[0008] Textile treatment compositions with antimicrobial and odour activity

[0009] The present invention lies in the field of textile treatment and provides synergistic mixtures with a booster substance having an anti-microbial and odourous effect. Furthermore, the present invention also provides novel uses of active components having odour as well as anti-microbial activity for the treatment of fabric. Furthermore, methods for decreasing or 5 eliminating malodour of fabric are also disclosed.

[0010] Washing clothes is a usual step for retaining colour and textile status of clothes and especially for removing laundry malodour. Although the washing machine is an excellent means to remove microbial cells from the textile surface, it also provides good conditions for a variety of microorganisms. Thus, microbial biofilms can be found on different surfaces 0 with water contact inside the washing machine.

[0011] Microorganisms are an important factor in the wash-and-use cycle of textiles since they can cause unwanted aesthetic effects, such as malodour formation, and even pose health risks. Even after washing of the textiles, the bacteria can persist and lead to the described defects. Common malodour-causing bacteria include Klebsiella oxytoca, Staphylococcus 5 epidermidis, and Corynebacterium xerosis, which thrive on organic residues, body oils, and detergent residues left on fabrics. Several studies have determined further species of microorganisms that are causing malodour in laundry (Zinn et al., “A Comprehensive View of Microbial Communities in the Laundering Cycle Suggests a Preventive Effect of Soil Bacteria on Malodour Formation”, Microorganisms 2022, 10, 1465).Common techniques for combatting microorganisms involve the use of laundry perfumes including odourous substances, which overlay and thereby neutralize the malodour. This is described for example in WO 2018 / 202311 A1. The international application discloses compositions for odour improvement. The overall objective problem is described to provide mixtures that are highly olfactory active.

[0012] The international application WO 2008 / 026140 A2 also describes compositions with fragrance materials that are capable of masking or neutralize malodours. An application in laundry is also described.

[0013] As all of the mixtures described in the state of the art are only masking the malodour in laundry, it is needed to obtain novel, highly efficient mixtures that are active against the malodour causing microorganisms and thus inhibit the malodour causing bacteria.

[0014] It was thus the objective of the present invention to provide novel and effective compositions for combatting microorganisms in textiles and thus combat textile malodour.

[0015] This primary objective was solved by providing a textile treatment mixture having an antimicrobial effect comprising

[0016] a) at least one fragrance substance of the group consisting of at least one fragrance substance of the group consisting of (2E)-2-benzylideneheptanal, (2E)-2- benzylideneoctanal, (2E,6E)-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,6,10-trien-1-ol, (2E,6Z)- nona-2,6-dienal, (3-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylpentyl) 2-methylpropanoate, (4-propan- 2-ylcyclohexyl)methanol, (E)-2-methyl-3-phenylprop-2-enal, (E)-3-phenylprop-2- enal, (E)-4-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexen-1-yl)but-3-en-2-one, (E)-4-(2,6,6- trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl)but-3-en-2-one, 1-(2,3,8,8-tetramethyl-1 , 3, 4, 5,6,7- hexahydronaphthalen-2-yl)ethanone and isomeric mixtures thereof, 2-benzylheptan- 1-ol, 2-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-enyl acetate, 2-methyl-5-phenylpentan-1-ol, 3-methyl-5- phenylpentan-1-ol, 4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethyl-1 ,3,4,7- tetrahydrocyclopenta[g]isochromene, 5-hexyloxolan-2-one, 5-methyl-2-propan-2- ylphenol, dodecanal, hex-5-enyl 2-methylbutanoate, 4-(3-methylbutyl)cyclohexan-1- ol, 2-methylundecanal, (E)-2-ethyl-4-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-en-1 -yl)but-2-en-1 - ol, 2-methoxy-4-prop-2-enylphenol, (2E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienal, (E)-dec-2- enal, 2-methyl-5-propan-2-ylphenol, prop-2-enyl heptanoate, ethyl 2- methylpentanoate, 2-phenoxyethyl 2-methylpropanoate, 2-phenylethanol, 2-methyl- 5-propylcyclohex-2-en-1-one, 2,3,6-trimethylcyclohexan-1-ol, patchouli oil, orangeoil, mixture of Diethyl (E / Z)-2-methylbut-2-enedioate and Diethyl 2- methylenebutanedioate, 4-Ethyloct-3-enenitrile, 3-(4-ethylphenyl)-2,2- dimethylpropanal or mixtures thereof,

[0019] It was surprisingly found in terms of the present invention that by adding a booster b) substance to the fragrance substance a), a synergism could be observed between both substances, which increases the antimicrobial activity of a fragrance substances synergistically. Textile treatment mixtures according to the invention enable reduction and removal of fabric malodour as well as exhibit antimicrobial activity. Thus, the obtained textiles after treatment have a diminished amount or complete absence of malodour causing microorganism as well as a pleasant odour.

[0020] The term “textile treatment mixture” in terms of the present invention means a final product that is used for treating textiles, such as for example dry or liquid laundry detergents, fabric softener or laundry treatment sprays. A textile treatment mixture in terms of the present invention is not limited to the treatment of human textiles (e.g. clothes, blankets, pillows, carpets, curtains, etc.), but can also be used for treating pet textiles.

