Automatic dishwashing compositions comprising multiperacid-forming bleach activators

Abstract: Improved automatic dishwashing detergent compositions, especially granular detergents, comprising bleach activators which form multiperacids, especially specific monoquaternary substituted bis(peroxycarbonic) acids, upon perhydrolysis are provided.

Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention is in the field of automatic dishwashing detergent compositions useful in domestic machine dishwashing, especially automatic dishwashing compositions (ADD's) comprising particular bleach activators which form multiperacids upon perhydrolysis. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Automatic Dishwashing is a demanding field in which specialized detergent formulations are required to deliver efficient and effective sanitization and cleansing of dishware, including stain removal and tough food cleaning. Automatic dishwashing has some unique constraints as compared to fabric laundering; for example, spotlessness and lack of film on glasses and silverware is particularly important. In many laundering operations, in contrast, there is a tolerance for substances which may be greasy, oily, soapy or lubricious, often fabric softeners or fatty acid salts, being deposited on the substrate being cleaned. In modem automatic dishwashing formulations, tough food cleaning performance is essential, and this is commonly accomplished by detersive enzymes. Alkalis are also used, but may be highly corrosive, especially at high levels. Stain removal, for example of stains deposited by hot beverages such as tea, coffee or the like is especially sought after by the consumer. This is commonly accomplished by a variety of bleaches. Several aspects of automatic dishwashing detergent compositions are markedly different from laundry compositions. For example, special nonionic surfactant types are used owing to the very low tolerance for foam production in domestic spray-arm dishwashers; and builder systems tend to include significantly different silicates from those commonly used in laundry compositions. Owing to the enzyme-deactivating nature of some of the most effective bleaches, especially hypochlorite bleaches, compromise detergent formulations have often been provided. This includes formulations in which a relatively mild and enzyme-compatible hydrogen peroxide source, such as sodium perborate, is combined with the enzymes; optionally with tetraacetylethylenediamine as a bleach activator. Various efforts have been made to improve the efficacy of bleach activators and hundreds of such activators have been described in the literature; however, at present, only tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) appears to be commercially available in an automatic dishwashing composition. Reasons for the lack of commercially successful improvements may include that the thrust of bleach activator development efforts has been directed to improvements for laundry compositions which are not easily adaptable for automatic dishwashing. Bleach activators may, for example, yield foam-forming or malodorous peracids, neither of which are acceptable for automatic dishwashing in a spray-action domestic dishwasher. Unfortunately, there has been little teaching in the art as to which of the now so numerous bleach activators would be problem-free in the unique automatic dishwashing context. Other possible explanations for the lack of success of new bleach activators in automatic dishwashing is that certain improved bleach activators may, though they effectively improve bleaching and stain removal, have undesirable tendencies to deposit on the dishware; or they may simply be too costly or mass-inefficient. The disclosure of many bleach activators in the context of laundry formulations includes the suggestion that quaternary substituted versions of such activators may indeed be of a depositing nature and have desirable fabric conditioning properties. See, for example, U.S. 4,751,015 at col. 3, lines 22-27. In light of this teaching and in view of the recognized need to minimize deposition tendencies of ingredients in automatic dishwashing, the automatic dishwashing detergent formulator would be inclined to avoid such bleach activators. This patent as well as EP 427,224 and EP 408,131 are also illustrative of disclosures of bleach activators which may include chemical groups which may be cationic and/or which may form peroxycarbonic acids when perhydrolyzed. Among the many efforts which have been made to improve bleach activators for laundry purposes, it has been disclosed that diperacids can have beneficial effects, though there is not apparently any particular direction to the effect that di- or multiperacids, let alone cationic or anionic versions thereof, would be particularly useful in automatic dishwashing. See, for example, Kirk Othmer's Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 4th. Ed., 1992, John Wiley & Sons, Vol. 4, ppg. 271-300, "Bleaching Agents (Survey)" which includes reference to diperoxydodecanedioic acid (DPDA) and its homologs. Such compounds have the formula HOOC(O)(CH 2 ) n C(O)OOH wherein n is typically 10 but can in general range more widely. Although the peroxy moieties of the diperacid