A liquid detergent composition contains greater than 5% by weight of surfactant and an encapsulate containing greater than 10% by weight of active material in a hydrated cross-linked anionic gum matrix. The anionic gum is preferably an alginate. The active material is preferably a fragrance. The detergent composition is particularly suitable for use as a laundry liquid.

Detergent composition

Perfume is absorbed within organic polymer particles which have a further polymer at their exterior. The further polymer incorporates free hydroxyl groups and serves to promote deposition of the particles from a wash or rinse liquor. The further polymer may be part of an encapsulating shell, but more conveniently is used as a stabilizer during polymerization of the particles. Highly hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol is preferred.
