Abstract
Description
'Flüssige Enzymzubereituπg" 'Liquid enzyme preparation'
Die Erfindung betrifft eine flüssige im wesentlichen wasserfreie Enzymzubereitung, die beispielsweise als Stammlösung zur Herstellung von Flüssigwaschmitteln oder dergleichen verwendet werden kann.The invention relates to a liquid, essentially anhydrous enzyme preparation which can be used, for example, as a stock solution for the production of liquid detergents or the like.
Es ist bekannt, in Waschmitteln, auch Flüssigwaschmitteln, Enzyme, insbesondere Proteasen, einzusetzen. Für den Einsatz in festen Waschmitteln werden die Enzyme zu festen körnigen Zubereitungen aufgearbeitet. Mit dem Voranschreiten der Flüssigwaschmittel besteht ein Bedarf auch für derartige Zubereitungen, lagerfähige Stammlö- sungen herstellen zu können, die dann in einem nachfolgenden Ver¬ arbeitungsschritt dem Flüssigwaschmittel zugesetzt werden können.It is known to use enzymes, in particular proteases, in detergents, including liquid detergents. The enzymes are processed into solid granular preparations for use in solid detergents. As liquid detergents advance, there is also a need for such preparations to be able to produce stockable stock solutions which can then be added to the liquid detergent in a subsequent processing step.
Enzymlösungen von Hydrolasen, insbesondere Proteasen, sind jedoch per se nicht lagerstabil. Dies gilt insbesondere für solche Enzym- lösungen, die für Flüssigwaschmittel eingesetzt werden sollen, da bei der Aufreinigung der Enzymlösungen anscheinend neben Verunrei¬ nigungen auch Stoffe entfernt werden, die eine Stabilisierung be¬ dingen.However, enzyme solutions of hydrolases, especially proteases, are not per se stable in storage. This applies in particular to such enzyme Solutions which are to be used for liquid detergents, since in the purification of the enzyme solutions apparently, in addition to impurities, substances which cause stabilization are also removed.
In der deutschen Patentanmeldung P 39 18 761 wird eine flüssige, wasserhaltige Enzymzubereitung vorgeschlagen, die 1,5 bis 20 Gew.-% Hydrolasen, 20 bis 40 6ew.-% Propylenglykol und 0,5 bis 5 Gew.-% Borsäure und/oder deren lösliche Salze enthält. Das dort beschrie¬ bene Enzymkonzentrat liegt in Form einer Lösung vor, die zwingend auch Enzymstabilisatoren enthält.German patent application P 39 18 761 proposes a liquid, water-containing enzyme preparation which contains 1.5 to 20% by weight hydrolases, 20 to 40% by weight propylene glycol and 0.5 to 5% by weight boric acid and / or contains their soluble salts. The enzyme concentrate described there is in the form of a solution which also necessarily contains enzyme stabilizers.
Da Lösungen im allgemeinen Veränderungs- und Alterungsprozessen viel stärker ausgesetzt sind als Feststoffe, haben sich die Erfinder die Aufgabe gestellt, eine Enzymzubereitung zu schaffen, die zwar auch flüssig und schüttbar ist, jedoch das Enzym nicht physikalisch ge¬ löst, sondern zumindest teilweise in dispergierter, also fester Form enthält.Since solutions in general are much more exposed to change and aging processes than solids, the inventors have set themselves the task of creating an enzyme preparation which is also liquid and pourable, but which does not dissolve the enzyme physically, but at least partially in a dispersed manner contains solid form.
