Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention generally relates to methods and compositions for creating, altering, improving or enhancing the olfactory impression of one or more perfume ingredients in perfume compositions when delivered to textiles from a laundry care product, such as a fabric conditioner or laundry fragrance enhancer, and particularly when such products contain reduced levels of cationic surfactants.
[0002] References to sequence listings
[0003] This application contains a sequence listing in computer readable form. This computer readable form is incorporated herein by reference. Background Art
[0004] Consumers are increasingly demanding an effective and long-lasting fragrance on their clothes, even weeks after washing. It is also desirable to enhance the consumer experience by releasing fragrance at different consumer touch points, such as the point of purchase, when opening the door of a washing machine or dryer, and during storage, ironing, and wearing of clothing. Clothing care products, such as detergents, fabric conditioner compositions, and fragrance enhancer compositions, enable consumers to enjoy a fantastic fragrance experience during these different stages of the clothing care process.
[0005] Fabric conditioner compositions are water-based textile conditioning compositions that are primarily intended to be added to washing machines during the rinse cycle of a clothes washing process. The main component of fabric conditioner compositions is a cationic surfactant, which can soften textiles and provide static control. In addition to this surfactant, they typically contain small amounts of other materials, such as emulsifiers. It is known to add cellulases to fabric conditioner compositions. In particular, enzymes have been used to improve the condition of textiles (e.g., to reduce pilling), as well as to improve the water absorption of textiles. Fabric conditioner compositions also routinely include aesthetic additives, such as pigments and fragrances.
[0006] With consumer demand for smaller dosage forms (e.g., unit dosage forms) and the public's interest in reducing the consumption of the earth's resources to meet our consumer product needs, it is desirable to reduce the solids content in these products. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to reduce the level of the main components (more particularly, cationic surfactants) used in these products while still providing excellent conditioning performance and textile care.
[0007] While fragrance is conventionally thought of as a mere aesthetic ingredient, its use in consumer products is in fact not simply about ensuring that treated products and textiles exhibit a pleasant smell. Consumers actually benefit from the added value that fragrance design brings to their consumer products. For decades, consumer product manufacturers have known about the ability of fragrance to enhance the attributes of consumer products. The pleasant smell that lingers on a shirt after ironing informs the wearer that it is not only clean and fresh, but also that it is almost new again. Deodorant users stay “fresh” even after a hard day at the office. Floor cleaners not only clean the floor, but the room remains “clean” hours later.
[0008] Skilled perfumers can achieve the desired pleasant sensations and various such secondary functional benefits because they understand how perfumes interact with the complex chemicals used in consumer products and the chemical composition of the target substrate. For example, it is generally known that the softness of washed clothing is achieved by delivering cationic surfactants to the fabric surface. It is also known that perfume ingredients are associated with surfactant aggregates, and the absorption of perfumes is accompanied by the deposition of cationic surfactants on textiles. In this way, cationic surfactants actually promote perfume deposition and thus promote the effect of perfume on newly washed fabrics. In addition, if perfumers use perfume ingredients that are known to be well deposited on fabrics, the initial deposition on wet fabrics can be converted into improved perfume tenacity and odor impact during drying and subsequent consumer storage and use. On the contrary, reducing the level of cationic surfactants may reduce the deposition of perfumes and limit their olfactory performance in the wet and dry stages of the wash cycle.
[0009] As the consumer goods industry undertakes the task of transforming laundry care products to reduce reliance on unsustainable petrochemical materials, such as cationic surfactants, to meet consumer demand for sustainable products, perfumers need to adjust and modify their fragrance design principles to balance pleasure and functional effects given the new realities of consumer product chemistry. More specifically, perfumers need to counteract any attenuation or modulation of the olfactory signal from fragrances delivered from consumer products containing reduced levels of surfactants, and in particular cationic actives.
[0010] There remains a need to optimize perfume design to create, modify, improve or enhance the olfactory impression of one or more perfume ingredients in perfume compositions when deposited onto textiles from laundry care products such as fabric conditioners, and particularly such products containing reduced levels of cationic surfactants. Summary of the invention
[0011] The applicant has found that the odor impression of the perfume composition delivered to the textile from the clothing care product can be adjusted according to whether the textile is treated with or has been treated with cellulase and the degree of treatment of the textile. More particularly, the applicant has found that in products containing cellulase and in particular products containing reduced levels of cationic surfactants, certain perfume ingredients are more preferentially deposited on the textiles treated with those products compared to similar products without cellulase. It was unexpectedly found that the affinity of certain perfume ingredients to the surface of the textile can be changed according to whether the textile has been treated with cellulase, which provides a means for skilled perfumers to change the olfactory impression of the perfume deposited on the textile. Therefore, by wisely selecting perfume ingredients with increased affinity for cellulase-treated textiles, it is possible to change the olfactory impression of the perfume to produce new pleasant sensations, which can particularly produce, change, improve or enhance fresh notes, floral notes, sweet notes, cream notes and oriental notes; or produce new functional effects, such as improving or increasing the intensity of the richness (bloom) or room-filling (room-filling) of the perfume.
