Description:
A fragrance composition

AREA OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention refers to the area of fragrances and concerns a specific selec tion of fragrances with nitrile structure with improved stability and cosmetic, personal care and detergent compositions comprising them.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] Aromatic nitriles are well known synthetic intermediates for both the chemical in dustry [see March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, Reactions, Mechanisms and Structure, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 2007], and the perfume industry.

[0002] A suitable process for obtaining aromatic nitriles encompasses the use of cyanide sources such as for example CuCN, KCN, NaCN, Zn(CN)2, TMSCN or in the transformation of arylhalogenides into nitriles [see Kim et a!., Angewandte Chemie, Vol. 124, p 12114 ff (2012)].

[0003] Although nitriles form a very prominent group of fragrances providing various differ ent notes they show two serious disadvantages: first, their stability is often poor since they are easily decomposed particularly when stored in transparent bottles and/or at higher temperatures, and second, as a result of decomposition they discolour the final formula tions and provide them a yellowish appearance.

RELEVANT PRIOR ART

[0004] EP 0550762 A1 (KAO) refers to a process for producing a nitrile by heating an aldox- ime in the presence of one or more catalysts selected from hydroxides of alkali metals, al- coholates of alkali metals, hydroxides of alkaline earth metals and alcoholates of alkaline earth metals, and distilling off water formed in the course of the reaction from the reaction system.

[0005] EP 2979682 A1 (SYMRISE) discloses a variety of benzonitriles as coumarin alterna tives such as 3,4-dimethylbenzonitrile, 4(2-methylpropyl)benzonitrile, 3-methylbenzonitrile, 2-methoxybenzonitrile, 3,4-dimethoxybenzonitrile and 4-methoxybenzonitrile in combina tion with various carriers.

[0006] US 4,040,986 (NAARDEN INT) concerns the use of 4-methoxybenzonitrile as a substi tute for coumarin in the manufacture of fragrance compositions or perfumed products. Ac cording to example 1 the composition contains inter alia 4-methoxybenzonitrile and ylang- ylang. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Therefore, it has been the object of the present invention providing fragrances with nitrile structure, particularly fragrances with cinnamon, green and citrus notes, which are stable in oily or aqueous compositions and do not decompose during storage. In particular, those fragrances should avoid any discoloration of said compositions.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] A first object of the present invention refers to a fragrance composition comprising or consisting of at least one nitrile of formula (I)

R-CN (I) in which R represents

(i) a substituted phenyl radical;

(ii) an optionally substituted norbornyl radical;

(iii) an optionally substituted cyclopent(en)yl radical; and/or

(iv) a -(CH 2 ) n -CH=CH 2 radical wherein n represents an integer of from 1 to 10 ; with the exception of the following species: 3,4-dimethylbenzonitrile, 4-(2-methylpropyl)- benzonitrile and 3-methylbenzonitrile.

[0009] Surprisingly it has been found that the specific selection of nitrile fragrances is par ticularly stable in cosmetic compositions, either those product which are oil based as well as on aqueous basis. Intensity of the fragrances remains at a high level even when stored over a period of at least two weeks at temperatures between 20 and 40 °C. Unlike many other fragrances with nitrile structure they do not show any tendency to discolor the composi tions.

NITRILE FRAGRANCES

[0010] The selection of nitriles according to the present invention encompasses the groups

(i) to (iv).

[0011] Group (i) represents nitriles of formula (I) wherein R represents a substituted phenyl radical, which mean that group (i) stand for a number of substituted benzonitriles. The phe nyl radical be substituted with one, two or three substituents R 2 , R 3 or R 4 individually repre senting a C 1 -C 5 alkyl group or a phenyl group. The preferred embodiments of group (i) are:

• 2,3-dimethylbenzonitrile

• 2,4,5-trimethylbenzonitrile

• 4-ethylbenzonitrile • 4-isobutylbenzonitrile

• 4-propylbenzonitrile

• 4-phenylbenzonitrile

[0012] Group (ii) refers to a structure where the nitrile group is attached to a norbornane radical, which may carry further substituents, preferably C1-C5 alkyl, alkoxy or alkoxy alkyl groups. A preferred representative for this group is 3,3-dimethylnorbornane-2-carbonitrile, including all related stereoisomers, as for example the (1R) (2S) (4S) and the (1R) (2R) (4S) product.

[0013] Group (iii) refers to a structure where the nitrile group is attached to a cyclopentyl or cyclopentenyl group, which may also carry further substituents, preferably C1-C5 alkyl, alkoxy or alkoxy alkyl groups. A preferred representative for this group is 2-[3-(methoxy- methyl)-2-2-dimethyl-cyclopent-3-en-l-yl]acetonitrile.

[0014] Finally, Group (iv) refers to a structure where the nitrile follows formula (I) NC-(CH 2 ) n -CH=CH 2 (II) wherein n stands for integers of 1 to 20 and preferably 10 to 15. The preferred species is tridec-12-enenitrile.

SECONDARY FRAGRANCES

[0015] The fragrance compositions accoding to the present invention may comprise addi tional frgrances others than nitriles (hereinafter referred to as "secondary fragrances") in ratios by weight of from about 10:90 to about 90:10, preferably about 25:75 to about 75:25 and more preferably from about 50:60 to about 60:40.

[0016] Said secondary fragrances can be used as single components or in the form of more or less complex mixtures. The species may be obtained from natural sources or prepared by organic synthesis.

[0017] Natural perfumes include the extracts of blossoms (lily, lavender, rose, jasmine, ner- oli, ylang-ylang), stems and leaves (geranium, patchouli, petitgrain), fruits (anise, coriander, caraway, juniper), fruit peel (bergamot, lemon, orange), roots (nutmeg, angelica, celery, cardamom, costus, iris, calmus), woods (pinewood, sandalwood, guaiac wood, cedarwood, rosewood), herbs and grasses (tarragon, lemon grass, sage, thyme), needles and branches (spruce, fir, pine, dwarf pine), resins and balsams (galbanum, elemi, benzoin, myrrh, oliba- num, opoponax). Animal raw materials, for example civet and beaver, may also be used.

[0018] Typically, the synthetic fragrances represent aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, ethers, esters, hydrocarbons their mixtures. In the following these types of fragrances are illustrat ed but not limited by examples: [0019] Aldehydes.

[0040] Polyglycerol esters. Typical examples of suitable polyglycerol esters are Polyglyceryl- 2 Dipolyhydroxystearate (Dehymuls ® PGPH), Polyglycerin-3-Diisostearate (Lameform ® TGI), Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate (Isolan ® Gl 34), Polyglyceryl-3 Oleate, Diisostearoyl Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate (Isolan ® PDI), Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate (Tego Care ® 450), Poly- glyceryl-3 Beeswax (Cera Beilina ® ), Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate (Polyglycerol Caprate T2010/90), Polyglyceryl-3 Cetyl Ether (Chimexane ® NL), Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate (Cremophor ® GS 32) and Polyglyceryl Polyricinoleate (Admul ® WOL 1403), Polyglyceryl Dimerate Isostearate and mixtures thereof.

[0041] Tetraalkyl ammonium salts. Cationically active surfactants comprise the hydropho bic high molecular group required for the surface activity in the cation by dissociation in aqueous solution. A group of important representatives of the cationic surfactants are the tetraalkyl ammonium salts of the general formula: (R 1 R 2 R 3 R 4 N + ) X . Here R1 stands for Ci-Cs alk(en)yl, R 2 , R 3 and R 4 , independently of each other, for alk(en)yl radicals having 1 to 22 carbon atoms. X is a counter ion, preferably selected from the group of the halides, alkyl sulfates and alkyl carbonates. Cationic surfactants, in which the nitrogen group is substitut ed with two long acyl groups and two short alk(en)yl groups, are particularly preferred.

[0042] Esterquats. A further class of cationic surfactants particularly useful as co-surfactants for the present invention is represented by the so-called esterquats. Esterquats are general ly understood to be quaternised fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts. These are known compounds which can be obtained by the relevant methods of preparative organic chemis try. Reference is made in this connection to International patent application WO 91/01295 Al, according to which triethanolamine is partly esterified with fatty acids in the presence of hypophosphorous acid, air is passed through the reaction mixture and the whole is then quaternised with dimethyl sulphate or ethylene oxide. In addition, German patent DE 4308794 Cl describes a process for the production of solid esterquats in which the quater- nisation of triethanolamine esters is carried out in the presence of suitable dispersants, preferably fatty alcohols.

[0043] Typical examples of esterquats suitable for use in accordance with the invention are products of which the acyl component derives from monocarboxylic acids corresponding to formula RCOOH in which RCO is an acyl group containing 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and the amine component is triethanolamine (TEA). Examples of such monocarboxylic acids are ca- proic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid and technical mixtures thereof such as, for example, so- called head-fractionated fatty acid. Esterquats of which the acyl component derives from monocarboxylic acids containing 8 to 10 carbon atoms, are preferably used. Other ester quats are those of which the acyl component derives from dicarboxylic acids like malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, glutaric acid, sorbic acid, pimelic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid and/or dodecanedioic acid, but preferably adipic acid. Overall, esterquats of which the acyl component derives from mixtures of monocarboxylic acids containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms, and adipic acid are preferably used. The molar ratio of mono and dicar boxylic acids in the final esterquat may be in the range from 1:99 to 99:1 and is preferably in the range from 50:50 to 90:10 and more particularly in the range from 70:30 to 80:20. Be sides the quaternised fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts, other suitable esterquats are quaternized ester salts of mono-/dicarboxylic acid mixtures with diethanolalkyamines or 1,2-dihydroxypropyl dialkylamines. The esterquats may be obtained both from fatty acids and from the corresponding triglycerides in admixture with the corresponding dicarboxylic acids. One such process, which is intended to be representative of the relevant prior art, is proposed in European patent EP 0750606 Bl. To produce the quaternised esters, the mix tures of mono- and dicarboxylic acids and the triethanolamine - based on the available car boxyl functions - may be used in a molar ratio of 1.1:1 to 3:1. With the performance proper ties of the esterquats in mind, a ratio of 1.2:1 to 2.2:1 and preferably 1.5:1 to 1.9:1 has proved to be particularly advantageous. The preferred esterquats are technical mixtures of mono-, di- and triesters with an average degree of esterification of 1.5 to 1.9.

