Claims16
-7. (canceled)
A detergent composition comprising one or more xyloglucanases, and optionally at least one additional enzyme, and a detergent adjunct ingredient, wherein the composition comprises less than 1% by weight, preferably 0.5% by weight or less, of an antiredeposition polymer selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid, modified polyacrylic acid polymer, modified polyacrylic acid copolymer, maleic acid-acrylic acid copolymer, carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose gum, and methyl cellulose, or a combination of two or more of said polymers, and wherein the xyloglucanase has an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, SEQ ID NO:
- 2, SEQ ID NO:
- 3, SEQ ID NO:
- 4, SEQ ID NO:
- 5, SEQ ID NO:
- 6 and SEQ ID NO:
- 7 or a xyloglucanase that has an amino acid sequence having at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% or at least 100% sequence identity to any of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, SEQ ID NO:
- 2, SEQ ID NO:
- 3, SEQ ID NO:
- 4, SEQ ID NO:
- 5, SEQ ID NO:
- 6 and SEQ ID NO:
- 7.
(canceled)
A method for improving the sustainability profile of a detergent composition comprising replacing partly or fully antiredeposition polymer of the detergent composition with one or more xyloglucanase, optionally in combination with at least one additional enzyme, wherein the sustainability profile of the detergent composition is improved when one or more antiredeposition polymer polymers of the detergent composition is replaced partly or fully by a biodegradable ingredient.
