Disclosed are microcapsule compositions and their preparation methods. The microcapsule composition has a microcapsule dispersed in an aqueous phase. The microcapsule has a microcapsule core and a microcapsule wall encapsulating the microcapsule core. The microcapsule core contains an active material selected from the group consisting of a fragrance, cosmetic active, malodor counteractant, and combinations thereof. The microcapsule wall is formed of a polymeric network comprising of at least three moieties: (i) a first moiety derived from a chitosan, (ii) a second moiety derived from a polyisocyanate, and (iii) a third moiety derived from a polyphenol. Also disclosed are consumer products contain such a microcapsule composition.

Disclosed are microcapsules each having a microcapsule core and a microcapsule wall encapsulating the microcapsule core. The microcapsule core contains an active material and the microcapsule wall contains hydroxyethyl cellulose moieties. Also disclosed are preparation method and consumer products containing the microcapsules.

A phosphate-free automatic dishwashing cleaning composition comprising i) a protease wherein the protease is a variant having at least 60% identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 and comprising at least one amino acid substitution (using the SEQ ID NO: 1 numbering) selected from the group consisting of X54T; X126A, D, G, V, E, K, I; X127E, S, T, A, P, G, C; and X128E, C, T, D, P, G, L, Y, N; and ii) from 10 to 50% by weight of the composition of a complexing agent system comprising from 0 to less than 30% by weight of the composition of citric acid.

A cleaning wipe having a nonwoven substrate impregnated with a dispersal composition including at least one of a polar solvent and a water-in-oil emulsion is disclosed. The dispersal composition provides an enhancement to the dispersion of the nonwoven substrate including a binder when placed within a waste water stream after use, thereby more effectively disposing of the wipe after use.

A detergent bar comprising from 0.01 to 1 wt % polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of at least 100,000 and at least one of: (a) from 0.01 to 5 wt % polyacrylic acid having a molecular weight from 1,000 to 20,000; (b) from 0.01 to 1 wt % hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; and (c) from 0.01 to 1 wt % hydroxyethyl cellulose.

Described herein is a process for producing water soluble polymer films by low temperature calendering of a polymer composition including an ethylene oxide homo- or copolymer. Also described herein are polymer films obtainable by said process and methods of using the polymer films, in particular for the portionwise packaging of detergents and cleaners.

Cleaning compositions and methods of use thereof for cleaning fryers and other hard surfaces soiled by grease, shortening, oils and other soils commonly encountered in the food service industry are disclosed. Cleaning compositions and methods of use which beneficially remove soils from vertical and/or inverted surfaces, reduce the cleaning time required for removing such difficult to remove and baked on soils, reduce exposure to hot surfaces by allowing cleaning at or near room temperature, reduce exposure to caustic chemicals, and/or eliminate the need for personal protective equipment (PPE) for use of the cleaning compositions are disclosed.

A hydrocolloid or aqueous solution comprising a poly alpha-1,3-glucan ether compound is disclosed having a viscosity of at least about 10 centipoise (cPs). The poly alpha-1,3-glucan ether compound in these compositions has a degree of substitution of about 0.05 to about 3.0. Also disclosed is a method for increasing the viscosity of a hydrocolloid or aqueous composition using a poly alpha-1,3-glucan ether compound.

Stabilized compositions employing a sequestrant system and a binding system for improving shelf stability and dispensing stability of a solid activated bleach composition are disclosed. The compositions contain a peroxygen source and a catalyst activator which require generation of a peroxycarboxylic acid or other active oxygen sanitizing agent at a point of use. Stabilized compositions employ a sequestrant system including a phosphonic acid and/or dipicolinic acid sequestrant and a binding system comprising an anionic surfactant for a solid formulation of a catalyst activator and peroxygen source to provide shelf stability and dispensing stability for a activated bleach composition. Methods of formulating and use are further disclosed.

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.
