Particulate laundry additive

A composition comprising a plurality of particles, said plurality of particles comprising:

• about 25% to about 99% by weight water soluble carrier;
• and
• about 0.01% to 50% by weight antioxidant selected from:
• alkylated phenols having the formula of
• wherein R1 is a C3-C6 branched alkyl;
• x is 1 or 2;
• at least one R1 is ortho to the OH group;
• R is selected from —OH, C2-C22 linear alkyl, C3-C22 branched alkyl, and (CnH2n)y(CO2)R2, where the index n is 1 to 6, the index y is 0 or 1;
• R2 is selected from C1-C8 linear alkyl, C3-C8 branched alkyl, and (CmH2mO)zR3 where each m is independently 1 to 4, the index z is 1 to 20, R3 is H or C1-C4 linear alkyl;
• alkylated phenols having the formula of
• wherein x is 1 or 2;
• each R4 is independently selected from C1-C6 linear alkyl, and C3-C16 branched alkyl, provided when x is 2, at least one R4 in the alkylated phenol is not t-butyl;
• wherein at least one R4 is positioned on the ring ortho to the hydroxyl group;
• R5 is selected from C1-C22 linear alkyl, C3-C22 branched alkyl, (CrH2rO)wR9 where each r is independently 1 to 4, the index w is 1 to 20, R9 is H or C1-C4 linear alkyl, and (CnH2n)yC(O)QR6, where Q is independently selected from —O—, —S—, and —NR7—, wherein R7 is selected from H and C1-C4 alkyl;
• where the index n is 1 to 6;
• the index y is 0 or 1;
• R6 is selected from C1-C8 linear alkyl, C3-C8 branched alkyl, and GR8 wherein G is a divalent organic moiety with weight from 12 to 1,443 Da;
• R8 is H, C1-C4 linear alkyl, C(O)(CnH2n)yC6H4(R4)xOH, and mixtures thereof, wherein n, y, x and R4, which are independently selected for R8, are defined as above
• alkylated phenols having the formula of
• wherein each index x is independently 1 or 2;
• each R4 is independently selected from C1-C6 linear alkyl;
• wherein each R4 is positioned either ortho- or para- to the OH group on its ring, and wherein the two points of attachment of the —CR10R11— bridge are ortho-, para-, or a mixture thereof;
• R10 and R11 are individually selected from H and C1-C6 linear alkyl;
• aryl amines;
• and mixtures thereof;
• wherein said antioxidant is dispersed in a matrix of said water soluble carrier.
