Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to color-stable liquid detergents. In particular, the invention relates to color-stable liquid detergents containing gluconic acid salt.
[0002] The packaging and distribution of detergents and washing powders are subject to constantly changing requirements. For some time now, a key focus has been on convenient dosing of detergents and washing powders for consumers and simplifying the steps required to carry out a washing or cleaning process. One solution is pre-portioned detergents or washing powders, for example, foil pouches with one or more compartments for solid or liquid detergents or washing powders. From a technical perspective, a key focus is on the development and production of liquid detergents suitable for packaging in water-soluble foil pouches.
[0003] The commercial success of a detergent portion unit is largely determined by the ability to provide a product that meets consumer interest.
[0004] An important means of communicating the product quality and product promise of a liquid detergent is its appearance, for example the color of a liquid detergent or the shape and color of a portion unit containing the liquid detergent. This applies in particular to water-soluble film pouches, whose soluble films are usually transparent and allow a view of the solid or liquid detergent contained. Colored, i.e. non-white, liquid detergents can generally be produced easily by adding appropriate dyes to the liquid detergent. The temporal stability of the achieved color impression is influenced by, among other factors, the ingredients of the liquid detergent and the addition of stabilizing agents. For example, the international application WO 93 / 09215 A1 describes the stabilization of dyes in liquid detergents by the addition of sulfur-containing compounds such as sulfites.
[0005] Another key consideration in the successful marketing of a liquid detergent is its ecological footprint. The ecological footprint of a liquid detergent is determined not only by the amount of energy and water used in its production, but also by the biodegradability of the ingredients and packaging materials used. Providing liquid detergents with high performance while continually reducing their ecological footprint is another objective in the development of detergents and cleaning products.
[0006] In summary, the application was based on the objective of providing a visually appealing, dye-containing liquid detergent characterized by high color stability. The liquid detergent should be characterized by a high active ingredient concentration, be suitable for packaging in water-soluble foil pouches, and contain a high proportion of readily biodegradable ingredients.
[0007] A first subject of the application is a liquid detergent containing, based on its total weight, a) 22 to 50 wt.% anionic surfactant; b) 0.1 to 8 wt.% gluconic acid salt; c) 0.01 to 2% by weight of antioxidant; d) 5 to 25 wt% organic solvent; e) 0.1 to 15% by weight of water; f) less than 0.1% by weight of organic phosphonate;
[0008] The liquid detergents are characterized by surprising color stability when stored even under demanding conditions. This applies to both dye-free and dye-containing detergents, which retain their original coloration, as it occurs during production, even under demanding storage conditions.

[0016] Particularly preferred compositions contain an alkyl ether sulfate selected from fatty alcohol ether sulfates of the formula (III) with k = 11 to 19, n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8. Very particularly preferred representatives are Na fatty alcohol ether sulfates with 12 to 18 C atoms and 2 EO (k = 11 to 13, n = 2 in formula III). The stated degree of ethoxylation represents a statistical mean, which can be a whole or fractional number for a specific product. The stated degrees of alkoxylation represent statistical mean, which can be a whole or fractional number for a specific product.

[0018] The use of anionic surfactants from the group of alkanolamine-C 8-18 -Alkylbenzenesulfonates proven.
[0019] In preferred liquid detergents, the anionic surfactant is selected from the group of alkanolamine-C 8-18 -Alkylbenzenesulfonates with alkanolamine from the group monoethanolamine, monoisopropanolamine, diisopropanolamine, preferably from the group monoethanolamine.
[0020] Other preferred anionic surfactants come from the group of C 12-18 Fatty acid salts. Particularly preferred C 12-18 Fatty acid salts are selected from the group caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and mixtures thereof.
[0021] In preferred liquid detergents, the anionic surfactant is selected from the group of alkanolamine-C 12-18 Fatty acid salts with alkanolamine from the group monoethanolamine, monoisopropanolamine, diisopropanolamine, preferably from the group monoethanolamine.
[0022] The C 12-18 Fatty acid salts are classified in the application as anionic surfactants.
