  • Patent number: 5656584
    Abstract: A process for producing a particulate laundry additive composition produces a particulate laundry additive for perfume delivery in laundry detergent compositions, especially those in the form of granules or agglomerates. The process includes mixing a porous carrier material, typically containing perfume, and an encapsulating material, typically a carbohydrate material, and then compacting the mixture to form agglomerates. The agglomerates which include the porous carrier particles enrobed with the encapsulating material are then sized into particles for incorporation into a detergent product. The process may be employed to produce particulate additive compositions which may be used in fabric softening and dishwashing as well as laundry detergent compositions.
