  • Patent number: 8802614
    Abstract: A hydrolytic enzyme is to be stabilized in a liquid surfactant preparation. This is achieved by using a component that stabilizes the hydrolytic enzyme and encompasses a multiply substituted benzenecarboxylic acid that has a carboxyl group on at least two carbon atoms of the benzene residue.

  • Publication number: 20140186868
    Abstract: The stabilization of a hydrolytic enzyme in a liquid preparation is to be improved through a component that stabilizes the hydrolytic enzyme. This is accomplished by a method for adapting a hydrolytic enzyme to a component that stabilizes the hydrolytic enzyme, comprising the following method steps: a) providing a hydrolytic enzyme (starting enzyme) and a component that stabilizes the hydrolytic enzyme and that comprises a reversible inhibitor of the hydrolytic enzyme; b) changing the amino acid sequence of the hydrolytic enzyme in at least one position, by substitution, deletion or insertion; c) determining the relative activity of the hydrolytic enzyme from step b) and the relative activity of the starting enzyme in a liquid preparation; d) selecting the hydrolytic enzyme that has a reduced relative activity by comparison with the relative activity of the starting enzyme.

  • Publication number: 20140106439
    Abstract: In a dishwashing liquid, the cleaning performance, in particular on bleachable stains such as, for example, tea stains, is to be improved. This succeeds using a dishwashing liquid which comprises a hydrogen peroxide source, a bleaching catalyst and a protease that, in native electrophoresis on a polyacrylamide gel, has a migration distance that is longer than the migration distance of the protease as per SEQ ID NO. 1.

  • Publication number: 20140038878
    Abstract: In a washing or cleaning agent that contains a solid enzyme formulation, the intention is to improve shelf stability in terms of enzymatic activity. This is achieved by a washing or cleaning agent comprising an enzyme granulate, the granulate comprising, besides the enzyme, the following components: (a) 68 to 90 wt % (w/w) sulfate, in particular alkali metal sulfate, particularly preferably sodium sulfate, (b) 0.1 to 10.5 wt % (w/w) polyethylene glycol, (c) 0.5 to 14.5 wt % (w/w) granulation adjuvant.