[0023] Both storage stability and washing and cleaning performance can be further improved by the composition of the surfactant system. In preferred detergents, the weight ratio of C 8-18-Alkylbenzenesulfonate to C 12-18 Fatty acid salts 8:1 to 2:1, preferably 7:1 to 5:2 and in particular 6:1 to 3:1. Particularly preferred detergents are those in which the weight ratio of alkanolamine-C 8-18 -Alkylbenzenesulfonate to alkanolamine-C 12-18 Fatty acid salt is 8:1 to 2:1, preferably 7:1 to 5:2 and in particular 6:1 to 3:1.
[0024] The detergents contain a nonionic surfactant as a preferred optional ingredient. Its weight fraction of the total weight of the detergent is preferably 12 to 36 wt.%, particularly preferably 15 to 33 wt.%, and especially 18 to 30 wt.%.
[0025] In particular, the use of non-ionic surfactants from the group of alkyl ethoxylates is preferred, with preferred alkyl ethoxylates from the group of ethoxylated primary C 8-18 -alcohols, preferably the ethoxylated primary C 8-18-alcohols with a degree of alkoxylation of 4 to 10, particularly preferably the C 12-14 -Alcohols with 4 EO or 7 EO, the C 9-11 -alcohols with 7 EO, the C 13-15 -Alcohols with 5 EO, 7 EO or 8 EO, the C 13-15 -Oxo alcohols with 7 EO, the C 12-18 -Alcohols with 5 EO or 7 EO, especially C 12-18 -Fatty alcohols with 7 EO or C 13-15 -Oxo alcohols with 7 EO can be selected.
[0026] In summary, preferred detergents contain, based on their total weight, 12 to 36 wt.%, particularly preferably 15 to 33 wt.% and in particular 18 to 30 wt.% nonionic surfactant from the group of ethoxylated primary C 8-18 -alcohols, preferably the ethoxylated primary C 8-18 -alcohols with a degree of alkoxylation of 4 to 10, particularly preferably the C 12-14 -Alcohols with 4 EO or 7 EO, the C 9-11 -alcohols with 7 EO, the C 13-15 -Alcohols with 5 EO, 7 EO or 8 EO, the C 13-15-Oxo alcohols with 7 EO, the C 12-18 -Alcohols with 5 EO or 7 EO, especially C 12-18 -Fatty alcohols with 7 EO or C 13-15 -Oxo alcohols with 7 EO.
[0027] With regard to the rheological properties of the detergents, their processability and cleaning effect, it has proven advantageous to use non-ionic surfactant and anionic surfactant in a weight ratio of 3:1 to 1:3, preferably 2:1 to 1:2 and in particular 3:2 to 2:3.
[0028] As a further optional ingredient, preferred detergents contain 1 to 10 wt.%, preferably 1.2 to 7 wt.% and in particular 1.5 to 4 wt.% of polyalkoxylated amine having a weight-average molecular weight M win the range of 600 g / mol to 10000 g / mol, which is obtainable by reacting ammonia or primary alkyl or hydroxyalkylamines having a molecular weight below 200 g / mol with alkylene oxides.
[0029] Preferred polyalkoxylated amines have a weight-average molecular weight M w in the range from 1300 g / mol to 6000 g / mol, in particular from 1400 g / mol to 4500 g / mol. (The average molecular weights given here and later for other polymers are weight-average molecular weights M wwhich can generally be determined by gel permeation chromatography using an RI detector, whereby the measurement is conveniently carried out against an external standard.) For their preparation, one can start in a known manner from ammonia, a monoalkylamine, a monoalkyl-monoalkanolamine or a monoalkyl-dialkanolamine or a mono-, di- or trialkanolamine, for example triethanolamine, methyl-, ethyl-, propyl- and isopropyl-diethanolamine, methyl-, ethyl-, propyl- and isopropyl-diisopropanolamine, tripropanolamine, triisopropanolamine, N,N-di-(2-hydroxyethyl)cyclohexylamine, N,N-di-(2-hydroxypropyl)cyclohexylamine, n-butylamine, n-hexylamine, n-octylamine, isopropylamine, sec-butylamine, tert-butylamine, cyclohexylamine, 2-ethylhexylamine, 2-phenylethylamine and mixtures thereof, which is reacted with an alkylene oxide, in particular selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, Butylene oxide and mixtures thereof, in particular with a mixture containing propylene oxide and preferably ethylene oxide, particularly preferably with propylene oxide.The polyalkoxylated amines obtainable in this way can be block or random structures. Particular preference is given, inter alia, to a polyalkoxylated amine obtainable by propoxylation of triethanolamine, preferably with a length of each of the three side arms of 15 propylene oxide units. Likewise preferred is a polyalkoxylated amine obtainable by propoxylation of triisopropanolamine, preferably with a length of each of the three side arms of 15 propylene oxide units. Also suitable are polyalkoxylated monoalkylamines having a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl group, wherein the alkoxylation is carried out with an alkylene oxide selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, and mixtures thereof, preferably with a mixture containing propylene oxide, particularly preferably with propylene oxide.Also preferred is a polyalkoxylated amine obtainable by propoxylation of tert-butylamine, preferably with a length of the two side arms of 12 propylene oxide units each.