are ionizable and hydrophilic, such diperacids contain in addition only a non-hydrophilic aliphatic "spacer", - (CH 2 ) n -, separating the two peracid moieties. In short, they do not contain peroxide-free hydrophiles of the types and substitution patterns described hereinafter. By way of additional diperacid disclosures, EP 68,547 describes aromatic diperoxyacids. U.S. 5,071,584, U.S. 5,041,546 and EP 316,809 describe heterocyclic polypercarboxylic acids and/or salts of amino-polypercarboxylic acids. As in the case of DPDA, such compounds lack a strongly hydrophilic moiety situated in-between the peracid moieties. Another ongoing need in the art of automatic dishwashing is the provision of more effective formulations of the so-called "compact" type: such compositions should preferably deliver uncompromised levels of performance while using lower levels of detersive ingredients. Desirably in view of legislation in certain geographies, such compact formulations should be free from phosphate builder. It is accordingly an object herein to provide an improved automatic dishwashing detergent comprising particularly selected bleach activators, preferably in compact nonphosphate granular form accompanied by certain water-soluble silicates, low-foaming nonionic detersive surfactants particularly adapted for automatic dishwashing use, particular detersive enzymes, and other automatic dishwashing compatible ingredients, all formulated to deliver uncompromised levels of cleaning and stain removal without undesirable spotting/filming, odor or foaming deficiencies. Other objects include the provision of improved bleach activators for automatic dishwashing. BACKGROUND ART Pillersdorf and Katzhendler, Israel J. Chem. 18 , 1979, 330-338 describe certain monocarbonate compounds which may have utility as laundry bleach activators. Kirk Othmer's Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 4th. Ed., 1992, John Wiley & Sons, Vol. 4, ppg. 271-300, "Bleaching Agents (Survey)" reviews bleaches including peroxycarboxylic acids.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It has now unexpectedly been discovered that automatic dishwashing detergent compositions, especially those having compact, granular, nonphosphated, chlorine-free form, are significantly improved by the inclusion of particularly selected bleach activators which form multiperacids upon perhydrolysis. Specifically, the ADD compositions encompassed herein are those comprising an effective amount of a bleach activator; wherein said bleach activator is capable of forming a multiperacid upon perhydrolysis; and further wherein said multiperacid comprises 2 or more, preferably from 2 to about 8, more preferably from 2 to about 4 peroxy moieites selected from the group consisting of peroxycarbonic acid moieties, peroxycarboxylic acid moieties; peroxyimidic acid moieites and mixtures thereof. The bleach activators of this invention preferably do not comprise long-chain moieties, for example C 16 or higher; in the preferred embodiments, the selected bleach activators have low tendency to comicellize with surfactants; when surface active, they preferably are highly water-soluble and have critical micelle concentrations of 10 -1 molar or higher. The term "perhydrolysis" as used supra is well known in the art and relates to the reaction of a bleach activator with hydrogen peroxide to form a peracid. For example a common bleach activator structure in the art is one having the form RC(O)L wherein RC(O) is an acyl moiety and L is a leaving-group. The activator reacts with hydrogen peroxide or a hydrogen peroxide source such as sodium percarbonate or perborate, typically in alkaline aqueous solution, to form a peracid, typically a percarboxylic acid RC(O)OOH or its anion, with loss of a leaving-group, L, or its conjugate acid LH. The terms "peracid" and peroxyacid" are sometimes used interchangeably in the art and are equivalent terms herein. The selected bleach activators herein may in one mode be conveniently described by reference to the peracids they form when perhydrolyzed. It is convenient to do this, inter-alia because it permits unambigous identification of the location of particular hydrophilic substituents. In accordance with the invention certain such substituents must be located inside the multiperacid-forming portion of the bleach activator rather than inside a leaving-group. In general, the leaving groups of the selected bleach activators herein may vary widely. The term "leaving group" is defined in standard texts, such as "Advanced Organic Chemistry", J. March, 4th Ed., Wiley, 1992, p 205. The term "multiperacid" as used herein refers to a peroxy organic compound or peracid having two or more acidic -OOH moieties. It should be understood that such moieties encompass both the protonated and deprotonated, i.e., peroxyanion -OO- forms: these forms are, of course, interconvertible depending on their pK a and the conditions of pH and concentration. The bleach activator is one which is capable of forming a multiperacid comprising at least one peroxide-free hydrophile, preferably situtated between two peroxy moieties. This hydrophile is in addition to the inherently hydrophilic peracid moieties present. In general, the term "peroxide-free