Abstract
The invention concerns a composition for cotton textile care in particular, comprising an anionic polysaccharide (in particular anionic polygalactomannan) having a mole weight higher than 250000. The composition can be a solid or liquid detergent formulation, a liquid rinsing and/or softening formulation, a drying additive contacted with wet textile in a dry textile, an aqueous ironing formulation, a prespotting washing additive deposited on the textile before a washing operation.

1-24. (canceled)
A composition for caring for articles made of textile fibers, comprising at least one anionic polysaccharide with a weight-average molar mass of greater than 250 000, the native skeleton of which is a polysaccharide made of
- a main chain comprising identical or different anhydrohexose units, and
- branches comprising at least one neutral or anionic anhydropentose and/or anhydrohexose unit
- the anhydrohexose or anhydropentose units of said anionic polysaccharide being substituted or modified with at least one group, said group consisting of an anionic group or a group that is optionally anionized at the working pH of said composition, the degree of substitution or of modification DSi of the anhydrohexose or anhydropentose units with said anionic or anionizable group(s) ranging from 0.1 to less than 3.
The composition as claimed in cliam 25, wherein said native skeleton is a galactomannan, galactoglucomannan, xyloglucan, a xanthan gum, a scleroglucan, succinoglycans, a rhamsan or a welan gum.