[0030] Preferred polyalkoxylated amines satisfy the general formula (IV) in which R represents a linear, optionally branched or optionally cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 12 C atoms or a group -(CH2CHR'O) n'' -(CH2CHR''O) m'' -H, R' and R'' independently represent H, CH3 or CH2CH3, n, n' and n'' independently of one another represent numbers from 0 to 30, preferably from 0 to 10 and in particular 0 to 5, and m, m' and m'' independently of one another represent numbers from 0 to 30, preferably from 5 to 20 and in particular from 12 to 16, with the proviso that the sum n + n' + n'' + m + m' + m'' is at least 14, preferably in the range from 18 to 100 and in particular in the range from 20 to 70. Preferably, in the compounds of formula I, at least one of the radicals R' and R'' is a CH3 group.
[0031] Polyalkoxylated amines that are particularly preferred due to their cleaning performance are those obtainable by reacting triethanolamine with alkylene oxides, preferably by reacting triethanolamine with ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. Polyalkoxylated amines that are obtainable by reacting triethanolamine with ethylene oxide and subsequent reaction with propylene oxide are very particularly preferred.
[0032] A second essential component of detergents is the gluconic acid salt. The weight fraction of the gluconic acid salt in the total weight of the detergent is preferably 0.2 to 6 wt.% and in particular 0.4 to 4 wt.%. The addition of the gluconic acid salt has proven particularly advantageous for stabilizing the dye in the liquid detergent. Due to its availability and ease of processing, the use of sodium gluconate is particularly preferred.
[0033] Another key ingredient in dye stabilization is the use of antioxidants. An antioxidant is a molecule that can slow or prevent the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which in turn can trigger degradation chain reactions. Antioxidants stop these chain reactions by removing the free radical intermediates and inhibiting other oxidation reactions, as well as being oxidized themselves. Therefore, antioxidants are often reducing agents.The antioxidant is preferably selected from the group consisting of butylhydroxyltoluene (BHT), butylhydroxylanisole (BHA), trimethoxybenzoic acid (TMBA), α-, β-, λ- and δ-tocopherol (vitamin E acetate), 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox), 1,2, benzisothiazolin-3-one (Proxel GLX), tannic acid, galic acid, Tinoguard AO-6, Tinoguard TS, ascorbic acid, alkylated phenol, ethoxyquin 2,2,4-trimethyl,1-2-dihydroquinoline, lignosulfonic acid and its salts, benzofuran, benzopyran, tocopherol sorbate, butylhydroxylbenzoic acid and its salts, galic acid and its alkyl esters, uric acid, its salts and alkyl esters, Sorbic acid and its salts, dihydroxyfumaric acid and its salts and mixtures thereof.
[0034] Particularly preferred antioxidants are selected from the group of sulfites, hydrogen sulfites and disulfites, preferably from the group sodium sulfite, sodium hydrogen sulfite and sodium disulfite, in particular from the group containing sodium sulfite and sodium disulfite.
[0035] The use of antioxidants from the disulfite group, preferably from the sodium disulfite group, has proven to be particularly effective.
[0036] The weight proportion of the antioxidant in the total weight of the detergent is preferably 0.02 to 1 wt% and in particular 0.05 to 0.5 wt%.
