[0002] MALODOR CONTROL COMPOSTTONS COMPRISING BACTERIAL FERMENTATE EXTRACTS AND METHODS RELATED THEREOF
[0003] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0004] This application claims priority to U. S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 733,611, filed December 13, 2024, the entire content which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0005] FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The present disclosure is directed towards malodor control compositions comprising a bacterial fermentate extract, or fraction thereof, and a functionalized polysaccharide and methods of use thereof. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to compositions containing bacterial fermentate extracts, or fractions thereof, together with functional polysaccharides and optionally enzymes that are suitable for preventing, reducing, or removing a malodor of fabrics and hard surfaces and / or for use in detergents, as well as in a variety of other applications.
[0007] BACKGROUND
[0008] Trends toward cold water washing and synthetic athletic wear are driving a need for detergents that eliminate malodor, while at the same time the industry is moving away from laundry powders where traditional oxygen bleach was feasible. Human sebum organic soil buildup on textiles and fabrics over multiple wearing, storing, washing, and drying cycles is a substrate for malodor development and can be difficult to remove in low-temperature laundering.
[0009] Numerous methods have been developed to prevent or reduce malodors in a variety of circumstances. For example, conventional perfumes including a variety of fragrance materials are developed to mask malodors, which generally function via two mechanisms: first, the fragrance materials blend with the malodor compound to provide a different and more desirable aroma; and second, the fragrance materials are employed in a large quantity to overwhelm the malodor compound. Cleaning compositions for dishwashing applications typically comprise perfume technology that provides a pleasant scent and masks malodors associated with soiled dishware. However, not all odors are effectively controlled by products on the market as amine-based malodors such as fish malodors, and sulfur-based malodors such as garlic and onion are IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0010] difficult to combat. The difficulty in overcoming a broad range of malodors has spawned a diverse assortment of products to neutralize, mask, or contain the malodors. There remains a need for a dishwashing detergent composition that cleans dishware and is effective on a broad range of malodors, including amine-based and sulfur-based malodors, while not overpowering malodors with an overwhelming perfume.
[0011] Furthermore, there is a need in the industry for malodor control and cleaning compositions that include renewable ingredients, such as ingredients that are not petroleum based. Cleaning compositions developed for laundry and dishwashing applications typically comprise one or more enzymes to provide soil removal or fabric care benefits. Although enzymes are produced by fermentation using renewable feedstocks, their cleaning action generally requires the presence of a surfactant and a dispersing polymer to solubilize the breakdown products of a soil. Surfactants may act as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants. Surfactants may end up in large amounts in land and / or water ecosystems. This can be problematic as surfactants may increase the diffusion of other environmental contaminants and increase the exposure of animal and plant life with the latter. Despite exposure to surfactants, proteases, and amylases from typical laundry detergents, malodor compounds persist in washing machines, hard surfaces, fabrics and textiles and contribute to hygiene and odor problems. Hard surface cleaning compositions typically comprise surfactants which may aid in stain and / or soil removal, such as fatty stains / soils.
[0012] More effective solutions for preventing, reducing, or removing a malodor and improving freshness in cleaning applications, such as laundry, are thus needed.

[0057] In one aspect of the invention, fermentates are provided.
[0058] As used herein, the term "fermentate" is to be understood as a composition (complex mixture) produced by propagating living microorganisms (microbial strains) in a nutrient medium. The fermentate may include a cellular mass component from said microorganisms, unspent media components, and metabolites (i.e., unused substrates and / or fermentation endproducts). As used herein, a “cellular mass component” refers to any mixture of proteins, lipids (i.e., membranes), carbohydrates, exopolysaccharides, metabolites, etc. from the propagated microorganism. For example, as a microorganism grows it produces new cells that generally include additional cellular mass such as, without limitation, cell membranes, nucleic acids (i.e., DNA and / or RNA) internal subcellular structures, polysaccharides, and proteins (i.e., membranebound, secreted, and / or intracellular).
[0059] Fermentates for use in the present invention include fermentates from bacteria.
[0060] The growth medium used for preparing the fermentate is any medium comprising necessary nutrients suitable for propagating the microorganism(s) suitable for use in the present IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0061] invention. Suitable nutrients include but are not limited to amino peptides, peptides, yeast extract, salts, sugars, carbohydrates and / or vitamins. The medium can be based on dairy products, such as milk, cereals, fruits and / or vegetables.
[0062] Fermentates can be further concentrated prior to be included in a composition to obtain an effective amount of actives in said fermentate. Fermentate extracts can be produced from the fermentates as described herein. Fermentates can be spray-dried or lyophilized prior to be included in a composition.
[0063] It will be apparent that the fermentate may be used directly in the compositions and methods of the present invention, or that one or more fractions or extracts from said fermentate comprising actives may be isolated form the fermentate by any suitable means prior to use.
[0064] In one aspect of the invention, fermentate extracts are provided. Fermentate extracts for use in the present invention include fermentates from bacteria.
[0065] As used herein, the term "fermentate extract” refers to an extract or fraction from a fermentate, wherein the fermentate was produced by propagating living microorganisms (microbial strains) in a nutrient medium as described above. In one aspect the fermentate extract is an extract of a fermentate produced by propagating of a bacterial species.
[0066] In one aspect, the fermentate extract is a cell free supernatant of a fermentate. As used herein, a “cell free supernatant” / ‘fermentate supernatant”, “cell free fermentate” or “fermentate filtrate” are used interchangeably and refer to a fermentate extract that is substantially free of viable cells, such as a supernatant of a cell culture of at least one microorganism from which the cells have been removed. It is understood that cells can be removed from the cell culture by any method known in the art and that such removal of cells (such as through centrifugation, fdtration) may still result in cell free supernatants that can comprise a trace amount of cells or cell debris. Methods for separating cells from growth media are well known in the art and can rely upon physical methods, for example, centrifugation to produce a cell pellet and a culture supernatant, fdtration, ultrafdtration, tangential flow-filtration, normal flow fdtration or reverse osmosis. Alternatively, or in addition, the separation method can be ligand-based and include, for example, an antibody that specifically binds to bacteria. The antibody can be coupled to a solid support such as a magnetic bead. In one embodiment the cell free supernatant is obtained by fdtration or centrifugation of the culture medium in which bacterial cells were cultivated.
[0067] In one aspect, the cell free supernatant is obtained by fdtration or centrifugation of a IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0068] bacterial fermentate. In one aspect, cells were removed from the fermentate by pelleting cells (centrifuge at 4,000 to 8,000 x g) and passing the supernatant through a 0.2 pM filter, to obtain an essentially cell free supernatant.
[0069] In one aspect, the fermentate extract for use in the present invention is a fermentate extract consisting essentially of cell free fermentate. The term "consisting essentially of in the context of the fermentate includes that at least 90% of the fermentate have the indicated property (e.g. being cell free fermentate). Suitably at least 95% have the indicated property. Suitably at least 97% have the indicated property. Suitably at least 99% have the indicated property. In some embodiments at least 100% have the indicated property.
[0070] The fermentate extract for use in the compositions and methods and / or uses of the present invention may be substantially free of viable cells, typically containing zero (or substantially zero) viable cells / mL fermentate.
[0071] In another aspect, the fermentate extract is an extract of a cell pellet obtained from a fermentate by pelleting the cells. Cells pellets can be obtained by centrifugation of the fermentate and removing the cell free supernatant.
