AI Technical Summary
Existing laundry processes fail to effectively eliminate unpleasant odors from fabrics, which can persist even after washing due to the chemical decomposition products of body dirt.
A process involving a washing liquor containing a metal ion, preferably Cu2+, and an antioxidant, such as an alkylated phenol, is used to treat fabrics, followed by separation and drying, to reduce malodors. The washing liquor is prepared by diluting a detergent composition in water, and the antioxidant is included at a specific concentration in the laundry detergent.
The process significantly reduces malodors in fabrics by up to 95.9% by effectively breaking down and neutralizing odor-causing compounds, as demonstrated by gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy analysis.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES Figure 1 is a water-soluble unit-dose article according to the present invention. frnArnn / zznz / E / Yii DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Process The present invention relates to a process for reducing bad odors in fabrics. A bad odor in the context of the present invention is an unwanted or undesirable odor in fabrics. Those skilled in the art will know the difference between an undesirable and a desirable odor. The process comprises the following stages; a. Combining fabrics with a washing liquor, wherein the fabrics comprise at least one source of malodor and wherein the washing liquor comprises a source of metal ions, preferably Cu2+, and wherein the washing liquor is prepared by diluting a laundry detergent composition in water by a factor of between 100 and 3000 times, preferably between 300 and 900 times. The fabric may be any suitable fabric. By fabric, it preferably refers to any textile or cloth comprising a network of natural or synthetic fibers. Those skilled in the art will have knowledge as to suitable fabrics. The fabric may be selected from cotton, polyester, cotton / polyester blends, polyamide, Lycra, rayon, or a mixture thereof. The fabric contains at least one source of odor. Those skilled in the art will be aware of the appropriate sources of the odor. Sources of odor could include the chemical breakdown products of bodily soil. The source of the odor may consist of bodily soil or its breakdown products, for example, 6-methyl-5-heptane-2-one, trans-2-heptanal, 3-methyl-2-butenal, decanoic acid, undecanoic acid, undecanal, or a mixture thereof. Those skilled in the technique will know how to prepare the laundry liquor. Without being limited by theory, simply adding laundry detergent to water will cause the detergent to dissolve and create the laundry liquor. The washing liquor can be created automatically in the drum of an automatic washing machine or it can be done in a manual washing operation. The laundry detergent composition may be comprised in a water-soluble unit-dose article, wherein the water-soluble unit-dose article comprises a water-soluble film. Without wishing to be limited to theory, the addition of the water-soluble unit-dose article to water will cause the water-soluble film to dissolve and release the laundry detergent composition into the water, creating the main wash liquor. Traditionally, when working in the drum of an automatic washing machine, the fabrics to be washed and the water-soluble unit-dose article are added to the drum, and the washing machine door is closed. The washing machine then automatically adds water to the drum to create the wash liquor. Preferably, the washing liquor comprises between 1 L and 64 L, preferably between 2 L and 32 L, more preferably between 3 L and 20 L of water. The composition of laundry detergent is described in more detail below. The washing liquor comprises a metal ion, preferably Cu2+. The metal ion may be present on the fabric before the fabric comes into contact with the washing liquor. The metal ion may be present at the source of the odor on the fabric before the fabric is combined with the washing liquor. The metal ion may be present in the washing liquor when it is combined with the fabric. If present in the washing liquor, the metal ion may also be present in the laundry detergent, the water, or a mixture of these. The water used to prepare the washing liquor may comprise between 10 ppb and 2000 ppb, preferably between 50 ppb and 100 ppb of the metal ion. Without wishing to be limited by theory, tap water comprises between 10 ppb and 2000 ppb, preferably between 50 ppb and 1000 ppb of Cu2+. The source of bad odor may comprise the metal ion at the point where the source of bad odor is applied to the fabric.Alternatively, the source of bad odor can be applied to the fabric, such as may occur during use when the fabric may be in contact with the user's skin, and the metal ion can be applied later. Preferably, the washing liquor comprises from 0.1 ppm to 100 ppm, preferably from 0.15 ppm to 50 ppm of the antioxidant. b. Wash the fabrics in the washing liquor using an automatic washing operation, a manual washing operation, or a mixture of these, preferably