[0012] More particularly, applicants have discovered a group of perfume ingredients that, when deposited on cellulase-treated textiles, exhibit particularly pronounced modulation of olfactory impressions, such that the olfactory impressions are detectable by human subjects exhibiting normal olfactory acuity. Still more particularly, applicants have discovered that there is a relationship between the propensity of perfume ingredients to preferentially deposit on enzyme-treated cotton-containing textiles as compared to untreated cotton-containing textiles and the molecular characteristics of these ingredients.
[0013] In particular, the applicant has found that the deposition of perfume ingredients on cellulase-treated cotton is determined by two contributions: a first contribution, which is reflected by a high ClogP value; and a second contribution, which is referred to herein as the affinity factor of the ingredient and is associated with the presence of electron-rich chemical functional groups, such as aromatic rings, nitrogen-containing functional groups, including N atoms in heterocycles, nitriles, amines, oximes, and amides; carbonyl functional groups; carbon-carbon double or triple bonds; and secondary or tertiary hydroxyl functional groups. Therefore, ingredients with high ClogP, or ingredients with the chemical functional groups mentioned above, or ingredients with high ClogP and the aforementioned chemical functional groups, especially when the molecular weight Mw of those ingredients is 200 g / mol or higher, show enhanced deposition on treated textiles compared to their deposition on untreated cotton-containing textiles.
[0014] Therefore, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a laundry care product comprising a cationic surfactant, a cellulase and a perfume composition, wherein the perfume composition comprises:
[0015] - at least one ingredient with a ClogP of 3 or greater; and / or
[0016] - at least one component having an affinity factor A equal to or greater than 3, wherein the affinity factor A is given by the following formula (Equation 1):
[0017] A = 2(Ar)+nN+nstOH+nAld+nLac+nKet+nDB+0.5(nEst)
[0018] in
[0019] -Ar refers to an aromatic ring and takes a value of 2 if one or more aromatic rings are present in the component, or a value of zero if the component contains no aromatic rings;
[0020] -nN refers to nitrogen-containing functional groups, including N atoms in heterocycles, nitriles, amines, amides, or oximes, and is the number of such functional groups contained in the component;
[0021] -nstOH refers to secondary or tertiary hydroxyl functional groups and is taken as the number of such functional groups contained in the component;
[0022] -nAld refers to an aldehyde or α-β unsaturated aldehyde functional group and is taken as the number of such functional groups in the component;
[0023] -nLac refers to lactone functional groups and is taken as the number of lactone or pyrone functional groups in the component;
[0024] -nKet refers to ketone functional groups and is taken as the number of ketone or α-β unsaturated ketone functional groups in the component;
[0025] -nEst refers to ester functional groups and is the number of ester or α-β unsaturated ester functional groups in the component; and
[0026] -nDB refers to a carbon-carbon double bond or a carbon-carbon triple bond and is taken as the number of double bonds or triple bonds in the constituent, provided that if the double bond is present in any of the aforementioned functional groups or as aromatic unsaturation, it is not taken into account in determining the value of nDB.
[0027] ClogP is the calculated octanol / water partition coefficient. In the context of the present invention, ClogP is calculated using calculation software embedded in ChemDraw Professional software version 18.1.0.535. ChemDraw is part of the ChemOffice software platform commercialized by Perkin Elmer.
[0028] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for producing, modifying, improving or enhancing the olfactory impression of one or more perfume ingredients in a perfume composition deposited on a textile, the method comprising the steps of treating the textile simultaneously, sequentially or separately with a perfume composition as defined herein and a cellulase.
[0029] In a third aspect, the invention provides the use of an enzyme having cellulase activity in a laundry care product for producing, altering, improving or enhancing the olfactory impression of one or more perfume ingredients in a perfume composition as defined herein deposited on textiles from the laundry care product.
[0030] The embodiments, examples and preferences related to any one or more of the aspects of the present invention will be further described herein, and these embodiments, examples and preferences are equally applicable to all aspects of the present invention. Unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradictory to the context, the present invention encompasses any combination of the embodiments, examples and preferences described below in all possible variations thereof.