[0072] In one aspect, the cell pellet extract is obtained from a fermentate by pelleting the cells (centrifuge at 4,000 to 8,000 x g) and pouring off the supernatant, to leave behind the portion of cell pellet. The pellet is resuspended in acidic water (1 / 10 v / v) to a pH 2.0 - 4.0, vortexed, pelleted by centrifugation (4,000 to 8,000 x g) and the extract liquid is passed through a 0.2 pM fdter. Optionally, the cell pellet can be resuspended in alkaline water (1 / 10 v / v) at a pH higher than 8.5. The cell pellet can be suspended in any solution or under any condition that produces an effective amount of the fermentate extract solution,
[0073] Starting from a cell pellet has the advantage that the volume of the resuspension liquid (extract volume) can be determined to produce an effective amount of the active extract and / or further concentrated to produce an effective amount of the active extract. Furthermore, resuspending the pellet in water or non-fermentation broth liquids, results in reducing or eliminating the non-active ingredients of the fermentation broth which may interfere with the actives of the cell pellet extract.
[0074] In another aspect, fermentate extracts are produced by combining the cell free supernatant fraction described above with the cell pellet extract described above.
[0075] In yet another aspect, the fermentate extract is a fermentate extract that was prepared by IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0076] first adjusting the pH of the fermentate (total fermentation broth) to a pH 2.0 - 4.0 prior to pelleting out the insoluble cellular matter and optionally filtering supernatant through a 0.2 pM filter to yield a cell free supernatant (also referred to as “whole broth fermentate extract”). The acid to make the pH adjustment can be hydrochloric acid, although any acid capable of adjusting the fermentation broth pH to 2.0-4.0 can be used. In preparing the whole broth fermentate extract of the bacterial fermentate in this way, it comprises the actives present in both the cell free supernatant and cell pellet extract described herein.
[0077] Alternatively, the fermentate is a fermentate extract that was prepared by first adjusting the pH of the fermentate (total fermentation broth) to an alkaline pH prior to pelleting out the insoluble cellular matter and optionally filtering supernatant through a 0.2 pM filter to yield a cell free supernatant (also referred to as “whole broth fermentate extract”).
[0078] In one aspect the fermentate extract is obtained from a fermentate that was produced with a nutrient medium having a pH between 2-12. In one aspect the fermentate extract is obtained from a fermentate wherein the pH of the fermentate was adjusted to a pH between 2-12, prior to obtaining the fermentate extract.
[0079] Fermentate extracts can be further concentrated or purified prior to be included in a composition to obtain an effective amount of the fermentate extract. Fermentate extracts can be spray-dried or lyophilized prior to be include in a composition.
[0080] It is also understood that production of a fermentate and fermentate extract can vary from batch to batch (fermentation to fermentation), which can result in different efficacies of the fermentate extract.
[0081] In one embodiment, the fermentate, fermentate extract, or composition comprising the fermentate extract is formulated in a dry formulation or a liquid formulation.
[0082] In one embodiment, the fermentate, fermentate extract, or composition comprising the fermentate extract is formulated in at least one form selected from the group consisting of a loose or compact powder, a granule, a liquid suspension or solution, a spray solution, or any combination thereof.
[0083] In one aspect the granule comprises the fermentate extract described herein at about 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25.0%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35.0%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, IFF101172-WO-PCT

[0085] Granules can be produced by any means known in the art, such as but not excluding, spray drying fermentate extract on a core or spray drying the fermentate to form a granule itself.
[0086] In one aspect the granule is a readily dispersible layered granule. The layered granule can comprise a core surrounded by a coating layer that includes at least one effective amount of bacterial fermentate extract distributed within a protectant matrix, and wherein the core is water-soluble and fast dissolving. The protectant matrix can include at least one polyhydroxy compound and at least one phosphate compound.

[0091] In some embodiments, the functional polysaccharide is a hydrocolloid thickener. A IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0092] hydrocolloid thickener can be selected from the group of xanthan gum, galactomannans, guar, alginate, carrageenan, starch, gellan, carboxymethyl cellulose and mixtures thereof.
[0093] In other embodiments, the functional polysaccharide is a glucan derivative that can comprise one or more polyether groups, one or more polyamine groups, or a combination of polyether and polyamine groups. The functional polysaccharide can be a glucan derivative that is comprised of a glucan modified with at least one hydrophobic group, or one hydrophilic group, or both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups. The functional polysaccharide can be a glucan substituted with at least one positively charged organic group. A glucan is a polymer comprising glucose monomeric units linked together by alpha-glycosidic linkages. Depending upon with glucan is being described, the alpha glycosidic linkages can be 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,6-, 1,2,6-, 1,3,6-, 1,4,6- or various combinations thereof. Glucan can be made economically from renewably sourced feedstocks. It can be enzymatically produced from sucrose according to the procedures described in WO2015183714, WO2015183722 and WO2015183729.
[0094] The terms “glycosidic linkage”, “glycosidic bond”, “linkage” and the like are used interchangeably herein and refer to the covalent bonds connecting the sugar monomers within a saccharide compound (oligosaccharides and / or polysaccharides). The term “alpha- 1,2-glycosidic linkage” as used herein refers to the type of covalent bond that joins alpha-D-glucose molecules to each other through carbons 1 and 2 on adjacent alpha-D-glucose rings. The term “alpha-1, 3-glycosidic linkage” as used herein refers to the type of covalent bond that joins alpha-D-glucose molecules to each other through carbons 1 and 3 on adjacent alpha-D-glucose rings. The term “alpha-l,4-glycosidic linkage” as used herein refers to the type of covalent bond that joins alphaD-glucose molecules to each other through carbons 1 and 4 on adjacent alpha-D-glucose rings. The term “alpha- 1,6-glycosidic linkage” as used herein refers to the covalent bond that joins alpha-D-glucose molecules to each other through carbons 1 and 6 on adjacent alpha-D-glucose rings. The glycosidic linkages of a glucan polymer herein can also be referred to as “glucosidic linkages”. Herein, “alpha-D-glucose” will be referred to as “glucose”.
[0095] The glycosidic linkage profde of an alpha-glucan herein can be determined using any method known in the art. For example, a linkage profile can be determined using methods using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (e.g.,13C NMR and / or 'H NMR). These and other methods that can be used are disclosed in, for example, Food Carbohydrates: Chemistry, Physical Properties, and Applications (S. W. Cui, Ed., Chapter 3, S. W. Cui, Structural Analysis IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0096] of Polysaccharides, Taylor & Francis Group LLC, Boca Raton, FL, 2005), which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0097] The “molecular weight” of alpha-glucan polymers herein can be represented as weightaverage molecular weight (Mw) or number-average molecular weight (Mn), the units of which are in Daltons (Da) or grams / mole. Alternatively, the molecular weight of alpha-glucan polymers can be represented as DPw (weight average degree of polymerization) or DPn (number average degree of polymerization). The molecular weight of smaller alpha-glucan polymers such as oligosaccharides can optionally be provided as “DP” (degree of polymerization), which simply refers to the number of glucoses comprised within the alpha-glucan; “DP” can also characterize the molecular weight of a polymer on an individual molecule basis. Various means are known in the art for calculating these various molecular weight measurements such as with high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), or gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
[0098] As used herein, Mw can be calculated as Mw = ZNiMi2 / SNiMi; where Mi is the molecular weight of an individual chain i and Ni is the number of chains of that molecular weight. Besides SEC, the Mw of a polymer can be determined by other techniques such as static light scattering, mass spectrometry, MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization time-of-flight), small angle X-ray or neutron scattering, or ultracentrifugation. As used herein, Mn can be calculated as Mn = SNiMi / ENi where Mi is the molecular weight of a chain i and Ni is the number of chains of that molecular weight. Besides SEC, the Mn of a polymer can be determined by various colligative property methods such as vapor pressure osmometry, end-group determination by spectroscopic methods such as proton NMR, proton FTIR, or UV-Vis. As used herein, DPn and DPw can be calculated from Mw and Mn, respectively, by dividing them by molar mass of the one monomer unit Mi. In the case of unsubstituted glucan polymer, Mi = 162. In the case of a substituted (derivatized) glucan polymer, Mi = 162 + Mf x DoS, where Mf is molar mass of the substituting group, and DoS is degree of substitution (average number of substituted groups per one glucose unit of the glucan polymer).
