An antifoam granule includes a carrier and an antifoam compound deposited on the carrier. The antifoam granule is formed using a method that includes providing an emulsion and contacting the emulsion with a carrier to deposit the antifoam compound on the carrier and form the antifoam granule. The emulsion includes an oil phase, an aqueous phase, and a silicone polyether. The oil phase includes an antifoam compound. The antifoam compound includes a hydrophobic fluid and a hydrophobic filler dispersed in the hydrophobic fluid. The aqueous phase includes a binder and water. The emulsion is formed using a method that includes combining the oil phase, the aqueous phase, and the silicone polyether to form the emulsion. The antifoam granule is also utilized in a method of facilitating rinsing of a detergent from a substrate that includes applying the detergent, including the antifoam granule, to the substrate and rinsing the substrate.

A method for producing microcapsules is provided. The method includes providing a core liquid comprising one or more oils and one or more surfactants and a shell liquid comprising water, one or more surfactants and at least one wall forming material. The method further includes forming a plurality of liquid droplets within a gas, wherein each of the plurality of liquid droplets has a core formed from the core liquid and a shell surrounding the core formed from the shell liquid, wherein the core liquid and shell liquid have a dynamic spreading coefficient greater than zero at 0.03 seconds. At least some of the water is evaporated within a drying chamber to form microcapsules.

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.