hydrophile" is used to distinguish non-bleaching hydrophiles useful herein from the inherently hydrophilic peroxyacid moieties. Peroxide-free hydrophiles ("PFH") useful herein are nonlimitingly illustrated by any member selected from the group consisting of: sulfate, sulfonate, amino, polyoxyalkylene, amine oxide, carboxylate, hydroxyl, phosphonium and phosphate. Preferred are polyoxyalkylene, and sulfonate; more preferable is or polyoxyalkylene (especially polyoxyethylene). Moieties which may be present in the multiperacids, but which do not consititute peroxide-free hydrophiles include those selected from the group consisting of sulfones, sulfoxides, non-polyoxyalkylene-type, e.g. dialkyl ethers, and amides. When a moiety is present, there is preferably only one such moiety. In the foregoing, the bolded valency refers to a valency through which the moiety is covalently connected to the bleach activator: and the non-bolded valencies may in general be connected to any suitable group, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl. All PFH's herein are generally covalently connected into the bleach activator. The preferred automatic dishwashing detergents of the invention are those comprising a bleach activator wherein a PFH is present in a specific position, notably one outside the leaving groups. Moreover, the PFH will preferably be positioned in-between any two peracid-forming moieties in the bleach activator, either "in-line" or as part of a side-chain. Additional PFH-type moieties may, optionally, be present, either in the same portion of the bleach activator, or forming part of leaving-groups of the bleach activator, but the presence of at least one PFH within the peracid-forming portion of the bleach activator is essential. More preferably, the multiperacid formed by the selected bleach activator comprises at least one peroxycarbonic acid moiety; and further said multiperacid comprises no more than one amido- nitrogen atom or quaternary nitrogen atom. In still more preferable embodiments, there is encompassed an automatic dishwashing detergent composition wherein said multiperacid comprises 2 peroxycarbonic acid moieties. In a highly preferred embodiment, the development includes an automatic dishwashing detergent composition comprising a bleach activator selected from and mixtures thereof. In the foregoing structures, the PFH is Short-chain methyl moieties which do not reduce the water solubility of the bleach activator are attached thereto. These bleach activators comprise phenoxy leaving-groups, though in general, alternate leaving-groups may be substituted therefor. These bleach activators form bis(peroxycarbonic) acids as the multiperacid when they are perhydrolyzed. The automatic dishwashing detergent compositions of this invention are preferably substantially free from phosphate builders and chlorine bleach and, optionally but preferably, comprise a hydrogen peroxide source, preferably selected from the group consisting of perborate salts, percarbonate salts and mixtures thereof. Other optional adjunct ingredients are disclosed hereinafter. The present invention also encompasses novel bleach activators which are preferred for use in automatic dishwashing. All percentages and proportions herein are by weight, and all references cited are hereby incorporated by reference, unless otherwise specifically indicated. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Automatic Dishwashing Detergent Compositions ADD compositions of the present invention preferably comprise a source of hydrogen peroxide and a particularly selected bleach activator. The source of hydrogen peroxide is any common hydrogen-peroxide releasing salt, such as sodium perborate or sodium percarbonate. In the preferred embodiments, additional ingredients such as water-soluble silicates (useful to provide alkalinity and assist in controlling corrosion), low-foaming nonionic surfactants (especially useful in automatic dishwashing to control spotting/filming), dispersant polymers (which modify and inhibit crystal growth of calcium and/or magnesium salts), chelants (which control transition metals), builders such as citrate (which help control calcium and/or magnesium and may assist buffering action), alkalis (to adjust pH), and detersive enzymes (to assist with tough food cleaning, especially of starchy and proteinaceous soils) are present. Additional bleach-modifying materials such as bleach catalysts or conventional bleach activators such as TAED, or alternately NOBS, may be added, provided that any such bleach-modifying materials are delivered in such a manner as to be compatible with the purposes of the present invention. The present detergent compositions may, moreover, comprise one or more processing aids, fillers, perfumes, conventional enzyme particle-making materials including enzyme cores or "nonpareils", as well as pigments, and the like. In general, materials used for the production of ADD particles herein are preferably checked for compatibility with spotting/filming on glassware. Test methods for spotting/filming are generally described in the automatic dishwashing detergent literature, including DIN test methods. Certain oily materials, especially at longer chain lengths, and insoluble materials