Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cleaning compositions including dishwashing, hard surface cleaning, toilet bowl cleaning, laundry and personal cleansing compositions, containing an endo- dextranase enzyme.
  • the overall performance of a cleaning product for use in washing or cleaning method is judged by a number of factors, including the ability to remove soils and the ability to prevent redeposition of the soils or the breakdown products of the soils on the articles in the wash.
  • Food soils are often difficult to remove effectively from a soiled substrate.
  • Highly coloured soils derived from fruit and/or vegetable juices are particularly challenging to remove. Specific examples of such soils would include orange, tomato, banana, tea mango, spinach soils and grass.
  • residues from plants usual contaminating inorganic compounds like mud or clay are very difficult to remove.
  • the substrates can be dishes, hard surfaces, toilet bowls, skin, scalp, hair or fabrics.
  • complex and high molecular weight carbohydrates structures are produced by natural microbial activity on stains and/or soils surfaces upon ageing. This complex and high molecular weight carbohydrates structures form a physical barrier and prevent effective removal of the stains and/or soils from the treated surfaces by active cleaning ingredients. Additionally such complex and high molecular weight carbohydrates structures form an ideal substrate for further microbial development.
  • Such complex and high molecular weight carbohydrates structures are represented by dextrans, being high molecular weight polysaccharides with a D-glucose backbone characterised by predominantly alpha-D(1 -6) links.
  • endo-dextranase is a carbohydrase enzyme which improves specific or broad stain removal, boosts overall cleaning performances and provides the sanitisation of the treated surfaces by degrading the complex and high molecular weight carbohydrates structures. During and after the enzymatic degradation of the high molecular weight carbohydrates, residual stains and/or soil components are exposed to the cleaning action of other cleaning active ingredients.
