponges; as well as sprays and mists. All of such products which are applicable may be in standard, concentrated or even highly concentrated form even to the extent that such products may in certain aspect be non-aqueous.
- solid includes granular, powder, bar and tablet product forms.
- fluid includes liquid, gel, paste and gas product forms.
- component or composition levels are in reference to the active portion of that component or composition, and are exclusive of impurities, for example, residual solvents or by-products, which may be present in commercially available sources of such components or compositions.
- the fabric treatment composition of use in the present invention comprises by weight of the composition from 0.01% to 5%, preferably from 0.02% to 3%, more preferably from 0.03% to 1.5%, most preferably from 0.05% to 0.5% of tannins. It was surprisingly found that tannins improve the deposition of perfume onto fabrics and hence improve freshness of fabrics treated with the fabric treatment compositions according to the present invention. As such, tannins act as perfume deposition aids for perfume.
- Tannins are polyphenolic secondary metabolites of higher plants, and are either galloyl esters and their derivatives, in which galloyl moieties or their derivatives are attached to a variety of polyol-, catechin- and triterpenoid cores (gallotannis, ellagitannins and complex tannins), or they are oligomeric and polymeric proanthocyanidis that can possess interflavanyl coupling and substitution patterns (condensed tannins). More details on the classification of tannins can be found in K. Khanbabaee, T. van Ree, Tannins: Classification and Definition, The Royal Society of Chemistry 2001, pages 641-649 .
- Gallotannins are all those tannins in which galloyl units are bound to diverse polyol-, catechin- or triterpenoid units.
- Ellagitannins are those tannins in which at least two galloyl units are C-C coupled to each other, and do not contain a glycosidically linked catechin unit.
- Complex tannins are tannins in which a catechin unit is bound glycosidically to a gallotannin or an ellagitannin unit.
- Condensed tannins are all oligomeric and polymeric proanthocyanidins formed by linkage of C-4 of one catechin with C-8 or C-6 of the next monomeric catechin.
- said treatment composition comprises tannins wherein said tannins are selected from the group consisting of gallotannins, ellagitannins, condensed tannins, complex tannins and mixtures thereof.
- said gallotannins are extracted from sumac galls, Aleppo oak galls, or sumac leaves, more preferably said gallotannins are selected from the group consisting of tannins extracted from Aleppo oak galls.
- said ellagitannins are extracted from chestnut bark, and chestnut wood, more preferably said ellagitannins are selected from the group consisting of tannins extracted from chestnut bark.
- said condensed tannins are selected from the group consisting of tannins extracted from bark pine, querbracho, mimosa bark, spruce bark, grape seeds, more preferably said condensed tannins are selected from the group consisting of tannins extracted from bark pine and querbracho.
- said complex tannins are selected from the group consisting of tannins extracted from persimmon and tea leaves.
- said treatment composition comprises tannins wherein said tannins are selected from the group consisting of condensed tannins, even more preferably said tannins are selected from the group consisting of tannins extracted from bark pine or querbracho.
- the fabric treatment composition of use according to the present invention comprises, by weight of the composition, from 0.01% to 5% of tannins; from 0.1% to 50% of surfactant; from 0.1% to 7% of dispersed perfume.
- the fabric treatment composition comprises dispersed perfume at a level of from 0.2% to 5%, more preferably from 0.3% to 3.5%, more preferably 0.4% to 3%, most preferably from 0.5% to 2.5% by weight of the fabric treatment composition.
- dispersed perfume we herein mean a perfume composition that is freely dispersed in the fabric treatment composition and is not encapsulated. Perfume is typically added to provide the fabric treatment composition with a pleasant smell.
- a perfume composition comprises one or more perfume raw materials ("PRM"). Perfume raw materials are the individual chemical compounds that are used to make a perfume composition. The choice of type and number of perfume raw materials is dependent upon the final desired scent. In the context of the present invention, any suitable perfume composition may be used.
- the dispersed perfume comprises PRM's selected from the list consisting of alpha-Terpineol, Dihydro myrcenol, Hexyl cinnamic aldehyde, Limonene, Linalool, Verdox®, and mixtures thereof.
- said fabric treatment composition is a liquid fabric treatment composition. It is furthermore preferred that that said fabric treatment composition comprises, from 1% to 97%, preferably from 5% to 90%, more preferably from 8% to 80% of water.
- said fabric treatment composition contains, based on total composition weight, 0.05 wt % to 50 wt %, advantageously 1 to 40 wt %, 3 to 30 wt % or 5 wt % to 20 wt % surfactant selected from the groups of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, cationic, zwitterionic and/or amphoteric surfactants.

- from 0.1 % to 7% of dispersed perfume.