such as clays, as well as long-chain fatty acids or soaps which form soap scum are preferably limited or excluded from the instant compositions. Amounts of the essential ingredients can vary within wide ranges, however preferred automatic dishwashing detergent compositions herein (which have a 1% aqueous solution pH of from about 7 to about 12, more preferably from about 9 to about 12) are those wherein there is present: from about 0.1% to about 70%, preferably from about 0.5% to about 30%, of a source of hydrogen peroxide; from about 0.1% to about 30%, preferably from about 0.1% to about 10%, of the essential bleach activator; from about 0.1% to about 40%, preferably from about 0.1% to about 20%, of a water-soluble silicate; and from about 0.1% to about 20%, preferably from about 0.1% to about 10%, of a low-foaming nonionic surfactant. Such fully-formulated embodiments typically further comprise from about 0.1% to about 15% of a polymeric dispersant, from about 0.01% to about 10%, of a chelant, and from about 0.0001% to about 10% of a detersive enzyme though further additional or adjunct ingredients may be present. Hydrogen Peroxide Source - Hydrogen peroxide sources are described in detail in the hereinabove incorporated Kirk Othmer review on Bleaching and include the various forms of sodium perborate and sodium percarbonate, including various coated and modified forms. An "effective amount" of a source of hydrogen peroxide is any amount capable of measurably improving stain removal (especially of tea stains) from soiled dishware compared to a hydrogen peroxide source-free composition when the soiled dishware is washed by the consumer in a domestic automatic dishwasher in the presence of alkali. More generally a source of hydrogen peroxide herein is any convenient compound or mixture which under consumer use conditions provides an effective amount of hydrogen peroxide. Levels may vary widely and are usually in the range from about 0.1% to about 70%, more typically from about 0.5% to about 30%, by weight of the ADD compositions herein. The preferred source of hydrogen peroxide used herein can be any convenient source, including hydrogen peroxide itself For example, perborate, e.g., sodium perborate (any hydrate but preferably the mono- or tetra-hydrate), sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate or equivalent percarbonate salts, sodium pyrophosphate peroxyhydrate, urea peroxyhydrate, or sodium peroxide can be used herein. Sodium perborate monohydrate and sodium percarbonate are particularly preferred. Mixtures of any convenient hydrogen peroxide sources can also be used. A preferred percarbonate bleach comprises dry particles having an average particle size in the range from about 500 micrometers to about 1,000 micrometers, not more than about 10% by weight of said particles being smaller than about 200 micrometers and not more than about 10% by weight of said particles being larger than about 1,250 micrometers. Optionally, the percarbonate can be coated with a silicate, borate or water-soluble surfactants. Percarbonate is available from various commercial sources such as FMC, Solvay and Tokai Denka. While effective bleaching compositions herein may comprise only the identified bleach activators and a source of hydrogen peroxide, fully-formulated ADD compositions typically will also comprise other adjunct ingredients to improve or modify performance. Bleach Activator - The present ADD compositions comprise an effective amount or a stain removal-improving amount of a particularly defined bleach activator. An "effective amount" or "stain removal-improving amount" of a bleach activator is any amount capable of measurably improving stain removal (especially of tea stains) from soiled dishware when it is washed by the consumer in a domestic automatic dishwasher in the presence of alkali and sodium perborate or sodium percarbonate. In general, this amount may vary quite widely. Preferred levels are illustrated hereinabove. In more detail, the bleach activators useful herein are selected from: and (III) mixtures thereof The number x is an integer from 2 to 4; y is an integer from 1 to 4; n is an integer from 1 to 6, provided that any n may be independently selected for each each G is independently selected from the group consisting of and wherein R 3 , when present, is selected from C 1 -C 12 alkyl and C 6 -C 12 aryl and wherein L, L' and L" are leaving groups. Each R 1 is independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, alkaryl, aryl, phenyl, hydroxyalkyl, and polyoxyalkylene. Each R 2 , when present, is independently selected from alkylene, cycloalkylene, alkylenephenylene, phenylene, arylene, alkoxyalkylene, polyalkoxyalkylene, and hydroxyalkylene, any R 2 being substituted with a moiety selected from H, C 1 -C 20 alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, aralkyl, and alkaryl. Z is an oxidation compatible ion (in general such an ion may be a cation, such as sodium, or an anion - preferred counter-anions are described more fully hereinafter); and j is a number which is selected such that said bleach activator is electrically neutral. Preferred leaving groups are those independently selected from the group consisting of wherein R 4 is selected from -H, -CO 2 R 5 , -OR 5 and -R 5 wherein R 5 is selected from C 1 -C 12 alkyl. A highly preferred leaving-group is one wherein R 4 is -H, that is to say, the leaving-group has the formula Such a leaving-group is preferred on account of superior economy and effectiveness. More generally, as noted, the leaving groups L, L' and L" may vary widely. Suitable leaving-groups are illustrated by any of the following: wherein M is sodium, potassium or ammonium, preferably sodium, and any R 6 , R 7 or R 8 is suitably C 1 -C 12 alkyl. R 6 or R 7 may alternately be hydrogen.