[0037] As a further essential component, the detergent contains 5 to 25 wt.% organic solvent. The proportion of the organic solvent in the total weight of the detergent is preferably 7 to 20 wt.% and in particular 10 to 18 wt.%.
[0038] Preferred organic solvents are selected from the group consisting of ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol, butanols, glycol, propanediol, butanediol, methylpropanediol, glycerol, diglycol, propyl diglycol, butyl diglycol, hexylene glycol, ethylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol ethyl ether, ethylene glycol propyl ether, ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether, diethylene glycol ethyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol ethyl ether, propylene glycol propyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, methoxytriglycol, ethoxytriglycol, butoxytriglycol, 1-butoxyethoxy-2-propanol, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutanol, propylene glycol t-butyl ether, di-n-octyl ether and mixtures thereof, preferably from the group of propanediol, glycerin, and their mixtures. Any alkanolamine used to neutralize the anionic surfactant is not classified as organic solvents.
[0039] The detergent contains water. Preferred detergents are those containing 5 to 15, preferably 8 to 15, wt.% water based on their total weight.
[0040] The weight fraction of organic phosphonate in the total weight of the detergent is less than 0.1 wt.%. Preferred detergents contain no organic phosphonate, in particular no phosphonate at all. Examples of phosphonate compounds that are preferably not present in the detergent are phosphonates from the group of hydroxyalkane and / or aminoalkanephosphonates, in particular from the group of 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonate (HEDP), ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonate (EDTMP), and diethylenetriaminepentamethylenephosphonate (DTPMP).
[0041] As mentioned at the beginning, the detergents are characterized by surprisingly high color stability, even under demanding storage conditions. This applies to both dye-free and dye-containing detergents.
[0042] Preferred detergents contain dye as an optional component. The dye is preferably selected from the group of water-soluble dyes, in particular from the group of water-soluble acid dyes, water-soluble direct dyes, and water-soluble polymer dyes, in particular water-soluble polymer dyes.

[0056] Very particular preference is given to using ethoxylated polyethyleneimine with ethylene oxide segments which are bonded to the nitrogen atoms of the polyethyleneimine, the weight proportion of this ethoxylated polyethyleneimine in the total weight of the detergent preferably being 1 to 10 wt.%, preferably 1.2 to 7 wt.%, and in particular 1.5 to 4 wt.%.
[0057] The ethoxylated polyalkyleneimine is a polymer with a polyalkyleneimine backbone bearing polyalkoxy groups on the nitrogen atoms. The ethoxylated polyethyleneimine preferably has a polyethyleneimine backbone with a weight-average molecular weight in the range from 100 g / mol to 2000 g / mol, in particular from 400 g / mol to 800 g / mol. The weight-average molecular weight of the ethoxylated polyethyleneimine is preferably from 5000 g / mol to 20,000 g / mol, in particular from 8000 g / mol to 14,000 g / mol.
[0058] The polyalkyleneimine has primary amino functions at the ends and preferably both secondary and tertiary amino functions in the interior; if appropriate, it can also have only secondary amino functions in the interior, resulting in a linear rather than a branched-chain polyalkyleneimine. The ratio of primary to secondary amino groups in the polyalkyleneimine is preferably in the range from 1:0.5 to 1:1.5, in particular in the range from 1:0.7 to 1:1. The ratio of primary to tertiary amino groups in the polyalkyleneimine is preferably in the range from 1:0.2 to 1:1, in particular in the range from 1:0.5 to 1:0.8. The N atoms in the polyalkyleneimine are separated from one another by alkylene groups having 2 to 12 C atoms, in particular 2 to 6 C atoms, although not all alkylene groups need to have the same number of C atoms. Particularly preferred are ethylene groups, 1,2-propylene groups, 1,3-propylene groups, and mixtures thereof.The primary amino functions in the polyalkyleneimine can carry one or two polyalkoxy groups, and the secondary amino functions can carry one polyalkoxy group, although not every amino function needs to be substituted by an alkoxy group. The average number of alkoxy groups per primary and secondary amino function in the ethoxylated polyalkyleneimine is preferably 5 to 100, especially 10 to 50. The ethoxylated polyalkyleneimines are obtainable by reacting the polyalkyleneimines with ethylene oxide.