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist somit eine im wesentlichen wasserfreie, flüssige Enzymzubereitung, enthaltend 5 bis 20 Gew.-% Enzyme, 20 bis 60 Gew.-% Fällungsmittel und ad 100 Gew.-% organische wasser¬ mischbare Lösungsmittel.The invention thus relates to an essentially anhydrous, liquid enzyme preparation containing 5 to 20% by weight of enzymes, 20 to 60% by weight of precipitant and ad 100% by weight of organic water-miscible solvents.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Enzymzubereitungen eignen sich zur Konfektio¬ nierung einer Vielzahl von Enzymen. Bevorzugt können auf diesem Wege flüssige Zubereitungen von Hydrolasen hergestellt werden. Unter den Hydrolasen sind die Proteasen, insbesondere die Proteasen vom Subtilisin-Typ bevorzugt, jedoch können auch andere Proteasen, wie Metallo-Proteasen oder tierische Proteasen auf diesem Wege konfek¬ tioniert werden. Unter den Proteasen sind derzeitig solche Proteasen bevorzugt wie sie in Waschmitteln, insbesondere Flüssigwaschmitteln eingesetzt werden. Es können aber auch verwandte Hydrolasen, wie beispielsweise A ylasen, Lipasen, Cellulasen oder dergleichen in dieser Weise konfektioniert werden.The enzyme preparations according to the invention are suitable for the assembly of a large number of enzymes. Liquid preparations of hydrolases can preferably be prepared in this way. The proteases, in particular the proteases of the subtilisin type, are preferred among the hydrolases, but other proteases, such as metalloproteases or animal proteases, can also be prepared in this way. Among the proteases, proteases such as those in detergents, in particular liquid detergents, are currently preferred be used. However, related hydrolases, such as, for example, ylases, lipases, cellulases or the like, can also be packaged in this way.
Zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Zubereitungen werden die En¬ zyme in dem organischen wassermischbaren Lösungsmittel gelöst und mit einem Fällungsmittel ausgefällt, so daß sie als Dispersion vor¬ liegen. Dabei ist es bevorzugt, den Fällungsschritt unter Rühren durchzuführen, um Feinteiligkeit zu gewährleisten.To prepare the preparations according to the invention, the enzymes are dissolved in the organic water-miscible solvent and precipitated with a precipitant, so that they are present as a dispersion. It is preferred to carry out the precipitation step with stirring in order to ensure fine particle size.
Als organische wasserverdünnbare Lösungsmitteln sind in erster Linie Alkohole geeignet und unter diesen insbesondere mehrfunktionelle Alkohole. Besonders bevorzugte mehrfunktionelle Alkohole sind Propy¬ lenglykol und/oder Glycerin. Geeignet sind jedoch auch andere Gly- kole sowie die Di- und Trimeren der genannten. Zum Auffinden eines geeigneten Lösungsmittels kann der Fachmann in einfacher Weise durch einen Vortest die Löslichkeit feststellen. In den allermeisten Fällen hat sich allerdings 1,2-Propylenglykol als der geeignetste Vorschlag erwiesen.Alcohols are primarily suitable as organic water-dilutable solvents, and among these in particular polyfunctional alcohols. Particularly preferred polyfunctional alcohols are propylene glycol and / or glycerol. However, other glycols and the di- and trimers of the abovementioned are also suitable. To find a suitable solvent, the person skilled in the art can easily determine the solubility by means of a preliminary test. In the vast majority of cases, however, 1,2-propylene glycol has proven to be the most suitable proposal.
Als Fällungsmittel haben sich in erster Linie Tenside bewährt, da diese ein Sedimentieren der in Dispersion vorliegenden erfindungs¬ gemäßen Enzymzubereitungen verhindern bzw. verzögern. Unter den Tensiden sind nichtionische Tenside bevorzugt. Zur Auswahl geeig¬ neter Tenside wird der Fachmann in erster Linie auf bei Raumtem¬ peratur in Substanz flüssige Produkte zurückgreifen. Bewährt haben sich Ethoxylate von Alkoholen mit 6 bis 20 C-Atomen bzw. von Al- kylphenolen mit 8 bis 12 C-Atomen im Alkylteil. Bekanntlich sind derartige Produkte mit beliebigen Ethoxylierungsgraden herstellbar. Für die erfindungsgemäßen Zwecke sind die niedrig ethoxylierten Ty¬ pen (1 bis 10 mol, insbesondere 2 bis 5 mol Ethylenoxid/mol Alkohol bzw. Alkylphenol) bevorzugt. Die erfindungemäßen Enzymzubereitungen können darüber hinaus noch weitere Hilfsstoffe enthalten. So können beispielsweise Stoffe gegen Aktivitätsverlust des Enzyms mit eingesetzt werden. So können bei¬ spielsweise Borsäure und ihre Salze, soweit in den Zubereitungen löslich oder dispergierbar, beigegeben werden. Auch niedere Carbon¬ säuren, insbesondere mehrfunktionelle Carbonsäuren wie Weinsäure oder Zitronensäure können zugegen sein. Die Menge derartiger Stoffe soll dabei 10 Gew.