A
laundry care or dish care composition can include a poly alpha-1,6-
glucan derivative, wherein the poly alpha-1,6-
glucan derivative includes:(i) a poly alpha-1,6-
glucan backbone of glucose
monomer units, wherein greater than or equal to 80% of the glucose
monomer units are linked via alpha-1,6 glycosidic linkages, and wherein from about 10% or less of the glucose
monomer units are linked via alpha-1,3 glycosidic linkages, 1,2 glycosidic linkages, and / or 1,4 glycosidic linkages; and(ii) at least one
organic group linked to the poly alpha-1,6-glucan backbone through a linkage
moiety;wherein, the poly alpha-1,6-glucan backbone has a weight average
degree of polymerization of at least about 5;wherein, the poly alpha-1,6-glucan derivative has a
degree of substitution of linkage
moiety of from about 0.20 to about 1.00.
