Raw material compositions with reducing sugars and maillard reaction inhibiting enzymes

Abstract

Methods of preventing browning reactions of a raw material compositions, and a formulations containing a sustainable raw material useful as a component in liquid laundry detergents are described. The methods and formulations involve adding a Maillard reaction inhibiting enzyme to the raw material composition, which prevents the reducing sugar from reacting with an amine source and causing discoloration. The raw material composition can be used as a component in a detergent composition, such as a liquid laundry detergent, that exhibits increased shelf-life and consumer confidence. The sustainable raw material can be a sustainable polymer, a sustainable solvent, or a mixture thereof, and the Maillard reaction inhibiting enzyme can be hexose oxidase, fructosamine oxidase, fructosamine kinase, carbohydrate oxidase, or combinations thereof.