[0031] definition
[0032] Richness : This term is a measure of the fragrance signal strength, which is assessed by a skilled assessor immediately upon opening the viewing window of the washing machine (the so-called "out of the machine" phase) and at a distance of 0.5 to 2 meters from the viewing window. The assessment is carried out according to the following standardized procedure, an example of which is further described in Example 3.
[0033] Cellulase: The term "cellulolytic enzyme" or "cellulase" or "enzyme having cellulase activity" means one or more (e.g., several) enzymes that catalyze the decomposition of cellulosic material by hydrolysis of β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Such enzymes include one or more endoglucanases, one or more cellobiohydrolases, one or more β-glucosidases, or a combination thereof. Two basic methods for measuring cellulolytic activity include: (1) measuring total cellulolytic activity, and (2) measuring individual cellulolytic activities (endoglucanase, cellobiohydrolase, and β-glucosidase), as reviewed in Zhang et al., Outlook for cellulase improvement: Screening and selection strategies, 2006, Biotechnology Advances 24:452-481. Total cellulolytic activity is typically measured using insoluble substrates, including Whatman No. 1 filter paper, microcrystalline cellulose, bacterial cellulose, algae cellulose, cotton, pretreated lignocellulose, and the like. The most common assay for total cellulolytic activity is the filter paper assay using Whatman filter paper No. 1 as substrate. This assay was established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) (Ghose, 1987, Measurement of cellulase activities, Pure Appl. Chem. 59: 257-68).
[0034] For purposes of the present invention, cellulolytic enzyme activity can be determined by measuring the increase in hydrolysis of a cellulosic material by one or more cellulolytic enzymes under the following conditions: 1-50 mg of cellulolytic enzyme protein / g of cellulose in PCS (or other pretreated cellulosic material), at a suitable temperature (e.g., 50°C, 55°C, or 60°C) for 3-7 days, compared to a control hydrolysis to which no cellulolytic enzyme protein was added. Typical conditions are: 1 ml reaction, washed or unwashed PCS, 5% insoluble solids, 50 mM sodium acetate (pH 5), 1 mM MnSO4, 50°C, 55°C, or 60°C, 72 hours, sugar analysis by AMINEX® HPX-87H column (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA).
[0035] Depending on actual expression conditions, the cellulase used in the present invention can be expressed with or without a signal peptide or with a portion of a signal peptide.
[0036] Fabric Softener: Fabric softener (also referred to herein as fabric conditioner, fabric conditioner composition or just softener) is a composition that is typically applied to clothing during the rinse cycle of a washing machine or when washing by hand. Fabric softener coats the surface of the fabric with a charged chemical compound that neutralizes the fabric's charge and causes the threads to "stand up" from the surface, making the fabric feel softer and making it fluffier. Fabric softeners are available as solutions and solids, and can also be impregnated into dryer sheets used in clothes dryers.
[0037] Fabric softener: Fabric softening agent (or softening agent) is the component contained in fabric softener composition, such as charged chemical compound.These compounds cause the thread in fabric to lift from textile surface, and thus give the soft feeling of this fabric textile.In one embodiment, fabric softening agent is one or more cationic softeners.Softener will usually contain cationic surfactant from about 0.5% to about 40% by weight, for example from about 0.5% to about 30%, particularly from about 1% to about 20%, from about 3% to about 10%, such as from about 3% to about 5%, from about 8% to about 12% or from about 10% to about 12%.Non-limiting examples of cationic surfactant include bis (acyloxyethyl) hydroxyethyl methyl ammonium methosulfate, dipalmitoleoyloxyethyl hydroxyethyl ammonium methosulfate, dihydrogenated tallow hydroxyethyl ammonium methosulfate, distearyl ethyl hydroxyethyl ammonium methosulfate, dioleoyl ethyl hydroxyethyl ammonium methosulfate alkyl quaternary ammonium compound, alkoxylated quaternary ammonium (AQA) compound, other esterquats and combinations thereof. Cationic softeners bind to negatively charged groups on the textile surface through electrostatic attraction and neutralize their charge, thereby imparting lubricity.
[0038] Snippet: The term "fragment" means a polypeptide that lacks one or more (e.g., several) amino acids from the amino and / or carboxyl termini of a major portion of a mature polypeptide; wherein the fragment has enzymatic activity. In one aspect, the fragment contains at least 85% (e.g., at least 90% or at least 95%) of the amino acid residues of the mature polypeptide of the enzyme.