In a preferred embodiment of formula (II), y is from 1 to 2: at least one G is all moieties G are selected from and n is from 1 to 4; R 1 is C 1 -C 8 alkyl, benzyl, 1-naphthylmethylene or 2-naphthylmethylene provided that no more than one R 1 is different from C 1 -C 4 alkyl; and R 5 , when present, is methyl. In a highly preferred embodiment of formula (II), y is 1 ; G is n is 1; R 1 is C 1 -C 4 alkyl or benzyl; and R 4 is H. Counter-anions - Preferred compositions of this invention comprise charge-balancing compatible anions or "counter-ions", identified as "Z" in the bleach activators herein. An index, "j", refers to the number of such counter-ions in the bleach activator. In general, the counter-anions may be monovalent, divalent, trivalent or polyvalent. Available anions such as bromide, chloride or phosphates may be used, though they may be other than preferred for one or another reason, such as bleach reactivity or phosphorus content. Preferred compatible anions are selected from the group consisting of sulfate, isethionate, alkanesulfonate, alkyl sulfate, aryl sulfonate, alkaryl sulfonate, carboxylates, polycarboxylates, and mixtures thereof Preferred anions include the sulfonates selected from the group consisting of methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p -toluenesulfonate, cumenesulfonate, xylenesulfonate, naphthalene sulfonate and mixtures thereof. Especially preferred of these sulfonates are those which contain aryl. Preferred alkyl sulfates include methyl sulfate and octyl sulfate. Preferred polycarboxylate anions suitable herein are nonlimitingly illustrated by terephthalate, polyacrylate, polymaleate, poly (acrylate-comaleate), or similar polycarboxylates; preferably such polycarboxylates have low molecular weights, e.g., 1,000 - 4,500. Suitable monocarboxylates are further illustrated by benzoate, naphthoate, p-toluate, and similar hard-water precipitation-resistant monocarboxylates. Highly Preferred Bleach Activators and Multiperacids As noted in summary, highly preferred detergent compositions herein comprise bleach activators having the following structures: and Also within the scope of the invention are detergent wash baths comprising these activators or the corresponding multiperacids, formed when the bleach activators are reacted with hydrogen peroxide at an alkaline pH provided by alkaline components, such as builders and alkalis, of the detergent more fully described hereinafter. The corresponding multiperacids have the following structures: and With reference to the term "peracid-forming moiety" introduced hereinabove, the preferred bleach activator having structure (I) comprises a peracid-forming moiety having the structure: which together with the leaving-groups and j counter-ions Z constitute the complete bleach activator. Also within the scope of the invention, in accordance with the formulas given hereinabove, are detergents comprising bleach activator wherein the multiperacid-forming moiety is substituted by a neutral peroxy free hydrophile, such as polyoxyethyleneoxy, or by an anionic peroxy-free hydrophile, such as a sulfonated aromatic. Moreover, the peracid-forming moiety may be symmetric or unsymmetric with respect to the type of peracid formed, the latter case being illustrated by: Water-Soluble Silicates - The present automatic dishwashing detergent compositions may further comprise a water-soluble silicate. Water-soluble silicates herein are any silicates which are soluble to the extent that they do not adversely affect spotting/filming characteristics of the ADD composition. Typical levels are in the range from about 1% to about 15%, more preferably from about 3% to about 10% of the composition. Examples of silicates,are sodium metasilicate and, more generally, the alkali metal silicates, particularly those having a SiO 2 :Na 2 O ratio in the range 1.6:1 to 3.2:1; and layered silicates, such as the layered sodium silicates described in U.S. Patent 4,664,839, issued May 12, 1987 to H. P. Rieck. Na SKS-6® is a crystalline layered silicate marketed by Hoechst (commonly abbreviated herein as "SKS-6"). Unlike zeolite builders, Na SKS-6 and other water-soluble silicates usefule herein do not contain aluminum. Na SKS-6 is the δ-Na 2 SiO 5 form of layered silicate and can be prepared by methods such as those described in German DE-A-3,417,649 and DE-A-3,742,043. Na SKS-6 is a preferred layered silicate for use herein, but other such layered silicates, such as those having the general formula NaMSi x O 2x+1 ·yH 2 O wherein M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1.9 to 4, preferably 2, and y is a number from 0 to 20, preferably 0 can be used. Various other layered