Description

COMPOSITIONS THAT INCLUDE SPECIFIC LIPOLYTIC ENZYME AND ALKYLGLYGLUCOSIDE SURGICAL AGENT TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a specific lipolytic enzyme and an alkylpolyglucoside surfactant.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The inclusion of a lipolytic enzyme (for example lipase) in detergent compositions for a cleaning action is well known eg increased removal of dirt and stains containing triglycerides in the fabrics. Examples are the US patent. 4 »769» 173 Cornelissen et al. »Issued on August 29, 1989; the patent of E.U.A. 5,069,809 »Lagerwaar et al.» Issued on December 3, 1991; PCT application W094 / 0357B and HAPPI (Household &Personal Products Industry) No. 28/1991. In the patent of E.U. 4 »769» 173 »describes a certain class of lipases consisting of fungal lipases» for example from Humicola lanuginosa, together with powerful bleaching agents in detergent compositions. An example of a fungal lipase in this patent is lipase "for example, from Humicola lanuginosa. available from Amano under the trade name of Amano-CE. In the patent of E.U. No. 5,069,809 describes the combination of powerful bleaching agents with a lipase enzyme produced by cloning the gene encoding the lipase produced by Humicola lanuginosa and expressing the Aspergillus orizae gene as a host, for use in detergent compositions. In WO 94/03578 an enzymatic detergent composition containing 10-20,000 LU (lipolytic units) per gram of detergent composition of a lipase showing substantial lipolytic activity during the main cycle of a washing process is described. This lipase is selected in particular for its inactivation behavior with luoros diisopropyl osophyl (DFO). Despite the large number of publications on lipase enzymes. only the lipase derived from the strain DSM 4106 of Humicola lanuginosa and produced in Aspergillus oryzae as host »has hitherto found widespread application as an additive for fabric washing products. It is available from Novo Nordisk under the trade name Lipolase (TM). Gormsen and Malmos describe in HAPPI this enzyme with commercial name "Lipalase" as the first detergent lipase with a commercially relevant cost performance based on the use of recombinant ADM technology on an industrial scale.

In HAPPI it is described that it is the most efficient during the drying step "rather than in the washing procedure itself. During the drying of the fabric »conditions such as water level. they are more favorable for lipolytic hydrolysis than during the actual wash cycle. To optimize the Lipolase stain removal performance »Novo Nordisk has made a number of variants. As described in WO 92/05249, the D96L variant of the native Humicola lanuginosa lipase improves the efficiency of butter spot removal by a factor of 4.4 over the wild-type lipase (enzymes compared in an amount ranging from 0.075 to 2.5 mg of protein per liter). In the Research Description No. 35944 »published on March 10, 1994 by Novo Nordisk» it is described that the lipase variant (D96L) can be added in a sanity corresponding to 0.001-100 mg (5-500,000 LU / l) of lipase variant per liter of washing solution. It is also recognized that lipolytic enzyme deactivation occurs in detergent formulations. The loss of enzyme activity depends among other things on the presence of auxiliary detergent ingredients. One type of auxiliary detergent ingredient are the surfactants. A wide variety of detersive surfactants are known in the literature and in commercial practice. They develop a dual function within the detergent matrix. First" Surfactant molecules reduce the interfacial tension between the dirt and the aqueous phase »so that they gradually remove the dirt from the surface by means of a winding mechanism» and ulylation or solubilization. Anionic surfactants are particularly suitable for this function. In second place »the surfactant molecules keep the dirt in suspension and prevent its redeposition on the surface. The nonionic and anionic alkylglucoside surfactants traditionally serve this purpose. Alkyl polyglucoside surfactants have been described in U.S. Patents. Nos. 3 »598» 865; 3 »721,633 and 3» 772,269. These patents also describe processes for preparing alkylpolyglucoside surfactants and for making liquid detergent compositions containing these surfactants. The U.S. Patent No. 3,219,656 describes alkyl monoglycosides "and suggests their usefulness as foam stabilizers for other surfactants. Various structures of polyglucoside surfactants and methods for preparing them are described in U.S. Pat. 