[0059] In summary, particularly preferred detergents contain washing or cleaning-active polymers from the group of carboxymethylcelluloses, non-ionic cellulose ethers, polyalkoxylated polyethyleneimines and (co)polymers of phthalic acid or terephthalic acid.
[0060] To further increase the cleaning performance, preferred detergents contain, based on their total weight, 0.5 to 7 wt.%, preferably 1.0 to 6 wt.% enzyme preparations.
[0061] In addition to the actual enzyme protein, an enzyme preparation comprises other components such as enzyme stabilizers, carrier materials, or fillers. The enzyme protein usually constitutes only a fraction of the total weight of the enzyme preparation. Preferably used enzyme preparations contain between 0.1 and 40 wt.%, preferably between 0.2 and 30 wt.%, more preferably between 0.4 and 20 wt.%, and most preferably between 0.8 and 10 wt.% of the enzyme protein. In such compositions, an enzyme stabilizer can be present in an amount of 0.05 to 35 wt.%, preferably 0.05 to 10 wt.%, based on the total weight of the enzyme composition.
[0062] The protein concentration can be determined using known methods, such as the BCA method (bicinchoninic acid; 2,2'-biquinolyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) or the biuret method. The active protein concentration is determined by titrating the active sites using a suitable irreversible inhibitor (for proteases, for example, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF)) and determining the residual activity.
[0063] The detergents preferably contain at least one enzyme preparation, particularly preferably at least three enzyme preparations of enzymes from the group consisting of lipase, mannanase, amylase, protease, cellulase, hexosaminidase, preparations of a pectinolytic enzyme and endoglucanase.
[0064] Detergents preferred in terms of their cleaning performance contain, based on their total weight, 0.1 to 0.4 wt.% and in particular 0.2 to 0.3 wt.% of hexosaminidase preparation, particularly preferably β-hexosaminidase preparation.
[0065] The term “hexosaminidase” refers to a polypeptide with hexosaminidase activity (hexosaminidases) and includes enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of N-acetyl-D-hexosamine or N-acetyl-glucosamine polymers.
[0066] Polypeptides with hexosaminidase activity include dispersins such as Dispersin B (DspB), which are β-N-acetylglucosamine dispersins belonging to the glycoside hydrolase 20 family. Dispersins are produced by the periodontal pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, a Gram-negative oral bacterium. Dispersin B is a β-hexosaminidase that specifically hydrolyzes β-1,6-glycosidic bonds of acetylglucosamine polymers. The use of hexosaminidases from the β-hexosaminidase group is preferred.
[0067] According to the invention, it is preferred if the detergent contains at least one lipase preparation. Lipases preferred according to the invention are selected from at least one enzyme from the group consisting of triacylglycerol lipase (EC 3.1.1.3), lipoprotein lipase (EC 3.1.1.34), and monoglyceride lipase (EC 3.1.1.23).
[0068] Preferred lipase preparations according to the invention are the commercial products marketed by Amano Pharmaceuticals under the names Lipase M-AP10®, Lipase LE®, and Lipase F® (also Lipase JV®). Lipase F®, for example, is naturally present in Rhizopus oryzae. Lipase M-AP10®, for example, is naturally present in Mucor javanicus.
[0069] A highly preferred lipase is commercially available under the trade name Lipex® from Novozymes (Denmark) and can be advantageously used in the detergents according to the invention. Lipase Lipex® 100 L is particularly preferred.
[0070] Preferred detergents are characterized in that they contain, based on their total weight, 0.01 to 1 wt.%, in particular 0.05 to 0.3 wt.%, of lipase preparation.