-% der Gesamtzubereitung nicht übersteigen und mindestens 1 Gew.-% betragen.Surfactants have proven themselves primarily as precipitants, since these prevent or delay sedimentation of the enzyme preparations according to the invention which are present in dispersion. Among the surfactants, nonionic surfactants are preferred. For the selection of suitable surfactants, the person skilled in the art will primarily use products which are liquid at room temperature. Ethoxylates of alcohols with 6 to 20 C atoms or of alkylphenols with 8 to 12 C atoms in the alkyl part have proven successful. It is known that such products can be produced with any degree of ethoxylation. The low-ethoxylated types (1 to 10 mol, in particular 2 to 5 mol, ethylene oxide / mol alcohol or alkylphenol) are preferred for the purposes of the invention. The enzyme preparations according to the invention can also contain further auxiliaries. For example, substances against loss of activity of the enzyme can also be used. For example, boric acid and its salts, insofar as they are soluble or dispersible in the preparations, can be added. Lower carboxylic acids, in particular polyfunctional carboxylic acids such as tartaric acid or citric acid, can also be present. The amount of such substances should not exceed 10% by weight of the total preparation and should be at least 1% by weight.
Zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Enzymzubereitungen geht man von den entsprechenden Enzymen in fester Form aus, die durch Fällen oder Trocknen von Enzymlösungen gewonnen werden können. Die festen Enzyme werden dann zunächst in dem mit Wasser mischbaren organischen Lösungsmittel gelöst und es wird unter Rühren das Fällungsmittel zugegeben bis eine Dispersion entstanden ist. Daraufhin können ge- wünschtenfalls weitere Hilfsstoffe zugegeben werden. Es ist möglich, bei dem Lösevorgang leicht zu erwärmen und beim Fällungsschritt zu kühlen, jedoch ist dabei die oberhalb von ca. 60°C geringe Tempera¬ turstabilität der Enzyme zu beachten.To prepare the enzyme preparations according to the invention, the corresponding enzymes in solid form are used, which can be obtained by precipitation or drying of enzyme solutions. The solid enzymes are then first dissolved in the water-miscible organic solvent and the precipitant is added with stirring until a dispersion has formed. If desired, further auxiliaries can then be added. It is possible to heat slightly during the dissolving process and to cool during the precipitation step, but the low temperature stability of the enzymes above about 60 ° C. must be taken into account.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Enzymzubereitungen können als Stammlösung bei der Herstellung von Flüssigwaschmitteln und dergleichen eingesetzt werden. The enzyme preparations according to the invention can be used as a stock solution in the production of liquid detergents and the like.
B e i s p i e lExample
Eine in Waschmittel übliche Subtilisin-Protease wurde in üblicher Weise aus konzentrierter Lösung ausgefällt, abfiltriert, in Aceton dispergiert und erneut abfiltriert. 1 g des so erhaltenen Enzympul¬ vers mit der spezifischen Protease-Aktivität von 2.500.000 HPE/g wurde sodann in 5 g 1,2-Propylenglykol unter Rühren während eines Zeitraums von 2 Stunden gelöst. Unter weiterem Rühren wurden dann 6,6 g eines ethoxylierten Talgalkohols (3 mol EO/ ol Talgalkohol) versetzt. Durch den Talgalkoholzusatz fiel das Enzym in feinst verteilter Form aus, ohne zu sedimentieren. Es entstand eine dünnflüssige, gut schüttbare Dispersion mit einer spezifischen Aktivität von 193.000 HPE/g. A subtilisin protease, which is customary in detergents, was precipitated from concentrated solution in a customary manner, filtered off, dispersed in acetone and filtered off again. 1 g of the enzyme powder thus obtained with the specific protease activity of 2,500,000 HPE / g was then dissolved in 5 g of 1,2-propylene glycol with stirring over a period of 2 hours. With further stirring, 6.6 g of an ethoxylated tallow alcohol (3 mol EO / ol tallow alcohol) were then added. Due to the addition of tallow alcohol, the enzyme precipitated out in a very finely divided form without sedimentation. The result was a thin, well pourable dispersion with a specific activity of 193,000 HPE / g.