Description
- The invention relates to the use of fabric treatment compositions comprising tannins to improve perfume deposition onto fabrics.
- Fabric treatment compositions used in the laundry process provide benefits to fabrics such as providing a pleasant smell. Such pleasant smell is typically provided by perfumes. A problem in the field is that much of the perfume is either not deposited or rinsed away during fabric treatment. Because perfumes are expensive components, encapsulation can be used in order to improve the delivery of the perfume during use. Unfortunately, encapsulation processes are time consuming and expensive as they typically require chemical reactions such as extensive crosslinking and/or result in capsules that over-protect the perfume as such capsules typically require a high energy input to release their active - for example pressure, temperature and/or electromagnetic radiation. Furthermore, such encapsulates' shell typically only protects the benefit agent and, on its own, provides no active value and may even leave a residue when a product containing the encapsulate is used. Deposition aids can also be used but typically only improve the deposition of a single specific perfume raw material.
- Hence a need remains for fabric treatment compositions comprising a perfume and a deposition aid to improve the efficiency of deposition and/or retention of perfume onto fabrics.
-
WO2017/0088798 - The invention relates to the use of fabric treatment compositions comprising from 0.01% to 5% of tannins, from 0.1% to 50% of surfactants and from 0.1% to 7% of dispersed perfume to provide improved perfume deposition onto treated fabrics.
- As used herein, the term "fabric treatment composition" is a subset of cleaning and treatment compositions that includes, unless otherwise indicated, granular or powder-form all-purpose or "heavy-duty" washing agents, especially cleaning detergents; liquid, gel or paste-form all-purpose washing agents, especially the so-called heavy-duty liquid types; liquid fine-fabric detergents; liquid cleaning and disinfecting agents, fabric conditioning products including softening and/or freshening that may be in liquid, solid and/or dryer sheet form; as well as cleaning auxiliaries such as bleach additives and "stain-stick" or pre-treat types, substrate-laden products such as dryer added sheets, dry and wetted wipes and pads, nonwoven substrates, and sponges; as well as sprays and mists. All of such products which are applicable may be in standard, concentrated or even highly concentrated form even to the extent that such products may in certain aspect be non-aqueous.
- As used herein, articles such as "a" and "an" when used in a claim, are understood to mean one or more of what is claimed or described.
- As used herein, the terms "include", "includes" and "including" are meant to be nonlimiting.
- As used herein, the term "solid" includes granular, powder, bar and tablet product forms.
- As used herein, the term "fluid" includes liquid, gel, paste and gas product forms.
- Unless otherwise noted, all component or composition levels are in reference to the active portion of that component or composition, and are exclusive of impurities, for example, residual solvents or by-products, which may be present in commercially available sources of such components or compositions.
- All percentages and ratios are calculated by weight unless otherwise indicated. All percentages and ratios are calculated based on the total composition unless otherwise indicated.
- It should be understood that every maximum numerical limitation given throughout this specification includes every lower numerical limitation, as if such lower numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every minimum numerical limitation given throughout this specification will include every higher numerical limitation, as if such higher numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every numerical range given throughout this specification will include every narrower numerical range that falls within such broader numerical range, as if such narrower numerical ranges were all expressly written herein.
- The fabric treatment composition of use in the present invention comprises by weight of the composition from 0.01% to 5%, preferably from 0.02% to 3%, more preferably from 0.03% to 1.5%, most preferably from 0.05% to 0.5% of tannins. It was surprisingly found that tannins improve the deposition of perfume onto fabrics and hence improve freshness of fabrics treated with the fabric treatment compositions according to the present invention. As such, tannins act as perfume deposition aids for perfume.
- Tannins are polyphenolic secondary metabolites of higher plants, and are either galloyl esters and their derivatives, in which galloyl moieties or their derivatives are attached to a variety of polyol-, catechin- and triterpenoid cores (gallotannis, ellagitannins and complex tannins), or they are oligomeric and polymeric proanthocyanidis that can possess interflavanyl coupling and substitution patterns (condensed tannins). More details on the classification of tannins can be found in K. Khanbabaee, T. van Ree, Tannins: Classification and Definition, The Royal Society of Chemistry 2001, pages 641-649.
- Gallotannins are all those tannins in which galloyl units are bound to diverse polyol-, catechin- or triterpenoid units.
- Ellagitannins are those tannins in which at least two galloyl units are C-C coupled to each other, and do not contain a glycosidically linked catechin unit.
- Complex tannins are tannins in which a catechin unit is bound glycosidically to a gallotannin or an ellagitannin unit.
- Condensed tannins are all oligomeric and polymeric proanthocyanidins formed by linkage of C-4 of one catechin with C-8 or C-6 of the next monomeric catechin.
- The table below provides classes of tannins more widely found in common higher plants.

- It was surprisingly found that tannins improve the deposition of perfume on treated cotton and polyester fabrics, especially cotton fabrics. As such, tannins improve the freshness of treated cotton and polyester fabrics treated with the composition according to the present invention.
- The washing procedure in full scale is performed by using a Miele W1714 washing machine operating at 30°C, 800 rpm and synthetic short program with 2 gpg water.

