A detergent composition, preferably a manual dishwashing detergent composition comprising a surfactant system and a fatty acid decarboxylase enzyme and method of manually washing soiled articles, comprising the step of: delivering a composition to a volume of water to form a wash liquor and immersing the soiled articles, in the wash liquor, or delivering a composition optionally in the presence of water, directly onto a soiled article, or onto a cleaning implement, and using the cleaning implement to clean the soiled article.

The present invention relates to a quick rinse detergent cleaner. The detergent contains high levels of salt that immediately collapse soap bubbles, so that less rinsing (and re-rinsing) of utensils is required. This allows for greater portability and applications relative to existing cleaning solutions.

The present invention relates a method of obtaining a detergent composition comprising introducing (a) a lipase variant of a parent lipase which variant has at least 60% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 2, a substitution at a position corresponding to D254 of the mature polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2 and has lipase activity and (b) an anionic surfactant, wherein said composition has increased stability in comparison with a corresponding composition comprising the parent lipase.

The disclosure relates to compositions comprising a polysaccharide derivative, wherein the polysaccharide derivative comprises a polysaccharide substituted with a) at least one hydrophobic group, and b) at least one hydrophilic group, wherein the polysaccharide is poly alpha-1,3-glucan, poly alpha-1,6-glucan, or poly alpha-1,3-1,6-glucan.

Cleaning compositions that include esteramines. Related methods of preparation and use.

Described herein is an enzyme preparation including component (a): at least one compound according to general formula (I)

##STR00001## wherein R.sup.1 is H; R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 are independently from each other selected from the group consisting of H, linear C.sub.1-C.sub.8 alkyl, and branched C.sub.3-C.sub.8 alkyl, C.sub.6-C.sub.10-aryl, non-substituted or substituted with one or more carboxylate or hydroxyl groups, and C.sub.6-C.sub.10-aryl-alkyl, wherein an alkyl of the C.sub.6-C.sub.10-aryl-alkyl is selected from the group consisting of linear C.sub.1-C.sub.8 alkyl and branched C.sub.3-C.sub.8 alkyl, wherein at least one of R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 is not H; component (b): at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of hydrolases (EC 3); and optionally component (c): at least one compound selected from the group consisting of solvents, enzyme stabilizers different from component (a), and compounds stabilizing the enzyme preparation.

The present invention relates to lipase variants and compositions comprising (i) at least one surfactant and (ii) at least one lipase variant of the invention. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods of using the compositions.

Disclosed herein are multilayer water-dispersible articles including a water-dispersible substrate layer having a thickness in a range of about 5 μm to about 10 mm, and a water-dispersible coating layer on the substrate layer, the coating layer having a thickness in a range of about 0.5 to about 250 μm, wherein water-dispersible article has a moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of about 20 g H.sub.2O/m.sup.2/day or less, such as 10 g H.sub.2O/m.sup.2/day or less.

This invention relates to novel whitening agents for cellulosic substrates. The whitening agents are comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. Suitable chromophore components generally fluoresce blue, red, violet, or purple color when exposed to ultraviolet light, or they may absorb light to reflect these same shades. The whitening agents are further characterized by having a dispersion component value of the Hansen Solubility Parameter of less than or equal to about 17 MPa.sup.0.5. This invention also relates to laundry care compositions including but not limited to liquid and/or powder laundry detergent formulations and rinse added fabric softening (RAFS) compositions that comprise such whitening agents.

Described herein is a household care composition, which delivers active agents onto fabric, in the form of a water-soluble unit dose article comprising a water-soluble fibrous structure and a concentrated enzyme composition, as well as methods for making the article and methods for treating fabrics using the article.