an automatic washing operation. Experts in the technique will know how to wash fabrics in an automatic washing operation, a manual washing operation, or a mixture of these. Preferably, the washing liquor is at a temperature between 5°C and 90°C, preferably between 10°C and 60°C, more preferably between 12°C and 45°C, most preferably between 15°C and 40°C. Preferably, washing fabrics in the washing liquor takes between 5 minutes and 50 minutes, preferably between 5 minutes and 40 minutes, with greater preference between 5 minutes and 30 minutes, with even greater preference between 5 minutes and 20 minutes, with the maximum preference between 6 minutes and 18 minutes to complete. Preferably, the washing liquor comprises between 1 kg and 20 kg, preferably between 3 kg and 15 kg, with the highest preference between 5 kg and 10 kg of the fabrics. The wash liquor may comprise water of any hardness, preferably ranging from 0 gpg to 40 gpg. Lower water hardness is called soft water, while higher water hardness is called hard water. c. Separate the fabrics and the washing liquor from each other. The fabrics and the washing solution are separated from each other after the fabrics have been washed. This separation may involve removing the fabrics from the washing solution or draining the washing solution from the fabrics. In an automatic washing machine operation, it is preferred that the washing solution be drained from the fabrics. To avoid any doubt, some of the washing solution may remain on the fabrics after the fabrics have been separated from the main volume of washing solution; that is, the fabrics remain damp. With respect to the present invention, the fabrics and the washing solution are considered to be separated from each other once the fabric has been separated from the main volume of washing solution or the main volume of washing solution has been drained, even though some residual washing solution may remain on the fabrics. d. Rinse the fabrics The method may include an additional step involving rinsing the fabrics with a liquid that may not contain detergent. This additional step can serve to remove any residual laundry liquor from the fabrics. The liquid used during the rinse step may be water. Alternatively, the liquid may be a combination of water with one or more additives, such as a fabric softener. e. Dry the fabrics. The method may include an additional step involving drying the fabrics. Those skilled in the art will know the appropriate means of drying the fabrics. Fabrics may be dried by any suitable means, including but not limited to: on a line (indoors or outdoors), at room temperature, in an automatic drying machine, or a combination of these. Those skilled in the art will know at what point the fabrics are considered dry rather than damp.

The unit-dose article may comprise a first water-soluble film and a second water-soluble film sealed together to define the internal compartment. The water-soluble unit-dose article is constructed such that the laundry detergent composition does not leak from the compartment during storage. However, after the water-soluble unit-dose article is added to water, the water-soluble film dissolves and releases the contents of the internal compartment into the washing liquid. The compartment is understood to mean a closed internal space within the unit-dose article, containing the detergent composition. During manufacture, a first water-soluble film may be formed comprising an open compartment into which the detergent composition is added. A second water-soluble film is then placed over the first film in such an orientation as to close the compartment opening. The first and second films are then hermetically sealed together along a sealing region. The unit-dose article may comprise more than one compartment, including at least two compartments, or even at least three compartments. The compartments may be arranged in an overlapping orientation, i.e., one placed on top of the other. In such an orientation, the unit-dose article will comprise three films: top, middle, and bottom. Alternatively, the compartments may be placed in a side-by-side orientation, i.e., one facing the other. The compartments may also be oriented in a 'cover and rim' arrangement, i.e., a first compartment is placed next to a second compartment, but the first compartment surrounds, at least partially, the second compartment, but does not completely enclose it. Alternatively, one compartment may be completely enclosed within another compartment. When the unit-dose article comprises at least two compartments, one of the compartments may be smaller than the other. When the unit-dose article comprises at least three compartments, two of the compartments may be smaller than the third, and preferably the smaller compartments overlap the larger compartment. The overlapping compartments are preferably oriented side by side. In a multi-compartment configuration, the laundry detergent composition according to the present invention may be contained in at least one of the compartments.

