Abstract: In particular a porous substrate (FS) like a fabric. Process to clean a substrate, comprising a step of subjecting the substrate to an air-water spray (SPR), generated using a spraying means (N) comprising an air passage (OPA) and a water passage (OPW), wherein air is greater than 90% by volume of the spray, the air velocity is greater than 80 m/s and wherein said air passage does not coaxially surround said water passage. Device to clean soiled fabric (FS) comprising a feed water container (CW) and an air compressor (AC) in fluid communication with a spray nozzle (N) comprising an air passage and a water passage, said device being capable of generating an air pressure in the range of 1 to 3 bar (absolute) and an air velocity greater than 80 m/s at the exit of said nozzle; and the air is greater than 90% volume of said spray, and wherein said air passage does not coaxially surround said water passage. An external mix spray nozzle is especially preferred in the device.

Abstract: A laundry treatment composition which comprises a surfactant and from 0.0001 to 0.1 wt % of a combination of dyes which together have a visual effect on the human eye as a single dye having a peak absorption wavelength on cotton of from 540 nm to 650 nm, preferably from 570 mn to 630 mn, the combination comprising a photostable dye which is substantive to cotton.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a green tea product with enhanced aroma. The method comprises the steps of: providing an aroma composition comprising E-2-hexenal and linalool in a weight ratio of at least 0.7:1; and combining the aroma composition with the tea product. Also provided are green tea products with enhanced aroma.

Abstract: The invention provides the use of a whey protein and/or whey protein hydrolysate which stimulate the cellular release of the satiety peptides choleocystokinin and glucagon-like-peptide in the preparation of edible compositions. The edible compositions can be used to control body weight and have beneficial effects on satiety. Edible compositions are also provided.

Abstract: A non-intrusive device for automatically dosing at least one liquid laundry care composition to an automatic laundry washing machine. The device employs a Venturi tube mechanism or a pump to dose the laundry detergent care composition. The dosing is controlled by a machine-generic algorithm capable of determining the actual cycle at any duration of wash for various cycle designs from various washing machines, without the input of precise cycle design; and dose the correct products correctly and is capable of distinguishing between major water addition and a water pulse.

Abstract: A fabric care article made of solid or semi-solid matrix of materials for repetitive or multiple use in a machine drying apparatus such as a tumble dryer. The matrix includes a structuring agent comprising a filler structuring agent and a polymeric structuring agent. The filler structuring agent comprises about 0.2 % to about 10% and the polymeric structuring agent comprises about 0.5 to about 20% by weight of the composition. The matrix further includes up to about 25% of an anionic soap surfactant, about 10% to about 60% of free fatty acid, and about 1% to about 50% of a non-ionic, but is substantially free from cationic surfactant. When the fabric care article is used up, it simply disappears, indicating to a user that the article needs to be replenished.
