Definitions
- the present invention relates to detergent compositions which comprise a protease. More particularly, the present invention relates to laundry detergent compositions, dishwashing detergent compositions, hard surface cleaning compositions and personal cleansing compositions which comprise a metallo- protease.
- protease enzymes have long been used in laundry detergents to assist in the removal of certain stains from fabrics.
- Each class of enzyme (amylase, protease, lipases, cellulases, etc.) generally catalyze a different chemical reaction.
- protease enzymes are known for their ability to hydrolyze (break down a compound into two or more simpler compounds) other proteins.
- Many food products and other organic materials contain proteins that stain fabric materials, such as clothing.
- proteease enzymes can help remove these stains by breaking down the proteins.
- Naturally occurring or engineered protease enzymes have been added to laundry detergent compositions for this reason.
- Protease enzymes are divided into four groups, serine protease, cysteine protease, aspartic acid protease and metallo-protease.
- serine protease has been investigated for use in detergent compositions for several years
- metallo-protease has not been used in detergent compositions for many reasons. Specifically, the stability and activity of metallo protease in a detergent solution, the effect of chelating agents on the metallo protease were all unknown. Moreover, the effect of metallo-protease on various fabric materials was unknown. Thus, there were too many unknown parameters to ensure satisfactory performance.
- a detergent composition containing a metallo- protease is effective for removing soils, especially protein based stains.
- the present invention relates to detergent compositions which comprise a protease(s). More particularly, the present invention relates to laundry detergent compositions, dishwashing detergent compositions, hard surface cleaning compositions and personal cleansing compositions which comprise a metallo- protease.
- a detergent composition comprising:(1 ) a detersive surfactant; and (2) a metallo-protease.
- the metallo-protease has more than 15AU/mg of caseinolytic activity.
- 80% of the activity of the metallo-protease is inhibited by at least 1 mM of a metallo-protease inhibitor.
- a detergent composition comprising : a) from about 1% to about 60% by weight of a detersive surfactant; b) from about 0% to about 80% by weight of a detergent builder; and c) from about 0.0001% to about 5% by weight of a metallo-protease wherein the metallo-protease has more than 15AU/mg of caseinolytic activity.
- the detergent compositions of the present invention contain metallo-protease enzymes, wherein the metallo- protease shows substantially better performance benefit against protein soils over current protease.
- a pH of the detergent composition solution is neutral to alkaline (pH 7-11 ).
- the metallo-protease has an optimum pH in neutral (6-8), the metallo-protease shows a better cleaning performance than other protease even in the detergent composition of pH 9.
- the metallo-protease has higher specific activity and broader cleavage specificity compared to other proteases. Therefore, even in alkaline solutions, the metallo-protease can show a better cleaning performance than other protease.
- detergent composition or “detergent” is intended to designate any of the agents conventionally used for removing soil, such as general household detergents or laundry detergents of the synthetic or soap type.
- the detergent composition of the present invention contains a metallo- protease.
- the metallo-protease in the detergent composition of the present invention has at least more than 15 AU/mg of caseinolytic activity by the Caseinolytic-test method described in detail below.
- the metallo-protease in the detergent composition of the present invention has preferably a characteristic that more than 80% of the activity of the metallo- protease is inhibited by at least of 1 mM of metallo-protease inhibitors.
- the metallo-protease inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of 1 ,10 phenanthroline, phosphoramidon, or EDTA,.
- the metallo-protease in the detergent composition of the present invention further preferably has more than 70% activity under a condition of pH from about 4.5 to about 9.0 at 20 °C, preferably, from about pH 5 to about 8 and more than 70% activity under a condition of temperature from about 50°C to about 60°C , preferably, from about 50 °C to about 55 °C.

- a calcium ion may be added to the formulation as any forms, but preferably it is added as a salt.
- the salt is selected from the group consisting of calcium chloride, calcium sulphate, calcium nitrate, calcium citrate, formate, acetate, tertate and mixtures thereof. More preferably, the salt is calcium acetate or calcium formate.
