DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING LIPflSfl AND PROTEflSfl FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to laundry detergent compositions containing political enzyme, proteolytic enzyme, and tensile agent, and to the use of various compositions in laundry cleaning processes, to provide whiteness preservation and / or dirt cleaning.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION ce knows of the inclusion of lipase in detergent compositions to improve the performance of cleaning, v.gr. ,, the improvement of the elimination of dirt containing t-rigli cept and stains of the fabrics. Figures are the U.S. Patent. No., 769/173, Cornelissen et al., Issued August 29, 1989; Patent of U. U. No. 5,069,809, Lagerwaard et al., Issued December 3, 1991; Application PCT UO94 / 03578 and HftPPI (Household to Personal Products Tndustry) No. 28/1991. In U.S. Patent No. 4,769,173 a certain class of lipases are described which consist of 1 fungic acids of Hurnicola lanugmosa jun or with strong bleaching agents in detergent compositions. An example of a fungic lipase in this patent is the lipase ex Hurnicola lanuginosa, available from Amano ba or the Arn o-OE brand. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,069,809 describes the combination of strong bleaching agents with a lipase enzyme produced by cloning the gene encoding the lipase produced by Húmicola lanuginosa and expressing the gene in Aspergillus ory¿ae as a host for use in detergent compositions. UO 94/03578 discloses an enzymatic detergent composition containing 10 to 20,000 UL (Political Li Units) per gram of detergent composition of a lipase showing substantial lipolytic activity during the main cycle of a washing process. This lipase is selected in particular on the basis of its inactivation behavior with diisopropyl fluorophosphate (I) FP). Likewise, the inclusion of proteases in detergent compositions for improved cleaning performance is known. For example, protease enzymes are described in US Patent U. fl. No. 5,185,250 and P US lens U. fl. No. 5,204,015. In addition, protease-containing bleaching compositions having increased dirt removal properties are also known, which have been described in UO 94/10284, published May 11, 1194 by The Procter Gamble Company. Commercially available protease enzymes include Al alaR, Esperase ", DurazymR, avinase", riaxatase *, MaxacalR and HaxapernR 15 (flaxacal genetic engineering protein); Pur fectR and subtilisin BPN and RPN '"Of the lipase enzymes, only the lipases derived from Hurnicola lanugmosa and produced on Aspergillus oryzae as a host have so far found wide application as an additive for fabric washing products. It is available under the brand name Lipolase "from Novo Nordisk, Gormsen and rialrnos describe in HAPPI the Lipolase co or the first detergent lipase with a relevant commercial performance in cost based on the use of recombinant DNA technology on an industrial scale. elimination of lipoiase spots, Novo Nordisk has done a number of vanantes.UO 92/05249 describes the D96L variant of the native lug of Humicola lanugmosa that improves the efficiency of butter stain removal by a factor 4.4 over the 11 pass type wild-type (enzymes compared in an amount ranging from 0.075 to 2.5 g of protein per liter.) Example 20 herein describes the storage stability of certain of these types of liquids in liquid detergent compositions in the presence of the Alcalase® protease. The research description No. 35944 published on March 10, 1994 by Novo Nordisiv, describes that vanishing lipase (D96!) Can be added in an amount corresponding to O.OOl-lOOmg of vanishing lipase per liter of wash liquor, the compositions herein are said to optionally comprise "one or more other enzymes, such as amylase, cutmase, protease, cellulose, peroxidase and idase. " Finally, detergent compositions comprising combinations of lipolase and certain proteases are known commercially, for example in U.S. Tide "and in Europe flpelR (both brands sold by The Procter Gamble Cornpany). However, the benefits of conserving whiteness and cleaning dirt on fabrics using combinations of iipase and protease, preferably low levels of the D96L lipase variant in detergent compositions, have not been previously recognized. It has been found that the lipase enzymes can be combined with protease enzymes in surfactant compositions to obtain surprisingly effective dirt cleaning and / or preservation benefits of whiteness. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide improved laundry cleaning compositions using lipase enzymes, protease enzymes and surfactants. Another object in the present is to provide a means for removing greasy dirt from fabrics using laundry compositions containing iipase, protease and surfactant. A further object is to provide a means for maintaining whiteness of fabrics using laundry compositions containing lipase, protease and surfactant. These and other objects are ensured herein as can be seen from the following disclosures.