Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising a structured benefit agent pre-mix or delivery vehicle comprising benefit agent structured with crystalline materials, as defined, which when separately prepared and combined after preparation, provides enhanced delivery of benefit agent from a personal product bar carrying composition into which the premix is added. The use of structured benefit agent also enhances delivery of separate benefit agents in the premix (which may or may not be structured) and of separate benefit agents added separately from the premix.

Abstract: The invention provides bar compositions comprising anionic surfactant, soap, free fatty acid and source of divalent cation sufficiently soluble to precipitate soluble soaps found in the molten process used to make the bars. By this interaction, improved finishing properties are observed.

Abstract: The invention provides a molten process for making compositions comprising anionic, surfactant soap and free fatty acid using a source of divalent cation sufficiently soluble to interact with soluble soaps. This allows greater amounts of soap to be used while retaining good finishing properties.

Abstract: A chemical cleaning system for a multi-tank or a single-tank mechanical warewashing machine is provided, having at least two separate components for aqueous dissolution or dilution to respective use concentrations, a first component comprising an enzyme or a mixture of an enzyme and a cleaning agent, and a second component comprising a bleach, wherein the first component is introduced into a wash zone or step and wherein the second component is introduced into a post-rinse zone or step.

Abstract: A solid detergent composition useful for machine dishwashing is described. The product contains a first layer having an oxygen bleach system, a buffering system, a builder, and an enzyme. The first layer dissolves to deliver a pH of about 8.5 to about 11 in the wash water. A second layer includes an effective amount of an acidity agent and a continuous medium having a melting point in the range of from about 35.degree. C. to about 50.degree. C. The material may be a paraffin wax, a natural wax, a polyvinyl ether, fatty acids and mixtures thereof. The second layer dissolves in wash water to deliver a pH of from about 6.5 to about 9. The release order of the functional ingredients allows for a high level of peracid species generation in the initial wash stages followed by optimum bleaching throughout the wash.

Abstract: A solid detergent composition useful for machine dishwashing is described. The product contains a first layer having a buffering system, a builder and an enzyme. The first layer dissolves to deliver a pH of about 9.0 to about 11 in the wash water. A second layer includes a peracid and an acidity agent in a continuous medium having a melting point in the range of from about 35.degree. C. to about 50.degree. C. The material may be a paraffin wax, a natural wax, a polyvinyl ether, fatty acids and mixtures thereof. The second layer dissolves in wash water to deliver a pH of from about 6.5 to about 9. The release order of the functional ingredients allows for a optimum bleaching of stains as well as removal of soil.

Abstract: A solid detergent composition and a method of using the composition in a machine dishwasher is described. The product contains a first layer having an oxygen bleaching system, a buffering system of a builder, and an enzyme. The first layer dissolves to deliver a pH of about 8.5 to about 11 in the wash water. A second layer includes an effective amount of an acidity agent selected from an inorganic acid, an organic acid and mixtures thereof, a continuous medium having a melting point in the range of from about 55.degree. C. to about 70.degree. C. and an anti-scaling agent. The second layer dissolves in wash water to deliver a pH of from about 6.5 to about 9.

Abstract: A warewashing composition for a machine dishwasher and a method of using it is described. The composition comprises effective amounts of an organic peroxy acid, and an amylase enzyme which, when incubated at 55.degree. C. in a solution of 2 mM sodium citrate, 1 mM epsilon phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in 36 ppm water at pH 8.0, has a half-life of two minutes or greater based on an activity vs. time plot obtained via monitoring color development at 405 nm of solution samples incubated with p-nitrophenyl-.alpha.-D-maltoheptaoside as substrate and gluco amylase and .alpha.-glucosidase as coupled enzymes; and 1% to 75% by weight of a builder. A 1% aqueous solution of the composition must have a pH of less than 10.
