Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of concentrated laundry products, and in particular to a highly concentrated and environmentally friendly laundry composition and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With increasing emphasis on environmental protection and resource conservation, the detergent industry is rapidly developing towards high concentration, low-temperature compatibility, and eco-friendliness. Traditional laundry detergents often suffer from high water content, uneven dispersion of active ingredients, and easy precipitation at low temperatures. These issues not only increase packaging and transportation costs, but also put pressure on aquatic ecosystems due to the use of ingredients like phosphates and fluorescent brighteners. Furthermore, existing concentrated detergents often experience problems such as micelle structure destruction and active ingredient sedimentation upon dilution, resulting in diminished detergency. Therefore, developing laundry detergent formulas that combine high concentration, low-temperature stability, environmental performance, and dilution adaptability has become a core area of technical research for the industry.
[0003] In the field of surfactant compounding, traditional nonionic surfactants suffer from a wide distribution of ethylene oxide (EO) addition numbers, resulting in significant variations in molecular polarity and dispersed cloud points, making them prone to turbidity or stratification at low temperatures. Furthermore, anionic / nonionic compound systems often experience a mismatch in the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, leading to an elevated critical micelle concentration. This significantly reduces micelle stability, particularly in hard water conditions where ionic strength increases.
[0004] In terms of thickening and suspension systems, traditional formulations often use acrylic polymers or inorganic salts for thickening, but these can easily cause phase separation or shear thinning in concentrated systems. While cellulose thickeners offer environmental advantages, their linear molecular structure tends to form dense gels at high concentrations. This network structure quickly disintegrates upon dilution, making it difficult to maintain suspension stability. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a highly concentrated and environmentally friendly laundry composition and a preparation method thereof. The laundry composition provided by the present invention has strong stability and can improve foam performance and detergency.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] The invention provides a highly concentrated and environmentally friendly laundry composition, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 15-35 parts of a narrow distribution fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO7 / AEO9 mixture, 5-15 parts of isomeric alcohol ethers, 5-15 parts of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sodium sulfate, 0.5-1.5 parts of microcrystalline cellulose, 0.5-1.5 parts of microencapsulated plant essential oil, 2-5 parts of sodium citrate, 0.5-3 parts of tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, 0.5-1.5 parts of sodium polyaspartate, 0.05-0.15 parts of microencapsulated biological enzymes, and 0.05-0.3 parts of a preservative.

[0012] Preferably, the preparation method of the microencapsulated bioenzyme comprises: mixing and emulsifying the bioenzyme solution with a sodium alginate solution, dropping into a calcium chloride solution for cross-linking to obtain microspheres, mixing with a carboxymethyl chitosan solution, coating, and drying to obtain the microencapsulated bioenzyme.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The invention provides a highly concentrated and environmentally friendly laundry composition, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 15-35 parts of a narrow distribution fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO7 / AEO9 mixture, 5-15 parts of isomeric alcohol ethers, 5-15 parts of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sodium sulfate, 0.5-1.5 parts of microcrystalline cellulose, 0.5-1.5 parts of microencapsulated plant essential oil, 2-5 parts of sodium citrate, 0.5-3 parts of tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, 0.5-1.5 parts of sodium polyaspartate, 0.05-0.15 parts of microencapsulated biological enzymes, and 0.05-0.3 parts of a preservative.
[0020] The narrowly distributed AEO7 / AEO9 mixture of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers described herein preferably has a weight ratio of AEO7 to AEO9 of 1-3:1, more preferably 2:1. The EO distribution coefficient (CV) of the narrowly distributed AEO7 / AEO9 mixture is ≤15%. The narrowly distributed AEO7 / AEO9 mixture of the present invention exhibits more uniform molecular size, lowering the cloud point and improving low-temperature stability.
