An oil containing starch granule is provided comprising:

Oil containing starch granules for delivering benefit-additives to a substrate

A particulate agglomerated carrier is described which is suitable for use in admixture with a laundry detergent composition and which is capable of depositing an effective amount of an antibacterial agent on laundered fabrics and for providing an effective amount of same in the wash solution. The carrier is an agglomerate of a smectite-type clay and an antibacterial agent. Also, described is a laundry detergent composition containing such agglomerated carrier and process for depositing an effective amount of an antibacterial agent on laundered fabrics and for providing an effective amount of such antibacterial agent in the wash solution.

Agglomerated clay carrier with an antibacterial agent for laundry

A particulate laundry detergent composition is provided having significantly improved oily soil removal activity. The composition comprises (a) from about 1 to 50%, by weight, of one or more detergent compounds selected from the group consisting of anionic and nonionic detergent compounds, and particularly alkyl polyglucoside and poly hydroxy fatty acid amide detergents; (b) a lipase enzyme in an amount effective for oily soil removal from stained fabric; and (c) a soil release polymer in an amount effective for oily soil removal from stained fabric. The laundry detergent compositions is characterized by its ability to remove a variety of oily soils from fabric to an extent greater than the additive soil removing effects measured with comparative compositions containing components (a) and (b), and components (a) and (c), respectively.

Laundry detergent compositions containing lipase and soil release polymer

A particulate agglomerated carrier is described which is suitable for use in admixture with a laundry detergent composition and which is capable of depositing an effective amount of an antibacterial agent on laundered fabrics and for providing an effective amount of same in the wash solution. The carrier is an agglomerate of (i) a soil release copolymer of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyoxyethylene terephthalate (POET); and (ii) an antibacterial agent. Also, described is a laundry detergent composition containing such agglomerated carrier and process for depositing an effective amount of an antibacterial agent on laundered fabrics and for providing such antibacterial agent in the wash solution.

A particulate laundry detergent composition is provided having significantly improved oily soil removal activity. The composition comprises (a) from about 1 to 50%, by weight, of one or more detergent compounds selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic and amphoteric detergent compounds, and mixtures thereof; (b) a lipase enzyme in an amount effective for oily soil removal from stained fabric; and (c) a soil release polymer in an amount effective for oily soil removal from stained fabric. The laundry detergent compositions is characterized by its ability to remove a variety of oily soils from fabric to an extent greater than the additive soil removing effects measured with comparative compositions containing components (a) and (b), and components (a) and (c), respectively.

A particulate built nonionic synthetic organic detergent composition includes a detersive proportion of a nonionic synthetic organic detergent and a building proportion, in combination, of a polyacetal carboxylate builder for the nonionic detergent and carbonate and bicarbonate builders for such nonionic detergent. Such compositions are readily made by adding polyacetal carboxylate builder to the formula of a control detergent composition, with corresponding diminutions of other component(s), and have detersive powers superior to such control despite the decrease in proportions present of detergent and other builders. Preferably, certain nonionic detergents, polyacetal carboxylate builders, carbonate and bicarbonate, in certain proportions, are employed to make a product of better detergency and physical characteristics, e.g., flowability. Also disclosed are processes for manufacturing the described detergent compositions, in which processes spray dried builder base beads, containing carbonate and bicarbonate builder salts, have nonionic detergent and polyacetal carboxylate builder mixed with or applied to them. Additionally described are pumpable and sprayable compositions of polyacetal carboxylate builder in normally solid, liquid nonionic detergent at elevated temperature, which compositions are suitable for applying the nonionic detergent and polyacetal carboxylate builder to the spray dried carbonate-bicarbonate base beads, preferably as a spray impinging on moving surfaces of such beads.

A particulate built nonionic synthetic organic detergent composition includes a detersive proportion of a nonionic synthetic organic detergent and a building proportion, in combination, of a polyacetal carboxylate builder for the nonionic detergent and a polyphosphate builder for such nonionic detergent. Such compositions are readily made by adding polyacetal carboxylate builder to the formula of a control detergent composition, with corresponding diminutions of other component(s), and have detersive powers superior to such control despite the decrease in detergent and other builders.