Preparation of the odor test fabrics Sixteen odor test fabrics are prepared per wash load by applying 300 pl of the body soil odor composition described in Table B to convert them into 2x5 inch unsized white 50 / 50 polycotton (PCW50 / 50) samples. 48 grams of the liquid detergent to be tested (see, e.g., Example 1, Table 1, below) are added to the Duet 9200 washing machine set to the normal cycle: a wash cycle at 77°F followed by a rinse cycle at 60°F. Municipal tap water from Cincinnati, OH, USA, is used, which contains an ambient level of copper, for example, due to copper piping systems. The odorous test fabrics are washed in 7 gpg wash water with a 3.9 kg, 50 x 50 cm clean cotton and polycotton ballast, and then dried in a Maytag brand twin-stack drum dryer set to low for 20 minutes.The dried fabrics are placed in a mylar bag and sealed for 24 hours. D. Analytical detection of bad odor in fabric The reduction of malodor using ABS / squalene malodor sensors is quantitatively determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using an Agilent 7890B gas chromatograph equipped with a mass selective detector (5977B), a Chemstation quantification package, and a Gerstel multipurpose sampler equipped with a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) probe. Calibration standards of 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (CAS 110-93-0), trans-2-heptenal (18829-55-5), and 3-methyl-2-butenal (107-86-8) are prepared by dissolving a known weight of these materials in light mineral oil (CAS 8020-83-5) (each material is available from Sigma Aldrich). The fabrics are cut into uniform pieces measuring 2 inches by 2.5 inches and placed in 10 ml vials with a crimped top space. The vials are equilibrated for more than 12 hours prior to analysis.The following settings are used on the autosampler: Incubation temperature 80 °C, incubation time 90 min, sample tray type VT32-10, vial penetration 22 mm, extraction time 20 min, injection penetration 54 mm, and desorption time 300 s. The following settings are used for the front-split / non-split helium inlet: split mode, temperature 250 °C, pressure 12 psi, total flow 79.5 ml / min, septum purge flow 3 ml / min, split ratio 50:1, and GC run time 22.5 min. The following settings are used on the oven: Initial temperature °C, heating program 12 °C / min, temperature 250 °C, and holding time 5 min. Based on the partition coefficients (K at 80 C) of each component, the total nMol / l liter of 6methyl-5-hepten-2-one (K = 3353), Trans-2-heptenal (K=3434) and 3-methyl-2-butenal (K=1119) is calculated. These values from these three measurements (in nmoles / l) are added together to provide the total ABS / squalene markers (nmoles / l) for a given test stage. E. Calculations of % reduction of bad odor from oxidation products The percentage reduction in odor from oxidation products is provided as a percentage comparing the reduction in the amount of selected odor markers provided by the test composition to that of the reference composition (zero antioxidant). The value is determined as follows: % reduction of oxidation products = (ref markers - test markers) x 100 / ref markers The values of the reference markers and the test markers are defined as follows: Reference Markers = Total ABS / squalene markers (nmoles / l) of fabrics washed with the formulation without antioxidant (e.g., the reference or control formulation) Test markers = total ABS / squalene markers (nmoles / l) of fabrics washed with the formulation containing the tested antioxidant Because the measured oxidation products are typically considered malodorous, it is believed that the higher the % reduction of oxidation products provided by a composition, the less likely the treated fabrics are to be malodorous. Therefore, higher % odor reduction values are typically preferred. The compositions and processes described herein can provide an oxidation product odor reduction % value of at least approximately 10%, or at least approximately 20%, or at least approximately 30%, or at least approximately 40%, or at least approximately 50%, or at least approximately 60%, or at least approximately 70%, or at least approximately 80%. The reduction of bad odor can also be reported as the difference between the markers^ and the Test markers, showing an absolute difference (e.g., Delta ABS / Squalene Oxidation). Test method for determining the logarithm of the octanol / acid partition coefficient at pH 7 (loo D) The logarithm of the octanol / water partition coefficient at pH 7.00 (log D) is determined for each antioxidant. The unitless value for log D at pH 7 for a known antioxidant is obtained from the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS, Columbus, Ohio, USA), if available. CAS provides values calculated using Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD / Labs) Software Vil.02 (© 1994-2019 ACD / Labs). If the value is not available from CAS, the value is determined using ACD software (version 14.02 (Linux) available