silicates from Hoechst include Na SKS-5, Na SKS-7 and Na SKS-11, as the α-, β- and γ- forms. Other silicates may also be useful, such as for example magnesium silicate, which can serve as a crispening agent in granular formulations, as a stabilizing agent for oxygen bleaches, and as a component of suds control systems. Silicates particularly useful in automatic dishwashing (ADD) applications include granular hydrous 2-ratio silicates such as BRITESIL® H20 from PQ Corp., and the commonly sourced BRITESIL® H24. Such silicates may be helpful for anticorrosion effects as well as the provision of moderate alkalinity. Liquid grades of various silicates can be used when the ADD composition has liquid form. Within safe limits, sodium metasilicate or sodium hydroxide alone or in combination with other silicates may be used in an ADD context to boost wash pH to a desired level. Low-Foaming Nonionic Surfactant - Surfactants are useful in Automatic Dishwashing to assist cleaning, help defoam food soil foams, especially from proteins, improve water-sheeting action (especially from glass), improve quick-drying action and help control spotting/filming. They are desirably included in the present compositions at levels of from about 0.1% to about 20%. Bleach-stable surfactants, and especially low foaming nonionic surfactants (LFNIs) are preferred. These are suitably at levels of from 0.1% to about 10%, preferably from about 0.25% to about 4% of the composition. LFNIs are illustrated by nonionic alkoxylates, especially ethoxylates derived from primary alcohols, and blends thereof with more sophisticated surfactants, such as the polyoxypropylene/ polyoxyethylene/ polyoxypropylene reverse block polymers. In preferred embodiments the LFNI component is solid at about 95°F (35°C), more preferably solid at about 77°F (25°C). For ease of manufacture of granular ADD's, a preferred LFNI has a melting point between about 77°F (25°C) and about 140°F (60°C), more preferably between about 80°F (26.6°C) and 110°F (43.3°C). In a preferred embodiment, the LFNI is an ethoxylated surfactant derived from the reaction of a monohydroxy alcohol or alkylphenol containing from about 8 to about 20 carbon atoms, excluding cyclic carbon atoms, with from about 6 to about 15 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol or alkyl phenol on an average basis. A particularly preferred LFNI is derived from a straight chain fatty alcohol containing from about 16 to about 20 carbon atoms (C 16 -C 20 alcohol), preferably a C 18 alcohol, condensed with an average of from about 6 to about 15 moles, preferably from about 7 to about 12 moles, and most preferably from about 7 to about 9 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol. Preferably the ethoxylated nonionic surfactant so derived has a narrow ethoxylate distribution relative to the average. The LFNI can optionally contain propylene oxide in an amount up to about 15% by weight. Other preferred LFNI surfactants can be prepared by the processes described in U.S. Patent 4,223,163, issued September 16, 1980, Builloty, incorporated herein by reference. Highly preferred ADDs herein wherein the LFNI is present make use of ethoxylated monohydroxy alcohol or alkyl phenol and additionally comprise a polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene block polymeric compound; the ethoxylated monohydroxy alcohol or alkyl phenol fraction of the LFNI comprising from about 20% to about 80%, preferably from about 30% to about 70%, of the total LFNI. Suitable block polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene polymeric compounds that meet the requirements described hereinbefore include those based on ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane and ethylenediamine as initiator reactive hydrogen compound. Polymeric compounds made from a sequential ethoxylation and propoxylation of initiator compounds with a single reactive hydrogen atom, such as C 12-18 aliphatic alcohols, do not generally provide satisfactory suds control in the instant ADDs. Certain of the block polymer surfactant compounds designated PLURONIC® and TETRONIC® by the BASF-Wyandotte Corp., Wyandotte, Michigan, are suitable in ADD compositions of the invention. A particularly preferred LFNI contains from about 40% to about 70% of a polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene block polymer blend comprising about 75%, by weight of the blend, of a reverse block co-polymer of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene containing 17 moles of ethylene oxide and 44 moles of propylene oxide; and about 25%, by weight of the blend, of a block copolymer of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene initiated with trimethylolpropane and containing 99 moles of propylene oxide and 24 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of trimethylolpropane. Suitable for use as LFNI in the ADD compositions are those LFNI having relatively low cloud points and high hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB). Cloud points of 1% solutions in water are typically below about 32°C and preferably lower, e.g., 0°C, for optimum control of sudsing throughout a full range of water temperatures. LFNIs which may also be used include a C 18 alcohol polyethoxylate, having