DETERGENT LIQUORS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR USE THEREIN

摘要

Detergent liquors, and compositions for their production, are provided in which acetylated aldohexopyranoses and -pyranosides are employed as peroxybleach precursors in combination with inorganic perhydrate salts, there being at least about 8.5 millimoles of perhydrate present in the detergent liquor and the molar ratio of perhydrate to aldohexopyranose or -pyranoside being ? about 12:1 and the liquor starting pH being > about 9.5, whereby ? 50% of the available acetyl groups are perhydrolysed.
