Described are compositions and methods relating to unit-dose format perhydrolase enzyme systems for use in cleaning applications, such as laundry and dishwashing. A unit -dose package for delivering a perhydrolase enzyme system in a cleaning application, the perhydrolase enzyme system comprising a perhydrolase enzyme component, an acyl substrate component, and a peroxide source component, the package comprising: a first compartment at least partially bounded by a water-soluble material and comprising a first component of the perhydrolase enzyme system; a second compartment at least partially bounded by a water-soluble material and comprising a second component and a third component of the perhydrolase enzyme system; wherein the first component in the first compartment and the second and third components in the second compartment are separated during storage to prevent the formation of peracids, and wherein upon dissolution in an aqueous solution the first compartment and second compartment dissolve simultaneously or sequentially to permit contact of the first, second and third components of the perhydrolase enzyme system to generate peracid. |