[0039] Family GH45 Cellulases:As used herein, the term "family GH45 cellulase" refers to a glycosyl hydrolase, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycosyl bonds. There are more than 100 glycosyl hydrolases that have been classified, see Henrissat et al. (1991) A classification of glycosyl hydrolases based on amino-acid sequences similarities' [classification of glycosyl hydrolases based on amino acid sequence similarities], J. Biochem. [Journal of Biological Chemistry] 280: 309-316 and CAZY website, www.cazy.org. So far, the glycoside hydrolase (GH45) of family 45 has been identified as endoglucanase (EC 3.2.1.4). Enzymes commonly referred to as "cellulase" fall within the scope of this definition. Such enzymes also include enzymes that can be referred to as endoglucanase.
[0040] Clothing care products: "Clothing care products" means products, particularly detergent and surfactant products, intended to produce an effect on treated textiles, including removal of stains or soils; bleaching, disinfecting, softening or conditioning; or imparting color or a pleasant fragrance. The term includes, but is not limited to, fabric softeners and fragrance enhancers.
[0041] Room Filling: The term refers to a measure of strength as assessed by a skilled assessor at a distance of 0.5 to 2 meters offline at a defined time (e.g., between 15 and 60 minutes) after the fabric has been air dried. The assessment is performed according to the following standardized procedure, an example of which is further described in Example 3.
[0042] Rinse cycle: The term "rinse cycle" is defined herein as a rinsing operation in which the textile is exposed to water for a period of time by circulating the water and optionally mechanically treating the textile, so as to rinse the textile, and finally removing the excess water. The rinse cycle may be repeated once, twice, three times, four times, five times or even six times at the same or different temperatures.
[0043] Fragrance enhancer : Fragrance enhancers are compositions applied to textiles during the laundry process to impart a lasting fragrance impression to the textiles, particularly during the drying phase, such as the storage, ironing or wearing phase of clothing. Fragrance enhancers typically comprise free and / or encapsulated fragrance oils entrained in a solid matrix material. Typically, fragrance enhancers are presented in the form of particles or pastilles.
[0044] Sequence identity : The relatedness between two amino acid sequences or between two nucleotide sequences is described by the parameter "sequence identity".
[0045] For purposes of the present invention, use Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, 1970, J. Mol. Biol. [Journal of Molecular Biology] 48: 443-453) to determine the sequence identity between two amino acid sequences, this algorithm is implemented in the Needle program of EMBOSS software package (EMBOSS:The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite [European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite], Rice et al., 2000, Trends Genet. [Genetics Trend] 16: 276-277) (preferred 5.0.0 version or updated version).Employed parameter is gap opening penalty 10, gap extension penalty 0.5 and EBLOSUM62 (EMBOSS version of BLOSUM62) substitution matrix.Use the output (using non-simplified (-nobrief) option to obtain) of " the longest identity " of Needle mark as identity percentage and as follows:
[0046] (identical residues x 100) / (alignment length - total number of gaps in the alignment)
[0047] Signal peptide A "signal peptide" is an amino acid sequence attached to the N-terminal portion of a protein that promotes secretion of the protein outside the cell. The mature form of an extracellular protein will often lack a signal peptide, which may be cleaved off during the secretion process.
[0048] textile:As used herein, term " textile " refers to any textile material, and this any textile material comprises yarn, yarn intermediate, fiber, non-woven material, natural material, synthetic material and any other textile material, the fabric made by these materials and the product (for example, clothing and other products) made by fabric.This textile or fabric can be in the form of knitwear, woven fabric (woven), denim (denim), non-woven fabric, felt, yarn and towel cloth.This textile can be based on cellulose, such as natural cellulose products, including cotton, flax / linen, jute, ramie, sisal or coconut fiber, or artificial cellulose products (for example, derived from wood pulp), including viscose / rayon, cellulose acetate fiber (tricell (tricell)), lyocell fiber (lyocell) or its blend.This textile or fabric can also be based on cellulose and based on the blend of non-cellulose fiber. Examples of blends are blends of cotton and / or rayon / viscose with one or more accompanying materials such as wool, synthetic fibers (e.g. polyamide fibers, acrylic fibers, polyester fibers, polyvinyl chloride fibers, polyurethane fibers, polyurea fibers, aramid fibers), and / or cellulose-containing fibers (e.g. rayon / viscose fibers, ramie, flax / linen, jute, cellulose acetate fibers, lyocell fibers). The fabric may be a conventional washable garment, such as a stained household garment. When the term fabric or garment is used, the broad term textile is also intended to be included.
