STABLE AQUEOUS ENZYME COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A stabilized aqueous enzyme composition comprising water, from about 0.1 % to about 75 % by weight of a detergent surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants or anionic surfactants and one or more non-anionic detergent actives, from about 0.001 % to about 10 % by weight proteolytic enzyme, and an effective amount of an enzyme stabilizer having the formula: X-O-(CnH2nO)a-H wherein "X" is an organic radical having from 14 to 22 carbon atoms, "a" is an integer from 10 to 16, and "n" is an integer from 2 to 4, and provided that "X" has a hydrophobicity similar to a linear alkyl group having from 14 to 22 carbon atoms.