[0021] The isomeric alcohol ethers of the present invention are one or more of C10 isomeric alcohol ether 7EO, C10 isomeric alcohol ether 9EO, and isomeric tridecanol polyoxyethylene (5) ether. The isomeric alcohol ethers of the present invention have branched hydrophobic groups that disrupt the regular molecular arrangement, resulting in a lower freezing point (still liquid at -5°C), making them suitable for cold water washing. They also improve the low-temperature solubility and hard water resistance of laundry compositions. When used in combination with AEO7 / AEO9 or AES, they can reduce the critical micelle concentration and enhance interfacial adsorption.
[0022] The sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate described in the present invention can significantly reduce the surface tension of water. When compounded with non-ionic surfactants (such as AEO and isomeric alcohol ethers), it can form mixed micelles, thereby increasing surface activity and reducing the critical micelle concentration. Even after dilution, it can still maintain the micelle structure, prevent phase separation, and enhance the emulsification ability of hydrophobic stains (such as edible oil and sebum). When compounded with microcrystalline cellulose, the negative charge of the sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate is adsorbed on the fiber surface, forming an electrostatic barrier, reducing dirt re-adhesion, and improving the detergency.
[0023] The present invention combines "a narrow distribution fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO7 / AEO9 mixture, isomeric alcohol ethers and fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sodium sulfate" to optimize the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance and HLB value matching, adapting to various water quality and temperature conditions. It can achieve: the micellar structure can achieve high active substance loading and low-temperature stability; broad-spectrum decontamination (improving the removal rate of grease / protein / particulate stains); improved hard water adaptability and low-temperature adaptability; green and sustainable.
[0024] The method for preparing microencapsulated plant essential oils described herein preferably comprises: mixing the plant essential oil with polyethylene glycol, stirring (high-speed) shearing, adding carboxymethyl chitosan for crosslinking, and centrifuging to obtain the microencapsulated plant essential oil. The microencapsulated plant essential oil is preferably one or more of lavender essential oil, chamomile essential oil, and neroli essential oil. Microencapsulating the plant essential oil using aspects of the present invention improves its stability and prevents reactions with other components of the composition that could affect the cleaning effect. Furthermore, polyethylene glycol, a water-soluble component, dissolves rapidly during the washing process, releasing some of the essential oil. During the wearing phase, the carboxymethyl chitosan slowly releases the remaining essential oil through fiber friction and changes in sweat pH, thereby extending the fragrance's longevity.
[0025] The method for preparing the microencapsulated enzyme of the present invention preferably comprises: emulsifying the enzyme solution with a sodium alginate solution, mixing with a carboxymethyl chitosan solution, coating, dripping into a glutaraldehyde solution for crosslinking, washing with PBS and deionized water, and drying to obtain the microencapsulated enzyme. The enzyme preferably comprises a protease, a lipase, and a mannanase. The sodium alginate-carboxymethyl chitosan double-layer microcapsule structure in the microencapsulated enzyme can isolate the anionic surfactant in the laundry composition, preventing the enzyme from being degraded in activity and improving the enzyme's stability. During the washing process, mechanical friction destroys the outer chitosan layer of the microcapsule, gradually releasing the enzyme preparation, avoiding waste caused by a one-time release, and improving the detergency performance of the protease, lipase, and mannanase.
[0026] The preservative of the present invention is preferably 1,2-hexanediol or anisic acid.
[0027] The present invention also provides a preparation method of the above-mentioned laundry composition, comprising: mixing sodium citrate, tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, sodium polyaspartate and water and heating them to obtain a chelate system; heating and mixing a narrow distribution fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO7 / AEO9 mixture, isomeric alcohol ethers and fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sodium sulfate, adding the mixture to the chelate system, stirring and shearing, adding microcapsule plant essential oil, microcapsule biological enzyme, microcrystalline cellulose and preservatives, and homogenizing to obtain the laundry composition.
[0028] The rotation speed of the stirring and shearing process of the present invention is preferably 1500-2500 rpm, more preferably 2000 rpm, and the time is preferably 6-10 min, more preferably 8 min.