[0071] The detergents preferably contain at least one amylase, in particular an α-amylase. α-Amylases (EC 3.2.1.1) act as enzymes to hydrolyze internal α-1,4-glycosidic bonds of starch and starch-like polymers. Examples include the α-amylases from Bacillus licheniformis, B. amyloliquefaciens, and B. stearothermophilus, as well as their improved versions for use in detergents or cleaning agents. The enzyme from B. licheniformis is marketed by Novozymes under the trade name Termamyl. ® and by Genencor under the trade name Purastar ® ST. Further development products of these α-amylases are available from Novozymes under the trade name Duramyl ® and Termamyl ® ultra, from Genencor under the name Purastar ® OxAm and by Daiwa Seiko Inc., Tokyo, Japan, as Keistase ®The α-amylase from B. amyloliquefaciens is sold by Novozymes under the name BAN ® and derived variants of the α-amylase from B. stearothermophilus under the name BSG ® and Novamyl ® , also from Novozymes. Examples of α-amylases from other organisms are those sold under the trade name Fungamyl ® further developments of α-amylase from Aspergillus niger and A. oryzae available from Novozymes.
[0072] The weight proportion of the amylase preparation, in particular the α-amylase preparation, in the total weight of the detergent is preferably 0.1 to 2 wt.%, in particular 0.2 to 1 wt.%.
[0073] According to the invention, it is preferred if the detergent contains at least one protease as an enzyme. A protease is an enzyme that cleaves peptide bonds by hydrolysis. According to the invention, any of the enzymes from class EC 3.4 falls under this (comprising each of the thirteen subclasses falling under it). "Protease activity" is present according to the invention if the enzyme has proteolytic activity (EC 3.4). Various types of protease activity are known: The three main types are: trypsin-like, in which cleavage of the amide substrate occurs after the amino acids Arg or Lys at P1; chymotrypsin-like, in which cleavage occurs after one of the hydrophobic amino acids at P1; and elastase-like, in which cleavage of the amide substrate occurs after Ala at P1.
[0074] Surprisingly, it was found that a protease of the alkaline protease type from Bacillus lentus DSM 5483, or a sufficiently similar protease (in terms of sequence identity) that exhibits several of these modifications in combination, is particularly suitable for use in the detergents according to the invention and is advantageously stabilized therein. Advantages of using this protease thus arise, in particular, with regard to washing performance and / or stability.
[0075] Most preferably, the detergent according to the invention contains protease of the alkaline protease type from Bacillus lentus DSM 5483 or a sufficiently similar protease (based on sequence identity) which has several of these changes in combination,
[0076] The weight proportion of the protease preparation in the total weight of the detergent is preferably 0.2 to 4 wt% and in particular 0.4 to 3 wt%.
[0077] Preferred detergents further contain, as an optional ingredient, 0.05 to 2% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 0.4% by weight, of a preparation of a pectinolytic enzyme, based on their total weight.
[0078] For the purposes of the present invention, the pectinolytic enzymes include enzymes with the names pectinase, pectate lyase, pectin esterase, pectin demethoxylase, pectin methoxylase, pectin methylesterase, pectase, pectin methylesterase, pectin esterase, pectin pectyl hydrolase, pectin depolymerase, 20 endopolygalacturonase, pectolase, pectin hydrolase, pectin polygalacturonase, endo-polygalacturonase, poly-α-1,4-galacturonide glycanohydrolase, endogalacturonase, endo-D-galacturonase, galacturan 1,4-α-galacturonidase, exopolygalacturonase, poly(galacturonate) hydrolase, exo-D-galacturonase, Exo-D-galacturonanase, exopoly-D-galacturonase, exo-poly-α-galacturonosidase, exopolygalacturonosidase, or exopolygalacturanosidase. The use of pectate lyases is particularly preferred.
[0079] Within the EC classification of enzymes, the numerical classification system for enzymes, the pectinolytic enzymes belong in particular to the enzyme classes (Enzyme Commission number) EC 3.1.1.11, EC 3.2.1.15, EC 3.2.1.67 and EC 3.2.1.82 and therefore belong to the third of the six main enzyme classes, the 10 hydrolases (EC3), of which the glycosylases (EC 3.2.-.-) and, in turn, the glycosidases (EC 3.2.1.-), i.e. enzymes that hydrolyze O- and / or S-glycosyl compounds. Pectinolytic enzymes are therefore particularly effective against residues on dishes that contain pectic acid and / or other galacturonans and catalyze their hydrolysis.
[0080] Pectate lyases within the meaning of the invention are enzymes which catalyze the non-hydrolytic cleavage of pectate by an endo-mechanism.