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to laundry detergent compositions comprising: a) a lipase enzyme other than lopilaea; b) a protease enzyme different from Alcalase®; and c) a tension agent; and wherein said compositions comprise levels of enzyme lipase and enzyme protease sufficient to increase the whiteness performance of said compositions. Solid laundry detergent compositions (preferably granules) are preferred, comprising a) a D96L variant of native lipase lipase enzyme derived from Humic! a lanuginosa; b) a protease enzyme, and c) a surfactant agent; and wherein further said compositions comprise levels of said enzyme lipase and enzyme protease sufficient to increase the bleaching performance of said compositions. Laundry detergent compositions comprising: a) a lipase enzyme (preferably lipolase and / or a D96L variant of lipase enzyme of the native lipase derived from Hurnicola lanuginosa) are also preferred; b) a protease enzyme that is derived from a carbonyl hydrolase precursor by replacing the amino acid residue at the position in said carboyl hydrolase with a +76 amino acid residue (preferably in combination with one or more amino acid residue positions) with a different amino acid equivalent to those selected from the group consisting of +99, * 101, + 103, +104, +107, +123, * -27, +105, +109, +126, +128, -135, +156, + 166, "-195, 197, +204, +206, +210, +216, +217, +218, +222, +260, +265, and / or +274) according to the number of Bacillus subtyle yloliguefaciens; and c) a surfactant agent; and wherein in addition said compositions comprise levels of enzyme lipase and enzyme protease sufficient to enhance the performance of said compositions. The D96L variant of the preferred lipolytic enzyme of native Humicola lanuginosa lipase is preferably incorporated in detergent compositions at a level of 50 olic units (UL) at 8500 UL per liter of wash solution. Finally. the present invention relates to? ne < For fabric laundry to preserve whiteness and provide for dirt cleaning, said methods comprise contacting fabrics that require whiteness and dirt cleaning with an aqueous solution of a composition comprising enzyme lipase and protease enzyme. sufficient levels to increase the whiteness performance of said composition. All percentages, ratios and proportions in the present are by weight, unless otherwise specified. All of the documents cited are in part relevant, and incorporated herein by reference. L, if limited to theory, it is believed that dirt stains are the result of combinations of greasy stains and particle stains. The fatty spots include lipids, proteins and pigments that are deposited over time on the fabrics by contact with human or animal skin. Most lipids are secreted from the sebaceous gland or sebum. Proteins and pigments from skin fragments are released by the breakdown of epithelial cells. The particulate stains mainly comprise dirt carried by the air and dust from the ground / floor. It is believed that sebum is the main dirt preeente in the laundry, and its elimination is important since the non-eliminated fat acts as a matrix to retain particulate dirt. It is further believed that the compounds present in the sebum can be oxidized to contribute to the yellowing of the fabrics. Particulate soils include the topsoil and products formed during the incomplete combustion of petroleum products. "Dirt cleaning", as used herein, refers to the ability of a detergent composition to eliminate such fouling, during one or more washes, resulting in a possible improvement in the appearance of the fabric. The whiteness preservation is the tracking of the whiteness of washed and used fabrics during a number of washing cycles. A detergent with good performance has a good whiteness preservation profile, that is, it ensures that the whiteness of the washed fabrics is preserved at a high level during the complete cycle of use and washing duration. "Whiteness performance", as used herein, refers to the relative ability of laundry detergent compositions comprising lipid enzymes and protease (as compared to the same compositions comprising only enzyme protease or enzyme lipase, ba or any comparative test conditions that are used) to produce cleaning results of dirt and / or preservation of whiteness.

By vanant D96L of lipolytic enzyme is meant the lipase variant ßsegún described in the patent application UO 92/05249 viz. wherein the residue of aspartic acid (D) of lipase native to ex Hunicola lanuginosa in position 96 is changed to Leucma (L). According to this nomenclature, said substitution of aspartic acid by leucine in position 96 is shown as D96L. To determine the activity of enzyme D96L, the normal Lu test was used (Analytical method, internal number Novo Nor-disk 95/6-GB 1991.02.07). A substrate for D96L was prepared by sizing glycerin tributyrate (Merck) using gum arabic as an emulsifier. Lipase activity was determined at pH 7 using est method. of pH. A unit of lipase activity (UL / rng) is defined as the amount needed to release a fatty acid monomorph per minute.
