Description

DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A CELLULOSE SPECIFIC AND A SURGICAL AGENT OF ALQUILPOLIGLUCOSIDO TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to laundry detergent compositions comprising a specific cellulase and an alkylpolyglucoside surfactant.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The detergent compositions these days include a complex combination of active ingredients that meet certain specific needs: a surfactant system, enzymes that provide cleaning and fabric care benefits, bleaching agents, a builder system, foam suppressants, cleaning agents, suspension of dirt, dirt-releasing agents, optical brighteners, softening agents, dispersants, dye transfer inhibiting compounds, abrasives, bactericides, perfumes; and its overall performance has actually improved over the years. In particular, current detergent formulations generally include detergent enzymes and very specifically cellulases.

The activity of the cellulase is one in which the cellulose fibers or substrates are hydrolyzed by the cellulase and depend on the particular function of the cellulase, which can be endo- or exo-cellulase and the respective hemicellulases. The cellulose structures are depolymerized or cut into smaller fractions and therefore more soluble or dispersible. This particular activity on the fabrics provides a cleaning, rejuvenation, softening and tactile characteristics generally improved to the structure of the fabric. The efficiency of cellulitic enzymes, ie cellulases, has been recognized for some time, in terms of fabric cleaning and hardness reducing agent for fabrics; WO 89/09259, GB-A-2,075,028, GB-A-2,095,275 and GB-A-2,094,826 disclose cellulase detergent compositions for improved cleaning performance; GB-A-1, 368,599 discloses the use of cellulase to reduce the hardness of fabrics containing cotton; U.S. 4,435,307 teaches the use of a cellulite enzyme derived from Humicola insolens, as well as a fraction thereof designated ACX1, as a detergent additive to reduce hardness. EP-A-0 269 168 describes optimized detergent compositions containing cellulase, which are formulated at a mild alkaline ph scale and provide a combined performance of fabric cleaning, fabric softening and fabric care. Specific cellulases suitable for the present invention have been described in WO91 / 17244, wherein single-component enzymes selected for a high specific activity are described and also an enzyme capable of degrading cellulose or hemicellulose is described. Also suitable are cellulolytic enzymes covered in WO95 / 02675 which disclose a detergent composition comprising two cellulase components: a first cellulase component having retention-like activity and which is capable of removal of particulate soils, and a second component of cellulase having several domains comprising at least one non-catalytic domain bound to a catalytic domain and which is capable of color clarification wherein at least one of the cellulase components is an individual component. Said enzymatic detergent composition is capable of providing both sufficient color clarification and removal of particulate soils, which, after a limited number of washing cycles, neither damage nor partially degrade the cellulose-containing fabric. Suitable cellulases are the EGIII cellulases of Trichoderma longibrachiatum described in WO94 / 21801, Genencor, published on September 29, 1994. It is also well recognized that deactivation of cellulase occurs in detergent formulations. The loss of cellulase activity depends among other things on the presence of detergent ingredients attached. One type of detergent ingredient attached are the surfactants.

