AI Technical Summary
Consumers are often dissatisfied with the perfume intensity of their fabric after washing, leading to overuse of fabric conditioners, which can make towels hydrophobic and less efficient in water uptake.
A composition comprising hydrolysed protein and perfume is used in the fabric washing process to enhance perfume performance, particularly through the use of cationically modified wheat protein hydrolysate and a combination of free and encapsulated perfume components.
The composition improves perfume intensity on washed fabrics, providing a stronger scent perception during and after drying, measured by consumer ratings or analytical methods like Headspace Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectroscopy.
