Compositions comprising oxidized poly alpha-1,3-glucan compounds are disclosed herein. Oxidized poly alpha-1,3-glucan compounds are produced by contacting poly alpha-1,3-glucan under aqueous conditions with at least one N-oxoammonium salt.

Consumer and industrial 2-in-1 alkaline ware washing compositions providing both detergency and rinseability in a single cleaning composition are disclosed. Further benefits can be achieved with low levels of rinse aid surfactants in a rinse additive following the alkaline ware washing composition, including levels of rinse additive surfactant of about 500 ppm surfactant or less. Alkaline ware washing compositions and methods of using the same provide user-friendly, solid, ware washing compositions without the need for using a separate rinse aid composition.

A composition including a plurality of particles, the plurality of particles including: about 25% to about 94% by weight a water soluble carrier; about 5% to about 45% by weight a quaternary ammonium compound; and about 0.5% to about 10% by weight a cationic polymer; wherein the plurality of particles comprises individual particles that comprise at least one of the quaternary ammonium compound and the cationic polymer; wherein the individual particles differ from one another in weight fraction of at least one of the quaternary ammonium compound and the cationic polymer; and wherein the individual particles each have a mass from about 1 mg to about 1 g.

A laundry care or dish care composition can include a poly alpha-1,6-glucan derivative, wherein the poly alpha-1,6-glucan derivative includes: (i) a poly alpha-1,6-glucan backbone of glucose monomer units, wherein greater than or equal to 80% of the glucose monomer units are linked via alpha-1,6 glycosidic linkages, and wherein from about 10% or less of the glucose monomer units are linked via alpha-1,3 glycosidic linkages, 1,2 glycosidic linkages, and/or 1,4 glycosidic linkages; and (ii) at least one organic group linked to the poly alpha-1,6-glucan backbone through a ##STR00001## linkage moiety; wherein, the poly alpha-1,6-glucan backbone has a weight average degree of polymerization of at least about 5; wherein, the poly alpha-1,6-glucan derivative has a degree of substitution of ##STR00002## linkage moiety of from about 0.20 to about 1.00.

A laundry care or dish care composition can include a poly alpha-1,6-glucan derivative, wherein the poly alpha-1,6-glucan derivative includes: (i) a poly alpha-1,6-glucan backbone of glucose monomer units; and (ii) at least one hydrophobic organic group linked to the poly alpha-1,6-glucan backbone through an ether (O) linkage moiety; wherein, the poly alpha-1,6-glucan backbone has a weight average degree of polymerization of at least 5; wherein, the poly alpha-1,6-glucan derivative has a degree of substitution of ether linkage moiety of from 0.20 to 1.00; wherein the poly alpha-1,6-glucan derivative is substantially free from hydrophilic substitution.
