Detergent compositions are provided that include a polysaccharide selected from a carboxymethyl cellulose component, an anionic cellulose derivative, or mixtures thereof and a surfactant system, wherein the polysaccharide has a molecular weight of no greater than from about 1,000 Dalton to 80,000 Dalton.

Detergent compositions comprising ultra-low molecular weight polysaccharides

Embodiments of the present description provide methods for increasing the concentration of carboxymethylcellulose alkali solutions that are particularly suitable for use in a high solids paper coating, barrier materials, etc. Generally described, the method includes dissolving carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and an alkali salt in water to obtain an alkali solution of CMC. The CMC desirably has a degree of substitution less than about 0.9. The alkali solution of CMC includes CMC in a concentration greater than about 9.8% by weight, has a pH from about 7.5 to about 11, and is characterized as having a viscosity of less than about 5,000 mPa.
