Abstract: Heavily perfumed detergent compositions having both immediate and long lasting perfume emitting properties are prepared by a process in which perfume is emulsified in a water solution of water-soluble polymer, and the emulsion is mixed with a powdered hydratable material, in such a ratio that all of the water in the emulsion can be bound in the resulting hydrate, eliminating a separate drying step. The result is a dry, free flowing granular material which can be readily dry mixed into fully formulated detergent compositions. The perfume is retained in the polymeric matrix and is released at the point of product use when contacted with water.

Abstract: Heavily perfumed particles having both immediate and long lasting perfume emitting properties consist essentially of from 30% to 70% water-insoluble perfume, from 25% to 65% of a water-soluble polymer, and emulsifier. The particles are comprised of a continuous polymeric matrix having dispersed substantially uniformly therethrough perfume/emulsifier droplets. The perfumed particles are especially useful in detergent compositions.

Abstract: An article, primarily for use in detergent compositions, comprising an enzyme dispersed in a water-soluble resin film. Plasticizers, suds modifiers, solids, and surface-active agents may also be dispersed in said article.

Abstract: Beverage carbonation devices employing carbon dioxide-containing molecular sieves. Upon contact with aqueous solutions carbon dioxide is released from such molecular sieves and thereupon dissolves in the liquid to provide a carbonated beverage.
