Abstract:
A hydrocolloid or aqueous solution comprising a poly alpha-1,3-glucan ether compound is disclosed having a viscosity of at least about 10 centipoise (cPs). The poly alpha-1,3-glucan ether compound in these compositions has a degree of substitution of about 0.05 to about 3.0. Also disclosed is a method for increasing the viscosity of a hydrocolloid or aqueous composition using a poly alpha-1,3-glucan ether compound.

Abstract:
Provided is a detergent having a high detergency against corneum-derived stains and a method for evaluating the ability of an enzyme to degrade corneum-derived stains. The detergent a M23A subfamily protease as an active ingredient. The method for evaluating the ability of the enzyme to degrade corneum-derived stains comprises obtaining the degrading activities of the test enzyme on a reference peptide and one or more substrate peptides and evaluating the ability of the test enzyme to degrade corneum-derived stains based on the degrading activities of the test enzyme on the reference peptide and the substrate peptide, wherein the reference peptide is GGGGG or GGGG, the one or more substrate peptides are selected from the group consisting of GGGXG, GXGGG, GGXG, and GXGG, and X is any amino acid residue other than glycine.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a cationic polysaccharide in a detergent composition used for treating dyed textile fibers in an aqueous medium, in order to reduce the loss of color of the dyed fibers when treating same using said detergent composition.
Abstract:
This relates to granular laundry detergent products characterized by efficient mass and volume compaction, fast dissolution or dispersion and enhanced suds profile, which are particularly useful for hand-washing fabric under suboptimal washing conditions.