[0099] The terms “alpha-glucan”, “alpha-glucan polymer” and the like are used interchangeably herein.

In some embodiments, the alpha-glucan derivatives that can be used in the compositions herein can comprise a “branching structure” (branched structure, dendritic). It is contemplated that in this structure, long chains branch from other long chains, likely in an iterative manner (e.g., a long chain can be a branch from another long chain, which in turn can itself be a branch from another long chain, and so on). It is contemplated that long chains in this structure can be “similar in length”, meaning that the length (DP [degree of polymerization]) of at least 70% of all the long chains in a branching structure is within plus / minus 30% of the mean length of all the long chains of the branching structure.

[0111] In some embodiments, the alpha- 1,3 -glucan derivative for use in the malodor control compositions herein can comprise about, or at least about, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, or 100% alpha-1,3 glycosidic linkages. In some aspects, accordingly, insoluble alpha- 1,3 -glucan has less than about 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0% glycosidic linkages that are not alpha- 1,3. Typically, the glycosidic linkages that are not alpha-1,3 are mostly or entirely alpha-1,6. In certain embodiments, insoluble alpha- 1,3 -glucan has no branch points or less than about 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1% branch points as a percent of the glycosidic linkages in the glucan.
[0112] The DPw, DPn, or DP of the alpha- 1,3 -glucan derivative for use in the malodor control compositions herein in certain aspects can be about, or at least about, or less than about, 11, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 110, 125, 150, 175, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, or 1650. DPw, DPn, or DP can optionally be expressed as a range between any two of these values. Merely as examples, the DPw, DPn, or DP of alpha-1,3-glucan herein can be about 400-1650, 500-1650, 600-1650, 700-1650, 400-1250, 500-1250, 600-1250, 700-1250, 400-1000, 500-1000, 600-1000, 700-1000, 400-900, 500-900, 600-900, 700-900, 11-25, 12-25, 11-22, 12-22, 11-20, 12-20, 20-300, 20-200, 20-150, 20-100, 20-75, 30- IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0113] 300, 30-200, 30-150, 30-100, 30-75, 50-300, 50-200, 50-150, 50-100, 50-75, 75-300, 75-200, 75-150, 75-100, 100-300, 100-200, 100-150, 150-300, 150-200, 200-300, 15-100, 25-100, 35-100, 15-80, 25-80, 35-80, 15-60, 25-60, 35-60, 15-55, 25-55, 35-55, 40-100, 40-80, 40-60, 40-55, 40-50, 45-60, 45-55, or 45-50. DP can be referenced, for example, for alpha- 1,3 -glucan of relatively low molecular weight such as 200, 100, 50, or less DP.
[0114] In some embodiments, the malodor control compositions provided herein can comprise an alpha- 1,4-glucan derivative. An alpha- 1,4-glucan can be produced, for example, by an alpha-1,4 glucan phosphorylase reaction. In some aspects, about, or at least about, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, or 100% of the constituent glycosidic linkages of alpha- 1,4-glucan herein are contemplated to be alpha- 1,4- linkages. In some aspects, accordingly, alpha- 1,4-glucan has about, or less than about, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0% glycosidic linkages that are not alpha-1,4. It should be understood that the higher the percentage of alpha- 1,4 linkages present in alpha- 1,4-glucan, the greater the probability that the alpha- 1,4-glucan is linear, since there are lower occurrences of certain linkages forming branch points in the polymer. Thus, alpha- 1,4-glucan with 100% alpha- 1,4 linkages is completely linear. In certain embodiments, alpha- 1,4-glucan has no branch points or less than about 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1% branch points (typically beta-1,6) as a percent of the glycosidic linkages in the polymer. In some aspects, a given linkage profde characterizes that of the alpha- 1,4-glucan as synthesized from an acceptor (i.e., the linkage profile does not include the linkage profile of the acceptor). In aspects in which an alpha- 1,4-glucan itself (e.g., alpha-1,4-glucan oligosaccharide) is used as the initial acceptor molecule, any of the foregoing linkage percentages can optionally characterize the entire product.
[0115] Alpha- 1,4-glucan herein (typically insoluble) is contemplated to have a molecular weight in DPw or DPn of about, or at least about, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, or 1000, or a range between any two of these values such as 200-600, 200-500, 200-450, 250-600, 250-500, 250-450, 300-600, 300-500, 300-450, 350-600, 350-500, or 350-450, for example. In some aspects, a given molecular weight characterizes that of the alpha- 1,4-glucan as synthesized from an acceptor (i.e., the molecular weight does not include the molecular weight of the acceptor). In aspects in which an alpha- 1,4-glucan itself (e.g., alpha- 1,4-glucan oligosaccharide) is used as the initial acceptor molecule, any of the foregoing molecular weight disclosures can optionally characterize the entire product.

[0116] The glucans for use in the malodor control compositions provided herein, including those with 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,6-, 1,2,6-, 1,3,6-, 1,4,6- or various combinations thereof alpha glycosidic linkages, can be in any derivatized form, preferably derivatized to improve their functionality. For example, the glucan derivative for use in the compositions herein can be a neutral or anionic ether, a cationic ether, a mixed ether (e.g. amphiphilic), or an ester derivative.
[0117] In some embodiments, the glucan derivative ( functional polysaccharide) for use in the malodor control compositions herein include a neutral or anionic ether. An organic group that is in ether-linkage to a glucan herein can be an alkyl group, for example. An alkyl group can be a linear, branched, or cyclic (“cycloalkyl” or “cycloaliphatic”) in some aspects. In some aspects, an alkyl group is a Ci to Cis alkyl group, such as a C4 to Cis alkyl group, or a Ci to C10 alkyl group (in “C#”, # refers to the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group). An alkyl group can be, for example, a methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tridecanyl, tetradecanyl, pentadecanyl, hexadecanyl, heptadecanyl, or octadecanyl group; such alkyl groups typically are linear. One or more carbons of an alkyl group can be substituted with another alkyl group in some aspects, making the alkyl group branched. Suitable examples of branched chain isomers of linear alkyl groups include isopropyl, iso-butyl, tertbutyl, sec-butyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, isohexyl, neohexyl, 2-ethylhexyl, 2-propylheptyl, and isooctyl. In some aspects, an alkyl group is a cycloalkyl group such as a cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, cyclononyl, or cyclodecyl group.
[0118] In some aspects, an organic group that is in ether-linkage to a glucan for use herein can be a substituted alkyl group in which there is a substitution on one or more carbons of the alkyl group. The substitution(s) can be one or more hydroxyl, aldehyde, ketone, and / or carboxyl groups. For example, a substituted alkyl group may be a hydroxy alkyl group, dihydroxy alkyl group, or carboxy alkyl group. Examples of suitable hydroxy alkyl groups are hydroxymethyl (CH2OH), hydroxyethyl (e g., CH2CH2OH, CH(OH)CH3), hydroxypropyl (e g., CH2CH2CH2OH, CH2CH(OH)CH3, CH(OH)CH2CH3), hydroxybutyl and hydroxypentyl groups. Other examples include dihydroxy alkyl groups (diols) such as dihydroxymethyl, dihydroxyethyl (e.g., -CH(OH)CH2OH), dihydroxypropyl (e.g., CH2CH(OH)CH2OH, CH(OH)CH(OH)CH3), dihydroxybutyl and dihydroxypentyl groups. Examples of suitable carboxy alkyl groups are carboxymethyl (CH2COOH), carboxyethyl (e g., CH2CH2COOH, CH(COOH)CH3), carboxypropyl (e g., CH2CH2CH2COOH, CH2CH(COOH)CH3, CH(COOH)CH2CH3), IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0119] carboxybutyl and carboxypentyl groups.