Fabric treatment compositions are added into the washing machine together with the washing load.
- Wet fabrics coming from the washing machine are dried at room temperature for 15 hours and then cut into 5 cm x 5 cm pieces. Samples for deposition tests are prepared as follows:
- 1) Each dried piece of treated fabric is put into a 20 mL vial;
- 2) 12 mL of ethanol are poured into each vial containing the fabrics;
- 3) 12 mL of ethanol are also poured into 3 vials for the preparation of the standards (at 3 different perfume levels);

bPerfume accord comprising more than 20 PRM's including abundant PRM's alpha-Terpineol, Dihydro myrcenol, Hexyl cinnamic aldehyde, Limonene, Linalool, and Verdox®. - Tannin solutions were prepared by adding the pine bark extract tannins and 1,2 propanediol into a glass vial. In order to further accelerate the solubilization of the tannins, the solutions were put into an ultrasonic bath for 30 minutes. The fabric treatment compositions were prepared by adding perfume and, when present, the tannins solutions to an unperfumed liquid detergent in a glass jar and mixing until a homogeneous fabric treatment composition was obtained.
Table 1: Composition of examples 1 and 2. The comparative example 1 is indicated with an asterisk. Ex. 1* Ex. 2 Weight % Water Balance to 100% Perfume 0.72% Pine Bark Extract Tannin 4E0510 - 0.50% C11.8 Linear Alkyl Benzene (HLAS) 6.90 Amines, C12-14 (even numbered) -alkyldimethyl, N-oxides 0.660 Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), alpha-sulfo-omega-hydroxy-, C10-16-alkyl ethers, sodium salts 11.2 C12-C18 fatty acids 0.878 Citric Acid 2.00 DTPA 0.453 Enzymes, stabilizers 1.25 Aziridine, homopolymer, ethoxylated 1.51 Aziridine, polymer with 2-methyloxirane and oxirane 1.32 Brighteners 0.181 Ethanol 1.44 1,2 Propanediol 2.05 Sorbitol 0.0630 Monoethanolamine 2.09 Diethylene glycol 1.93 Sodium hydroxyde 0.676 Anti-foam, aesthetic, dye 0.217 - Fabric treatment compositions ex. 1 and 2 were used to treat fabrics in a full scale washing test (see Methods). Cotton fabrics and polyester fabrics were washed as described in the method section by using the compositions ex. 1 and 2. GC-MS headspace analysis was carried out above wet fabrics. Table 2 reports the total concentration of perfume detected. A higher headspace concentration above wet treated fabrics is indicative of improved perfume deposition and/or release of perfume of said treated fabrics. Table 3 summarizes the single PRM concentrations of highly abundant PRM's in the perfume that was used in ex. 1 and 2.
Table 2: Total headspace PRM concentration above wet cotton and polyester fabrics treated with inventive compositions ex. 2 as compared to fabrics treated with comparative composition 1. Ex.* 1 Ex. 2 Ex.* 1 Ex. 2 Fabric type cotton polyester Concentration [nM] 115 ± 4 149 ± 4 97 ± 8 114 ± 4 - From Table 2 it is clear that tannins led to a higher headspace concentration above treated fabrics. The improvement was the highest on cotton fabrics (+30%). This higher headspace concentration above both cotton (+30%) as well as polyester (+18%) fabrics is indicative of improved deposition and/or release of perfume above treated fabrics.
Table 3: Single PRM headspace concentrations above wet fabrics treated with inventive compositions ex. 2 as compared to fabrics treated with comparative composition 1. Ex.* 1 Ex. 2 Ex.* 1 Ex. 2 Fabric type cotton polyester Concentration [nM] alpha-Terpineol 6.2 ± 0.6 10.6 ± 0.2 5.7 ± 0.5 8.6 ± 0.7 Dihydro myrcenol 7 ± 1 15.7 ± 0.4 2.1 ± 0.1 3.5 ± 0.5 Hexyl cinnamic aldehyde 34 ± 1 38 ± 2 25 ± 3 30 ± 2 Limonene 1.9 ± 0.1 3.7 ± 0.1 5.1 ± 0.3 5.4 ± 0.1 Linalool 3.5 ± 0.5 8.0 ± 0.2 1.8 ± 0.2 2.6 ± 0.2 Verdox 5.9 ± 0.3 11.0 ± 0.4 2.0 ± 0.1 2.2 ± 0.1 - By comparing ex. 1 with ex. 2, it is clear that fabrics treated with ex. 2 according to the present invention resulted consistently in a higher PRM headspace concentration above treated wet fabrics. Overall, the increase was the highest on cotton fabrics.
- Table 4 summarizes the composition of the samples used to treat fabrics according to the full scale washing machine test (see Methods), followed by GC-MS analysis to assess the deposition (see Methods).
