Oxidation process and composition

Method and composition for enhancing the activity of an enzyme

There is provided a bleaching detergent composition comprising one or more surfactants, a phenol oxidizing enzyme and a compound which acts as enhancer for the phenol oxidizing enzyme, said composition having an Enhancer Index as herein defined of at least 12 and prefereably in the range of 15-50.

Bleaching detergent compositions

There is provided a detergent composition comprising one or more surfactants and a compound capable of binding to colored substances which may occur as stains on fabrics.

Detergent compositions

There is provided a process for enhancing the activity of a phenol oxidizing enzyme, comprising adding to the enzyme, as an enhancer for the activity of the enzyme, one or more compounds having the formula:

There is provided a bleaching enzyme capable of generating a bleaching chemical and having a high binding affinity for non-colored compounds present in stains on fabrics, said non-colored compounds having a molecular weight of at least 100, preferably of at least 1,000 and more preferably of at least 5,000. Furthermore, there is provided an enzymatic bleaching composition comprising said bleaching enzyme and a surfactant and a process for bleaching stains present of fabrics.

Bleaching enzymes and detergent compositions comprising them

There is provided a detergent composition comprising one or more surfactants and a compound capable of binding to coloured substances which may occur as stains on fabrics.

There is provided an enzymatic oxidation process wherein a substance which is to be oxidised is reacted with (a) an enzyme exhibiting peroxidase activity and a source of hydrogen peroxide or an enzyme exhibiting oxidase activity on phenolic compounds and (b) a compound which enhances the oxidation activity of the enzyme, characterized in that the compound specifically binds the substance which is to be oxidized. Furthermore, there is provided an enzymatic stain bleaching or anti dye-transfer composition comprising: (a) an enzyme exhibiting peroxidase activity and a source of hydrogen peroxide or an enzyme exhibiting oxidase activity on phenolic compounds and (b) a compound which enhances the oxidation activity of the enzyme and which is capable of binding selectively to a stain chromophore or textile dye in solution.

Enzymatic oxidation process

A detergent composition with excellent color care properties. The detergent composition comprises a dendritic macromolecule.