[0120] In some aspects, one or more carbons of an alkyl group that is in ether-linkage to a glucan derivative for use herein can have a substitution(s) with another alkyl group. Examples of such substituent alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl and propyl groups. To illustrate, an organic group can be CH(CH3)CH2CH3 or CH2CH(CH3)CH3, for example, which are both propyl groups having a methyl substitution.
[0121] As should be clear from the above examples of various substituted alkyl groups, a substitution (e.g., hydroxy or carboxy group) on an alkyl group in some aspects can be at the terminal carbon atom of the alkyl group, where the terminal carbon group is opposite the side of the alkyl group that is in ether linkage to a glucose monomeric unit of a glucan ether compound. An example of this terminal substitution is the hydroxypropyl group CH2CH2CH2OH.
[0122] Alternatively, a substitution can be on an internal carbon atom of an alkyl group. An example of an internal substitution is the hydroxypropyl group CH2CH(OH)CH3. An alkyl group can have one or more substitutions, which may be the same (e.g., two hydroxyl groups [dihydroxy]) or different (e.g., a hydroxyl group and a carboxyl group).
[0123] Optionally, an etherified alkyl group herein can contain one or more heteroatoms such as oxygen, sulfur, and / or nitrogen within the hydrocarbon chain. Examples include alkyl groups containing an alkyl glycerol alkoxylate moiety (-alkylene-OCH2CH(OH)CH2OH), a moiety derived from ring-opening of 2-ethylhexl glycidyl ether, and a tetrahydropyranyl group (e.g., as derived from dihydropyran).
[0124] In some aspects, an etherified organic group is a C2 to Cis (e.g., C4 to Cis) alkenyl group, and the alkenyl group may be linear, branched, or cyclic. As used herein, the term “alkenyl group” refers to a hydrocarbon group containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond.
[0125] Examples of alkenyl groups include ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl, hexenyl, cyclohexyl, and allyl groups. In some aspects, one or more carbons of an alkenyl group can have substitution(s) with an alkyl group, hydroxyalkyl group, or dihydroxy alkyl group such as disclosed herein. Examples of such a substituent alkyl group include methyl, ethyl, and propyl groups. Optionally, an alkenyl group herein can contain one or more heteroatoms such as oxygen, sulfur, and / or nitrogen within the hydrocarbon chain; for example, an alkenyl group can contain a moiety derived from ring-opening of an allyl glycidyl ether.
[0126] In some aspects, an etherified organic group is a C2 to Ci8 alkynyl group. As used herein, IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0127] the term “alkynyl” refers to linear and branched hydrocarbon groups containing at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. An alkynyl group herein can be, for example, propynyl, butynyl, pentynyl, or hexynyl. An alkynyl group can optionally be substituted, such as with an alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, and / or dihydroxy alkyl group. Optionally, an alkynyl group can contain one or more heteroatoms such as oxygen, sulfur, and / or nitrogen within the hydrocarbon chain.
[0128] In some aspects, an etherified organic group is a polyether comprising repeat units of (-CH2CH2O-), (-CH2CH(CH3)O-), or a mixture thereof, wherein the total number of repeat units is in the range of 2 to 100. In some aspects, an organic group is a polyether group comprising (-CH2CH2O-)3-100 or (-CH2CH2O-)4-100. In some aspects, an organic group is a polyether group comprising (CH2CH(CH3)O)3-100 or (CH2CH(CH3)O)4-100. As used herein for a polyether group, the subscript designating a range of values designates the potential number of repeat units; for example, (CH2CH2O)2-100means a polyether group containing 2 to 100 repeat units. In some aspects, a polyether group herein can be capped such as with a methoxy, ethoxy, or propoxy group.
[0129] In some aspects, an etherified organic group is an aryl group. As used herein, the term “aryl” means an aromatic / carbocyclic group having a single ring (e.g., phenyl), multiple rings (e.g., biphenyl), or multiple condensed rings in which at least one is aromatic, (e.g.,
[0130] 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl, naphthyl, anthryl, or phenanthryl), which is optionally mono-, di-, or trisubstituted with alkyl groups, such as a methyl, ethyl, or propyl group. In some aspects, an aryl group is a Ce to C20 aryl group. In some aspects, an aryl group is a methyl-substituted aryl group such as a tolyl (-C6H4CH3) or xylyl [-CeF^CFfc^] group. A tolyl group can be a p-tolyl group, for instance. In some aspects, an aryl group is a benzyl group (-CH^-phenyl). A benzyl group herein can optionally be substituted (typically on its phenyl ring) with one or more of a halogen, cyano, ester, amide, ether, alkyl (e.g., Ci to Ce), aryl (e g., phenyl), alkenyl (e.g., C2 to Ce), or alkynyl (e.g., C2 to Ce) group.
[0131] In some embodiments, the glucan derivative for use in the malodor control compositions herein include a cationic ether derivative. That is, an organic group that can be in an ether-linkage to a glucan for use in the compositions herein can be a positively charged (cationic) group, for example. A positively charged organic group as used herein refers to a chain of one or more carbons (“carbon chain”) that has one or more hydrogens substituted with another atom or functional group (i.e., a “substituted alkyl group”), where one or more of the substitutions is with IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0132] a positively charged group. Where a positively charged organic group has a substitution in addition to a substitution with a positively charged group, such additional substitution may be with one or more hydroxyl groups, oxygen atoms (thereby forming an aldehyde or ketone group), alkyl groups, and / or additional positively charged groups. A positively charged organic group has a net positive charge since it comprises one or more positively charged groups. The terms “positively charged group”, “positively charged ionic group”, “cationic group” and the like are used interchangeably herein. A positively charged group comprises a cation (a positively charged ion). Examples of positively charged groups include substituted ammonium groups, carbocation groups and acyl cation groups.
[0133] A positively charged group can be, for example, any of those disclosed in U. S. Pat. Appl. Publ. No. 2016 / 0311935, which is incorporated herein by reference. A positively charged group can comprise a substituted ammonium group, for example. Examples of substituted ammonium groups are primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary ammonium groups, such as can be represented by Structures I and II. An ammonium group can be substituted with alkyl group(s) and / or aryl group(s), for example. There can be one, two, or three alkyl and / or aryl groups in some aspects. An alkyl group of a substituted ammonium group herein can be a C1-C30 alkyl group, for example, such as a methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, octadecyl, nonadecyl, icosyl, henicosyl, docosyl, tricosyl, tetracosyl, C25, C26, C27, C28, C29, or C30 group; each alkyl group can be the same or different is aspects with two or three alkyl substitutions. An alkyl group can be C1-C24, Ci-Cis, C6-C20, Cio-Cie, or C1-C4 in some aspects. An aryl group of a substituted ammonium group herein can be as disclosed above, for example. In some additional aspects, an aryl group can be a C6-C24, C12-C24, or Ce-Cis aryl group that is optionally substituted with alkyl substituents (e.g., any alkyl group disclosed herein).