[0049] The textiles contemplated in the present invention may be in any pure form, such as 100% cotton, 100% polyester, etc., or may be any blend of different types of textiles, such as 50% cotton and 50% polyester. Thus, in one embodiment, the textile is a blend of at least 50% polyester and at least 20% cotton.
[0050] The textile can be pre-washed (treated) during the washing process. The washing process can be carried out at various temperatures, depending on the textile, the dirt level on the textile, or any other aspect that may depend on the temperature. The present invention is not limited to any specific temperature. Therefore, in one embodiment, pre-washing is carried out at a temperature of at least 5°C, such as at least 10°C, at least 15°C, at least 20°C, at least 25°C, at least 30°C, at least 35°C, at least 40°C, at least 45°C, or at least 50°C, or at least 60°C.
[0051] Variants:The term "variant" means a polypeptide having enzymatic activity that contains an alteration, i.e., a substitution, insertion and / or deletion, at one or more (e.g., several) positions. Substitution means replacing the amino acid occupying a position with a different amino acid; deletion means removing the amino acid occupying a position; and insertion means adding an amino acid adjacent to and immediately following the amino acid occupying a position.
[0052] Washing cycle: The term "wash cycle" is defined herein as a washing operation in which a textile is exposed to a wash solution for a period of time by circulating the wash solution and the textile in a washing machine. The wash cycle may be repeated once, twice, three times, four times, five times or even six times at the same or different temperatures. The wash cycle is typically followed by a rinse cycle and finally a centrifuge cycle (to remove water from the textile). Determining the wash cycle during laundry washing is known to those skilled in the art.
[0053] Washing liquid: The term "wash liquor" is intended to mean a solution or mixture of water and detergent optionally including enzymes for laundry. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0054] The present invention relates to the use of a perfume composition and a cellulase combination for producing, changing, improving or enhancing the olfactory impression of one or more perfume ingredients deposited on a textile treated with a cellulase, and the design of a perfume composition for use in a clothing care product containing a cellulase and in particular those clothing care products containing a reduced level of a cationic surfactant. Applicants have found that by treating textiles with a cellulase and a specially designed perfume composition in a clothing care product, the olfactory impression of one or more perfume ingredients in the perfume composition can be modulated in a manner detectable by a person with normal olfactory acuity during all stages of the laundry process and during storage and subsequent use. Still more particularly, the modulating effect of the olfactory impression increases in multiple wash cycles using a cellulase.
[0055] In contrast, perfume compositions not constructed according to the present invention do not exhibit the aforementioned synergy with cellulases, or at least do not exhibit any degree of synergy that is perceptible by a person with normal olfactory acuity.
[0056] The present invention also relates to a method for improving the condition of textiles, the method comprising contacting the textile surface with a cellulase, particularly a cellulase in combination with a cationic surfactant. In particular, with respect to fabric conditioner compositions, applicants have found that despite reducing the level of cationic surfactant used in the fabric conditioner composition, by adding an effective level of cellulase to the composition, the conditioning and antistatic properties remain unaffected, while the anti-pilling properties are still improved after multiple wash cycles.
[0057] According to a first aspect of the invention, perfume ingredients that meet one or both of the contributions mentioned above show an increased tendency to preferentially deposit on enzyme-treated cotton-containing textiles. In addition, the higher the ClogP of the ingredient, and / or the higher its affinity factor, the higher the difference in deposition between untreated cotton-containing textiles and cotton-containing textiles treated with cellulase.
[0058] In a particular embodiment of the invention, the fragrance composition contains at least one ingredient that satisfies both contributions (i.e., a ClogP of 3 or greater, or more particularly 3.5 or greater, or still more particularly 4 or greater, and an affinity factor equal to or greater than 3, greater than 3.5, greater than 4, greater than 4.5, greater than 5, or greater than 5.5). In a more particular embodiment, the fragrance composition contains at least one ingredient that satisfies both contributions, and more particularly, the composition still contains at least one ingredient that satisfies both contributions and has a molecular weight Mw of 200 g / mol or more.

[0060] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the fragrance composition useful in the laundry care products according to the present invention independently comprises at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 or more fragrance ingredients that meet the ClogP contribution mentioned above, And / or at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 or more fragrance ingredients that meet the affinity factor contributions mentioned above, it being understood that such fragrance ingredients can achieve one or both of the ClogP and affinity factor contributions.
[0061] The fragrance ingredients mentioned above may represent the total fragrance ingredient content in the fragrance composition, or they may form only a part of the fragrance composition, in which case the fragrance composition comprises other fragrance ingredients which do not contribute in terms of ClogP and Affinity Factor, but which are used by the skilled perfumer to supplement the total fragrance composition, taking into account the specific hedonic or functional effect which is desired to be achieved.