[0044] Superfatting agents may be selected from such substances as, for example, lanolin and lecithin and also polyethoxylated or acylated lanolin and lecithin derivatives, polyol fat ty acid esters, monoglycerides and fatty acid alkanolamides, the fatty acid alkanolamides also serving as foam stabilizers.

[0045] The consistency factors mainly used are fatty alcohols or hydroxyfatty alcohols con taining 12 to 22 and preferably 16 to 18 carbon atoms and also partial glycerides, fatty acids or hydroxyfatty acids.

They comprise, for example, as main constituent, a complex zinc salt of ricinoleic acid or specific, largely odour-neutral fragrances which are known to the person skilled in the art as "fixatives", such as, for example, extracts of labdanum or styrax or certain abietic acid derivatives. The odour masking agents are fragrances or perfume oils, which, in addition to their function as odour masking agents, give the deodorants their respective fragrance note. Perfume oils which may be mentioned are, for example, mixtures of natural and synthetic fragrances. Natural fragrances are extracts from flowers, stems and leaves, fruits, fruit peels, roots, woods, herbs and grasses, needles and branches, and resins and balsams. Also suitable are animal products, such as, for example, civet and castoreum. Typical synthetic fragrance compounds are products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol, and hydrocarbon type.

The amounts of cosmetic or dermatological auxiliary agents and additives and perfume to be used in each case can easily be determined by the person skilled in the art by simple trial and error, de pending on the nature of the particular product.

[0091] The preparations can also contain water in a quantity of up to 99 % b.w., preferably 5 to 80 % b.w., based on the total weight of the preparation.

DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS

[0092] Another object of the present invention is directed to detergent compositions com prising the fragrance composition or the fragrance formulation as described above, prefera bly in amounts ranging from about 0.1 to about 5 wt. -percent and more preferably from about 0.5 to about 2 wt. -percent.

[0093] The detergent compositions according to the present invention may comprise any of the ingredients customarily found in such compositions, such as, for example, anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric or zwitterionic (co-)surfactants, organic solvents, builders, enzymes and additional auxiliaries such as soil repellents, thickeners, colorants and fra grances or the like. ANIONIC AND ZWITTERIONIC SURFACTANTS

Suitable anionic and zwitterionic have been illustrated in the context of the cosmetic com positions. These examples also apply for detergents.

NON-IONIC SURFACTANTS

[0094] Alkohol alkoxylates. The added nonionic surfactants are preferably alkoxylated and/or propoxylated, particularly primary alcohols having preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms and an average of 1 to 12 mol ethylene oxide (EO) and/or 1 to 10 mol propylene oxide (PO) per mol alcohol. Cs-Ci 6 -Alcohol alkoxylates, advantageously ethoxylated and/or propoxylat ed Cio-Ci5-alcohol alkoxylates, particularly C12-C14 alcohol alkoxylates, with an ethoxylation degree between 2 and 10, preferably between 3 and 8, and/or a propoxylation degree be tween 1 and 6, preferably between 1.5 and 5, are particularly preferred. The cited degrees of ethoxylation and propoxylation constitute statistical average values that can be a whole or a fractional number for a specific product. Preferred alcohol ethoxylates and propox- ylates have a narrowed homolog distribution (narrow range ethoxylates/propoxylates, NRE/NRP). In addition to these nonionic surfactants, fatty alcohols with more than 12 EO can also be used. Examples of these are (tallow) fatty alcohols with 14 EO, 16 EO, 20 EO, 25 EO, 30 EO or 40 EO.

[0095] Alkylglycosides (APG ® ). Furthermore, as additional nonionic surfactants, alkyl glyco sides that satisfy the general Formula RO(G) x , can be added, e.g., as compounds, particularly with anionic surfactants, in which R means a primary linear or methyl-branched, particularly 2-methyl-branched, aliphatic group containing 8 to 22, preferably 12 to 18 carbon atoms and G stands for a glycose unit containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms, preferably for glucose. The degree of oligomerization x, which defines the distribution of monoglycosides and oligogly- cosides, is any number between 1 and 10, preferably between 1.1 and 1.4.

[0096] Fatty acid ester alkoxylates. Another class of preferred nonionic surfactants, which are used either as the sole nonionic surfactant or in combination with other nonionic surfac tants, in particular, together with alkoxylated fatty alcohols and/or alkyl glycosides, are alkoxylated, preferably ethoxylated or ethoxylated and propoxylated fatty acid alkyl esters preferably containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, more particularly the fatty acid methyl esters which are described, for example, in Japanese Patent Application JP-A- 58/217598 or which are preferably produced by the process described in International Pa tent Application WO-A-90/13533. Methyl esters of C12-C18 fatty acids containing an average of 3 to 15 EO, particularly containing an average of 5 to 12 EO, are particularly preferred.

[0097] Amine oxides. Nonionic surfactants of the amine oxide type, for example, N-coco alkyl-N,N-dimethylamine oxide and N-tallow alkyl-N,N-dihydroxyethylamine oxide, and the fatty acid alkanolamides may also be suitable. The quantity in which these nonionic surfac- tants are used is preferably no more than the quantity in which the ethoxylated fatty alco hols are used and, particularly no more than half that quantity.

[0098] Gemini surfactants. The so-called gemini surfactants can be considered as further surfactants. Generally speaking, such compounds are understood to mean compounds that have two hydrophilic groups and two hydrophobic groups per molecule. As a rule, these groups are separated from one another by a "spacer". The spacer is usually a hydrocarbon chain that is intended to be long enough such that the hydrophilic groups are a sufficient distance apart to be able to act independently of one another. These types of surfactants are generally characterized by an unusually low critical micelle concentration and the ability to strongly reduce the surface tension of water. In exceptional cases, however, not only di meric but also trimeric surfactants are meant by the term gemini surfactants. Suitable gem ini surfactants are, for example, sulfated hydroxy mixed ethers according to German Patent Application DE 4321022 Al or dimer alcohol bis- and trimer alcohol tris sulfates and ether sulfates according to International Patent Application WO 96/23768 Al. Blocked end group dimeric and trimeric mixed ethers according to German Patent Application DE 19513391 Al are especially characterized by their bifunctionality and multifunctionality. Gemini polyhy- droxyfatty acid amides or polyhydroxyfatty acid amides, such as those described in Interna tional Patent Applications WO 95/19953 Al, WO 95/19954 Al and WO 95/19955 Al can also be used.

CATIONIC SURFACTANTS

[0099] Tetraalkyl ammonium salts. Cationically active surfactants comprise the hydropho bic high molecular group required for the surface activity in the cation by dissociation in aqueous solution. A group of important representatives of the cationic surfactants are the tetraalkyl ammonium salts of the general formula: (R 1 R 2 R 3 R 4 N + ) X . Here R1 stands for Ci-Cs alk(en)yl, R 2 , R 3 and R 4 , independently of each other, for alk(en)yl radicals having 1 to 22 carbon atoms. X is a counter ion, preferably selected from the group of the halides, alkyl sulfates and alkyl carbonates. Cationic surfactants, in which the nitrogen group is substitut ed with two long acyl groups and two short alk(en)yl groups, are particularly preferred.

[00100] Esterquats. A further class of cationic surfactants particularly useful as co surfactants for the present invention is represented by the so-called esterquats. Esterquats are generally understood to be quaternised fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts. These are known compounds which can be obtained by the relevant methods of preparative organic chemistry. Reference is made in this connection to International patent application WO 91/01295 Al, according to which triethanolamine is partly esterified with fatty acids in the presence of hypophosphorous acid, air is passed through the reaction mixture and the whole is then quaternised with dimethyl sulphate or ethylene oxide. In addition, German patent DE 4308794 Cl describes a process for the production of solid esterquats in which the quaternisation of triethanolamine esters is carried out in the presence of suitable dis persants, preferably fatty alcohols.

[00101] Typical examples of esterquats suitable for use in accordance with the invention are products of which the acyl component derives from monocarboxylic acids corresponding to formula RCOOH in which RCO is an acyl group containing 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and the amine component is triethanolamine (TEA). Examples of such monocarboxylic acids are ca- proic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid and technical mixtures thereof such as, for example, so- called head-fractionated fatty acid. Esterquats of which the acyl component derives from monocarboxylic acids containing 8 to 10 carbon atoms, are preferably used. Other ester quats are those of which the acyl component derives from dicarboxylic acids like malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, glutaric acid, sorbic acid, pimelic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid and/or dodecanedioic acid, but preferably adipic acid. Overall, esterquats of which the acyl component derives from mixtures of monocarboxylic acids containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms, and adipic acid are preferably used. The molar ratio of mono and dicar boxylic acids in the final esterquat may be in the range from 1:99 to 99:1 and is preferably in the range from 50:50 to 90:10 and more particularly in the range from 70:30 to 80:20. Be sides the quaternised fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts, other suitable esterquats are quaternized ester salts of mono-/dicarboxylic acid mixtures with diethanolalkyamines or 1,2-dihydroxypropyl dialkylamines. The esterquats may be obtained both from fatty acids and from the corresponding triglycerides in admixture with the corresponding dicarboxylic acids. One such process, which is intended to be representative of the relevant prior art, is proposed in European patent EP 0750606 Bl. To produce the quaternised esters, the mix tures of mono- and dicarboxylic acids and the triethanolamine - based on the available car boxyl functions - may be used in a molar ratio of 1.1:1 to 3:1. With the performance proper ties of the esterquats in mind, a ratio of 1.2:1 to 2.2:1 and preferably 1.5:1 to 1.9:1 has proved to be particularly advantageous. The preferred esterquats are technical mixtures of mono-, di- and triesters with an average degree of esterification of 1.5 to 1.9.