[0134] A secondary ammonium glucan ether compound for use in the compositions herein can comprise a monoalkyl ammonium group in some aspects (e.g., based on Structure I). A secondary ammonium glucan ether compound can be a monoalkylammonium glucan ether in some aspects, such as a monomethyl-, monoethyl-, monopropyl-, monobutyl-, monopentyl-, monohexyl-, monoheptyl-, monooctyl-, monononyl-, monodecyl-, monoundecyl-, monododecyl-, monotridecyl-, monotetradecyl-, monopentadecyl-, monohexadecyl-, monoheptadecyl-, or monooctadecyl-ammonium glucan ether. These glucan ether compounds can also be referred to IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0135] as methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, butyl-, pentyl-, hexyl-, heptyl-, octyl-, nonyl-, decyl-, undecyl-, dodecyl-, tridecyl-, tetradecyl-, pentadecyl-, hexadecyl-, heptadecyl-, or octadecyl-ammonium glucan ether compounds, respectively.
[0136] A tertiary ammonium glucan ether compound for use in the compositions herein can comprise a dialkylammonium group in some aspects (e.g., based on Structure I). A tertiary ammonium glucan ether compound can be a dialkylammonium glucan ether in some aspects, such as a dimethyl-, diethyl-, dipropyl-, dibutyl-, dipentyl-, dihexyl-, diheptyl-, dioctyl-, dinonyl-, didecyl-, diundecyl-, didodecyl-, ditridecyl-, ditetradecyl-, dipentadecyl-, dihexadecyl-, di heptadecyl-, or dioctadecyl- ammonium glucan ether.
[0137] A quaternary ammonium glucan ether compound for use in the compositions herein can comprise a trialkylammonium group in some aspects (e.g., based on Structure I). A quaternary ammonium glucan ether compound can a trialkylammonium glucan ether in some aspects, such as trimethyl-, triethyl-, tripropyl-, tributyl-, tripentyl-, trihexyl-, triheptyl-, trioctyl-, trinonyl-, tridecyl-, triundecyl-, tridodecyl-, tritridecyl-, tri tetradecyl-, tripentadecyl-, trihexadecyl-, triheptadecyl-, or trioctadecyl- ammonium glucan ether.
[0138] One of the groups of a substituted ammonium group comprises one carbon, or a chain of carbons (e.g., up to 30), in ether linkage to a glucan. A carbon chain in this context can be linear, for example. Such a carbon or carbon chain can be represented by CH2, CH2CH2, CH2CH2CH2, CH2(CH2)2CH2, CH2(CH2)3CH2, CH2(CH2)4CH2, CH2(CH2)5CH2, CH2(CH2)6CH2, -CH2(CH2)7CH2, CH2(CH2)8CH2, CH2(CH2)9CH2, or CH2(CH2)10CH2, for example. In some aspects, a carbon chain in this context can be branched, such as by being substituted with one or more alkyl groups (e.g., any as disclosed above such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, or butyl). The point(s) of substitution can be anywhere along the carbon chain. Examples of branched carbon chains include CH(CH3)CH2, CH(CH3)CH2CH2, CH2CH(CH3)CH2, CH(CH2CH3)CH2, -CH(CH2CH3)CH2CH2, CH2CH(CH2CH3)CH2, CH(CH2CH2CH3)CH2, -CH(CH2CH2CH3)CH2CH2and CH2CH(CH2CH2CH3)CH2; longer branched carbon chains can also be used, if desired. In some aspects, a chain of one or more carbons (e.g., any of the above linear or branched chains) is further substituted with one or more hydroxyl groups. Examples of hydroxy- or dihydroxy (diol)-substituted chains include CH(OH), CH(OH)CH2, C(OH)2CH2, -CH2CH(OH)CH2, CH(OH)CH2CH2, CH(OH)CH(OH)CH2, CH2CH2CH(OH)CH2, - IFF101172-WO-PCT

In each of the foregoing examples, the first carbon atom of the chain is ether-linked to a glucose monomer of the glucan, and the last carbon atom of the chain is linked to a positively charged group (e.g., a substituted ammonium group as disclosed herein). One or more positively charged organic groups in some aspects can be trimethylammonium hydroxypropyl groups (Structure II, when each of R2, R3 and R4 is a methyl group).
[0140] In aspects in which a carbon chain of a positively charged organic group has a substitution in addition to a substitution with a positively charged group, such additional substitution can be with one or more hydroxyl groups, oxygen atoms (thereby forming an aldehyde or ketone group), alkyl groups (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl), and / or additional positively charged groups, for example. A positively charged group is typically bonded to the terminal carbon atom of the carbon chain. A positively charged group can also comprise imidazoline ring-containing compounds in some aspects.
[0141] A counter ion for a positively charged organic group herein can be any suitable anion, such as an acetate, borate, bromate, bromide, carbonate, chlorate, chloride, chlorite, dihydrogen phosphate, fluoride, hydrogen carbonate, hydrogen phosphate, hydrogen sulfate, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen sulfite, hydroxide, hypochlorite, iodate, iodide, nitrate, nitride, nitrite, oxalate, oxide, perchlorate, permanganate, phosphate, phosphide, phosphite, silicate, stannate, stannite, sulfate, sulfide, sulfite, tartrate, or thiocyanate anion.
[0142] In some embodiments, the glucan derivative for use in the malodor control compositions herein include derivatives having two or more different types of etherified organic groups (i.e. mixed ether of a glucan). Examples of such compounds contain (i) two different alkyl groups as etherified organic groups, (ii) an alkyl group and a hydroxy alkyl group as etherified organic groups (alkyl hydroxyalkyl glucan), (iii) an alkyl group and a carboxy alkyl group as etherified organic groups (alkyl carboxyalkyl glucan), (iv) a hydroxy alkyl group and a carboxy alkyl group as etherified organic groups (hydroxyalkyl carboxyalkyl glucan), (v) two different hydroxy alkyl groups as etherified organic groups, or (vi) two different carboxy alkyl groups as etherified organic groups. Specific non-limiting examples of such compounds include ethyl hydroxyethyl glucan, hydroxyalkyl methyl glucan, carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl glucan, and carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl glucan.

[0143] Glucan ether compounds for use in the compositions herein can comprise at least one type of etherified nonionic organic group and at least one type of etherified negatively charged (anionic) group, for example. As another example, glucan ether compounds for use in the compositions herein can comprise at least one type of etherified nonionic organic group and at least one type of etherified positively charged (cationic) organic group. As another example, glucan ether compounds for use in the compositions herein can comprise at least one type of etherified anionic organic group (e.g., carboxyalkyl such as carboxymethyl) and at least one type of etherified cationic organic group (e.g., substituted ammonium group such as trimethylammonium hydroxypropyl). Examples of the different groups in all these aspects are as presently disclosed. An ether derivative of an alpha-glucan homopolymer herein, in the presence or absence of a glucan ether as presently disclosed, can have any of the foregoing mono-ether or mixed ether profiles (e.g., comprise at least one type of etherified anionic organic group and at least one type of etherified cationic organic group). An alpha-glucan homopolymer mono- or mixed ether compound can be comprised in any composition / product / application as described herein, either with or without a glucan ether. In some embodiments, the glucan derivative for use in the compositions herein include derivatives having an ester derivative. Such a derivative can be termed as a glucan ester, for example. An esterified acyl group (ester group) herein can be any as disclosed in, for example, U. S. Patent Appl. Publ. Nos. 2014 / 0187767 and 2018 / 0155455, and Int. Patent Appl. Publ. No. W02018 / 098065, which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0144] At least one ester group of a glucan ester derivative in some aspects can comprise acyl group -CO-R’, wherein R’ comprises a chain of 1 to 26 carbon atoms. R’ can be linear, branched, or cyclic, for example. Examples of acyl groups herein that are linear include ethanoyl, propanoyl, butanoyl, pentanoyl, hexanoyl, heptanoyl, octanoyl, nonanoyl, decanoyl, undecanoyl, dodecanoyl, tridecanoyl, tetradecanoyl, pentadecanoyl, hexadecanoyl, heptadecanoyl, octadecanoyl, nonadecanoyl, eicosanoyl, uneicosanoyl, docosanoyl, tricosanoyl, tetracosanoyl, pentacosanoyl, and hexacosanoyl. Common names for some of the above-listed acyl groups are acetyl (ethanoyl group), propionyl (propanoyl group), butyryl (butanoyl group), valeryl (pentanoyl group), caproyl (hexanoyl group); enanthyl (heptanoyl group), caprylyl (octanoyl group), pelargonyl (nonanoyl group), capryl (decanoyl group), lauroyl (dodecanoyl group), myristyl (tetradecanoyl group), palmityl (hexadecanoyl group), stearyl (octadecanoyl group), arachidyl (eicosanoyl group), behenyl (docosanoyl group), lignoceryl (tetracosanoyl IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0145] group), and cerotyl (hexacosanoyl group).