[0062] In a particular embodiment of the present invention, the perfume ingredients that meet one or both of the ClogP and the affinity factor contributions account for 100 wt% or less of the total perfume composition, such as 90 wt% or less, 80 wt% or less, 70 wt% or less, 60 wt% or less, 50 wt% or less, 40 wt% or less, 30 wt% or less, 20 wt% or less, 10 wt% or less, 5 wt% or less, 2 wt% or less, or 1 wt% or less of the total perfume composition used in the present invention. It should be understood that when calculating the number of perfume ingredients in a perfume composition or their percentage contribution to the total perfume composition, for any given perfume ingredient, if it meets both the ClogP and the affinity factor contributions, its contribution (both the number and the percentage) is still only counted once.
[0063] The fragrance compositions useful in the present invention may be used at a level selected by the skilled artisan to produce the desired hedonic and / or functional effects. However, typically, based on the weight of the laundry care product, it may range from 0.05 wt% to 10 wt%, more particularly 0.05 wt% to 2.5 wt%, more particularly 0.1 wt.-% to 1.5 wt.-%, still more particularly 0.2 wt.-% to 1 wt.-%.
[0064] Some or all of the perfume ingredients of the perfume composition used in the laundry care product according to the present invention may be encapsulated.Any medium useful for the encapsulation of perfume compositions described in the art may be used in the present invention. Non-limiting examples of encapsulating media that can be used in the present invention are disclosed in the following prior art references: US 2003 / 215417; US 2003 / 216488; US 2003 / 158344; US 2003 / 165692; US 2004 / 071742; US 2004 / 071746; US 2004 / 072719; US 2004 / 072720; EP 1,393,706; US 2003 / 203829; US 2003 / 195133; US 2004 / 087477; US 2004 / 0106536; US 6,645,479; and US 6,200,949.
[0065] The encapsulated fragrance composition can be prepared using a series of conventional methods known to those skilled in the art for preparing shell capsules, such as interfacial polymerization and polycondensation. Non-limiting examples of materials suitable for preparing the shell of the microcapsule include urea-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde, phenol-formaldehyde, gelatin, polyurethane, polyamide, etc.
[0066] The cationic surfactants present in the laundry care products of the present invention are derived from non-renewable petrochemical resources. Therefore, another advantage of the present invention is the discovery that laundry care compositions can be made more sustainable by reducing the cationic surfactant loading. The inventors achieved this by adding cellulase.
[0067] Compared to many cationic surfactants used in laundry care products, cellulases can be obtained from renewable agricultural sources, occur naturally in the environment and are readily biodegradable. Replacing cationic surfactants with cellulases is in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 12 “Responsible consumption and production”: replacing cationic surfactants with cellulases enables producers (and therefore end users) to shift from potentially fossil to renewable raw materials and reduce the amount of persistent chemicals released into the environment.
[0068] Enzymes useful in the practice of the present invention are cellulases, particularly the GH45 cellulase family. It has not been previously shown that the use of cellulases, such as the GH45 cellulase family, together with selected perfume ingredients can be used to adjust the olfactory impression of perfume compositions deposited onto textiles from laundry care products.
[0069] In one embodiment, the enzyme is a cellulase having at least 60% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, or SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, or SEQ ID NO: 11.
[0070] The cellulase may be any enzyme having at least 60% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, or SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, or SEQ ID NO: 11, preferably, the cellulase is any enzyme having at least 60% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, or SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, or SEQ ID NO: 11, or SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, or SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, or SEQ ID NO: 11. NO: 10, or SEQ ID NO: 11 having cellulase activity has at least 65%, such as 70%, such as 75%, such as 80%, such as 85%, such as 90%, such as 91%, such as 92%, such as 93%, such as 94%, such as 95%, such as 96%, such as 97%, such as 98%, such as 99%, or such as 100% sequence identity.
[0071] Further suitable cellulases include those of bacterial or fungal origin. Chemically modified mutants or protein engineered mutants are included. Suitable cellulases include cellulases from Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Humicola, Fusarium, Thielavia, Acremonium, such as those disclosed in US 4,435,307, US 5,648,263, US 5,691,178, US 5,776,757 and WO 89 / 09259 produced by Humicola insolens, Myceliophthora thermophila and Fusarium oxysporum.
[0072] In addition suitable cellulases are alkaline or neutral cellulases with color care benefits. Examples of such cellulases are the cellulases described in EP 0 495 257, EP 0 531 372, WO 96 / 11262, WO 96 / 29397, WO 98 / 08940. Other examples are those cellulase variants such as those described in WO 94 / 07998, EP 0 531 315, US 5,457,046, US 5,686,593, US 5,763,254, WO 95 / 24471, WO 98 / 12307 and WO 99 / 001544.
