  • Publication number: 20120277140
    Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous surfactant systems that in diluted or undiluted form may be used for cleaning surfaces or may be used as an active cleaning base in various ready-to-use (or in-use) aqueous cleaning compositions suitable for surface cleaning. The invention also relates to a cleaning system comprising a surfactant system of the invention. According to the invention the cleaning efficacy of the surfactant system or cleaning system is increased by reducing or minimizing the size of the surfactants typically used in surfactant systems and reducing or minimizing the water solubility of the surfactant system.

  • Patent number: 8236549
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens bacteria that hyperproduces amylase enzyme and protease enzyme. The strain is also suitable for producing lipase for the degradation of oleaginous materials such as fats, greases and cooking oils. The strain also has excellent fungicidal and/or fungistatic qualities. The strain of the present disclosure and the enzymes produced thereby have a number of applications, including agricultural uses, laundry and dish detergents, drain cleaners and spot removers, and among other things, baking applications.