[0146] In some aspects, a glucan ester is an aryl ester; i.e., at least one ester group is an aryl ester group. An aryl ester group can comprise a benzoyl group (-CO-C6H5), for example, which can also be referred to as a benzoate group. An aryl ester group in some aspects can comprise a benzoyl group substituted with at least one halogen (“X”; e.g., Cl, F), alkyl, halogenated alkyl, ether, cyano, or aldehyde group, or combinations thereof, such as represented by the following Structures III(a) through III(r): IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0147] 0
[0148]
[0149] III ( r )
[0150] Structures III(a) – III(r)
[0151] The glucan ester compounds in some aspects can contain one type of esterified acyl group. Examples of such compounds contain an acetyl group as the only esterified acyl group.
[0152] Yet, in some aspects, glucan ester compounds can contain two or more different types of IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0153] esterified acyl groups (i.e., mixed ester of glucan). Examples of such mixed esters include those with at least (i) acetyl and propionyl groups, (ii) acetyl and butyryl groups, and (iii) propionyl and butyryl groups. An ester derivative of an alpha-glucan homopolymer herein, in the presence or absence of a graft copolymer ester as presently disclosed, can have any of the foregoing mono-ester or mixed ester profiles. An alpha-glucan homopolymer mono- or mixed ester compound can be comprised in any composition / product / application as described herein, either with or without a dextran-alpha-glucan graft copolymer ether.
[0154] The terms “graft copolymer”, “branched copolymer” and the like herein generally refer to a copolymer comprising a “backbone” (or “main chain”) and one or more side chains branching from the backbone. The side chains are structurally distinct from the backbone. Examples of graft copolymers herein are “dextran-alpha- 1,3 -glucan graft copolymers” (and like terms such as alpha-1, 6-glucan-alpha- 1,3 -glucan graft copolymers) that comprise a backbone comprising dextran, and one or more side chains of alpha- 1,3 -glucan. A backbone in some aspects can itself be a branched dextran as disclosed herein; the addition of alpha- 1,3 -glucan side chains to such a backbone (thereby forming a graft copolymer herein) can be, for example, via enzymatic extension from non-reducing ends presented by short branches (alpha-1,2, -1,3, or -1,4 branch, each typically comprised of a single glucose monomer; i.e., pendant glucose). Short branches (that can be enzymatically extended into an alpha- 1,3 -glucan side chain) can be present on an otherwise linear or mostly linear dextran, or can be present on a branching dextran. In some aspects, alpha- 1,3 -glucan can also be synthesized from non-reducing ends of dextran main chains, such as in embodiments in which the dextran backbone is linear or mostly linear, or embodiments in which the dextran backbone is branching (e.g., dendritic, or not dendritic [branches do not emanate from a core] but has branch-on-branch structure); such alpha- 1,3-glucan is not, technically-speaking, a side chain to the dextran, but rather an extension from the dextran main chain(s).
[0155] An alpha-glucan graft copolymer can be used herein to provide a functional polysaccharide, for example. The alpha-glucan graft copolymer portion of a graft copolymer derivative herein can be as disclosed (e.g., molecular weight, linkage / branching profile, production method), for example, in U. S. Patent Appl. Publ. Nos. 2020 / 0165360, 2019 / 0185893, or 2020 / 0131281, which are incorporated herein by reference. A graft copolymer can comprise alpha-1, 6-glucan (as backbone) and alpha- 1,3 -glucan (as one or more side chains), where the IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0156] latter component has been grafted onto the former component; typically, this graft copolymer is produced by using alpha- 1,6-glucan or alpha-1,2- and / or alpha- 1,3 -branched alpha- 1,6-glucan as a primer for alpha- 1,3 -glucan synthesis by an alpha- 1,3-glucan-producing glucosyltransferase. Alpha- 1,3 -glucan side chain(s) of an alpha-glucan graft copolymer herein can be alpha- 1,3 -glucan as presently disclosed. Alpha-1, 6-glucan backbone of an alpha-glucan graft copolymer herein can be alpha- 1,6-glucan or alpha-1,2- and / or alpha- 1,3 -branched alpha-1, 6-glucan as presently disclosed.”
[0157] In some embodiments, the functional polysaccharide (glucan derivative) is an anionic glucan derivative including carboxyalkyl derivative such as carboxymethyl.
[0158] A functional polysaccharide (e.g., glucan derivative) in some aspects can be crosslinked, typically by chemical (covalent) crosslinking. Crosslinks formed using a crosslinking agent herein can be between two or more polysaccharide derivative molecules (i. e., intermolecular crosslinks), for example. It is contemplated that crosslinks in some aspects can also be intramolecular, i.e., crosslinking at different points within a single polysaccharide derivative molecule.
[0159] A crosslinked functional polysaccharide herein can comprise a homogenous or heterogenous polysaccharide / derivative component. A crosslinked polysaccharide / derivative with a homogenous polysaccharide / derivative component can be prepared using one form / type, lot, or preparation of polysaccharide / derivative, for example, such as that made using a particular enzymatic reaction and / or derivatization. A crosslinked polysaccharide / derivative with a heterogenous polysaccharide / derivative component typically can be prepared using two or more different forms / types, lots, or preparations of polysaccharides / derivatives, for example. For example, a heterogenous crosslinked polysaccharide / derivative can comprise two or more polysaccharide derivatives differing in substitution groups, DoS, molecular weight, and / or glycosidic linkage profile.
[0160] A crosslinking agent herein for crosslinking an amino acid polysaccharide derivative in some aspects can be a di- or poly-carboxylic acid, aldehyde, or polyphenol. One or more crosslinking agents useful for crosslinking a polysaccharide derivative herein are contemplated to include phosphoryl chloride (POCl3), polyphosphate, sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP), boron-containing compounds (e.g., boric acid, diborates, tetraborates such as tetraborate decahydrate, pentaborates, polymeric compounds such as Polybor®, alkali borates), polyvalent IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0161] metals (e.g., titanium-containing compounds such as titanium ammonium lactate, titanium triethanolamine, titanium acetyl acetonate, or polyhydroxy complexes of titanium; zirconium-containing compounds such as zirconium lactate, zirconium carbonate, zirconium
[0162] acetyl acetonate, zirconium triethanolamine, zirconium diisopropylamine lactate, or polyhydroxy complexes of zirconium), glyoxal, glutaraldehyde, aldehyde, polyphenol, divinyl sulfone, epichlorohydrin, polyamide-epichlorohydrin (PAE), di- or poly-carboxylic acids (e.g., citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid), dichloro acetic acid, polyamines, 1,2,7,8-diepoxyoctane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (diglyme), a diglycidyl ether (e.g., diglycidyl ether itself, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether [EGDE], 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether [BDGE], polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether [PEGDE, such as PEG2000DGE], bisphenol A diglycidyl ether [BADGE]), bis-guaiacol diepoxide and triglycidyl ether (e.g., trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether). Additional examples of crosslinking agents contemplated to be useful herein are disclosed in U. S. Patent Nos. 4462917, 4464270, 4477360, or 4799550, or U. S. Patent Appl. Publ. No. 2008 / 0112907, which are all incorporated herein by reference. Yet, in some aspects, a crosslinking agent is not a boron-containing compound (e.g., as described above).
