Description

CLEANING COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING AN M1CODEXTRANASE TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to cleaning compositions including compositions for dishwashing, cleaning hard surfaces, cleaning toilet bowls and laundry compositions containing a mycodextranase enzyme.

BACKGROUND The overall performance of cleaning compositions for use in a washing or cleaning, such as dishwashing, cleaning hard surfaces, cleaning toilet bowls and washing clothes, is judged by many factors, including the ability to remove dirt, and the ability to prevent the redeposition of the dirt, or the degradation product of the dirt on the items that are being washed. Food stains are often difficult to remove effectively from a serum substrate. Highly stained soils derived from food and / or beverages, for example, tea or coffee, are particularly difficult to remove. Also, body soils, especially menstrual fluids, are difficult to remove completely and often accumulate on the fabric, which leads to yellowing. The substrates can be, for example, crockery, hard surfaces, toilet bowls or fabrics. Enzymes have been added to the cleaning compositions as a performance additive to improve cleaning performance. Enzymes can be included in the cleaning compositions present for a variety of objects, including the removal of carbohydrate-based stains from surfaces such as textiles, to avoid the refuge of ink transfer in washing, and for fabric restoration. It has now been discovered that cleaning compositions comprising a mycodextranase enzyme improve specific or wide soil removal, increase the total cleaning performance and provide disinfection for surfaces treated with the cleaning compositions of the present invention.

SHORT DESCRIPTION The present invention relates to cleaning compositions comprising a mycodextranase enzyme. In further embodiments, the present invention further relates to cleaning compositions comprising a mycodextranase enzyme in combination with selected detergent ingredients such as other enzymes, surfactants, bleaching agents and the like. Such compositions satisfy the need for a cleaning composition that provides specific or extensive enhanced soil removal, improved overall cleaning performance and disinfection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An essential component of the cleansing compositions of the present invention is a mycodextranase enzyme. The mycodextrase enzyme is preferably incorporated in the compositions according to the present invention at a level of about 0.00001% to about 1%, preferably from about 0.0001% to about 0.5% pure enzyme by weight of the total composition. The enzyme mycodextranase, which is 1, 3-1, 4-alpha-D-Glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, is any enzyme that hydrolyzes 1,4-alpha-D-glucoside bonds in alpha-D-glucans that contain both linkages. , 3- and 1, 4-. For example, the enzyme microdextranase hydrolyzes alpha-D-glucans in nigerose and 4-alpha-D-nigerosylglucose. The enzyme micodextranasa does not hydrolyze alpha-D-glucans that contain only 1, 3- or 1, 4- bonds. In addition, the enzyme mycodextranase does not hydrolyze on the following glucans: alpha-1.4- (amlosa), alpha-1, 6- (dextran); beta-1, 2-; beta-1, 3- (laminarin); beta-1, 4- (cellulose), beta-1, 6- (pustulan). The mycodextranase enzyme is described in the following publications which are incorporated herein by reference: E.T. Reese and M. Mandéis, Canadian Journal of Mocrobiology, volume 10, pages 103-114 (1964); K.K. Tung, J. Biol. Chem., Volume 246, number 22, pages 6722-6735 (1971).

The enzyme mycodextranase can be derived from fungal origin eg Penicillium species or can be expressed in any suitable host organism through cloning techniques known in the art. This mycodextranase enzyme can be produced by the so-called wild-type organism or by any host organism in which the gene responsible for the production of the enzyme mycodextranase has been cloned and expressed. Nowadays, it is common practice to modify wild type enzymes through protein / genetic engineering techniques to optimize their efficiency of performance in the cleaning compositions of the invention. For example, variants can be designed in such a way that the compatibility of the enzyme to commonly found ingredients of said compositions is increased. Alternatively, the variant can be designed in such a way that the optimum pH, bleach stability, catalytic activity and the like, of the enzyme variant is adjusted to suit the particular cleaning application. In particular, attention must be focused on amino acids sensitive to oxidation in the case of bleaching stability and surface charges for the compatibility of surfactant. The isoelectric point of said enzymes can be modified by the substitution of some charged amino acids, for example, an increase in the isoelectric point can help improve compatibility with surfactants. The stability of the enzymes can be further increased by creating, for example, additional salt bridges and promoting calcium binding sites to increase chelator stability. Particular care should be given to cellulases since most cellulases have separate binding domains (CBD). The properties of such enzymes can be altered by modifications in these domains. A preferred type of mycodextranase enzyme is a carbohydrase from the following category of EC: EC: 3.2.1.61, which is commercially available from Sigma Chemicals.

M (CH2) nCH3 where m is 2-3 and n is 6-12. The side chains are linked with esters to the polyacrylate "base structure" to provide a "comb" polymer type structure. The molecular weight may vary, but is typically in the range of about 2,000 to about 50,000. Such annealed polycarboxylates may comprise from about 0.05% to about 10%, by weight, of the compositions herein.

Borghetty and C.A. Bergman, J. Am. Oil. Chem. Soc, volume 27, pages 88-90, (1950). This method of testing the dispersion of lime soap is used extensively by specialists in this field of the art who are referred to, for example, in the following articles of specialized journals: W.N. Linfield, Surfactant scíence Series, Volume 7, page 3: W.N. Linfield, Tenside surf. det., volume 27, pages 159-163, (1990); and M.K. Nagarajan, W.F. Masler, Cosmetics and Toiletries, volume 104, pages 71-73, (1989). The LSDP is the percentage by weight ratio of the dispersing agent to the sodium oleate required to disperse the lime soap deposits formed by 0.025 g of sodium oleate in 30 ml of water with equivalent hardness of 333 ppm of CaC 3.

(Ca: Mg = 3: 2). Surfactants having good lime soap peptising capacity will include certain amine oxides, betaines, sulfobetaines, alkylethoxysulfate and ethoxylated alcohols.