AMPHOTERIC SURFACTANTS

[00102] Betaines. Amphoteric or ampholytic surfactants possess a plurality of functional groups that can ionize in aqueous solution and thereby-depending on the conditions of the medium-lend anionic or cationic character to the compounds (see DIN 53900, July 1972). Close to the isoelectric point (around pH 4), the amphoteric surfactants form inner salts, thus becoming poorly soluble or insoluble in water. Amphoteric surfactants are subdivided into ampholytes and betaines, the latter existing as zwitterions in solution. Ampholytes are amphoteric electrolytes, i.e. compounds that possess both acidic as well as basic hydrophilic groups and therefore behave as acids or as bases depending on the conditions. Especially betaines are known surfactants which are mainly produced by carboxyalkylation, preferably carboxymethylation, of amine compounds. The starting materials are preferably condensed with halocarboxylic acids or salts thereof, more particularly sodium chloroacetate, one mole of salt being formed per mole of betaine. The addition of unsaturated carboxylic acids, such as acrylic acid for example, is also possible. Examples of suitable betaines are the carboxy alkylation products of secondary and, in particular, tertiary amines which correspond to formula R 1 R 2 R 3 N-(CH2) q COOX where R 1 is a an alkyl radical having 6 to 22 carbon atoms, R 2 is hydrogen or an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R 3 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, q is a number of 1 to 6 and X is an alkali and/or alkaline earth metal or ammonium. Typical examples are the carboxymethylation products of hexylmethylamine, hexyldimethylamine, octyldimethylamine, decyldimethylamine, Ci2/i4-cocoalkyldimethyl- amine, myristyldimethylamine, cetyldimethylamine, stearyldimethylamine, stearylethyl- methylamine, oleyldimethylamine, Ci6/i8-tallowalkyldimethylamine and their technical mix tures, and particularly dodecyl methylamine, dodecyl dimethylamine, dodecyl ethylmethyl- amine and technical mixtures thereof.

[00103] Alkylamido betaines. Other suitable betaines are the carboxyalkylation products of amidoamines corresponding to formula R 1 CO(R 3 )(R 4 )-NH-(CH 2 ) -N-(CH 2 ) q COOX in which R 1 CO is an aliphatic acyl radical having 6 to 22 carbon atoms and 0 or 1 to 3 double bonds, R 2 is hydrogen or an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R 3 is an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, p is a number from 1 to 6, q is a number from 1 to 3 and X is an alkali and/or alkaline earth metal or ammonium. Typical examples are reaction products of fatty acids having 6 to 22 carbon atoms, like for example caproic acid, caprylic acid, caprinic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmoleic acid, stearic acid, isostearic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, petroselinic acid, linolic acid linoleic acid, elaeostearic acid, arachidonic acid, gadoleic acid, behenic acid, erucic acid and their technical mixtures with N,N-dimethylami- noethylamine, N,N-dimethylaminopropylamine, N,N-diethylaminoethylamine und N,N- diethylaminopropylamine, which are condensed with sodium chloroacetate. The commer cially available products include Dehyton ® K and Dehyton ® PK (Cognis Deutschland GmbH & Co., KG) as well as Tego ® Betaine (Goldschmidt).

[00104] Imidazolines. Other suitable starting materials for the betaines to be used for the purposes of the invention are imidazolines. These substances are also known and may be obtained, for example, by cyclizing condensation of 1 or 2 moles of C6 C22 fatty acids with polyfunctional amines, such as for example aminoethyl ethanolamine (AEEA) or diethylene- triamine. The corresponding carboxyalkylation products are mixtures of different open- chain betaines. Typical examples are condensation products of the above- mentioned fatty acids with AEEA, preferably imidazolines based on lauric acid, which are subsequently be- tainised with sodium chloroacetate. The commercially available products include Dehyton ® G (Cognis Deutschland GmbH & Co., KG)

[00105] The amount of (co-)surfactant comprised in the inventive compositions is advanta geously 0.1 wt. % to 90 wt. %, particularly 10 wt. % to 80 wt. % and particularly preferably 20 wt. % to 70 wt.-%. ORGANIC SOLVENTS

[00106] Liquid light or heavy duty detergents may comprise organic solvents, preferably those miscible with water. Polydiols, ethers, alcohols, ketones, amides and/or esters are preferably used as the organic solvent for this in amounts of 0 to 90 wt. %, preferably 0.1 to 70 wt. %, particularly 0.1 to 60 wt. %. Low molecular weight polar substances, such as for example, methanol, ethanol, propylene carbonate, acetone, acetonylacetone, diacetone alcohol, ethyl acetate, 2-propanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether and dimethylformamide or their mixtures are preferred.

ENZYMES

[00107] Cellulase Enzymes. Cellulase enzymes optionally used in the instant detergent composition are preferably incorporated, when present, at levels sufficient to provide up to about 5 mg by weight, more preferably about 0.01 mg to about 3 mg, of active enzyme per gram of the composition. Unless stated otherwise, the compositions herein preferably com prise from about 0.001% to about 5%, preferably 0.01%-1% by weight of a commercial en zyme preparation.

[00108] The cellulases suitable for the present invention include either bacterial or fungal cellulase. Preferably, they will have a pH optimum of between 5 and 9.5. Suitable cellulases are fungal cellulase produced from Humicola insolens and Humicola strain DSM1800 or a cellulase 212-producing fungus belonging to the genus Aeromonas, and cellulase extracted from the hepatopancreas of a marine mollusk (Dolabella Auricula Solander), suitable cellu lases are also disclosed in GB 2,075,028 A. In addition, cellulase especially suitable for use herein are disclosed in WO 1992 013057 Al. Most preferably, the cellulases used in the in stant detergent compositions are purchased commercially from NOVO Industries A/S under the product names CAREZYMEO and CELLUZYMEO.

[00109] Other Enzymes. Additional enzymes can be included in the detergent compositions herein for a wide variety of fabric laundering purposes, including removal of protein-based, carbohydrate-based, or triglyceride-based stains, for example, and for the prevention of refugee dye transfer, and for fabric restoration. The additional enzymes to be incorporated include proteases, amylases, lipases, and peroxidases, as well as mixtures thereof. Other types of enzymes can also be included. They can be of any suitable origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast origin. However, their choice is governed by several fac tors such as pH-activity and/or stability optima, thermostability, stability versus active de tergents, builders as well as their potential to cause malodors during use. In this respect bacterial or fungal enzymes are preferred, such as bacterial amylases and proteases. [00110] Enzymes are normally incorporated at levels sufficient to provide up to about 5 mg by weight, more typically about 0.01 mg to about 3 mg, of active enzyme per gram of the composition. Stated otherwise, the compositions herein will typically comprise from about 0.001% to about 5%, preferably 0.01%-1% by weight of a commercial enzyme preparation. Protease enzymes are usually present in such commercial preparations at levels sufficient to provide from 0.005 to 0.1 Anson units (All) of activity per gram of composition.

[00111] Suitable examples of proteases are the subtilisins which are obtained from particu lar strains of B. subtilis and B. licheniforms. Another suitable protease is obtained from a strain of Bacillus, having maximum activity throughout the pH range of 8-12, developed and sold by Novo Industries A/S under the registered trade name ESPERASE ® . The preparation of this enzyme and analogous enzymes is described in GB 1,243,784 of Novo. Proteolytic en zymes suitable for removing protein-based stains that are commercially available include those sold under the trade names ALCALASE ® and SAVINASE ® by Novo Industries A/S and MAXATASE ® by International Bio-Synthetics, Inc.. Other proteases include Protease A; Pro tease B and proteases made by Genencor International, Inc., according to US 5,204,015 and US 5,244,791.

[00112] Amylases include, for example, alpha-amylases like RAPIDASE ® , International Bio- Synthetics, Inc. and TERMAMYL ® , Novo Industries.

[00113] Suitable lipase enzymes for detergent usage include those produced by microor ganisms of the Pseudomonas group, such as Pseudomonas stutzeri ATCC 19154. This lipase is available from Amano Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., under the trade name Lipase P "Amano". Other commercial lipases include Amano-CES, lipases ex Chromobacter viscosum, e.g. Chromobacter viscosum var. lipolyticum NRRLB 3673, commercially available from Toyo Jozo Co., and further Chromobacter viscosum lipases from U.S. Biochemical Corp. and Disoynth Co., and lipases ex Pseudomonas gladioli. The LIPOLASE ® enzyme derived from Humicola lanuginosa (commercially available from Novo Industries A/S) is a preferred lipase for use herein.

[00114] Peroxidase enzymes are used in combination with oxygen sources, e.g., percar- bonate, perborate, persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, etc. They are used for "solution bleach ing," i.e. to prevent transfer of dyes or pigments removed from substrates during wash op erations to other substrates in the wash solution. Peroxidase enzymes are known in the art, and include, for example, horseradish peroxidase, ligninase, and haloperoxidase such as chloro- and bromo-peroxidase. Peroxidase-containing detergent compositions are disclosed, for example, in WO 1989099813 Al.

[00115] Enzyme Stabilizers. The enzymes employed herein are stabilized by the presence of water-soluble sources of calcium and/or magnesium ions in the finished detergent composi tions which provide such ions to the enzymes. (Calcium ions are generally somewhat more effective than magnesium ions and are preferred herein if only one type of cation is being used.) Additional stability can be provided by the presence of various other art-disclosed stabilizers, especially borate species, see US 4,537,706, incorporated herein in its entirety. Typical detergents, especially liquids, will comprise from about 1 to about 30, preferably from about 2 to about 20, more preferably from about 5 to about 15, and most preferably from about 8 to about 12, millimoles of calcium ion per liter of finished composition. In solid detergent compositions the formulation can include a sufficient quantity of a water-soluble calcium ion source to provide such amounts in the laundry liquor. In the alternative, natural water hardness can suffice.

[00116] It is to be understood that the foregoing levels of calcium and/or magnesium ions are sufficient to provide enzyme stability. More calcium and/or magnesium ions can be added to the compositions to provide an additional measure of grease removal perfor mance. Accordingly, as a general proposition the compositions herein will typically comprise from about 0.05% to about 2% by weight of a water-soluble source of calcium or magnesi um ions, or both. The amount can vary, of course, with the amount and type of enzyme employed in the composition.

[00117] The compositions herein can also optionally, but preferably, contain various addi tional stabilizers, especially borate-type stabilizers. Typically, such stabilizers will be used at levels in the compositions from about 0.25% to about 10%, preferably from about 0.5% to about 5%, more preferably from about 0.75% to about 3%, by weight of boric acid or other borate compound capable of forming boric acid in the composition (calculated on the basis of boric acid). Boric acid is preferred, although other compounds such as boric oxide, borax and other alkali metal borates (e.g., sodium ortho-, meta- and pyroborate, and sodium pen- taborate) are suitable. Substituted boric acids (e.g., phenylboronic acid, butane boronic ac id, and p-bromo phenylboronic acid) can also be used in place of boric acid.