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 co-surfactants in cleaning compositions. The U.S. Patent No. 4,396,520 discloses a detergent composition containing a polysaccharide surfactant and a calcium-sensitive anionic detergent co-surfactant. The U.S. Patent No. 4,565,647 discloses a foaming composition containing an alkylpolysaccharide surfactant and a sulfate-sulfonate and / or carboxylate surfactant. The U.S. Patent No. 4,599,188 discloses a foaming composition containing an alkylpolysaccharide surfactant, a sulfate, sulfonate and / or carboxylate co-surfactant, and an auxiliary amide oxide and / or amine foam backing. The U.S. Patent No. 4,732,070 discloses a detergent composition for manual dishwashing containing an alkyl monoglycoside surfactant "an sulphonic or sulphonate-type anionic surfactant" and a fatty acid alsanolamide. The U.S. Patent No. 4,839,098 discloses a dishwashing detergent composition containing an alkyl polyglycoside surfactant and a dialkylsulfosuccinate. The alkylpolyglucoside surfactants are also described in WO 92/19711, WO 92/08439 »DE 4029035» JP 3 163 198 »JO 3 174 796, EP 216 301» EP 280 143 »W091 / 13096, and W092 / 19711. The general performance of a detergent is judged not only by its ability to remove stains and dirt, for example grease and oil stains, but also by its ability to prevent the redeposition of dirt, or the degradation products of the soils. any insoluble salt »on the washed item. The effects of redeposition result in the articles being covered with an improper film »that appear with stripes or are covered with visible spots that remain intact at the end of the washing process. Therefore »a substantial technical challenge persists in the formulation of detergent compositions to meet the consumer's need for superior overall detergency performance. The above objective has been achieved by means of detergent compositions which include a "ware washing» dishwashing and hard surfaces impregner "containing a specific lipolytic enzyme and an alkylpolyglucoside surfactant. Indeed, it has surprisingly been found that the combination of a specific lipolytic enzyme with an alkylpolyglucoside surfactant improves the overall detergency performance, for example, maintenance of whiteness on fabrics and reduction of staining, film formation or redeposition of fatty substances. and oil on crockery »hard surfaces and the like. It has been found that alkyl polyglycoside surfactants of the type described hereinafter provide a stabilizing function and / or yield of the specific lipolytic enzyme. This finding allows either improved performance or reduction of surfactant / specific lipolytic enzyme levels while maintaining the same detergency action.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a specific lipolytic enzyme and an alkylpolyglucoside surfactant.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Specific Lipolytic Enzyme An essential component of the detergent composition according to the invention is a specific lipolytic enzyme. In the present context, the term "lipolytic enzyme" has the purpose of indicating an enzyme exhibiting a lipid degradation capacity, such as a degradation capacity of a triglyceride, a phospholipid, a wax ester or cutin. The lipolytic enzyme can be »for example» a lipase »a phospholipase. an esterase or a cutinase. The specific lipolytic enzymes suitable for the present invention are those lipolytic enzymes that provide a significantly improved whiteness maintenance action when compared to an identical hydrolytic activity (same amount of LU per liter of wash solution) of the Lipolase ™ enzyme. The significantly improved whiteness maintenance action, as used herein, can be evaluated visually by expert qualifiers using Scheffék's score of panel score units (PSU) of 04 (0 represents no difference) and 4 represents one very big difference). The specific lipolytic enzyme suitable for the present invention is incorporated into the detergent composition according to the invention at a level of 50 LU to 8500 LU per liter of washing solution. Preferably, said lipolytic enzyme is present at a level of 100 LU to 7500 LU per liter of wash solution. Very preferably »at a level of 150 LU to 5000 LU per liter of washing solution. Specific lipolytic enzymes suitable for use herein include those of bacterial and fungal origin. Included herein are lipolytic enzymes of chemically or genetically modified mutants. Preferred lipolytic enzymes include variants of lipolytic enzymes produced by Humicola lanuginosa and Thermomyces lanuginosus »or that are obtained by cloning and expressing the gene responsible for the production of said variants in a host organism» for example »Asper illus oryzae, as described in European patent application 0 258 068 »incorporated herein by reference. Highly preferred lipolytic enzymes are 3 variants of the natural lipase derived from Humicola lanuginosa as described in US Serial No. 0B / 341,826. Preferably the strain DSM 4106 of Humicola lanuginosa is used. An example of such variants is the lipolytic enzyme D96L. By variant of lipolytic enzyme D96L is understood the variant of lipase as described in the patent application WO 92/05249 »where in the natural lipaea of Humicola lanugínosa. the residue of aspartic acid < D) in position 96 has been changed to leucine (L). In accordance with this nomenclature »said substitution of aephalic acid to leucine in position 96 is shown as: D96L. To determine the activity of the enzyme D96L. the standard LU test (analytical method »internal number AF 95/6-GB 1991.02.07 of Novo Nordisk) was used. A substrate for D96L was prepared by emulsifying glycerin tributyrate (Merck) using gum arabic as an emulsifier. The activity of the lipase was tested at pH 7 using the statistical pH method. One unit of lipase activity (LU / g) is defined as the amount needed to release a fatty acid molecule per minute.

