Use of a detergent composition comprising a fatty acid-transforming enzyme to impart suds longevity in a washing process. A method for promoting suds longevity in a washing process for washing soiled articles, comprising the step of: delivering a composition comprising a fatty acid-transforming enzyme to a volume of water to form a wash liquor and immersing the soiled article in the liquor.

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.

Cleaning compositions comprising endo-β-1,3-glucanase enzyme and cleaning adjunct. Methods of treating surfaces including fabrics by contacting the surface with an aqueous was liquor having the cleaning composition therein. The compositions and methods are particularly for cleaning cotton fabrics. The compositions and methods are particularly for removal of soils containing callose, curdlan, pachyman, scleroglucan or schizophyllan. The compositions and methods are particularly for improving whiteness of a fabric, improved soil removal from a fabric, for malodour removal from a fabric, for anti-wrinkle benefits and/or for improved drying of a fabric.

A peroxidase, a method for producing the peroxidase, and an agent including at least one peroxidase are provided herein. The peroxidase includes an amino acid sequence that has a sequence identity of at least 60% to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO:1 (Gap MnP1), across the entire length thereof; or has a sequence identity of at least 60% to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO:2 (Gap MnP2), across the entire length thereof; or has a sequence identity of at least 80% to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO:3 (Bja LiP), across the entire length thereof; or has a sequence identity of at least 60% to the amino acid sequence specified in SEQ ID NO:4 (Bja DyP), across the entire length thereof.

A composition including a plurality of particles. The particles include from about 40% to about 99% by weight of said particles of a carrier and from about 0.0001% to about 5% by weight of an enzyme. Each of the particles has a mass between about 1 mg to about 5000 mg.

Disclosed herein is a laundry detergent composition comprising one or more low temperature enzyme that provides excellent cleaning under more environmentally friendly conditions. In particular, the low temperature enzyme(s) contained in the laundry detergent composition described herein provides excellent cleaning at lower temperatures and/or in shorter wash times than conventional laundry detergents. The lower wash temperature and/or shorter wash cycle conserves energy and/or water without sacrificing detergent performance.

The disclosure is directed to cleaning compositions, methods of making the cleaning compositions, and methods of using the cleaning compositions. The cleaning compositions comprise an enzyme composition, a nonionic surfactant, and a quaternary amine. Preferably, the enzyme compositions included in the cleaning compositions comprise a cellulase, an AA9 polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity, a hemicellulase, an esterase, an expansin, a laccase, a ligninolytic enzyme, a pectinase, a peroxidase, a protease, a swollenin, or a combination or mixture thereof. The compositions are useful for degradation of bacterial cellulose.

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.

Antipathogenic polypeptides and related compounds and compositions that display antipathogenic activity, antifungal activity (i.e., act as fungicides), antialgal activity (i.e., act as algaecides), and/or enzymatic activity against chitin (i.e., degrade chitin) and/or polyglucuronic acid (i.e., degrade the polyglucuronic acid) are described. These antipathogenic polypeptides, as well the related compounds and compositions disclosed herein, can be used in protecting/treating products, including but not limited to agricultural products and water bodies (including drinking water), from pathogens, including fungi and algae, as well as generating pathogen-resistant products (particularly fungi-resistant and/or algae-resistant products).