BUILDERS

[00118] Zeolites. Fine crystalline, synthetic zeolites containing bound water can be used as builders, for example, preferably zeolite A and/or P. Zeolite MAP.RTM. (commercial product of the Crosfield company), is particularly preferred as the zeolite P. However, zeolite X and mixtures of A, X, Y and/or P are also suitable. A co-crystallized sodium/potassium aluminum silicate from Zeolite A and Zeolite X, which is available as Vegobond ® RX. (commercial prod uct from Condea Augusta S.p.A.), is also of particular interest. Preferably, the zeolite can be used as a spray-dried powder. For the case where the zeolite is added as a suspension, this can comprise small amounts of nonionic surfactants as stabilizers, for example, 1 to 3 wt. %, based on the zeolite, of ethoxylated C12-C18 fatty alcohols with 2 to 5 ethylene oxide groups, C12-C14 fatty alcohols with 4 to 5 ethylene oxide groups or ethoxylated isotridecanols. Suita ble zeolites have an average particle size of less than lOpm (test method: volumetric distri bution Coulter counter) and preferably comprise 18 to 22 wt. %, particularly 20 to 22 wt. % of bound water. Apart from this, phosphates can also be used as builders. [00119] Layered silicates. Suitable substitutes or partial substitutes for phosphates and zeo lites are crystalline, layered sodium silicates. These types of crystalline layered silicates are described, for example, in European Patent Application EP 0164514 Al. Preferred crystalline layered silicates are those obtained for example, from the process described in International Patent Application WO 91/08171 Al.

[00120] Amorphous silicates. Preferred builders also include amorphous sodium silicates with a modulus (Na20:Si02 ratio) of 1:2 to 1:3.3, preferably 1:2 to 1:2.8 and more preferably 1:2 to 1:2.6, which dissolve with a delay and exhibit multiple wash cycle properties. The de lay in dissolution compared with conventional amorphous sodium silicates can have been obtained in various ways, for example, by surface treatment, compounding, compress ing/compacting or by over-drying. In the context of this invention, the term "amorphous" also means "X-ray amorphous". In other words, the silicates do not produce any of the sharp X-ray reflexions typical of crystalline substances in X-ray diffraction experiments, but at best one or more maxima of the scattered X-radiation, which have a width of several degrees of the diffraction angle. However, particularly good builder properties may even be achieved where the silicate particles produce indistinct or even sharp diffraction maxima in electron diffraction experiments. This is to be interpreted to mean that the products have microcrys talline regions between 10 and a few hundred nm in size, values of up to at most 50 nm and especially up to at most 20 nm being preferred. This type of X-ray amorphous silicates, which similarly possess a delayed dissolution in comparison with the customary water glass es, are described, for example, in German Patent Application DE 4400024 Al. Compact- ed/densified amorphous silicates, compounded amorphous silicates and over dried X-ray- amorphous silicates are particularly preferred.

[00121] Phosphates. Also the generally known phosphates can also be added as builders, in so far that their use should not be avoided on ecological grounds. The sodium salts of the orthophosphates, the pyrophosphates and especially the tripolyphosphates are particularly suitable. Their content is generally not more than 25 wt. %, preferably not more than 20 wt. %, each based on the finished composition. In some cases it has been shown that particular ly tripolyphosphates, already in low amounts up to maximum 10 wt. %, based on the fin ished composition, in combination with other builders, lead to a synergistic improvement of the secondary washing power. Preferred amounts of phosphates are under 10 wt. %, partic ularly 0 wt. %.

CO-BUILDERS

[00122] Polycarboxylic acids. Useful organic cobuilders are, for example, the polycarboxylic acids usable in the form of their sodium salts of polycarboxylic acids, wherein polycarboxylic acids are understood to be carboxylic acids that carry more than one acid function. These include, for example, citric acid, adipic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, sugar acids, aminocarboxylic acids, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and its derivatives and mixtures thereof. Preferred salts are the salts of polycarboxylic acids such as citric acid, adipic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, tartaric acid, sugar acids and mix tures thereof.

[00123] Organic acids. Acids per se can also be used. Besides their building effect, the acids also typically have the property of an acidifying component and, hence also serve to estab lish a relatively low and mild pH in detergents or cleansing compositions. Citric acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, gluconic acid and any mixtures thereof are particularly men tioned in this regard. Further suitable acidifiers are the known pH regulators such as sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium hydrogen sulfate.

[00124] Polymers. Particularly suitable polymeric cobuilders are polyacrylates, which pref erably have a molecular weight of 2,000 to 20,000 g/mol. By virtue of their superior solubili ty, preferred representatives of this group are again the short -chain polyacrylates, which have molecular weights of 2,000 to 10,000 g/mol and, more particularly, 3,000 to 5,000 g/mol. Suitable polymers can also include substances that consist partially or totally of vinyl alcohol units or its derivatives.

[00125] Further suitable copolymeric polycarboxylates are particularly those of acrylic acid with methacrylic acid and of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with maleic acid. Copolymers of acrylic acid with maleic acid, which comprise 50 to 90 wt. % acrylic acid and 50 to 10 wt. % maleic acid, have proven to be particularly suitable. Their relative molecular weight, based on free acids, generally ranges from 2,000 to 70,000 g/mol, preferably 20,000 to 50,000 g/mol and especially 30,000 to 40,000 g/mol. The (co)polymeric polycarboxylates can be added either as an aqueous solution or preferably as powder. In order to improve the water solubility, the polymers can also comprise allylsulfonic acids as monomers, such as, for ex ample, allyloxybenzene sulfonic acid and methallyl sulfonic acid as in the EP 0727448 Bl.

[00126] Biodegradable polymers comprising more than two different monomer units are particularly preferred, examples being those comprising, as monomers, salts of acrylic acid and of maleic acid, and also vinyl alcohol or vinyl alcohol derivatives, as in DE 4300772 Al, or those comprising, as monomers, salts of acrylic acid and of 2-alkyla llyl sulfonic acid, and also sugar derivatives. Further preferred copolymers are those that are described in German Patent Applications DE 4303320 Al and DE 4417734 Al and preferably include acrolein and acrylic acid/acrylic acid salts or acrolein and vinyl acetate as monomers.

[00127] Similarly, other preferred builders are polymeric aminodicarboxylic acids, salts or precursors thereof. Those polyaspartic acids or their salts and derivatives disclosed in Ger man Patent Application DE 19540086 Al as having a bleach-stabilizing action in addition to cobuilder properties are particularly preferred.

[00128] Further suitable builders are polyacetals that can be obtained by treating dialde hydes with polyol carboxylic acids that possess 5 to 7 carbon atoms and at least 3 hydroxyl groups, as described in European Patent Application EP 0280223 Al. Preferred polyacetals are obtained from dialdehydes like glyoxal, glutaraldehyde, terephthalaldehyde as well as their mixtures and from polycarboxylic acids like gluconic acid and/or glucoheptonic acid.

[00129] Carbohydrates. Further suitable organic cobuilders are dextrins, for example, oli gomers or polymers of carbohydrates that can be obtained by the partial hydrolysis of starches. The hydrolysis can be carried out using typical processes, for example, acidic or enzymatic catalyzed processes. The hydrolysis products preferably have average molecular weights in the range of 400 to 500,000 g/mol. A polysaccharide with a dextrose equivalent (DE) of 0.5 to 40 and, more particularly, 2 to 30 is preferred, the DE being an accepted measure of the reducing effect of a polysaccharide in comparison with dextrose, which has a DE of 100. Both maltodextrins with a DE between 3 and 20 and dry glucose syrups with a DE between 20 and 37 and also so-called yellow dextrins and white dextrins with relatively high molecular weights of 2,000 to 30,000 g/mol may be used. A preferred dextrin is described in British Patent Application 94 19 091.

[00130] The oxidized derivatives of such dextrins concern their reaction products with oxi dizing compositions that are capable of oxidizing at least one alcohol function of the saccha ride ring to the carboxylic acid function. Such oxidized dextrins and processes for their man ufacture are known for example, from European Patent Applications EP 0232202 Al. A product oxidized at C6 of the saccharide ring can be particularly advantageous.

[00131] Oxydisuccinates and other derivatives of disuccinates, preferably ethylenediamine disuccinate are also further suitable cobuilders. Here, ethylene diamine-N,N'-disuccinate (EDDS), the synthesis of which is described for example, in US 3,158,615, is preferably used in the form of its sodium or magnesium salts. In this context, glycerine disuccinates and glycerine trisuccinates are also particularly preferred, such as those described in US 4,524,009. Suitable addition quantities in zeolite-containing and/or silicate-containing for mulations range from 3 to 15% by weight.

[00132] (Lactones. Other useful organic co-builders are, for example, acetylated hy- droxycarboxylic acids and salts thereof which optionally may also be present in lactone form and which contain at least 4 carbon atoms, at least one hydroxyl group and at most two acid groups. Such cobuilders are described, for example, in International Patent Application WO

1995020029 Al.

BLEACHING COMPOUNDS, BLEACHING AGENTS AND BLEACH ACTIVATORS

[00133] The detergent compositions herein can optionally contain bleaching agents or bleaching compositions containing a bleaching agent and one or more bleach activators. When present, bleaching agents will typically be at levels of from about 1% to about 30%, more typically from about 5% to about 20%, of the detergent composition, especially for fabric laundering. If present, the amount of bleach activators will typically be from about 0.1% to about 60%, more typically from about 0.5% to about 40% of the bleaching composi tion comprising the bleaching agent-plus-bleach activator. [00134] The bleaching agents used herein can be any of the bleaching agents useful for de tergent compositions in textile cleaning, hard surface cleaning, or other cleaning purposes that are now known or become known. These include oxygen bleaches as well as other bleaching agents. Perborate bleaches, e.g., sodium perborate (e.g., mono- or tetra-hydrate) can be used herein.

[00135] Another category of bleaching agent that can be used without restriction encom passes percarboxylic acid bleaching agents and salts thereof. Suitable examples of this class of agents include magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate, the magnesium salt of meta-chloro perbenzoic acid, 4-nonylamino-4-oxoperoxybutyric acid and diperoxydodeca- nedioic acid.

[00136] Peroxygen bleaching agents can also be used. Suitable peroxygen bleaching com pounds include sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate and equivalent "percarbonate" bleaches, sodium pyrophosphate peroxyhydrate, urea peroxyhydrate, and sodium peroxide.

[00139] Peroxygen bleaching agents, the perborates, the percarbonates, etc., are prefera bly combined with bleach activators, which lead to the in situ production in aqueous solu tion (i.e., during the washing process) of the peroxy acid corresponding to the bleach activa tor. The nonanoyloxybenzene sulfonate (NOBS) and tetraacetyl ethylene diamine (TAED) activators are typical, and mixtures thereof can also be used.