A wide variety of detersive surfactants are known in the literature and in commercial practice. These perform a double function within the detergent matrix. First, the surfactant molecules reduce the interfacial tension between the dirt phase and the aqueous phase and therefore gradually remove the spot from the surface by means of a rolling, emulsifying or solubilizing mechanism. Anionic surfactants are particularly suitable for this function. Second, the surfactant molecules keep the dirt in suspension and prevent its redeposition on the surface. The nonionic and anionic glucoside surfactants traditionally serve this purpose. In fact, current laundry detergent compositions generally contain a nonionic surfactant and in particular a nonionic surfactant with hydrophilic heads. Various commercially available nonionic surfactants such as alkyl polyglycoside surfactants are structurally similar to the glycosic type of cotton structure, and are believed to increase cleaning performance due to their ability to maintain high viscosity even at low concentrations ( Tenside Surf, Det 28 (1991) 6). Alkyl polyglycoside surfactants have been described in the U.S. Patents. Nos. 3,598,865; 3,721, 633 and 3,772, 269. These patents also describe processes for making alkyl polyglycoside surfactants and making liquid detergent compositions containing these surfactants. The patent of E.U.A. No. 3,219,656 discloses alkyl monoglycosides and suggests their usefulness as foam stabilizers for other surfactants. Various structures of polyglucoside surfactant and methods for making them are described in the U.S.A. Nos. 2,974,134; 3,640,998; 3,839,318; 3,314,936; 3,346,558; 4,011, 389 and 4,223,129. Alkyl polyglycoside surfactants have also been described in combination with various surfactant coagents in cleaning compositions. The patent of E.U.A. No. 4,396,520 discloses a detergent composition containing an alkylpolysaccharide surfactant and a calcium-sensitive anionic detergent surfactant coagent. The patent of E.U.A. No. 4,565,647 discloses a foam-forming composition containing an alkylpolysaccharide surfactant and a co-surfactant of sulfate, sulfonate and / or carboxylate. The patent of E.U.A. No. 4,599,188 discloses a foam-forming composition containing an alkylpolysaccharide surfactant, a sulfate, sulfonate and / or carboxylate surfactant coagent, and an amide oxide and / or amine auxiliary foam enhancer. The patent of E.U.A. No. 4,732,704 discloses a dishwashing detergent composition containing an alkyl monoglycoside surfactant, an anionic sulfate or sulfonate surfactant, and a fatty acid alkanolamide. The patent of E.U.A. No. 4,839,098 discloses a detergent composition for manual dishwashing which contains an alkyl polyglycoside surfactant and a dialkylsulfosuccinate. Alkyl polyglycoside surfactants are also described in WO 92/19711, WO 92/08439, DE 4 029 035, JP 3 163 198, JO 3 174 796, EP 216 301, EP 280 143, WO91 / 13096 and WO 92/19711. In view of the foregoing, there remains a substantial technical challenge in formulating detergent compositions in a manner that satisfies the consumer's need for superior cleaning performance and whiteness benefits. It has now surprisingly been found that alkylpolyglycoside surfactants of the type described hereinafter provide a performance enhancing function for the specific cellulase. This discovery allows for improved performance or a reduction of the specific surfactant / cellulase levels while maintaining the same detergency performance.

Specific cellulases are further characterized by having an optimum pH that varies from 4 to 10 and because they do not have cellulose binding domains (CBD). The term CBD is intended to mean an amino acid sequence capable of effecting an effective binding of the cellulase to a cellulosic substrate.

This endoglucanase can be purified to homogeneity using cation chromatography and has a pl > 9. The calculated pl is based on the composition of the amino acid using the PHKa values of Adv. Protein Chem. 17, p 69-165 (1962) C. Tanford. The molar extinction coefficient is calculated as 58180. Other suitable cellulases are the EGIII of Trichoderma longibrachiatum described in WO94 / 21801, Genencor, published on September 29, 1994. The cellulase that is most preferred for the laundry detergent compositions of the present invention is a cellulose derived from Trichoderma spp, having an average molecular weight between 22 and 27 kDa, an isoelectric point between 7.2, 8.0 and an optimum pH between 5.5 and 6.0 In the present context, the term "homologous" is intended. indicate a polypeptide encoded by DNA that hybridizes with the same probe as the DNA encoding the endoglucanase enzyme with this amino acid sequence under certain specified conditions (such as pre-soaking in 5-fold SSC and pre-hybridization for 1 hour at approximately 40 ° C in a solution of 20% formamide, 5 times Denhardt's solution, 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.8 and 50 μg of calf thymus DNA treated sound and denatured, followed by hybridization in the same solution supplemented with 100 μM ATP for 18 hours at about 40 ° C). The term is intended to include the derivatives of the sequence mentioned above obtained by the addition of one or more amino acid residues to the C- and N-terminal atoms or any of the same of the native sequence, substitution of one or more residues of amino acids at one or more sites in the native sequence, deletion of one or more amino acid residues at both ends of the native amino acid sequence or any of them, or at one or more sites within the native sequence, or one or more amino acid residues at one or more sites in the native sequence. However, for the industrial production of the cellulase preparation of the present it is preferred to employ recombinant DNA techniques or other techniques that include adjustments of fermentations or mutation of the microorganisms involved to ensure the overproduction of the desired enzymatic activities. Such methods and techniques are well known in the art and can be easily carried out by persons skilled in the art. The enzymes mentioned above can have any suitable origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, mycotic and yeast. The origin can also be mesophilic or extremophile (psychrophilic, psychrotrophic, thermophilic, barophilic, alkalophilic, acidophilic, halogenophilic, etc.). Purified or non-purified forms of these enzymes can be used. In these days it is a common practice to modify wild-type enzymes by means of genetic manipulation or protein techniques to optimize their efficiency of performance in the cleaning compositions of the invention. For example, the variants can be designed in such a way that the compatibility of the enzyme with the ingredients of said commonly found compositions is increased. Alternatively, the variant can be designed such that the optimum pH, bleach or chelator stability, catalytic activity and the like of the enzyme variant are designed to conform to the particular cleaning application. In particular, attention should be focused on amino acids sensitive to oxidation in the case of bleach stability and on surface charges for compatibility with the surfactant. The isoelectric point of said enzymes can be modified by the replacement of some charged amino acids, for example, an increase in the isoelectric point could help to improve compatibility with anionic surfactants. The stability of the enzymes can be further increased by the creation of additional salt bridges for example, and by reinforcing the calcium binding sites to increase chelator stability.

