Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds which form, under perhydrolysis conditions, certain cationic organic peracids, to the use of said compounds for activating peroxygen compounds in the context of bleaching stains when washing textiles and cleaning hard surfaces, and to washing and cleaning agents that contain said compounds.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for determining a user-specific hair treatment with determination and inclusion of the degree of damage of the hair. To this end, the content of cysteic acid is firstly determined with the aid of near-infrared and/or infrared spectra of the keratin fibres of an individual and a degree of damage is derived via a calibration model. Individual treatment advice is output on the basis of the determined degree of damage.

Abstract: The invention aims to improve the cleaning performance of washing agents when washing textiles. This was substantially achieved by the use of N-carboxy-sulfoalkylated or N-sulfoalkylated chitosan.

Abstract: The oxidizing and bleaching effect of peroxygen compounds at low temperatures was to be improved. This was substantially achieved through the use of organic peroxoacids under perhydrolysis conditions with compounds which form cationic groups and in which a quaternary nitrogen atom is part of a heterocyclic 5-membered functional group.