[00140] Preferred amido-derived bleach activators include (6-octanamido-caproyl)oxyben- zene-sulfonate, (6-nonanamidocaproyl)oxybenzenesulfonate, (6-decanamido-caproyl)- oxyben-zenesulfonate, and mixtures thereof.

[00143] Bleaching agents other than oxygen bleaching agents are also known in the art and can be utilized herein. One type of non-oxygen bleaching agent of particular interest in cludes photoactivated bleaching agents such as the sulfonated zinc and/or aluminum phthalocyanines. If used, detergent compositions will typically contain from about 0.025% to about 1.25%, by weight, of such bleaches, especially sulfonate zinc phthalocyanine.

[00144] If desired, the bleaching compounds can be catalyzed by means of a manganese compound. Such manganese-based catalysts are well known in the art and include Mn IV 2 (u- 0)3 (l,4,7-trimethyl-l,4,7-triazacyclononane)2 (PFe , Mn IM 2 (u-O)i (u-OAc)2 (1,4,7-trimethyl-

1.4.7-triazacyclononane)-(OCH3)3(PF6), and mixtures thereof.

[00145] As a practical matter, and not by way of limitation, the compositions and processes herein can be adjusted to provide on the order of at least one part per ten million of the active bleach catalyst species in the aqueous washing liquor, and will preferably provide from about 0.1 ppm to about 700 ppm, more preferably from about 1 ppm to about 500 ppm, of the catalyst species in the laundry liquor.

POLYMERIC SOIL RELEASE AGENTS

[00146] Any polymeric soil release agent known to those skilled in the art can optionally be employed in the detergent compositions and processes of this invention. Polymeric soil re lease agents are characterized by having both hydrophilic segments, to hydrophilize the surface of hydrophobic fibers, such as polyester and nylon, and hydrophobic segments, to deposit upon hydrophobic fibers and remain adhered thereto through completion of wash ing and rinsing cycles and, thus, serve as an anchor for the hydrophilic segments. This can enable stains occurring subsequent to treatment with the soil release agent to be more easily cleaned in later washing procedures.

[00147] The polymeric soil release agents useful herein especially include those soil release agents having: (a) one or more nonionic hydrophile components consisting essentially of (i) polyoxyethylene segments with a degree of polymerization of at least 2, or (ii) oxypropylene or polyoxypropylene segments with a degree of polymerization of from 2 to 10, wherein said hydrophile segment does not encompass any oxypropylene unit unless it is bonded to adjacent moieties at each end by ether linkages, or (iii) a mixture of oxyalkylene units com prising oxyethylene and from 1 to about 30 oxypropylene units wherein said mixture con tains a sufficient amount of oxyethylene units such that the hydrophile component has hy- drophilicity great enough to increase the hydrophilicity of conventional polyester synthetic fiber surfaces upon deposit of the soil release agent on such surface, said hydrophile seg ments preferably comprising at least about 25% oxyethylene units and more preferably, especially for such components having about 20 to 30 oxypropylene units, at least about 50% oxyethylene units; or (b) one or more hydrophobe components comprising (i) C3 oxy- alkylene terephthalate segments, wherein, if said hydrophobe components also comprise oxyethylene terephthalate, the ratio of oxyethylene terephthalate: C 3 oxyalkylene tereph thalate units is about 2:1 or lower, (ii) C 4 - C 6 alkylene or oxy C 4 - C 6 alkylene segments, or mixtures therein, (iii) poly (vinyl ester) segments, preferably polyvinyl acetate), having a degree of polymerization of at least 2, or (iv) Ci - C 4 alkyl ether or C 4 hydroxyalkyl ether sub stituents, or mixtures therein, wherein said substituents are present in the form of Ci - C 4 alkyl ether or C 4 hydroxyalkyl ether cellulose derivatives, or mixtures therein, and such cellu lose derivatives are amphiphilic, whereby they have a sufficient level of Ci - C 4 alkyl ether and/or C 4 hydroxyalkyl ether units to deposit upon conventional polyester synthetic fiber surfaces and retain a sufficient level of hydroxyls, once adhered to such conventional syn thetic fiber surface, to increase fiber surface hydrophilicity, or a combination of (a) and (b).

[00148] Typically, the polyoxyethylene segments of (a) (i) will have a degree of polymeriza tion of from about 200, although higher levels can be used, preferably from 3 to about 150, more preferably from 6 to about 100. Suitable oxy C 4 - C 6 alkylene hydrophobe segments include, but are not limited to, end-caps of polymeric soil release agents.

[00149] Polymeric soil release agents useful in the present invention also include cellulosic derivatives such as hydroxyether cellulosic polymers, copolymeric blocks of ethylene ter ephthalate or propylene terephthalate with polyethylene oxide or polypropylene oxide ter ephthalate, and the like. Such agents are commercially available and include hydroxyethers of cellulose such as METHOCEL ® (Dow). Cellulosic soil release agents for use herein also in clude those selected from the group consisting of Ci - C 4 alkyl and C 4 hydroxyalkyl cellulose.

[00150] Soil release agents characterized by poly(vinyl ester) hydrophobe segments include graft copolymers of poly(vinyl ester), e.g., Ci - C 6 vinyl esters, preferably poly(vinyl acetate) grafted onto polyalkylene oxide backbones, such as polyethylene oxide backbones, see EP 0 219 048, incorporated herein in its entirety. Commercially available soil release agents of this kind include the SOKALAN ® type of material, e.g., SOKALAN ® HP-22, available from BASF.

[00151] One type of preferred soil release agent is a copolymer having random blocks of ethylene terephthalate and polyethylene oxide (PEO) terephthalate. The molecular weight of this polymeric soil release agent preferably is in the range of from about 25,000 to about 55,000.

[00152] Another preferred polymeric soil release agent is a polyester with repeat units of ethylene terephthalate units contains 10-15% by weight of ethylene terephthalate units together with 90-80% by weight of polyoxyethylene terephthalate units, derived from a polyoxyethylene glycol of average molecular weight 300-5,000. Examples of this polymer include the commercially available material ZELCON ® 5126 (from DuPont) and MILEASE ® T (from ICI).

[00153] Another preferred polymeric soil release agent is a sulfonated product of a sub stantially linear ester oligomer comprised of an oligomeric ester backbone of terephthaloyl and oxyalkyleneoxy repeat units and terminal moieties covalently attached to the back bone. These soil release agents are described fully in US 4,968,451. Other suitable polymeric soil release agents include the terephthalate polyesters of US 4,711,730, the anionic end- capped oligomeric esters of US 4,721,580, the block polyester oligomeric compounds of US 4,702,857, and anionic, especially sulfoaroyl, end-capped terephthalate esters of US 4,877,896 all cited patents incorporated herein in their entirety.

[00154] Still another preferred soil release agent is an oligomer with repeat units of tereph- thaloyl units, sulfoisoterephthaloyl units, oxyethyleneoxy and oxy-1, 2-propylene units. The repeat units form the backbone of the oligomer and are preferably terminated with modi fied isethionate end-caps. A particularly preferred soil release agent of this type comprises about one sulfoisophthaloyl unit, 5 terephthaloyl units, oxyethyleneoxy and oxy-1, 2- propyleneoxy units in a ratio of from about 1.7 to about 1.8, and two end-cap units of sodi um 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-ethanesulfonate. Said soil release agent also comprises from about 0.5% to about 20%, by weight of the oligomer, of a crystalline-reducing stabilizer, preferably selected from the group consisting of xylene sulfonate, cumene sulfonate, toluene sul fonate, and mixtures thereof.

[00155] If utilized, soil release agents will generally comprise from about 0.01% to about 10.0%, by weight, of the detergent compositions herein, typically from about 0.1% to about 5%, preferably from about 0.2% to about 3.0%.

POLYMERIC DISPERSING AGENTS

[00156] Polymeric dispersing agents can advantageously be utilized at levels from about 0.1% to about 7%, by weight, in the detergent compositions herein, especially in the pres ence of zeolite and/or layered silicate builders. Suitable polymeric dispersing agents include polymeric polycarboxylates and polyethylene glycols, although others known in the art can also be used. It is believed, though it is not intended to be limited by theory, that polymeric dispersing agents enhance overall detergent builder performance, when used in combina tion with other builders (including lower molecular weight polycarboxylates) by crystal growth inhibition, particulate soil release peptization, and anti-redeposition.

[00157] Polymeric polycarboxylate materials can be prepared by polymerizing or copoly merizing suitable unsaturated monomers, preferably in their acid form. Unsaturated mon omeric acids that can be polymerized to form suitable polymeric polycarboxylates include acrylic acid, maleic acid (or maleic anhydride), fumaric acid, itaconic acid, aconitic acid, mesaconic acid, citraconic acid and methylenemalonic acid. The presence in the polymeric polycarboxylates herein or monomeric segments, containing no carboxylate radicals such as vinylmethyl ether, styrene, ethylene, etc. is suitable provided that such segments do not constitute more than about 40% by weight.

[00158] Particularly suitable polymeric polycarboxylates can be derived from acrylic acid. Such acrylic acid-based polymers which are useful herein are the water-soluble salts of pol- ymerized acrylic acid. The average molecular weight of such polymers in the acid form pref erably ranges from about 2,000 to 10,000, more preferably from about 4,000 to 7,000 and most preferably from about 4,000 to 5,000. Water-soluble salts of such acrylic acid poly mers can include, for example, the alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts. Soluble polymers of this type are known materials. Use of polyacrylates of this type in detergent compositions has been disclosed, for example US 3,308,067.

[00159] Acrylic/maleic-based copolymers can also be used as a preferred component of the dispersing/anti-redeposition agent. Such materials include the water-soluble salts of copol ymers of acrylic acid and maleic acid. The average molecular weight of such copolymers in the acid form preferably ranges from about 2,000 to 100,000, more preferably from about 5,000 to 75,000, most preferably from about 7,000 to 65,000. The ratio of acrylate to male- ate segments in such copolymers will generally range from about 30:1 to about 1:1, more preferably from about 10:1 to 2:1. Water-soluble salts of such acrylic acid/maleic acid co polymers can include, for example, the alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts. Soluble acrylate/maleate copolymers of this type are known materials which are de scribed in EP 0193360 Al, which also describes such polymers comprising hydroxypropy- lacrylate. Still other useful dispersing agents include the maleic/acrylic/vinyl alcohol terpol- ymers, for example, a 45/45/10 terpolymer of acrylic/maleic/vinyl alcohol.