a degree of ethoxylation of about 8, commercially available as SLF18 from Olin Corp., and any biodegradable LFNI having the melting point properties discussed hereinabove. Co-surfactant - Detergent compositions herein may optionally include co-surfactants such as anionic detersive surfactants, typically at levels of from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the composition although higher levels are possible, for example in rinse aid formulations. Certain anionic co-surfactants, particularly precipitatable fatty carboxylic acids and high-foaming types, are preferably avoided. If used, co-surfactants are typically of a type having good solubility in the presence of calcium, and more preferably, exhibit a limesoap dispersing action. Such anionic co-surfactants are further illustrated by sulfobetaines, alkyl(polyethoxy)sulfates (AES), alkyl (polyethoxy)carboxylates, and C 6 -C 10 alkyl sulfates. Chelating Agents - The compositions herein may also optionally contain one or more transition-metal selective sequestrants, "chelants" or "chelating agents", e.g., iron and/or copper and/or manganese chelating agents. If utilized, chelating agents or transition-metal-selective sequestrants will preferably comprise from about 0.01% to about 10%, more preferably from about 0.05% to about 1% by weight of the compositions herein. Chelating agents suitable for use herein can be selected from the group consisting of aminocarboxylates, phosphonates (especially the aminophosphonates), polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic chelating agents, and mixtures thereof Without intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that the benefit of these materials is due in part to their exceptional ability to control iron, copper and manganese in washing solutions; other benefits include inorganic film prevention or scale inhibition. Commercial chelating agents for use herein include the DEQUEST® series, and chelants from Monsanto, DuPont, and Nalco, Inc. Aminocarboxylates useful as optional chelating agents are further illustrated by ethylenediaminetetracetates, N -hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetates, nitrilotriacetates, ethylenediamine tetraproprionates, triethylenetetraaminehexacetates, diethylenetriamine-pentaacetates, and ethanoldiglycines, alkali metal, ammonium, and substituted ammonium salts thereof In general, chelant mixtures may be used for a combination of functions, such as multiple transition-metal control, long-term product stabilization, and/or control of precipitated transition metal oxides and/or hydroxides. Polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic chelating agents are also useful in the compositions herein. See U.S. Patent 3,812,044, issued May 21, 1974, to Connor et al. Preferred compounds of this type in acid form are dihydroxydisulfobenzenes such as 1,2-dihydroxy-3,5-disulfobenzene. A preferred biodegradable chelator for use herein is ethylenediamine disuccinate ("EDDS"), especially (but not limited to) the [S,S] isomer as described in U.S. Patent 4,704,233, November 3, 1987, to Hartman and Perkins. The trisodium salt is preferred though other forms, such as magnesium salts, may also be useful. Aminophosphonates are also suitable for use as chelating agents in the compositions of the invention when at least low levels of total phosphorus are permitted in detergent compositions, and include the ethylenediaminetetrakis (methylenephosphonates) and the diethylenetriaminepentakis (methylene phosphonates). Preferably, these aminophosphonates do not contain alkyl or alkenyl groups with more than about 6 carbon atoms. Builders - Detergent builders other than silicates will typically be included in the compositions herein to assist in controlling mineral hardness. Inorganic as well as organic builders can be used. Builders are typically used in automatic dishwashing to assist in the removal of particulate soils. The level of builder can vary widely depending upon the end use of the composition and its desired physical form. When present, the compositions will typically comprise at least about 1% builder. High performance compositions typically comprise from about 5% to about 80%, more typically from about 10% to about 40% by weight, of the detergent builder. Lower or higher levels of builder, however, are not excluded. Inorganic or P-containing detergent builders include, but are not limited to, the alkali metal, ammonium and alkanolammonium salts of polyphosphates (exemplified by the tripolyphosphates, pyrophosphates, and glassy polymeric metaphosphates), phosphonates, phytic acid, silicates, carbonates (including bicarbonates and sesquicarbonates), sulfates, and aluminosilicates. However, non-phosphate builders are required in some locales. Compositions herein function surprisingly well even in the presence of "weak" builders (as compared with phosphates) such as citrate, or in the so-called "underbuilt" situation that may occur with zeolite or layered silicate builders. See U.S. Pat. 4,605,509 for examples of preferred aluminosilicates. Examples of carbonate builders are the alkaline earth and alkali metal carbonates as disclosed in German Patent Application No. 2,321,001 published on November 15, 1973. Various grades