[0095] As shown in Table 1, the laundry compositions of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 7-8 exhibit strong overall stability, indicating that the stabilizing ingredients are the narrowly distributed AEO7 / AEO9 fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether mixture, C10 isomeric alcohol ether 7EO, and sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate. As shown in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-6, high and low temperatures can affect the stability of laundry compositions. Sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate improves the stability of laundry compositions more than the narrowly distributed AEO7 / AEO9 fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether mixture and C10 isomeric alcohol ether 7EO. The combined use of these three ingredients significantly enhances stability.
[0096] (2) Viscosity test
[0097] 20g of each laundry composition from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-8 was placed in a beaker and diluted 10-fold and 30-fold with 25°C, 250 ppm hard water. The viscosity before and after dilution was measured at 25°C using a rotational viscometer according to QB / T 1224-2012, "Liquid Detergents for Clothing." This was repeated three times and the average value was calculated. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0100] As shown in Table 2, overall, the laundry compositions of Examples 1-3 exhibit the highest viscosity at all dilutions. A comparison of Example 1 with Comparative Examples 1-6 demonstrates that the narrowly distributed AEO7 / AEO9 fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether mixture, C10 isomeric alcohol ether 7EO, and sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate are the primary factors determining viscosity; their combined use can increase the viscosity of the laundry composition. A comparison of Example 1 with Comparative Examples 7-8 demonstrates that microencapsulation has no significant effect on the viscosity of the laundry composition.
[0101] (3) Foam performance
[0102] The laundry compositions of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-8 were diluted 30-fold with 150 ppm hard water and then tested at a concentration of 0.3%. According to QB / T 7462-1994, 150 ppm hard water was used and a Roche foam meter was used to measure the foam height at 40°C, at the instant, 5 minutes, and 20 minutes later. The average value was obtained by repeating this three times. The specific results are shown in Table 3.

[0105] As shown in Table 3, Examples 1-3 exhibit the highest foam height and the best foam duration, demonstrating that the example formulations can improve the foam performance of laundry compositions. A comparison of Example 1 with Comparative Examples 1-6 demonstrates that the combination of a narrowly distributed fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO7 / AEO9 mixture, C10 isomeric alcohol ether 7EO, and sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate can enhance the foam height and duration of a laundry composition. A comparison of Example 1 with Comparative Examples 7-8 demonstrates that microencapsulation has a limited effect on the foam performance of a laundry composition.
[0106] (4) Decontamination performance
[0107] The stain removal performance of the laundry compositions of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-8 was measured using QBT1224-2012, "Liquid Detergents for Clothing." The laundry compositions were tested at a 0.1% concentration (using 250 ppm hard water to form a solution), with four replicates per test. The ratios of the stain removal values of the laundry compositions on carbon black-stained cloth JB-01, protein-stained cloth JB-02, and sebum-stained cloth JB-03 to the stain removal values of standard laundry detergents are shown in Table 4. Washing was performed using 250 ppm hard water.
[0108] The laundry compositions of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-8 were diluted 30 times with 250 ppm hard water, and their detergency was measured using QBT1224-2012. Four samples were tested in parallel for each test. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0113] As shown in Tables 4-5, overall, the laundry compositions of Examples 1-3 outperformed the comparative examples in detergency both before and after dilution, with significant improvement on JB-02 and JB-03, demonstrating that the formula design of the examples offers significant advantages in detergency. A comparison of Example 1 with Comparative Examples 1-6 reveals that while the narrowly distributed fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO7 / AEO9 mixture, C10 isomeric alcohol ether 7EO, and sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate all exhibit varying degrees of detergency against carbon black, protein, and sebum, the laundry compositions prepared using these ingredients individually or in combination do not perform as well against these three factors as the combined combination. Example 1 and Comparative Examples 7-8 demonstrate that non-microencapsulated essential oils and enzymes can reduce the detergency of laundry compositions.
[0114] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