[00160] Another polymeric material which can be included is polyethylene glycol (PEG). PEG can exhibit dispersing agent performance as well as act as a clay soil removal- antiredeposition agent. Typical molecular weight ranges for these purposes range from about 500 to about 100,000, preferably from about 1,000 to about 50,000, more preferably from about 1,500 to about 10,000.

[00161] Polyaspartate and polyglutamate dispersing agents can also be used, especially in conjunction with zeolite builders. Dispersing agents such as polyaspartate preferably have a molecular weight (avg.) of about 10,000.

FOAM INHIBITORS/SUD SUPRESSORS

[00162] Especially when used in automatic washing processes, it can be advantageous to add conventional foam inhibitors to the compositions. Suitable foam inhibitors include for example, soaps of natural or synthetic origin, which have a high content of C18-C24 fatty ac ids. Suitable non-surface-active types of foam inhibitors are, for example, organopolysilox- anes and mixtures thereof with microfine, optionally silanised silica and also paraffins, wax es, microcrystalline waxes and mixtures thereof with silanised silica or bis-stearyl ethylene- diamide. Mixtures of various foam inhibitors, for example, mixtures of silicones, paraffins or waxes, are also used with advantage. Preferably, the foam inhibitors, especially silicone- containing and/or paraffin-containing foam inhibitors, are loaded onto a granular, water- soluble or dispersible carrier material. Especially in this case, mixtures of paraffins and bis- stearylethylene diamides are preferred. [00163] Compounds for reducing or suppressing the formation of suds can be incorporated into the detergent compositions of the present invention. Suds suppression can be of par ticular importance in the so-called "high concentration cleaning process" and in front loading European-style washing machines.

[00164] A wide variety of materials can be used as suds suppressors, and suds suppressors are well known to those skilled in the art. See, for example, Kirk Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Third Edition, Volume 7, pages 430-447 (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1979). One category of suds suppressor of particular interest encompasses monocarboxylic fatty acid and soluble salts therein. The monocarboxylic fatty acids and salts thereof used as suds suppressor typically have hydrocarbyl chains of 10 to about 24 carbon atoms, prefera bly 12 to 18 carbon atoms. Suitable salts include the alkali metal salts such as sodium, po tassium, and lithium salts, and ammonium and alkanolammonium salts.

[00165] The detergent compositions herein can also contain non-surfactant suds suppres sors. These include, for example: high molecular weight hydrocarbons such as paraffin, fatty acid esters (e.g., fatty acid triglycerides), fatty acid esters of monovalent alcohols, aliphatic Ci 8 - C40 ketones (e.g., stearone), etc. Other suds inhibitors include N-alkylated amino tria- zines such as tri- to hexa-alkylmelamines or di- to tetra-alkyldiamine chlortriazines formed as products of cyanuric chloride with two or three moles of a primary or secondary amine containing 1 to 24 carbon atoms, propylene oxide, and monostearyl phosphates such as monostearyl alcohol phosphate ester and monostearyl di-alkali metal (e.g., K, Na, and Li) phosphates and phosphate esters. The hydrocarbons such as paraffin and haloparaffin can be utilized in liquid form. The liquid hydrocarbons will be liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and will have a pour point in the range of about -40°C and about 50°C, and a minimum boiling point not less than about 110°C (atmospheric pressure). It is also known to utilize waxy hydrocarbons, preferably having a melting point below about 100°C. Hydrocarbon suds suppressors are known in the art and include aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic, and heterocyclic saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons having from about 12 to about 70 carbon atoms. The term "paraffin," as used in this suds suppressor discussion, is intended to include mixtures of true paraffins and cyclic hydrocarbons.

[00166] Another preferred category of non-surfactant suds suppressors comprises silicone suds suppressors. This category includes the use of polyorganosiloxane oils, such as polydi- methylsiloxane, dispersions or emulsions of polyorganosiloxane oils or resins, and combina tions of polyorganosiloxane with silica particles wherein the polyorganosiloxane is chemi sorbed or fused onto the silica. Silicone suds suppressors are well known in the art.

[00167] Other silicone suds suppressors are disclosed in US 3,455,839, incorporated herein in its entirety, which relates to compositions and processes for defoaming aqueous solu tions by incorporating therein small amounts of polydimethylsiloxane fluids.

[00168] Mixtures of silicone and silanated silica are described, for instance, in DE-OS 2124526, incorporated herein in its entirety. Silicone defoamers and suds controlling agents in granular detergent compositions are disclosed in US 4,652,392, incorporated herein in its entirety.

[00169] In the preferred silicone suds suppressor used herein, the solvent for a continuous phase is made up of certain polyethylene glycols or polyethylene-polypropylene glycol co polymers or mixtures thereof (preferred), or polypropylene glycol. The primary silicone suds suppressor is branched/crosslinked and preferably not linear.

[00170] The silicone suds suppressor herein preferably comprises polyethylene glycol and a copolymer of polyethylene glycol/polypropylene glycol, all having an average molecular weight of less than about 1,000, preferably between about 100 and 800. The polyethylene glycol and polyethylene/polypropylene copolymers herein have a solubility in water at room temperature of more than about 2 weight %, preferably more than about 5 weight %.

[00171] The preferred solvent herein is polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of less than about 1,000, more preferably between about 100 and 800, most prefer ably between 200 and 400, and a copolymer of polyethylene glycol/polypropylene glycol, preferably PPG 200/PEG 300. Preferred is a weight ratio of between about 1:1 and 1:10, most preferably between 1:3 and 1:6, of polyethylene glycohcopolymer of polyethylene- polypropylene glycol.

[00172] The preferred silicone suds suppressors used herein do not contain polypropylene glycol, particularly of 4,000 molecular weight. They also preferably do not contain block co polymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, like PLURONIC ® L101.

[00173] Other suds suppressors useful herein comprise the secondary alcohols (e.g., 2-alkyl alkanols) and mixtures of such alcohols with silicone oils. The secondary alcohols include the C 6 - Ci 6 alkyl alcohols having a Ci - Ci 6 chain. A preferred alcohol is 2-butyl octanol, which is available from Condea under the trademark ISOFOL ® 12. Mixtures of secondary alcohols are available under the trademark ISALCHEM ® 123 from Enichem. Mixed suds suppressors typi cally comprise mixtures of alcohol+silicone at a weight ratio of 1:5 to 5:1.

[00174] The compositions herein will generally comprise from 0% to about 5% of suds sup pressor. When utilized as suds suppressors, monocarboxylic fatty acids, and salts therein, will be present typically in amounts up to about 5%, by weight, of the detergent composi tion. Preferably, from about 0.5% to about 3% of fatty monocarboxylate suds suppressor is utilized. Silicone suds suppressors are typically utilized in amounts up to about 2.0%, by weight, of the detergent composition, although higher amounts can be used. This upper limit is practical in nature, due primarily to concern with keeping costs minimized and effec tiveness of lower amounts for effectively controlling sudsing. Preferably from about 0.01% to about 1% of silicone suds suppressor is used, more preferably from about 0.25% to about 0.5%. As used herein, these weight percentage values include any silica that can be utilized in combination with polyorganosiloxane, as well as any adjunct materials that can be uti lized. Monostearyl phosphate suds suppressors are generally utilized in amounts ranging from about 0.1% to about 2%, by weight, of the composition. Hydrocarbon suds suppressors are typically utilized in amounts ranging from about 0.01% to about 5.0%, although higher levels can be used. The alcohol suds suppressors are typically used at 0.2%-3% by weight of the finished compositions.

SEQUESTRANTS AND CHELATING AGENTS

[00175] The salts of polyphosphonic acid can be considered as sequestrants or as stabi lizers, particularly for peroxy compounds and enzymes, which are sensitive towards heavy metal ions. Here, the sodium salts of, for example, l-hydroxyethane-l,l-diphosphonate, diethylenetriamine pentamethylene phosphonate or ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonate are used in amounts of 0.1 to 5 wt. %.

[00176] The detergent compositions herein can also optionally contain one or more iron and/or manganese chelating agents. Such chelating agents can be selected from the group consisting of amino carboxylates, amino phosphonates, polyfunctionally-substituted aro matic chelating agents and mixtures therein, all as hereinafter defined. Without intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that the benefit of these materials is due in part to their exceptional ability to remove iron and manganese ions from washing solutions by formation of soluble chelates. It is understood that some of the detergent builders described herein before can function as chelating agents and is such detergent builder is present in a suffi cient quantity, it can provide both functions.

[00177] Amino carboxylates useful as optional chelating agents include ethylenediamine- tetracetates, N-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetates, nitrilotriacetates, ethylenediamine tetraproprionates, triethylenetetraaminehexacetates, diethylenetriaminepentaacetates, and ethanoldiglycines, alkali metal, ammonium, and substituted ammonium salts therein and mixtures therein.

[00178] Amino phosphonates are also suitable for use as chelating agents in the composi tions of the invention when at lease low levels of total phosphorus are permitted in deter gent compositions, and include ethylenediaminetetrakis (methylenephosphonates) as DEQUEST. Preferred, these amino phosphonates to not contain alkyl or alkenyl groups with more than about 6 carbon atoms.

[00179] Polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic chelating agents are also useful in the com positions herein. Preferred compounds of this type in acid form are dihydroxydisulfoben- zenes such as l,2-dihydroxy-3,5-disulfobenzene.

[00180] A preferred biodegradable chelator for use herein is ethylenediamine disuccinate ("EDDS"), especially the [S,S] isomer.

[00181] If utilized, these chelating agents will generally comprise from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the detergent compositions herein. More preferably, if utilized, the chelat ing agents will comprise from about 0.1% to about 3.0% by weight of such compositions. CLAY SOIL REMOVAL/ANTI-REDEPOSITION AGENTS

[00182] The detergent compositions of the present invention can also optionally contain water-soluble ethoxylated amines having clay soil removal and antiredeposition properties. Granular detergent compositions which contain these compounds typically contain from about 0.01% to about 10.0% by weight of the water-soluble ethoxylates amines; liquid de tergent compositions typically contain about 0.01% to about 5%.