[0081] Examples of suitable pectinolytic enzymes are the enzymes and enzyme preparations available under the trade names Gamanase®, Pektinex AR®, X-Pect® or Pectaway® from Novozymes, under the trade names Rohapect UF®, Rohapect TPL®, Rohapect PTE100®, Rohapect MPE®, 30 Rohapect MA plus HC, Rohapect DA12L®, Rohapect 10L®, Rohapect B1L® from AB Enzymes and under the trade name Pyrolase® from Diversa Corp., San Diego, CA, USA.
[0082] As a preferred component, the detergent contains 0.01 to 1% by weight, preferably 0.02 to 0.3% by weight of a mannanase preparation.
[0083] A mannanase catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-D-mannosidic bonds in mannans, galactomannans, glucomannans, and galactoglucomannans. These mannanases are classified as EC 3.2.1.78 according to enzyme nomenclature.
[0084] As a further preferred ingredient, the detergents contain a cellulase preparation. Synonymous terms can be used for cellulases, in particular endoglucanase, endo-1,4-beta-glucanase, carboxymethylcellulase, endo-1,4-beta-D-glucanase, beta-1,4-glucanase, beta-1,4-endoglucan hydrolase, celludextrinase, or avicelase. The decisive factor for whether an enzyme is a cellulase within the meaning of the invention is its ability to hydrolyze 1,4-β-D-glucosidic bonds in cellulose.
[0085] Cellulases (endoglucanases, EG) suitable according to the invention include, for example, fungal, endoglucanase (EG)-rich compositions which are offered by the company Novozymes under the trade name Celluzyme®. The products Endolase® and Carezyme®, also available from Novozymes, are based on the 50 kD EG and the 43 kD EG from Humicola insolens DSM 1800, respectively. Other commercial products from this company that can be used are Cellusoft®, Renozyme® and Celluclean®. Also suitable are cellulases available from AB Enzymes, Finland, under the trade names Ecostone® and Biotouch®, which are based at least in part on the 20 kD EG from Melanocarpus. Other cellulases from AB Enzymes are Econase® and Ecopulp®. Other suitable cellulases are those from Bacillus sp. CBS 670.93 and CBS 669.93, with the one from Bacillus sp. CBS 670.93 is available from Danisco / Genencor under the trade name Puradax®. Other commercial products available from Danisco / Genencor are "Genencor detergent cellulase L" and IndiAge®Neutra.
[0086] The weight proportion of the cellulase preparation in the total weight of the detergent is preferably 0.01 to 1 wt.%, preferably 0.05 to 0.3 wt.%.
[0087] The composition of some preferred detergents can be found in the following tables (The data are in wt. % based on the total weight of the preparation unless otherwise stated. The symbol "--" stands for "free from".) The detergents are packaged in the form of detergent portion units in which the detergent preparation is completely enclosed in a water-soluble film. formula 1 Formula 2 Formula 3 Formula 4 anionic surfactant 22 to 50 27 to 45 27 to 45 32 to 40 Gluconic acid salt 0.1 to 8 0.2 to 6 0.2 to 6 0.4 to 4 Antioxidants 0.01 to 2 0.02 to 1 0.02 to 1 0.05 to 0.5 organic solvent 5 to 25 7 to 20 10 to 18 10 to 18 Water 0.1 to 15 5 to 15 8 to 15 8 to 15 organic phosphonate <0,1 -

[0108] After production, the dye-free liquid detergents were stored at 40°C for a period of 4 weeks. The color of the liquid detergents was determined immediately after production, as well as after 2 and 4 weeks. To determine the Klett color number, 3 ml of the undiluted samples were filled into 10 x 10 x 45 mm polystyrene cuvettes (2 x optical) and measured in a colorimeter (Dr. Lange Lico 3000 spectral colorimeter). The color number increases with increasing color. Detergents with a Klett color number >1000 are not unusable.

[0109] It can be seen from the measured values that the detergents of the composition E1 according to the invention are distinguished from the comparative compositions V1 to V4 by a low color number and thus by a weaker coloration both at the time of their production and after storage at elevated temperature.
[0110] Furthermore, the detergents of the composition E1 according to the invention exhibit a lower relative color change after storage compared to the original color. QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
