The present invention relates to fabric care compositions comprising one or more amino acid sequence(s) comprising a Cellulose Binding Domain for providing fabric care. In a further embodiment, the present invention relates to fabric care compositions wherein the amino acid sequence comprising one or more cellulose binding domains is linked to a softening protein.

Fabric care compositions comprising cellulose binding domains

Disclosed are detergent compositions and methods which utilize certain modified cellulose ethers as fabric treatment agents that can impart fabric appearance and integrity benefits to fabrics and textiles laundered in washing solutions which contain such agents. Such modified cellulose ether fabric treatment agents are those having selected types and amounts of anhydroglucose ring substituents in order to render them nonionic, cationic or anionic in nature.

Laundry detergent compositions with cellulosic polymers to provide appearance and integrity benefits to fabrics laundered therewith

The present invention relates to a modified enzyme which comprises a catalytically active amino acid sequence of a cellulolytic enzyme linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a Cellulose Binding Domain (CBD) having a relative binding constant (Kr-a) for binding to amorphous cellulose higher than 2.4 l/gcellulose, preferably higher than 3.5 l/gcellulose, more preferably higher than 4 l/gcellulose, for selective binding and hydrolysis of amorphous cellulose of cotton containing fabrics in a laundry and/or fabric care application. The present invention further relates to laundry detergent and/or fabric care compositions comprising this modified enzyme.

Laundry detergent and/or fabric care compositions comprising a modified cellulase

Modified enzymes which comprise a catalytically active amino acid sequence of an enzyme, linked via a non-mino acid linking region to an amino acid sequence comprising a Cellulose Binding Domain. The present invention further relates to laundry detergent and/or fabric care compositions comprising such modified enzymes. These compositions provide a higher effective concentration of the enzyme at its substrate location and therefore, improved enzymatic benefits.

Laundry detergent and/or fabric care compositions comprising a modified enzyme

A modified protein which comprises a catalytically active amino acid sequence of an antimicrobial enzyme and/or an amino acid sequence of an antimicrobial peptide linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a cellulose binding domain (CBD), and laundry detergents and/or fabric care compositions comprising such modified protein for improved sanitization benefits, are provided by the present invention.

Laundry detergent and/or fabric care composition comprising a modified antimicrobial protein

The present invention relates to a modified enzyme which comprises a catalytically active amino acid sequence of a transferase linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a Cellulose Binding Domain (CBD). The present invention further relates to laundry detergent and/or fabric care compositions comprising such modified enzyme, for improved fabric care and cleaning benefits.

Laundry detergent and/or fabric care compositions comprising a modified transferase

A detergent composition comprising a combination of cellulase enzymes is provided. The detergent composition comprises at least 1% by weight of a surfactant, at least 1% by weight of a builder and an effective amount of an enzymatic mixture capable of degrading cellulose. The enzymatic mixture comprises a combination of at least two cellulases, of which one is a surface-active cellulase having a cellulose-binding domain, and one is a nonsurface-active cellulase which does not possess a cellulose-binding domain. The nonsurface-active cellulase and the surface-active cellulase are in a weight ratio of from 1:2 to 20:1 in the detergent composition.

Detergent composition comprising two cellulase components, with and without a cellulose-binding domain

Amylase-containing detergent compositions

Liquid laundry detergent compositions containing anionic or nonionic surfactant, citric acid or a water-soluble salt thereof, proteolytic enzyme, cellulase, and a mixture of 1,2 propane diol and boric acid or its derivative. The compositions are prepared by adding the diol and boric acid before adding the citric acid/salt to the composition. This order of addition improves the stability of the cellulase.

Liquid laundry detergents with citric acid, cellulase, and boricdiol

Alkaline aqueous liquid detergent compositions comprising zeolite A, a nonionic surfactant, a polycarboxylate detergency builder and an unsaturated soap which are substantially free of synthetic anionic surfactants that can contain normally unstable ester perfumes without a stability problem.

Alkaline aqueous liquid detergent compositions containing normally

Detergent compositions comprising water-insoluble aluminosilicate detergency builder; a synthetic detergent surfactant; and an unsaturated, water-soluble or dispersible soap of an unsaturated fatty acid containing from about 16 to about 22 carbon atoms. The soap improves the detergency, especially of particulate and body soils.