[00183] The most preferred soil release and anti-redeposition agent is ethoxylated tetra- ethylenepentamine. Exemplary ethoxylated amines are further described in US 4,597,898. Other groups of preferred clay soil removal-antiredeposition agents are the cationic com pounds disclosed in EP 0111965 Al, the ethoxylated amine polymers disclosed in EP 0111984 Al, the zwitterionic polymers disclosed in EP 0112592 Al, and the amine oxides disclosed in US 4,548,744. Another type of preferred antiredeposition agent includes the carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) materials. These materials are well known in the art.

GRAYING INHIBITORS

[00184] Graying inhibitors have the function of maintaining the dirt that was removed from the fibers suspended in the washing liquor, thereby preventing the dirt from resettling. Wa ter-soluble colloids of mostly organic nature are suitable for this, for example, the water- soluble salts of (co)polymeric carboxylic acids, glue, gelatins, salts of ether carboxylic acids or ether sulfonic acids of starches or celluloses, or salts of acidic sulfuric acid esters of cellu loses or starches. Water-soluble, acid group-containing polyamides are also suitable for this purpose. Moreover, soluble starch preparations and others can be used as the above- mentioned starch products, e.g., degraded starches, aldehyde starches etc. Polyvinyl pyrrol- idone can also be used. Preference, however, is given to the use of cellulose ethers such as carboxymethyl cellulose (Na salt), methyl cellulose, hydroxyalkyl celluloses and mixed ethers such as methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose, methyl carboxyme thyl cellulose and mixtures thereof, as well as polyvinyl pyrrolidone, which can be added, for example, in amounts of 0.1 to 5 wt. %, based on the composition.

OPTICAL BRIGHTENERS AND UV ADSORBERS

[00185] Any optical brighteners or other brightening or whitening agents known in the art can be incorporated at levels typically from about 0.05% to about 1.2%, by weight, into the detergent compositions herein. Commercial optical brighteners which can be useful in the present invention can be classified into subgroups, which include, but are not necessarily limited to, derivatives of stilbene, pyrazoline, coumarin, carboxylic acid, methinecyanines, dibenzothiphene-5, 5-dioxide, azoles, 5- and 6-membered-ring heterocycles, and other mis cellaneous agents. [00186] Preferred brighteners include the PHORWHITE ® series of brighteners from Verona. Other brighteners disclosed in this reference include: Tinopal ® UNPA, Tinopal CBS and Tino- pal 5BM; available from Ciba-Geigy; Artie White ® CC and Artie White CWD, available from Hilton-Davis; the 2-(4-stryl-phenyl)-2H-napthol [l,2-d]triazoles; 4,4'-bis-(l,2,3-triazol-2-yl)- stilbenes; 4,4'-bis(stryl)bisphenyls; and the aminocoumarins. Specific examples of these brighteners include 4-methyl-7-diethyl-amino coumarin; l,2-bis(-venzimidazol-2- yl)ethylene; 1,3-diphenyl-phrazolines; 2,5-bis(benzoxazol-2-yl)thiophene; 2-stryl-napth- [1,2-d] oxazole; and 2-(stilbene-4-yl)-2H-naphtho- [l,2-d]triazole. Anionic brighteners are preferred herein.

[00187] The compositions may comprise e.g., derivatives of diaminostilbene disulfonic acid or alkali metal salts thereof as the optical brighteners. Suitable optical brighteners are, for example, salts of 4,4'-bis-(2-anilino-4-morpholino-l,3,5-triazinyl-6-amino)sti lbene-2,2'-di- sulfonic acid or compounds of similar structure which contain a diethanolamino group, a methylamino group, an anilino group or a 2-methoxyethylamino group instead of the mor- pholino group. Brighteners of the substituted diphenylstyryl type may also be present, for example, the alkali metal salts of 4,4'-bis(2-sulfostyryl)diphenyl, 4,4'-bis(4-chloro-3- sulfostyryl)diphenyl or 4-(4-chlorostyryl)-4'-(2-sulfostyryl)diphenyl. Mixtures of the men tioned brighteners may also be used.

[00188] In addition, UV absorbers may also be added. These are compounds with distinct absorption abilities for ultra violet radiation, which contribute as UV stabilizers as well as to improve the light stability of colorants and pigments both for textile fibers as well as for the skin of the wearer of textile products by protecting against the UV radiation that penetrates the fabric. In general, the efficient radiationless deactivating compounds are derivatives of benzophenone, substituted with hydroxyl and/or alkoxy groups, mostly in position(s) 2 and/or 4. Also suitable are substituted benzotriazoles, additionally acrylates that are phenyl- substituted in position 3 (cinnamic acid derivatives), optionally with cyano groups in position 2, salicylates, organic Ni complexes, as well as natural substances such as umbelliferone and the endogenous urocanic acid. In a preferred embodiment, the UV absorbers absorb UV-A and UV-B radiation as well as possible UV-C radiation and re-emit light with blue wave lengths, such that they additionally have an optical brightening effect. Preferred UV absorb ers encompass triazine derivatives, e.g., hydroxyaryl-l,3,5-triazine, sulfonated 1,3,5-triazine, o-hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole and 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole as well as bis(anilinotriazinyl- amino)stilbene disulfonic acid and their derivatives. Ultra violet absorbing pigments like ti tanium dioxide can also be used as UV absorbers.

DYE TRANSFER INHIBITING AGENTS

[00189] The detergent compositions of the present invention can also include one or more materials effective for inhibiting the transfer of dyes from one fabric to another during the cleaning process. Generally, such dye transfer inhibiting agents include polyvinyl pyrroli- done polymers, polyamine N-oxide polymers, copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and N- vinylimidazole, manganese phthalocyanine, peroxidases, and mixtures thereof. If used, these agents typically comprise from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of the composi tion, preferably from about 0.01% to about 5%, and more preferably from about 0.05% to about 2%.

[00190] More specifically, the polyamine N-oxide polymers preferred for use herein are described in US 6,491,728, incorporated herein by reference.

[00191] Any polymer backbone can be used as long as the amine oxide polymer formed is water-soluble and has dye transfer inhibiting properties. Examples of suitable polymeric backbones are polyvinyls, polyalkylenes, polyesters, polyethers, polyamide, polyimides, pol yacrylates and mixtures thereof. These polymers include random or block copolymers where one monomer type is an amine N-oxide and the other monomer type is an N-oxide. The amine N-oxide polymers typically have a ratio of amine to the amine N-oxide of 10:1 to 1:1,000,000. However, the number of amine oxide groups present in the polyamine oxide polymer can be varied by appropriate copolymerization or by an appropriate degree of N- oxidation. The polyamine oxides can be obtained in almost any degree of polymerization. Typically, the average molecular weight is within the range of 500 to 1,000,000; more pre ferred 1,000 to 500,000; most preferred 5,000 to 100,000. This preferred class of materials can be referred to as "PVNO".

[00192] The most preferred polyamine N-oxide useful in the detergent compositions herein is poly(4-vinylpyridine-N-oxide) which as an average molecular weight of about 50,000 and an amine to amine N-oxide ratio of about 1:4.

[00193] Copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and N-vinylimidazole polymers (referred to as a class as "PVPVI") are also preferred for use herein. Preferably the PVPVI has an average mo lecular weight range from 5,000 to 1,000,000, more preferably from 5,000 to 200,000, and most preferably from 10,000 to 20,000. The PVPVI copolymers typically have a molar ratio of N-vinylimidazole to N-vinylpyrrolidone from 1:1 to 0.2:1, more preferably from 0.8:1 to 0.3:1, most preferably from 0.6:1 to 0.4:1. These copolymers can be either linear or branched.

[00194] The present invention compositions also can employ a polyvinylpyrrolidone ("PVP") having an average molecular weight of from about 5,000 to about 400,000, preferably from about 5,000 to about 200,000, and more preferably from about 5,000 to about 50,000. PVP's are known to persons skilled in the detergent field. Compositions containing PVP can also contain polyethylene glycol ("PEG") having an average molecular weight from about 500 to about 100,000, preferably from about 1,000 to about 10,000. Preferably, the ratio of PEG to PVP on a ppm basis delivered in wash solutions is from about 2:1 to about 50:1, and more preferably from about 3:1 to about 10:1.

[00195] The detergent compositions herein can also optionally contain from about 0.005% to 5% by weight of certain types of hydrophilic optical brighteners which also provide a dye transfer inhibition action. If used, the compositions herein will preferably comprise from about 0.01% to 1% by weight of such optical brighteners.

[00196] One preferred brightener is 4,4',-bis[(4-anilino-6-(N-2-bis-hydroxyethyl)-s-triazine- 2-yl)amino]-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonic acid and disodium salt. This particular brightener species is commercially marketed under the trade name Tinopal-UNPA-GX ® by Ciba-Geigy Corpora tion. Tinopal-UNPA-GX is the preferred hydrophilic optical brightener useful in the deter gent compositions herein.

[00197] Another preferred brightener is 4,4'-bis[(4-anilino-6-(N-2-hydroxyethyl-N- methylamino)-s-triazine-2-yl)amino]2,2'-stilbenedisulfonic acid disodium salt. This particular brightener species is commercially marketed under the trade name Tinopal 5BM-GX ® by Ciba-Geigy Corporation.

[00198] Another preferred brightener brightener is 4,4'-bis[(4-anilino-6-morphilino-s- triazine-2-yl)amino]2,2'-stilbenedisulfonic acid, sodium salt. This particular brightener spe cies is commercially marketed under the trade name Tinopal AMS-GX ® by Ciba Geigy Corpo ration.

[00199] The specific optical brightener species selected for use in the present invention provide especially effective dye transfer inhibition performance benefits when used in com bination with the selected polymeric dye transfer inhibiting agents hereinbefore described. The combination of such selected polymeric materials (e.g., PVNO and/or PVPVI) with such selected optical brighteners (e.g., Tinopal UNPA-GX, Tinopal 5BM-GX and/or Tinopal AMS- GX) provides significantly better dye transfer inhibition in aqueous wash solutions than does either of these two detergent composition components when used alone. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that such brighteners work this way because they have high affinity for fabrics in the wash solution and therefore deposit relatively quick on these fab rics. The extent to which brighteners deposit on fabrics in the wash solution can be defined by a parameter called the "exhaustion coefficient". The exhaustion coefficient is in general as the ratio of a) the brightener material deposited on fabric to b) the initial brightener con centration in the wash liquor. Brighteners with relatively high exhaustion coefficients are the most suitable for inhibiting dye transfer in the context of the present invention.

