A series of natural soaps, both liquid and solid, and methods of making thereof, which have a synergistic effect when formulated with anti-redeposition ingredients in laundry applications both in synthetic and natural textiles and fabrics. The fatty acids and/or natural oils based series of natural soaps include both sodium and potassium soap products that interact synergistically with, preferably, known, natural anti-redeposition agents and alkaline builders creating highly effective, natural solid (bar or powdered) and liquid laundry cleaning products. Solid forms soaps are dried to an acceptable amount of moisture content for milling. Further blending is then performed with various natural anti-redeposition agents or natural products which exhibit said characteristics and/or alkaline builders. The solid forms may be formed into single dose tablets. Effervescent additives may further be included.

Disclosed are high-porosity protein particles useful for carrying one or more agents of interest, methods for their manufacture and use, and products comprising them.

The present disclosure pertains to surfactants for use in the formulation of detergents, foaming agents, emulsifiers, and degreasers. Some aspects of the invention include formulations suitable for cleaning and/or condition fabrics including upholstery. Some formulations are suitable for in home or commercial dry cleaning. Some of the formulations may be suitable for cleaning hard surfaces including plastic surfaces.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of an enzyme composition for use in cleaning components of biomass-based processing. In some embodiments, the enzyme composition comprises a surfactant or is used in combination with a surfactant-containing composition. The enzyme composition can be administered to a process stream or directly to a process screen used in biomass-based processing to facilitate removing starch build-up on the process screen.

The present invention relates to new polypeptides, nucleotides encoding the polypeptide, as well as methods of producing the polypeptides. The present invention also relates to detergent composition comprising polypeptides, a laundering method and the use of polypeptides.

A cleaning composition may include at least one linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, at least one fatty alcohol ether sulfate, an active protein of at least one amylase having at least 90% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence recited in SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:2, an active protein of at least one protease having at least 90% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence recited in SEQ ID NO:3 or SEQ ID NO:4, at least one betaine, optional additional substances and/or additives, and water.

The present invention relates to xanthan lyase variants and methods for obtaining xanthan lyase variants. The present invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the variants; nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides; and methods of using the variants.