[0073] Other cellulases are endo-β-1,4-glucanases having a sequence that is at least 97% identical to the amino acid sequence from position 1 to position 773 of SEQ ID NO: 2 of WO 2002 / 099091; or Family 44 xyloglucanases having a sequence that is at least 60% identical to positions 40-559 of SEQ ID NO: 2 of WO 2001 / 062903.

Polymer can act as a co-builder as mentioned above, or can provide anti-redeposition, fiber protection, soil release, dye transfer inhibition, defoaming properties, perfume encapsulation, and lubricity. Some polymers can have more than one of the above-mentioned characteristics and / or more than one of the motifs mentioned below. Exemplary polymers include polyquaternium salts, melamine polymers, siloxanes, silicones, (carboxymethyl) cellulose (CMC), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), poly(ethylene glycol) or poly(ethylene oxide) (PEG), ethoxylated poly(ethyleneimine), carboxymethyl inulin (CMI), and polycarboxylates (such as PAA, PAA / PMA, poly-aspartic acid, and lauryl methacrylate / acrylic acid copolymers), hydrophobically modified CMC (HM-CMC), copolymers of terephthalic acid and oligoethylene glycols, copolymers of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(oxyethylene terephthalate) (PET-POET), PVP, poly(vinylimidazole) (PVI), poly(vinylpyridine-N-oxide) (PVPO or PVPNO), and polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinylimidazole (PVPVI). Additional exemplary polymers include sulfonated polycarboxylates, polyethylene oxide and polypropylene oxide (PEO-PPO), and diquaternary ammonium ethoxysulfates. Other exemplary polymers are disclosed, for example, in WO 2006 / 130575. Salts of the above-mentioned polymers are also contemplated.
[0086] Fabric conditioner or softener composition can contain auxiliary materials. These optional ingredients include solvents (including isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, alkanes / cycloalkanes), shrink-proofing agents, anti-soil redeposition agents, wrinkle-resistant agents, bactericides, preservatives (including benzisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone and / or lactic acid), adhesives, dyes, enzyme stabilizers (including boric acid, borate, CMC and / or polyols, such as propylene glycol), emulsion stabilizers, defoamers (including dimethicone), skin conditioners (including caprylic / capric glyceride, ethylhexyl stearate or coconut oil), used alone or in combination. The selection of such ingredients is fully within the technical scope of the technician.
[0087] The second and third aspects of the present invention relate to a method for producing, modifying, improving or enhancing the olfactory impression of one or more perfume ingredients of a perfume composition deposited on a textile, the method comprising the step of treating the textile simultaneously, sequentially or separately with a perfume composition and a cellulase as defined herein, and the use of a perfume composition and a cellulase in such a method.
[0088] The method relies on selecting certain perfume ingredients based on one or both of the two contributions mentioned above, which are related to the ingredient's ClogP and affinity factor A. These contributions provide perfumers with useful tools to create perfume compositions for use in laundry care products containing cellulases, and particularly those products containing reduced levels of cationic surfactants. In such products, perfumers can take advantage of the synergy observed between cellulases and certain perfume ingredients by combining both perfume and cellulases in the same product.
[0089] In alternative embodiments, the perfume composition and the cellulase may be applied to the textile separately and sequentially from different laundry care products. In such embodiments of the invention, a first laundry care product (such as a detergent or fabric conditioner) may contain the cellulase and a perfume composition that has not been designed according to the invention, and a second laundry care product (such as a scent enhancer) may contain a perfume composition as defined herein containing perfume ingredients designed to impart an olfactory impression when delivered to a textile that is compatible with the perfume of the first laundry care product.
[0090] Such an embodiment may be useful or desirable when the fragrance used in the first laundry care product gives a desirable olfactory impression to the consumer when smelling "neat", i.e., when smelled from the bottle or when poured into the machine to start the wash cycle, but the fragrance signal is subsequently distorted when deposited on the textile treated with cellulase during one or more wash cycles. In such a case, the fragrance composition designed according to the present invention in the second laundry care product can be used to balance the olfactory impression delivered to the textile by the first laundry care product while maintaining the neat fragrance rendition of the first laundry care product.
[0091] Such a second laundry care product comprising a perfume composition designed according to the invention and which may or may not contain cellulase forms a further aspect of the invention.