[0163] In some aspects, a functional polysaccharide can be a sulfur derivative such as a polysaccharide sulfate, polysaccharide sulfonate, or polysaccharide thiosulfate. These type of derivative groups can be as disclosed, for example, in U. S. Pat. Appl. Publ. No. 2021 / 0253977, which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0164] In some aspects, a functional polysaccharide can be an oxidized polysaccharide or oxidized polysaccharide derivative. An “oxidized polysaccharide derivative” (and like terms) herein refers to a compound resulting from oxidation of a polysaccharide derivative such as presently disclosed. Such oxidation can occur, for example, at one or more hydroxyl groups of monomeric units of a polysaccharide / derivative, and / or at one or more hydroxyl groups of substituting organic groups of a polysaccharide derivative. Oxidation can independently convert hydroxyl groups to an aldehyde, ketone, or carboxylic group. A polysaccharide / derivative herein can be oxidized by contacting it with one or more oxidizing / oxidation agents under aqueous conditions, for example. In some aspects, a polysaccharide derivative herein can be oxidized before, or after, it has been derivatized and optionally further organic group-derivatized. An oxidation reaction herein can be performed, for example, as disclosed in U. S. Pat. Appl. Publ. IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0165] Nos. 2024 / 0199766 or 2024 / 0150497, which are each incorporated herein by reference. Suitable oxidized functional polysaccharides can be as disclosed in the foregoing references, for example.
[0166] A functional polysaccharide (e.g., glucan derivative) of the present disclosure can have a degree of substitution (DoS) up to about 3.0 (e.g., 0.001 to 3.0) with at least one functional group (e.g., an organic group herein such as an ether group or ester group). The DoS can be about, at least about, or up to about, 0.001, 0.0025, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.025, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.075, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, or 3.0 (DoS can optionally be expressed as a range between any two of these values), for example. Some examples of DoS ranges herein include 0.005-2.0, 0.005-1.9, 0.005-1.8, 0.005-1.7, 0.005-1.6, 0.005-1.5, 0.005-1.25, 0.005-1.0, 0.005-0.9, 0.005-0.8, 0.005-0.7, 0.005-0.6, 0.005-0.5, 0.01-2.0, 0.01-1.9, 0.01-1.8, 0.01-1.7, 0.01-1.6, 0.01-1.5, 0.01-1.25, 0.01-1.0, 0.01-0.9, 0.01-0.8, 0.01-0.7, 0.01-0.6, 0.01-0.5, 0.01-0.25, 0.01-0.1, 0.03-2.0, 0.03-1.9, 0.03-1.8, 0.03-1.7, 0.03-1.6, 0.03-1.5, 0.03-1.25, 0.03-1.0, 0.03-0.9, 0.03-0.8, 0.03-0.7, 0.03-0.6, 0.03-0.5, 0.03-0.25, 0.03-0.1, 0.05-2.0, 0.05-1.9, 0.05-1.8, 0.05-1.7, 0.05-1.6, 0.05-1.5, 0.05-1.25, 0.05-1.0, 0.05-0.9, 0.05-0.8, 0.05-0.7, 0.05-0.6, 0.05-0.5, 0.1-2.0, 0.1-1.9, 0.1-1.8, 0.1-1.7, 0.1-1.6, 0.1-1.5, 0.1-1.25, 0.1-1.0, 0.1-0.9, 0.1-0.8, 0.1-0.7, 0.1-0.6, 0.1-0.5, 0.15-2.0, 0.15-1.9, 0.15-1.8, 0.15-1.7, 0.15-1.6, 0.15-1.5, 0.15-1.25, 0.15-1.0, 0.15-0.9, 0.15-0.8, 0.15-0.7, 0.15-0.6, 0.15-0.5, 0.2-2.0, 0.2-1.9, 0.2-1.8, 0.2-1.7, 0.2-1.6, 0.2-1.5, 0.2-1.25, 0.2-1.0, 0.2-0.9, 0.2-0.8, 0.2-0.7, 0.2-0.6, 0.2-0.5, 0.25-2.0, 0.25-1.9, 0.25-1.8, 0.25-1.7, 0.25-1.6, 0.25-1.5, 0.25-1.25, 0.25-1.0, 0.25-0.9, 0.25-0.8, 0.25-0.7, 0.25-0.6, 0.25-0.5, 0.3-2.0, 0.3-1.9, 0.3-1.8, 0.3-1.7, 0.3-1.6, 0.3-1.5, 0.3-1.25, 0.3-1.0, 0.3-0.9, 0.3-0.8, 0.3-0.7, 0.3-0.6, 0.3-0.5, 0.4-2.0, 0.4-1.9, 0.4-1.8, 0.4-1.7, 0.4-1.6, 0.4-1.5, 0.4-1.25, 0.4-1.0, 0.4-0.9, 0.4-0.8, 0.4-0.7, 0.4-0.6 and 0.4-0.5.

[0195] Malodor control compositions
[0196] The present disclosure includes malodor control compositions comprising bacterial fermentate extracts in combination with functional polysaccharides and optionally enzymes for preventing, reducing, or removing a malodor and / or improving freshness in cleaning applications.
[0197] It has been shown that bacterial fermentate extracts can function as a malodor control agent to prevent, reduce and / or remove fabric malodor (see for example WO2024 / 191711, incorporated by reference herein). The malodor control effect from a bacterial fermentate extract can also be achieved in combination with a functional polysaccharide as described herein. A functional polysaccharide included in the malodor control composition can further provide benefits for example, but not limiting to, cleaning, surface modification, soil and / or sebum antiredeposition, care, thickening, structuring, building, softening, chelating or other benefits. The combination of bacterial fermentate extracts and functional polysaccharides described herein allow for an excellent control of malodor and / or improvement of freshness in cleaning applications. The malodor compositions described herein allow for an excellent malodor removal from a fabric or textile or hard surface. In the case of fabrics, for example, when the fabrics are subjected to a composition comprising an effective amount of a bacterial fermentate extract and at least one functional polysaccharide, wherein said polysaccharide mitigates soiling, an excellent and / or improved malodor control or freshness of the fabric can be observed.
[0198] In some aspects, the malodor control compositions described herein allow for the effect of the bacterial fermentate extracts to be enhanced by the addition of a functional polysaccharides and optionally by further adding an enzyme (such as, but not limited to an IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0199] enhanced malodor control and / or an enhanced cleaning of a fabric or hard surface). In some aspects, the malodor control of the bacterial fermentate extracts is synergistically improved by the presence of a functional polysaccharide and optionally an enzyme in the malodor control composition.
[0200] As used herein, the term “malodor” refers to any odor that is not desired or intended on an item, for example after cleaning, and compounds generally offensive or unpleasant to most people. Common sources of malodors include body perspiration, smoke, environmental odor such as mold and mildew, and bathroom odors. Examples of malodor include volatile compounds with a perceived unpleasant smell, which may be produced by microorganisms. The microorganisms may be gram positive or gram-negative bacteria (aerobic or anaerobic); algae, protozoa, and / or yeast or filamentous fungi.