[00200] Of course, it will be appreciated that other, conventional optical brightener types of compounds can optionally be used in the present compositions to provide conventional fabric "brightness" benefits, rather than a true dye transfer inhibiting effect. Such usage is conventional and well-known to detergent formulations.

THICKENERS

The compositions can also comprise common thickeners and anti-deposition compositions as well as viscosity regulators such as polyacrylates, polycarboxylic acids, polysaccharides and their derivatives, polyurethanes, polyvinyl pyrrolidones, castor oil derivatives, polyam ine derivatives such as quaternized and/or ethoxylated hexamethylenediamines as well as any mixtures thereof. Preferred compositions have a viscosity below 10,000 mPa*s, meas ured with a Brookfield viscosimeter at a temperature of 20°C and a shear rate of 50 min -1 .

INORGANIC SALTS

[00201] Further suitable ingredients of the composition are water-soluble inorganic salts such as bicarbonates, carbonates, amorphous silicates or mixtures of these; alkali carbonate and amorphous silicate are particularly used, principally sodium silicate with a molar ratio Na 2 0:Si0 2 of 1:1 to 1:4.5, preferably of 1:2 to 1:3.5. Preferred compositions comprise alka line salts, builders and/or cobuilders, preferably sodium carbonate, zeolite, crystalline, lay ered sodium silicates and/or trisodium citrate, in amounts of 0.5 to 70 wt. %, preferably 0.5 to 50 wt. %, particularly 0.5 to 30 wt. % anhydrous substance.

PERFUMES AND COLORANTS

[00202] The compositions can comprise further typical detergent and cleansing composi tion ingredients such as perfumes and/or colorants, wherein such colorants are preferred that leave no or negligible coloration on the fabrics being washed. Preferred amounts of the totality of the added colorants are below 1 wt. %, preferably below 0.1 wt. %, based on the composition. The compositions can also comprise white pigments such as e.g., TiC>2.

CAPSULES

[00203] In another embodiment of the present invention either the fragrance compositions or the fragrance formulations can be incoporated into a capsule.

[00204] Typically, encapsulation take place by means of a solid covering material, which is preferably selected from starches, degraded or chemically or physically modified starches (in particular dextrins and maltodextrins), gelatins, gum arabic, agar-agar, ghatti gum, gellan gum, modified and non-modified celluloses, pullulan, curdlan, carrageenans, alginic acid, alginates, pectin, inulin, xanthan gum and mixtures of two or more of said substances.

[00205] The solid covering material is preferably selected from gelatin (preferred are pork, beef, chicken and/or fish gelatins and mixtures thereof, preferably comprising at least one gelatin with a bloom value of greater than or equal to 200, preferably with a bloom value of greater than or equal to 240), maltodextrin (preferably obtained from maize (corn), wheat, tapioca or potato, preferred maltodextrins have a DE value of 10 - 20), modified cellulose (for example cellulose ether), alginates (for example Na-alginate), carrageenan (beta-, iota-, lambda- and/or kappa carrageenan), gum arabic, curdlan and/or agar-agar. Gelatin is pref erably used, in particular, because of its good availability in different bloom values. Particu larly preferred, especially for oral use are seamless gelatin or alginate capsules, the covering of which dissolves very rapidly in the mouth or bursts when chewing. Production may take place, for example, as described in EP0389700Al,US4,251,195,US6,214,376,WO 2003 055587 orWO 2004050069Al.

[00206] The capsules, however, may also represent micro-capsules. "Microcapsules" are understood to be spherical aggregates with a diameter of about 0.1 to about 5 mm which contain at least one solid or liquid core surrounded by at least one continuous membrane. More precisely, they are finely dispersed liquid or solid phases coated with film-forming polymers, in the production of which the polymers are deposited onto the material to be encapsulated after emulsification and coacervation or interfacial polymerization. In another process, liquid active principles are absorbed in a matrix ("microsponge") and, as micropar ticles, may be additionally coated with film-forming polymers. The microscopically small capsules, also known as nanocapsules, can be dried in the same way as powders. Besides single-core microcapsules, there are also multiple-core aggregates, also known as micro spheres, which contain two or more cores distributed in the continuous membrane materi al. In addition, single-core or multiple-core microcapsules may be surrounded by an addi tional second, third etc. membrane. The membrane may consist of natural, semisynthetic or synthetic materials. Natural membrane materials are, for example, gum arabic, agar agar, agarose, maltodextrins, alginic acid and salts thereof, for example sodium or calcium algi nate, fats and fatty acids, cetyl alcohol, collagen, chitosan, lecithins, gelatin, albumin, shel lac, polysaccharides, such as starch or dextran, polypeptides, protein hydrolyzates, sucrose and waxes. Semisynthetic membrane materials are inter alia chemically modified celluloses, more particularly cellulose esters and ethers, for example cellulose acetate, ethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose, and starch derivatives, more particularly starch ethers and esters. Synthetic membrane materi als are, for example, polymers, such as polyacrylates, polyamides, polyvinyl alcohol or poly vinyl pyrrolidone.

[00207] Examples of known microcapsules are the following commercial products (the membrane material is shown in brackets) Hallcrest Microcapsules (gelatin, gum arabic), Coletica Thalaspheres (maritime collagen), Lipotec Millicapseln (alginic acid, agar agar), In- duchem Unispheres (lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), Unicetin C30 (lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), Kobo Gly- cospheres (modified starch, fatty acid esters, phospholipids), Softspheres (modified agar agar) and Kuhs Probiol Nanospheres (phospholipids).

[00208] The active principles are released from the microcapsules by mechanical, thermal, chemical or enzymatic destruction of the membrane, normally during the use of the prepa rations containing the microcapsules. Despite the fact that the state of the art a huge range of possibilities for the encapsulation of actives, methods according to which a shell is ob tained by coazervation, precipitation or polycondensation of anionic and cationic polymers has been quite suitable for the formation of stable capsules. Particularly, a preferred pro cess for the encapsulation of active principles according to the present invention is charac terised in that it comprises the steps of (a) preparing a matrix from gel formers, cationic polymers and active principles;

(b) optionally dispersing said matrix in an oil phase; and

(c) treating said dispersed matrix with aqueous solutions of anionic polymers and option ally removing the in phase in the process.

[00209] Of course, anionic and cationic polymers in steps (a) and (c) can be exchanged.

[00210] Gel formers. In the context of the invention, preferred gel formers are substances which are capable of forming gels in aqueous solution at temperatures above 40° C. Typical examples of such gel formers are heteropolysaccharides and proteins. Preferred thermogel- ling heteropolysaccharides are agaroses which may be present in the form of the agar agar obtainable from red algae, even together with up to 30% by weight of non-gel-forming aga- ropectins. The principal constituent of agaroses are linear polysaccharides of Galactose and 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose with alternate 1,3- and 1,4-glycosidic bonds. The heteropolysaccha rides preferably have a molecular weight of 110,000 to 160,000 and are both odourless and tasteless. Suitable alternatives are pectins, xanthans (including xanthan gum) and mixtures thereof. Other preferred types are those which in 1% by weight aqueous solution still form gels that do not melt below 80° C. and solidify again above 40° C. Examples from the group of thermogelling proteins are the various gelatines.

[00211] Anionic polymers. Salts of alginic acid are preferred for this purpose. The alginic acid is a mixture of carboxyl-containing polysaccharides with the following idealized mono mer unit:

[00213] The average molecular weight of the alginic acid or the alginates is in the range from 150,000 to 250,000. Salts of alginic acid and complete and partial neutralization prod ucts thereof are understood In particular to be the alkali metal salts, preferably sodium algi nate ("algin") and the ammonium and alkaline earth metal salts. Mixed alginates, for exam ple sodium/magnesium or sodium/calcium alginates, are particularly preferred. In an alter native embodiment of the invention, however, carboxymethyl celluloses and anionic chi- tosan derivatives, for example the carboxylation and above all succinylation products are also suitable for this purpose.

[00214] Cationic polymers. Chitosans are biopolymers which belong to the group of hydro colloids. Chemically, they are partly de-acetylated chitins differing in their molecular weights which contain the following - idealized - monomer unit: [00215]

[00216] In contrast to most hydrocolloids, which are negatively charged at biological pH values, chitosans are cationic biopolymers under these conditions. The positively charged chitosans are capable of interacting with oppositely charged surfaces and are therefore used in cosmetic hair-care and body-care products and pharmaceutical preparations.

[00217] In a preferred embodiment of the invention a 1 to 10 and preferably 2 to 5% by weight aqueous solution of the gel former, preferably agar agar, is normally prepared and heated under reflux. A second aqueous solution containing the cationic polymer, preferably chitosan, in quantities of 0.1 to 2 and preferably 0.25 to 0.5% by weight and the active prin ciple in quantities of 0.1 to 25 and preferably 0.25 to 10% by weight is added in the boiling heat, preferably at 80 to 100 ° C; this mixture is called the matrix. Accordingly, the charging of the microcapsules with active principles may also comprise 0.1 to 25% by weight, based on the weight of the capsules. If desired, water-insoluble constituents, for example inorgan ic pigments, may also be added at this stage to adjust viscosity, generally in the form of aqueous or aqueous/alcoholic dispersions. In addition, to emulsify or disperse the active principles, it can be useful to add emulsifiers and/or solubilisers to the matrix. After its preparation from gel former, cationic polymer and active principle, the matrix optionally is very finely dispersed in an oil phase with intensive shearing in order to produce small parti cles in the subsequent encapsulation process. It has proved to be particularly advantageous in this regard to heat the matrix to temperatures in the range from 40 to 60° C while the oil phase is cooled to 10 to 20° C. The actual encapsulation, i.e. formation of the membrane by contacting the cationic polymer in the matrix with the anionic polymers, takes place in the third step. To this end, it is advisable to wash the matrix - dispersed in the oil phase - with an aqueous ca. 0.1 to 3 and preferably 0.25 to 0.5% by weight aqueous solution of the anionic polymer, preferably the alginate, at a temperature in the range from 40 to 100 and prefera bly 50 to 60° C. and, at the same time, to remove the oil phase if present. The resulting aqueous preparations generally have a microcapsule content of 1 to 10% by weight. In some cases, it can be of advantage for the solution of the polymers to contain other ingredients, for example emulsifiers or preservatives. After filtration, microcapsules with a mean diame ter of preferably 1 to 3 mm are obtained. It is advisable to sieve the capsules to ensure a uniform size distribution. The microcapsules thus obtained may have any shape within pro duction-related limits, but are preferably substantially spherical. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