In particular, attention should be focused on amino acids sensitive to oxidation in the case of bleach stability and on surface charges for compatibility with the surfactant. The isoelectric point of said enzymes can be modified by the replacement of some charged amino acids, for example, an increase in the isoelectric point could help to improve compatibility with anionic surfactants. The stability of the enzymes can be further increased by the creation of additional salt bridges for example, and by reinforcing the calcium binding sites to increase chelator stability. Particular attention should be paid to cellulases, since most cellulases have separate binding domains (CBD). The properties of said enzymes can be altered by modifications in these domains. s $ i &L *% Said enzymes are normally incorporated in the detergent composition at levels of 0.0001% to 2% active enzyme by weight of the detergent composition. Enzymes can be added as separate individual ingredients (pellets, granules, stabilized liquids, etc ... that contain an enzyme) or as mixtures of two or more enzymes (eg, cogranulates). Other suitable detergent ingredients that can be added are enzyme oxidation scavengers which are described in copending European Patent Application 92970018.6, filed 31 January 1992. Examples of such enzyme oxidation scavengers are ethoxylated tetraethylene you.

These are used at levels of from 0.20% to 5%, most preferably from 0.25% to 2.5% by weight These polymers and the homo- or copolymeric polycarboxylate salts mentioned above are valuable because they improve the maintenance of whiteness, prevent the deposition of ash in the fabric and improve the cleaning performance on soil. clay, proteinaceous and oxidizable acids in the presence of transition metal impurities. The soil release agents useful in the compositions of the present invention are conventionally copolymers or terpolymers of terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol and propylene glycol units in various arrangements. Examples of such polymers are described in the patents of E.U.A. Nos. 4116885 and 4711730 commonly assigned, and in published European patent application No. 0 272 033. A particularly preferred polymer according to EP-A-0 272 033 has the formula: (CH3 (PEG) 43) 0.75 (POH) o.25lT-PO) 2.8 (T-PEG) o.4] - T (POH) o.25 ((PEG) 43CH3) o.75 where PEG is - (OCH2H4) 0-, PO is (OC3H6O) and T is (pcOCe ^ CO).

Also very useful are modified polyesters such as random polymers of dimethyl terephthalate, dimethyl sulfoisophthalate, ethylene glycol and 1-2 propanediol, the end groups consisting primarily of sulfobenzoate and secondarily of monoesters of ethylene glycol and / or propane diol. The objective is to obtain a polymer blocked at both ends by sulfobenzoate groups; "primarily", in the present context, means that the majority of said copolymers herein will be blocked at their ends by sulfobenzoate groups. However, some copolymers will be less than completely blocked and therefore their end groups may consist of monoester of ethyleneglucol and / or propane 1-2 diol, thereof, which consist "secondarily" of said species.

The polyesters and their method of preparation are described in detail in EPA 311 342. It is well known in the art that free chlorine in the tap water rapidly deactivates the enzymes comprised in the detergent compositions. Therefore, using a chlorine scavenger such as perborate, ammonium sulfate, sodium sulfite or polyethyleneimine at a level above 0.1% by weight of the total composition, in the formulas will provide improved stability through the washing of the amylases enzymes. Compositions comprising a chlorine scavenger are described in European Patent Application No. 29870018.6, filed on January 31, 1992. Alkoxylated polycarboxylates such as those prepared from polyacrylates are useful herein to provide additional removal performance of fat.

The lime soap peptizer compound is preferably present at a level of 0% to 20% by weight. A numerical measurement of the effectiveness of a peptizer Lime soap is given by the lime soap dispersion power (LSDP), which is determined using the lime soap dispersant test as described in an article by H.C. Borghetty and C.A. Bergman, J. Am. Oil. Chem. Soc, volume 27, p. 88-90, (1950). This lime soap dispersion test method is widely used by practitioners in this technique at the which is referred to, for example, in the following articles; W.N.
