The present disclosure relates to a liquid surfactant composition containing a surfactant mixture, water and at least one amylase as defined herein. The present disclosure also relates to a method for cleaning textiles including providing a washing liquor by dosing a liquid surfactant composition, mixing this dosage into at least one solvent, and bring the resulting mixture into contact with the textiles.

Surfactant composition comprising an amylase

The present disclosure relates to detergent compositions comprising subtilase variants exhibiting improved stability and/or improved wash performance in liquid detergent and methods for obtaining such detergent compositions. The variants are suitable for use in e.g. cleaning or detergent compositions, such as laundry detergent compositions and dish wash compositions, including automatic dish wash compositions.

Detergent composition comprising subtilase variants

The present disclosure relates to proteases having an amino acid sequence with at least 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID No. 1, across its whole length, and comprising an amino acid substitution on at least one of the positions P9, Q10, Q62, L82, P86, N130, T141, N187, S236 or T253, relating in each case to the numbering according to SEQ ID No. 1. The present disclosure also relates to the production and use thereof. Said type of proteases have a very good cleaning performance.

Proteases with improved enzyme stability in detergents

The invention is used in the field of enzyme technology. The invention relates to lipases and to the production thereof, the amino acid sequence of which has been modified in particular with regard to the use thereof in detergents and cleaning agents, all sufficiently similar lipases having a corresponding modification and nucleic acids coding for them. The invention further relates to methods and uses of said lipases and to agents containing them, in particular detergents and cleaning agents.

Lipases for use in washing and cleaning agents

The present disclosure relates to detergent compositions comprising polypeptides having xanthan degrading activity. The disclosure also relates to methods for producing said detergent compositions and to the use of said detergent compositions in cleaning applications.

Detergent compositions comprising polypeptides having xanthan degrading activity

Proteases that comprise an amino acid sequence that is at least 70% identical to the amino acid sequence indicated in SEQ ID NO. 1 over its entire length and that comprise, in the count in accordance with SEQ ID NO. 1, the amino acid substitution R99D in combination with at least two further amino acid substitutions that are selected from the group consisting of S3T, V4I, and V199I, display very good cleaning performance in particular on blood-containing stains, as well as very good temperature stability.

Performance-enhanced and temperature-resistant protease variants

The present disclosure relates to proteases that are variants of aprotease, the proteases comprising an amino acid sequence which has at least about 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID No. 1 over its entire length, and which has an amino acid substitution on at least one of the positions corresponding to the positions 12, 43, 122, 127, 154, 156, 160, 211 or 222, relating in each case to the numbering according to SEQ ID No. 1. The present disclosure also relates to the production and use thereof. Said type of proteases have a very good cleaning performance.

protease and variants thereof

The present disclosure relates to proteases comprising an amino acid sequence which has at least about 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence indicated in SEQ ID NO. 1, over the entire length thereof, and in which the amino acids in the positions corresponding to positions 24, 33, 53, 78, 101, 128 and 217 according to SEQ ID NO. 1 are substituted at 24G, 33T, 53G, 78N, 101N, 128A and 217Q, and to the production and use thereof. Said type of proteases have a very good cleaning performance compared to reference proteases.

Protease with improved washing performance

The present disclosure relates to proteases having an amino acid sequence with at least about 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID NO:2, over the entire length thereof, and comprising an amino acid substitution at at least one of the positions P9, Q62, D101, N130, G166, N187, 5216, N238 or Q271, based in each case on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:2. The present disclosure also relates to the production and use thereof. Such proteases exhibit very good stability, in particular storage stability, while at the same time having a good cleaning performance.

The present disclosure relates to amylases which have an amino acid sequence that, over its entire length, shares at least about 70% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, and to the production and use thereof. The amylases have a good cleaning performance.

Amylases

The invention relates to liquid washing agents having a pH value of &#x3c;6.5, preferably in the range of 2 to 5, containing, based on the total weight of the liquid washing agent, (i) 5 to 30% by weight, preferably 10 to 30% by weight, in particular 15 to 25% by weight of at least one hydroxycarboxylic acid having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, (ii) 15 to 55% by weight, preferably 20 to 55% by weight, in particular 35 to 50% by weight of at least one non-ionic surfactant, (iii) 0 to 20% by weight of water, and (iv) at least one enzyme having a pH optimum of pH&#x3c;7. Said liquid washing agents have an increased cleaning power, in particular on stains on the basis of components and residues from deodorants but also of grates, berries, tea and red wine residues.
