| abstract |
The present invention relates to detergent compositions, including laundry, dishwashing, and/or hard surface cleaner compositions, comprising a raw starch degrading enzyme characterised by a ratio of activity to degrade raw corn starch (Ra) to activity to degrade gelatinised starch (Ga): [Ra/Ga] above 0.2, preferably above 0.35. Such compositions provide excellent removal of starch-containing stains and soils, and when formulated as laundry compositions, excellent whiteness maintenance and dingy cleaning. |
