Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A dishwashing detergent may include a hydrogen peroxide source, a bleach catalyst, and a protease. The protease may include an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID NO: 1 over its entire length and at least one amino acid substitution at at least one of the positions corresponding to positions 12, 43, 122, 127, 154, 156, 160, 211, 212, and 222, relating in each case to the numbering according to SEQ ID NO: 1.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A dishwashing detergent comprising: a hydrogen peroxide source; a bleach catalyst selected from the group consisting of a complex of manganese with 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (Me-TACN) and a complex of manganese with 1,2,4,7-tetramethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (Me/Me-TACN); and a protease comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 98.8% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID NO: 1 over its entire length, wherein the protease comprises the following amino acid substitution variant: (i) M211L and P212D, wherein the numbering is based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO: 1. 2 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogen peroxide source is selected from the group consisting of sodium percarbonate, sodium perborate tetrahydrate, sodium perborate monohydrate, and any combination thereof. 3 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein the protease is present in an amount ranging from 1×10 −8 to 10 wt. %, based on the active protein content of the protease. 4 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein the detergent is a machine dishwashing detergent. 5 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , further comprising at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of a builder, a tenside, an anionic polymer, an enzyme, and any combination thereof. 6 . A method for removing a protein-containing stain on a hard surface, the method comprising: contacting the hard surface with a cleaning composition comprising the dishwashing detergent of claim 1 . 7 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein the bleach catalyst is present in an amount ranging from 0.0025 wt. % to 1 wt. %, based on the total weight of the dishwashing detergent. 8 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogen peroxide source is present in an amount ranging from 2 wt. % to 30 wt. %, based on the total weight of the dishwashing detergent. 9 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 8 , wherein the hydrogen peroxide source is present in an amount ranging from 6 wt. % to 15 wt. %, based on the total weight of the dishwashing detergent. 10 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , further comprising tetraacetylethyl ethylenediamine (TAED). 11 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 5 , wherein the enzyme comprises an ingredient selected from the group consisting of a protease, an amylase, a cellulase, a pectin-splitting enzyme, a hemicellulase, a mannanase, a tannase, a xylanase, a xanthanase, a β-glucosidase, a carrageenase, a perhydrolase, an oxidase, an oxidoreductase, a lipase, and any combination thereof. 12 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 11 , wherein the enzyme is an enzyme combination selected from the group consisting of a protease and an amylase, a protease and a lipase, a protease and a cellulose, a protease and a mannanase, an amylase and a lipase, an amylase and a cellulose, an amylase and a mannanase, a lipase and a cellulose, a lipase and a mannanase, a lipase and a cellulose, a protease, an amylase and a lipase, a protease, an amylase and a cellulose, a protease, an amylase and a mannanase, an amylase, a lipase and a cellulose, an amylase, a lipase and a mannanase, a lipase, a cellulase and a mannanase, a protease, an amylase, a lipase and a cellulose, and a protease, and an amylase, a cellulase and a mannanase. 13 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 1 , wherein the hydrogen peroxide source is sodium percarbonate. 14 . A dishwashing detergent comprising: sodium percarbonate; a complex of manganese with 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (Me-TACN); and a protease comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 98.8% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID NO: 1 over its entire length, wherein the protease comprises the following amino acid substitution variant: (i) M211L and P212D, wherein the numbering is based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO: 1. 15 . The dishwashing detergent of claim 14 , further comprising tetraacetylethyl ethylenediamine (TAED).