from Advanced Chemistry Development Inc., ACD / Labs, Toronto, Canada), which employs the default log P and pKa values and classical algorithms for calculating log D. The antioxidants of the present invention have a log D at pH 7.00 greater than or equal to one or more of the claimed values (CV). If the log D is not listed for an antioxidant compound of interest in the information available from the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS, Columbus, Ohio, USA), it can be calculated directly using ACD software. If the calculated log D value at pH 7, obtained from the CAS if available, or calculated using software, is less than CV-0.50, or is not listed and is determined by calculation using ACD software to have a log D at pH 7 less than CV-0.50, no experimental measurement of the value is required. If the calculated log D value at pH 7 is already listed as equal to or greater than CV-0.50 and less than or equal to CV+0.50, or is not listed and is determined by calculation using ACD software to have a log D at pH 7 equal to or greater than CV-0.50 and less than or equal to CV+0.50, then an experimental determination of the value must be made to arrive at the value for the purposes of this invention. In the present invention, the measurement of the octanol-water partition coefficient must be achieved in accordance with OECD Test No. 117: Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), HPLC method. The method is available from the OECD Library (https: / / www.OECD-ilibrary.org / ), the online genoteca of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). frnfienn / zznz / E / Yii Reversed-phase HPLC is performed on analytical columns packed with a solid phase containing long hydrocarbon chains chemically bonded to silica. Chemicals are retained on the column in proportion to their hydrocarbon-water partition coefficient, with hydrophilic chemicals eluting first and lipophilic chemicals subsequently. The HPLC method covers log Pow values from 0 to 6, but can be expanded to cover log Pow values from 6 to 10 in exceptional cases. HPLC operates in the isocratic mode. The test substance is injected into the column in the smallest detectable amounts. The retention time is determined in duplicate. The partition coefficient of the test substance is obtained by interpolating the capacity factor calculated from the calibration chart. Extrapolation is necessary for very low and very high partition coefficients. The pH of the eluent is critical for ionizable substances. For the purposes of the present invention, it is necessary to adjust the eluent to a pH of 7.00 ± 0.05 when performing the OECD 117 test. The value obtained is taken to be the log D at pH 7 for the material of interest. Examples The examples provided below are for illustrative purposes and are not intended to be limiting. Example 1.

The antioxidant in Composition 1H, which has an ionizable carboxylic acid group, failed to demonstrate any benefit. Compositions 1F and 1G contain antioxidants with structures very similar to the phenol entity, but they lack readily ionizable groups at neutral pH or other strongly solubilizing groups. The antioxidant used in Composition 1H has a calculated log D value of 0.93 at pH 7 (calculated using Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD / Labs) Software Vol. 02), meaning it is almost 10 times more likely to be in water than in octanol when the water is at pH 7 and the volumes of water and octanol are equal. The other hindered phenol antioxidants employed, including those in Compositions 1F and 1G, have log D values ranging from 3.79 to 18.83 at pH 7. Since body soils are largely hydrophobic, it is perhaps understandable why a more water-soluble material such as 3,4-dihydro-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2H-1-enopyran-2-carboxylic acid used in formulation 9H did not provide benefits; it has little driving force to break down the hydrophobic soil, which it must do if it is to affect the auto-oxidation events in that soil after washing. Example 3. Impact of Cu2+ on bad odor This example demonstrates that the presence of copper in the wash solution affects the amount of post-wash auto-oxidation that produces a detectable malodor. Four simultaneous washes of standard body soiling samples were performed using 1000 ppm of commercially available Tide liquid detergent, where three of the wash solutions were enriched with 400, 800, or 1200 ppb of copper. The fourth wash had no copper added and served as a control. Analysis of the washed and dried samples to determine the levels of odor markers (3-methyl-2-butenal, trans-2-methyl-heptenal and 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one) showed that the addition of copper to the wash resulted in an increase in the level of the generated odor markers, as shown in Table 3 below.

For any level of soil remaining on the tissue, it is reasonable to assume that there is a corresponding maximum amount of odor markers that can be generated from that soil.
