Abstract
The aim is to improve detergency, in particular on custard stains, in an essentially solid dishwashing detergent. This is accomplished with an essentially solid dishwashing detergent which comprises a protease which comprises an amino acid sequence which is at least 80% identical to the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID NO. 1 and which has the amino acid glutamic acid (E) or aspartic acid (D) at position 99 in the count according to SEQ ID NO. 1.
Claims21
A predosed, essentially solid dishwashing detergent comprising a protease which comprises an amino acid sequence which is at least 90% identical to the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID NO:
- 1 and which has the amino acid glutamic acid (E) or aspartic acid (D) at position 99 in the count according to SEQ ID NO:1, wherein any other differences between SEQ ID NO:1 and the amino acid sequence of the protease are conservative amino acid substitutions, and wherein the predosed, essentially solid dishwashing detergent comprises less than 50% by weight of a liquid fraction and has improved detergency against custard stains compared to a composition lacking a protease having an E or D at position 99 in the count according to SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
