The present disclosure pertains to surfactants for use in the formulation of detergents, foaming agents, emulsifiers, and degreasers. Some aspects of the invention include formulations suitable for cleaning and/or condition fabrics including upholstery. Some formulations are suitable for in home or commercial dry cleaning. Some of the formulations may be suitable for cleaning hard surfaces including plastic surfaces.

The invention relates to stable dispersion of negatively-charged aminoplast microcapsules in non-suspending detergent compositions containing an anionic surfactant. The microcapsules are stably dispersed by means of a cationic polyampholyte, which is embedded in the shells of said microcapsules.

A water-soluble pouch suitable for use in machine dishwashing and which comprises a plurality of compartments in generally superposed or superposable relationship, each containing one or more detergent active or auxiliary components, and wherein the pouch has a volume of from about 5 to about 70 ml and a longitudinal/transverse aspect ratio in the range from about 2:1 to about 1:8, preferably from about 1:1 to about 1:4. The water-soluble pouch allows for optimum delivery of dishwashing detergent. A process for the manufacture of multi-compartment pouches and a pack to contain the pouches are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to an improved detergent composition for use in the protection of non-metallic inorganic materials such as glassware in automatic ware washing machines.

The present invention relates to polypeptides having mannanase activity, catalytic domains, and carbohydrate binding modules, and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, catalytic domains, and carbohydrate binding modules. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides, catalytic domains, and carbohydrate binding modules.

The present invention relates generally to methods of making surfactant compositions and detergent compositions.

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.

The invention relates to stable dispersion of negatively-charged aminoplast microcapsules in non-suspending detergent compositions containing an anionic surfactant. The microcapsules are stably dispersed by means of a cationic polyampholyte, which is embedded in the shells of said microcapsules.

The present invention relates generally to surfactant and detergent compositions and, more specifically, to surfactant and detergent compositions containing an ethoxylated glycerine.