Surfactant system The detergent compositions according to the present invention comprise an alkylpolyglucoside surfactant of the formula: R-0-GM wherein R is on average an alkyl of C10 to Ciß "preferably of C13 to C14. G is a portion derived from a reducing saccharide containing from 5 to 6 carbon atoms »preferably a glucose unit and» x is on the average from 1.0 to 3.0 »preferably from approximately 1.1 to 1.5» and represents the average degree of polymerization of the alkylpolysaccharide surfactant. For a particular alkylpolysaccharide molecule, x can only assume integer values. In any physical sample of alkylpolyglucoside surfactants, there will generally be molecules that have different values of x. The physical sample can be characterized by the average value of x. that can assume non-integer values. In the specification "it is understood that the values of x are the average values. The hydrophilic surfactant polysaccharide portion contains from about 1 to about 3, preferably from 1 to about 1.5 saccharide units on average. The saccharide unit can be galactose units »glucoside» lastoside »fructoside. glucosyl »fructosyl» lactosyl and / or galactosyl. Mixtures of these portions of saccharide can be used in the alkylpolysaccharide surfactant. The glucoside is the preferred saccharide moiety. Other portions of saccharide will function in a similar manner, but since the glucoside is the preferred saccharide portion, the rest of the description will focus on the alkylpolyglucoside surfactant. The hydrophobic group on the alkylpolysaccharide is an alkyl group, whether saturated or unsaturated. branched or unbranched »containing from about 10 to about 16 carbon atoms on average. Preferably, the alkyl group is primarily a straight chain alkyl group saturated with C? A to Cx ^.

Any reducing saccharide which contains 5 or 6 carbon atoms can be used, for example, the glucose portions. galactose and galactosyl can substitute the glucosyl moieties (optionally the hydrophobic group is attached at the 2-, 3-, 4-, etc. positions thus giving a glucose or galactose, as opposed to a glucoside or galactoside). The intersaccharide links can be. for example. between position 1 of the additional saccharide units and positions 2- »3-» 4- »and / or 6- on the preceding saccharide units. Preferred alkyl polyglycosides have the formula Ra0 (C "Hßn0) :( glycosyl)? wherein Ra is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkylphenyl, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyalkylphenyl and mixtures thereof. wherein the alkyl groups contain from about 10 to about 18, preferably from about 12 to about 14, carbon atoms; n is 2 or 3, preferably 2; t is from 0 to about 10. preferably O; and x ee from about 1.3 to about 10, preferably about 1.3 to about 3%, most preferably from about 1.3 to about 2.7. The glycosyl is preferably derived from glucose. To prepare these compounds, the alcohol or alkylpolyethoxylated alcohol is first formed, and then reacted with glucose or a glucose source to form the glucoside (linkage at position 1). The additional glycosyl units can then be linked between their position 1 and the preceding glycosyl units in the position 2-3- "4- and / or 6-, preferably predominantly in the 2-position. Said alkylpolyglucoside surfactants are included in the detergent compositions of the present invention at a level of from 0.1 to 10%, preferably from 1 to 6%, preferably from 2 to 5 > 4 in weight of the total composition. The purpose of the dirty fabric washing process is to clean these, ie to remove stains and dirt from dirty garments. However, as soon as the dirt appears in the washing solution, it can be re-deposited on the fabrics that are washed. Especially with white garments, the redeposition of dirt has a strong negative impact on the whiteness of the fabric. In addition »also the brightness and freshness of colored fabrics is reduced by such redeposition. The maintenance of whiteness is the monotopic of the whiteness of the washing cloths and to use during several washing cycles. A good detergent has a good whiteness maintenance profile, that is, it ensures that it is maintained at a high level. the whiteness of fabrics washed during the complete life cycle of use and washing, avoiding so much is possible »the redeposition of dirt removed on white fabrics. It has now surprisingly been found that the incorporation in detergents of the specific lipolytic enzymes with an alkyl polyglycoside surfactant according to the present invention produces a significantly greater benefit in maintaining whiteness action. In addition »under the conditions of hard surface cleaning and tableware care» the use of said specific lipolytic enzymes with an alkyl polyglycoside surfactant »shows a reduction of staining» film formation and / or redeposition of fat and oil substances on tableware , plates »hard surfaces and similar.