[0201] In some embodiments the malodor may be associated with one or more microorganisms, including one or more bacterial genera of Acinetobacler sp., Aeromicrobium sp., Brevundimonas sp., Microbacterium sp., Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas sp. (e.g. Pseudomonas fluorescens), Staphylococcus sp. (e.g. Staphylococcus epidermidis), and Stenotrophomonas sp., Streptomyces sp., Listeria sp., Streptococcus sp., and Escherichia sp. Another example of malodor includes unpleasant smells which can be sweat, or body odor associated with an item that has been in contact with a human or animal. Another example includes odors from spices that adhere to items, such as curry or other spices with a smell.
[0202] The malodor control compositions of the present invention are advantageously employed for example, in laundry applications, dishwashing applications, laundry machine cleaning, hard surface cleaning, textile cleaning.

[0368] As used herein, the articles “a”, “an”, and “the” preceding an element or component of the invention are intended to be nonrestrictive regarding the number of instances (i.e., occurrences) of the element or component. Therefore “a”, “an”, and “the” should be read to include one or at least one, and the singular word form of the element or component also includes the plural unless the number is obviously meant to be singular.
[0369] When an amount, concentration, or other value or parameter is given either as a range, preferred range, or a list of upper preferable values and lower preferable values, this is to be understood as specifically disclosing all ranges formed from any pair of any upper range limit or IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0370] preferred value and any lower range limit or preferred value, regardless of whether ranges are separately disclosed. Where a range of numerical values is recited herein, unless otherwise stated, the range is intended to include the endpoints thereof, and all integers and fractions within the range. It is not intended that the scope be limited to the specific values recited when defining a range.
[0371] The use of numerical values in the various ranges specified in this application, unless expressly indicated otherwise, are stated as approximations as though the minimum and maximum values within the stated ranges were both proceeded by the word “about”. In this manner, slight variations above and below the stated ranges can be used to achieve substantially the same results as values within the ranges. Also, the disclosure of these ranges is intended as a continuous range including each and every value between the minimum and maximum values. As used herein, the term “about” modifying the quantity of an ingredient or reactant employed refers to variation in the numerical quantity that can occur, for example, through typical measuring and liquid handling procedures used for making concentrates or use solutions in the real world; through inadvertent error in these procedures; through differences in the manufacture, source, or purity of the ingredients employed to make the compositions or carry out the methods; and the like. The term “about” also encompasses amounts that differ due to different equilibrium conditions for a composition resulting from a particular initial mixture. Whether or not modified by the term “about”, the claims include equivalents to the quantities.
[0372] The term “aqueous,” as used in the phrases “aqueous composition” and “aqueous environment” refers to a composition that is made up of at least 50% water. An aqueous composition may contain at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, or 99% water.

[0376] As used herein, "cleaning" means applying to a surface for the purpose of cleaning.
[0377] The terms “clean surface”, “clean textile” and “clean fabric” refer to a surface or textile or fabric respectively that has a percent stain removal of at least 10%, preferably at least 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, or 40% of a soiled surface or textile or fabric.
[0378] The terms “cleaning compositions” and “cleaning formulations” refer to admixtures of ingredients that find use in the prevention, reduction and / or removal of undesired compounds (e.g., soil or stains) from items or surfaces to be cleaned, such as, for example, fabric, dishes, hard surfaces, or solid surfaces. The compositions or formulations may be in the form of a liquid, liquid suspension, gel, granule, a loose or compact powder, bar, solid, semi-solid, paste, emulsion, spray tablet, spray solution, gel, capsule, unit dose, sheet, or foam, depending on the surface or item to be cleaned and the desired form of the composition or formulation. The cleaning composition can be used in a wash medium (e.g. a wash liquor) for the cleaning of soiled or dirty objects, including particular textile or non-textile objects or items. Such compositions of the present invention are not limited to any particular detergent composition or formulation. In one aspect, the cleaning composition is formulated in a dry formulation or a liquid formulation. IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0379] As used herein, the term “embodiment” or “disclosure” is not meant to be limiting but applies generally to any of the embodiments defined in the claims or described herein. These terms are used interchangeably herein.
[0380] As used herein, the term “excipient” refers to inactive substance used as a carrier for active ingredients, in a formulation. The excipient may be used to stabilize the active ingredient in a formulation, such as the storage stability of the active ingredient. Excipients are also sometimes used to bulk up formulations that contain active ingredients.
[0381] As used herein, the term “effective amount” refers to the amount sufficient to obtain the desired effect. When used in conjunction with a bacterial fermentate extract, term “effective amount” refers to the quantity of a bacterial fermentate extract needed to achieve the desired level of malodor control activity and / or cleaning activity in the specified composition. Such effective amounts are readily ascertained by one of ordinary skill in the art and are based on many factors, such as the particular bacterial fermentate extract that is used, the malodor control or cleaning application, the specific composition of the malodor control or cleaning composition, and whether a liquid or dry (e.g., granular, bar, powder, solid, liquid, tablet, gel, paste, foam, sheet, or unit dose) composition is required.
[0382] As used herein, the term “fragrance effect” refers to the human perception of a fragrance on a washed item, such as a fabric (e.g. laundered clothing). The fragrance effect can be measured by GC-MS analysis and expressed quantitatively as a fragrance intensity. An increased fragrance effect can thus be expressed as an increased fragrance intensity, such that washing an item with a Brevibacillus fermentate extract and a fragrance or a composition comprising Brevibacillus fermentate extract and a fragrance compared to a similar item not having been washed with the Brevibacillus fermentate extract and a fragrance, or compared to the same item prior to washing.
[0383] As used herein, the term “fragrance” or “perfume” includes raw materials and compositions, accords, scents and oils, for example essential oils. A wide variety of chemicals are known for fragrance (i.e., perfume) uses, including compounds such as aldehydes, ketones and esters. Also naturally occurring plant and animal oils and exudates comprising complex mixtures of various chemical components are known for use as fragrances.
[0384] A perfume may be a blend of volatile compounds with different volatilities which can bind to receptors in the nose and therefore has a smell or odor, usually a pleasant one. These IFF101172-WO-PCT
[0385] compounds are also known as odorants or fragrances. Most perfumes possess molar weights of up to approximately 200 g / mol, in some cases up to about 300 g / mol. Larger molecules are not volatile enough to be perceived by the human nose. The volatility of a compound describes how readily it vaporizes by way of evaporation or boiling. Perfume compounds vaporize, depending on their volatility, by evaporation at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Volatility is often described using vapor pressure or boiling point, with a high vapor pressure or low boiling point indicating a high volatility. Although the volatility of a compound is related to its molecular weight, other factors such as structure and polarity also play a role, as does interaction between fragrance compounds.
[0386] As used herein, the term “fabric” refers to, for example, woven, knit, and non-woven material, as well as staple fibers and filaments that can be converted to, for example, yams and woven, knit, and non-woven fabrics.

[0388] As used herein, the term "neutralize" or "neutralization" refers to the ability of a compound or product to reduce or eliminate malodorous compounds. Odor neutralization may be partial, affecting only some of the malodorous compounds in a given context, or affecting only part of a malodorous compound. A malodorous compound may be neutralized by chemical reaction resulting in a new chemical entity, by sequestration, by chelation, by association, or by any other interaction rendering the malodorous compound less malodorous or non-malodorous. Odor neutralization may be distinguished from odor masking or odor blocking by a change in the malodorous compound, as opposed to a change in the ability to perceive the malodor without any corresponding change in the condition of the malodorous compound.
[0389] The terms “percent by weight”, “weight percentage (wt.%)” and “weight-weight percentage (% w / w)” are used interchangeably herein. Percent by weight refers to the percentage of a material on a mass basis as it is comprised in a composition, mixture, solution, or product.