[0021] The term “fragrance substance” in terms of the present invention means a substance that has a specific pleasant odour. Fragrance substances are usually associated with perfume compositions, but also play an important role in e.g. household products and laundry detergents.

[0022] The term “booster substance” in terms of the present invention means a substance that is able to enhance, preferably synergistically enhance, the activity of a second compound.

[0023] The term “odour activity” in terms of the present invention means the activity of a fragrance substance to convey a specific odour. It can also be referred to as odourizing activity and anti-malodour activity. In general, this term relates to conveying an effect that is associated with the odour of a textile after treatment with the textile treatment mixture according to the invention.The term “antimicrobial activity” in terms of the present invention means the ability of a single substance or the textile treatment mixture to inhibit microbial growth and thus decreasing the total amount of microorganisms on the treated textile. In terms of the present invention, this means that especially malodour-causing microorganisms on textiles are diminished.

[0024] Preferably, the textile treatment mixture according to the present invention is a product selected from the group consisting of dry laundry detergents, liquid laundry detergents, fabric softeners, laundry treatment sprays, laundry pods, scent boosters (solid or liquid), powder detergents, textile refreshers, detergent sheets, fabric softener sheets, and washing machine cleaners.

[0025] Preferably, the textile treatment mixture according to the present invention is not a personal care product, more preferably is not a deodorant or antiperspirant, most preferably is not a deodorant spray.

[0026] The fragrance substances according to the invention are further described with their trivial name and CAS number in Table 1 . Iso E Super and Iso E Gamma can also be present as isomeric mixture according to the invention.

[0263] Hi. mixing the fragrance substance(s) provided in step i. and the booster substance(s) provided in step iL.What has been stated herein for the textile treatment mixture according to the invention applies accordingly to the method for producing a textile treatment mixture according to the invention, especially with regard to preferred amounts of the fragrance substance(s) and booster substance(s) provided for producing the textile treatment mixture.

[0264] The invention is further characterized by illustrative, non-limiting examples.1. Minimum Inhibitory Composition testing in liquid medium

[0265] The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) assay is a test that enables the determination of the lowest concentration that inhibits the visible growth of microorganisms. The estimation of MICs is performed in 96 well plates. Positive and negative controls are included. Microbial growth is typically detected by spectrometry (measurement of the optical density (OD)). Through the comparison of the samples containing different concentrations of the test substance with positive and negative controls, the microbial growth is evaluated. The lowest tested concentration that results in growth inhibition of the microorganism is the MIC.

[0266] For the MIC testing, the method including the following steps was used:

[0267] Cultivation of the microorganisms under adjusted conditions based on information of the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ) and storage in 10 % or 50 % glycerol prior to use

[0268] Adding the respective growth medium depending on the microorganism to each well of the microplate (96-well plate: max volume per one well was 300 pL; the amount of medium depends on the added volume of the other components; as standard, 287pL medium was used)

[0269] Adding the test-substances (e.g., single compound or composition) or positive and negative controls in different concentrations

[0270] Adding the microorganism in a defined concentration (as standard 106 CFU I mL (CFU = colony forming units), adjusted for 10 pL was used), (for the control that contains only the test-substance and medium, without microorganism, 10 pL medium instead of the microorganism suspension was added to the respective well)

[0271] Incubation of the microplates at appropriate conditions (incubation temperature depends on the strain)Evaluation: According to the resulting growth, substance concentrations are labelled either as inhibiting or not and MIC is defined as the lowest concentration where a complete growth inhibition is visible.

[0272] • The MIC-testing was performed at least twice for each sample.

[0273] 2. Determination of synergism

[0274] To investigate if Part A and Part B (Table 2) act synergistically in a mixture, microorganisms that were assumed to contribute to laundry malodourwere selected.

[0275] The synergistic effects were explored by determining the MIC of the mixtures of said parts (components) (exemplary shown for Part A and Part B, Table 2) in the individual ratios and comparing the determined MICs of the mixtures with the MICs of each combination partner (Part A, Part B, Table 2). The calculation of a synergy index gave a quantitative indication of the synergistic effects.

[0276] To calculate the synergy index with MIC values, the Kull equation was used as follows:

[0277] <

[0278]

[0279] wherein

[0280] SI is the Synergy Index according to Kull

[0282] MICi is the MIC value for Substance i

[0283] MICmixture is the MIC value for the mixture of the incorporated substances

[0284] Pi is the proportion of the substance i in the mixture

[0285] A synergy index >1 indicates no synergism and a synergy index < 1 a present synergism.Table 2: Tested compounds

[0328] The fragrance substances according to table 11 were tested and the dose reduction was determined.

[0329] the following evaluation was made: Viability of a synthetic bacterial pool consisting of equal amounts of C. jeikeium, M. luteus and S. hominis was determined in situ on flat cotton grown for 2 days in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment. Samples were either left untreated or treated with the indicated fragrance raw material at a sequential 1 / 10 dilution range starting at 0.5% [w / w]. Viability of samples was determined via relative luminescence based on ATP present as surrogate marker for viable microbial cells. Signal reduction of treatment was calculated in reference to untreated samples, set as 100%. Experiments were executed as biological duplicates with technical triplicates.The following results were obtained:
