Disclosed is a unit dose laundry detergent product containing an in-vitro, delayed onset fluid gel detergent composition and a water soluble film pouch for enclosing the detergent composition. The composition includes a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate and/or an alcohol ethoxy sulfate having a C.sub.8-C.sub.20 backbone that is ethoxylated with from about 1 to about 10 moles of ethylene oxide, and a non-ionic surfactant comprising an alkoxylated alcohol, in an amount from 20 to 70 wt %, water in an amount from about 10 to about 30 wt %, free fatty acids in an amount from about 2 to 12 wt %, a magnesium cation in an amount of from 0.15 to 1 wt %, and colloidal particles such as an encapsulated fragrance. The composition is opacified and structured yet free of a structuring agent or an opacifying agent. Also disclosed is a method of making such product.

Consumer products that include treatment adjuncts and delivery particles having certain sizes, certain monomers (for example, multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomers), and certain core:wall polymer weight ratios. Methods related to the use and manufacture of such compositions, including methods of treating a surface, such as a fabric.

Disclosed are a method for manufacturing a microcapsule including a fragrance oil, and a microcapsule containing a fragrance oil. In the method for manufacturing a microcapsule including the fragrance oil, there is provided a fragrance oil-containing microcapsule which has an increased distribution of individual primary particles because the aggregation of the primary particles is suppressed even when the microcapsule is manufactured in a large quantity, has a uniform particle shape and excellent surface characteristics, shows an excellent strain recovery capability with respect to external pressure due to the high yield stress, and enables a stable support of the fragrance oil because the collapse of the microcapsule is suppressed. Also, there are provided a fragrance oil-containing microcapsule and a dispersion including the same, wherein the fragrance oil-containing microcapsule shows an excellent long-term fragrance diffusion-lasting property of the fragrance oil and has controlled release characteristics with respect to the fragrance oil.

A fabric care composition that includes quaternary ammonium ester material and a population of delivery particles, where the quaternary ammonium ester material includes triester quaternary ammonium material (“triester quats”), and where the shells of the delivery particles include a polymeric material that is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and chitosan, preferably hydrolyzed chitosan. A method of treating a fabric with the composition.

A method of treating a fabric, where the method includes the steps of contacting a fabric with a treatment composition, where the treatment composition comprises a population of delivery particles having a shell that includes a polymeric material that is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and chitosan, and exposing the delivery particles that are on the surface of the fabric to ultraviolet (UV) light. A consumer product that includes such treatment compositions in containers that block or absorb ultraviolet light.

A liquid detergent composition may have a continuous liquid phase and solid particles dispersed in the continuous phase. The continuous phase may be transparent or translucent. The solid particles may be made of a polymeric matrix material, have a diameter ranging from about 0.8 to about 8 mm, and may include a plurality of microcapsules. The plurality of microcapsules may be dispersed in the polymeric matrix material. The microcapsules may have a diameter ranging from about 4 to about 70 70 μm. Use of and methods of use of such a liquid composition are also described.

Populations of benefit agent delivery particles are disclosed, the particles having a core and a shell encapsulating the core, the shell comprising certain multifunctional (meth)acrylate-based polymers, along with processes for making and uses of such compositions. The delivery particle has a core to polymer wall ratio by weight from about 96:4 to about 99.5 to 0.5 and a volume-weighted particle size from about 30 to about 50 microns. The compositions deliver core content with a desired delivery profile, such as fragrance delivery at desired touchpoints with higher efficiency. The delivery particle has high pay load, yet exhibits decreased benefit agent leakage, and provides a desired delivery profile.

Disclosed is a modified biopolymer having the formula A-XY wherein: (a) A is a starting material selected from the group consisting of a polysaccharide, a protein and a cellulose; (b) X is a first moiety bearing a functionality co-reactive with A; (c) Y is a second moiety covalently bound to X, capable of undergoing free radical polymerization and bearing at least two ethylenically unsaturated functional groups; (d) the starting material A and the first moiety X are linked covalently through linkages selected from the group consisting of an ester, an amide, a urethane, a urea, a sulfonate ester, a phosphate ester and an ether; and (e) a degree of substitution of the starting material A with the first moiety X is less than 0.5 but more than 0.1. Compositions including the modified biopolymer and methods for making them are also disclosed.

A laundry composition including a plurality of granules, where each of said granules has a longest dimension of no less than 3 mm and no more than 12 mm, and an aspect ratio of no more than 5, and each of said granules has a mass from 1 mg to 1 g; wherein said granules comprise 25% to 99.9% of a water soluble carrier by weight of the granules. The laundry composition also includes from 0.1% to 10% of a plurality of fine particles, by weight of the laundry composition, said fine particles having an average particle size of 0.05 μm to 50 μm.