[0092] In particular embodiments of various aspects of the invention, the olfactory impression created, altered, improved or enhanced may be associated with the delivery of fresh, floral, sweet, creamy or oriental notes to the treated textile; and / or it may be associated with an increase in richness intensity or room-filling intensity.

[0123] Example 1: Spices
[0124] The fragrances of Table 1 were prepared by combining all fragrance ingredients at the specified levels.
[0125]
[0126] Table 1: Fragrance composition
[0127] Example 2: Washing, rinsing and olfactory evaluation procedure
[0128] In the first step, two piles of cotton fabrics (which consisted of 5 small cotton terry towels, 5 95% cotton / 5% lycra T-shirts, and 5 100% cotton T-shirts) were subjected to 20 wash cycles using 65 g of unscented all-purpose liquid high efficiency laundry care detergent at a temperature of 40° C. for 45 minutes. The piles were each dried in a tumble dryer operated at 70° C. The purpose of this step was to age the fabrics.
[0129] In a second step, each pile was subjected to 20 more wash cycles, including a rinse cycle this time using a fragrance-free, dilute fabric conditioner having a dry matter content of 4.54 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the conditioner. In one pile (A), the conditioner was used as is, while in the other pile (B), 0.1 wt.-% of cellulase, based on the total weight of the conditioner, was added. The purpose of this step was to prepare two batches of cotton fabric, one batch having undergone a conventional wash process and the other batch having undergone an enzyme treatment.
[0130] For the perfume ingredient deposition study, 0.7 parts of the perfume of Table 1 were mixed with 99.3 parts of unscented thin laundry care liquid conditioner. The mixture was macerated for 3 days before further use. Batch A was washed again without adding cellulase to the conditioner, while Batch B was also washed again, but with a conditioner containing 0.1 wt% of cellulase having SEQ ID NO: 4, based on the total weight of the conditioner.
[0131] Both the wash cycle and the rinse cycle were carried out in a European front loading washing machine. The wash cycle and the rinse cycle were carried out at 40°C during 50 minutes, followed by spin drying at 1000 rpm.
[0132] For the evaluation of the “out of machine” consistency, the machine was set at 10 m 3 The panelists were instructed to enter the cubicle in pairs and one panelist was instructed to open the machine door. The panelists stood with their backs against the cubicle door and assessed the odor intensity at this position at the moment the odor was first detected.
[0133] For the evaluation of the "room filling" strength, the washed fabrics were immediately transferred to a drying device set in a cubicle. The air exchange was stopped and the fabrics were allowed to dry for 30 minutes. The panelists were instructed to make the evaluation through the viewing window of the cubicle.
[0134] Olfactory evaluation was performed by a panel of 5 expert panelists.
[0135] Odor intensity was rated on a scale of 1-5 (1 = barely noticeable, 2 = weak, 3 = moderate, 4 = strong, and 5 = very strong). At the same time, a qualitative description of the odor was recorded. These results are reported in Table 2.
[0136]
[0137] Table 2: Flavor performance evaluation
[0138] As is evident from Table 2, the presence of enzymes enhances the perception of perfume and intensifies the conditioning impression. The significant increase in body and room fill intensity observed in the presence of enzymes demonstrates better deposition of high performance perfume ingredients onto the cotton surface treated with cellulase.
[0139] Example 3: Measuring the deposition of fragrance oils on textiles
[0140] Analytical measurements were performed on 100% terry towels. Pentane extraction was performed using a Quick Extractor (Buchi, Switzerland) to measure fragrance deposition on garments. A known amount of material from washed garments was placed in the Quick Extractor. The material was extracted using a solvent (pentane) under pressure. Methyl decanoate (50 µL of a 10,000 ppm solution or 0.5 mg) was used as an internal standard.
[0141] The extracted samples were injected into GC / MS / FID (Agilent GC 7890A – MS5975C) according to the “splitless” method and the fragrances were identified and quantified using internal standards.
[0142] Table 3 shows the amount of perfume ingredients deposited on fabrics in piles A and B:
[0143]
[0144] Table 3: Deposition of fragrance ingredients. (*) Enhanced deposition confirmed by olfactory evaluation.
[0145] The results in Table 3 show that the deposition of perfume oils on textiles increased significantly with the use of cellulases against perfume ingredients with ClogP above 4, with the exception of diphenyl ether and methyl nonane acetaldehyde. However, these differences were attributed to analytical experimental problems related to the very high volatility of these ingredients. Olfactory evaluation confirmed that the fresh amber odor of methyl nonane acetaldehyde and the persistent floral rose odor of diphenyl ether were better reproduced on dry fabrics treated with cellulases.