- the metallo-protease is inhibited by metallo-protease inhibitors because the metallo-protease has metallic ion at the active center and some metallo-proteases need calcium ion for the stability.
- the metallo-protease inhibitors may combine with metallic ion and/or calcium ion and as a result, the metallo-protease is inhibited by the inhibitors.
- a metallo-protease inhibitor is not limited, but for example, o- phenanthroline, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or phophoramidon.
- the metallo-protease in the detergent composition of the present invention could be derived from a natural resource or recombinant. If the metallo-protease is derived from a natural resource, the natural resource is bacterium preferably Bacillus subtilis (D. Tsuru & T. Yoshimoto, ' Microbial Proteases', Handbook of Microbiology, 2 nd Edition by A.I. Laskin & H.A. Lechevalier, 239-283.

- metallo-protease is, for example, the metallo-protease described in Kobayashi, et al, Agricultural and Biological Chemistry 53(10), page 2737-2750 (1989), or Kobayashi et al, Journal of Biochemistryl 06, page 1110-1113.
- the metallo proteases of the present invention can be characterized by the following description. Although not wanting to be limited by theory, the performance of a protease may be decided by two parameters, one is specific activity (hydrolysis rate) and another is broader cleavage specificity. Specific activity means how fast the protease can cleave a protein substrate. One of the method for measuring specific activity is a Caseinolytic activity test.
- Caseinolytic activity assay method uses casein as a protein substrate and measures the rate of hydrolysis of casein (dimethyl casein, DMC) by the protease and assesses the specific activity.
- caseinolytic activity assay method is performed as follows:
- dimethyl casein DMC, Sigma
- DMC dimethyl casein
- protease solution 5.5 mg/ml of dimethyl casein (DMC, Sigma) was prepared in 0.1 M tris-HCL buffer of pH 7.0 and 0.1 ml of protease solution was mixed with 0.9 ml of this casein solution and the hydrolysis was carried out at 20 °C.
- 4 ml of TCA solution ((0.11 M CCI 3 COOH + 0.22 M CH 3 COONa.3H 2 0 + 0.33 M CH 3 COOH) was added to this enzyme-casein mixture and incubated 30 min at 20°C. Then, the white mixture was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 8-10 min.
- 0.5 ml of the supernatant was transferred to a disposable cuvette and 2.5 ml of 0.5 M Na2C03 was added. After 5-10 min, 0.5 ml of phenol reagent (1 ml Folin Ciocalteu's phenol reagent, Sigma, with 5 ml milli-Q water) was added and incubated at room temperature for 40 min. And then, absorbance at 660 nm was measured against water.
- One Anson unit (AU) of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that increases the absorbance corresponding to 1 micro- mole of tyrosine in 1 minute under the above mentioned measuring conditions.
- the metallo-protease in the detergent composition of the present invention has more than 15 AU/mg, preferably more than 30 AU/mg.
- cleavage specificity means the ability of a protease to cleave the peptide bond after different types of amino acids. For example, if a protease cleaves the peptide bond between Leu-Tyr . This case, cleavage specificity is Leu. Some proteases can cleave several bonds after different amino acids on different proteins.
- One of the method for measuring cleavage specificity is Insulin B-chain fragmentation pattern -test. This method is to use insulin beta- chain as a protein substrate and measure the numbers of sites a protease hydrolyses. For example, Insulin B-chain fragmentation pattern -test method is performed the following:
- the primary cleavage sites are defined as the sites cleaved in the early stage of hydrolysis of insulin B-chain (before hydrolyzing less than 50% of insulin B-chain).
- the following method was used. 1 mg/ml of oxidized insulin B-chain was prepared in 0.1 M tris-HCL buffer of pH 7.0 and incubated at 35 °C for 10 min. Then, 10 microliter of enzyme solution was mixed with the insulin solution to a final concentration of 0.1-0.2 ppm. Just after 3 min of hydrolysis, the reaction was stopped by adding equal volume of 0.1 M HCI. Then, the reaction mixture was analysed by HPLC to measure the fragmented peptides. The identification of the fragmented peptides were performed by measuring the MW by LC/MS.
