The surfactant system may include: (1) a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) and/or an alcohol ethoxylsulfate (AES), (2) a non-ionic surfactant, and (3) a fatty acid. The unit dose compositions can prevent the enclosed liquid detergent composition with a high level of water content from dissolving or pre-maturely dispersing the water-soluble container.

Provided among other things are a cleaning composition comprising a carrier fluid comprising in the carrier fluid polymer comprising particulate super absorbent polymer (PSAP), wherein the PSAP as in the cleaning composition is substantially at the percolation volume fraction or higher; wherein the cleaning composition can be passed over a surface driven by a pressure drop effective to render the composition traditional biofilm (TBF) cleaning effective and protein cleaning effective.

Polysaccharides can be used to provide a liquid composition with desirable rheological properties while being compatible with other ingredients, such as enzymes, that may be used in formulating the liquid composition. The polysaccharides can be i) a colloidal dispersion of poly alpha-1,3-glucan, ii) poly alpha-1,3-glucan fibrids, iii) soy polysaccharide; or iv) a combination thereof.

Surfactant compositions having a yield point, containing, based on the total weight thereof, (i) at least one surfactant, and (ii) at least one diarylamidocystine compound of the formula (I), wherein X.sup.+, independently of each other, stands for a hydrogen atom or an equivalent of a cation, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4, independently of each other, stand for a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl group, a C.sub.1-C.sub.4-Alkoxy group, a C.sub.2-C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl group, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, an N(C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl)amino group, an N,N-Di(C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl)amino group, an N(C.sub.2-C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl)amino group, an N,N-Di(C.sub.2-C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl)amino group, or R.sub.1 with R.sub.2 or R.sub.3 with R.sub.4 forms a 5- or 6-segment annulated ring, which can each be substituted with at least one group from C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl group, C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkoxy group, C.sub.2-C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl group, hydroxyl group, amino group, N(C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl)amino group, N,N-Di(C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl)amino group, N(C.sub.2-C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl)amino group, N,N-Di(C.sub.2-C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl)amino group, and (iii) water.

A liquid laundry detergent composition that includes a liquid phase, a lamellar liquid crystal phase, and a particulate phase, where the lamellar liquid phase and particulate phase are dispersed within the liquid phase.

Stable unit dose compositions with high water content are provided. Such unit dose compositions include an aqueous composition having a water activity of from about 0.60 to about 0.95 and a water-soluble container formed from a water-soluble or water-dispersible film material. In one embodiment, the aqueous composition includes water in an amount of 20% to 70% by weight, a structured surfactant system which is in the form of a lamellar structure, and a salt which promotes the formation of the lamellar structure. The surfactant system may include: (1) a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) and/or an alcohol ethoxylsulfate (AES), (2) a non-ionic surfactant, and (3) a fatty acid. The unit dose compositions can prevent the enclosed liquid detergent composition with a high level of water content from dissolving or pre-maturely dispersing the water-soluble container due to the lamellar structure of the composition.