and types of sodium carbonate and sodium sesquicarbonate may be used, certain of which are particularly useful as carriers for other ingredients, especially detersive surfactants. Carbonates when used herein are preferably incorporated in conjunction with dispersant polymers disclosed hereinafter to minimize spotting/filming, especially on glass. Citrate builders, e.g., citric acid and soluble salts thereof (particularly sodium salt), are polycarboxylate builders of particular importance for heavy duty laundry detergent and automatic dishwashing formulations due to their availability from renewable resources and their biodegradability. Citrates can also be used in combination with zeolite, the aforementioned BRITESIL types, and/or layered silicate or so-called "disilicate" builders. Oxydisuccinates are also useful in such compositions and combinations. More generally, organic detergent builders suitable for the purposes of the present invention include, but are not restricted to, a wide variety of polycarboxylate compounds. As used herein, "polycarboxylate" refers to compounds having a plurality of carboxylate groups, preferably at least 3 carboxylates. Polycarboxylate builder can generally be added to the composition in acid form, but can also be added in the form of a neutralized salt or "overbased". When utilized in salt form, alkali metals, such as sodium, potassium, and lithium, or alkanolammonium salts are preferred. Included among the polycarboxylate builders are a variety of categories of useful materials. One important category of polycarboxylate builders encompasses the ether polycarboxylates, including oxydisuccinate, as disclosed in Berg, U.S. Patent 3,128,287, issued April 7, 1964, and Lamberti et al, U.S. Patent 3,635,830, issued January 18, 1972. See also "TMS/TDS" builders of U.S. Patent 4,663,071, issued to Bush et al, on May 5, 1987. Suitable ether polycarboxylates also include cyclic compounds, particularly alicyclic compounds, such as those described in U.S. Patents 3,923,679; 3,835,163; 4,158,635, 4,120,874 and 4,102,903. Other useful detergency builders include the ether hydroxypolycarboxylates, copolymers of maleic anhydride with ethylene or vinyl methyl ether, 1, 3, 5-trihydroxy benzene-2, 4, 6-trisulphonic acid, and carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid, the various alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts of polyacetic acids such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and nitrilotriacetic acid, as well as polycarboxylates such as mellitic acid, succinic acid, oxydisuccinic acid, polymaleic acid, benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid, carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid, and soluble salts thereof. Also suitable in the detergent compositions of the present invention are the 3,3-dicarboxy-4-oxa-1,6-hexanedioates and the related compounds disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,566,984, Bush, issued January 28, 1986. Useful succinic acid builders include the C 5 -C 20 alkyl and alkenyl succinic acids and salts thereof. A particularly preferred compound of this type is dodecenylsuccinic acid. Specific examples of succinate builders include: laurylsuccinate, myristylsuccinate, palmitylsuccinate, 2-dodecenylsuccinate (preferred), 2-pentadecenylsuccinate, and the like. Laurylsuccinates are the preferred builders of this group, and are described in European Patent Application 86200690.5/0,200,263, published November 5, 1986. Other suitable polycarboxylates are disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,144,226, Crutchfield et al, issued March 13, 1979 and in U.S. Patent 3,308,067, Diehl, issued March 7, 1967. See also U.S. Patent 3,723,322. Aluminosilicate builders may be used in the present compositions though are not preferred for automatic dishwashing detergents. These aluminosilicates can be crystalline or amorphous in structure and can be naturally-occurring aluminosilicates or synthetically-derived. A method for producing aluminosilicate ion exchange materials is disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,985,669, Krummel, et al, issued October 12, 1976. Preferred synthetic crystalline aluminosilicate ion exchange materials useful herein are available under the designations Zeolite A, Zeolite P (B), Zeolite MAP and Zeolite X. Zeolite A is highly preferred. The degree of hydration of the zeolite and its particle size may vary. Preferably, the aluminosilicate has a particle size of about 0.1-10 microns in diameter. Individual particles can desirably be even smaller than 0.1 micron to further assist kinetics of exchange through maximization of surface area. High surface area also increases utility of aluminosilicates as adsorbents for surfactants, especially in granular compositions. Aggregates of silicate or aluminosilicate particles may be useful, a single aggregate having dimensions tailored to minimize segregation in granular compositions, while the aggregate particle remains dispersible to submicron individual particles during the wash. As with other builders such as carbonates, it may be desirable to use zeolites in any physical or morphological form adapted to promote surfactant carrier function, and appropriate particle sizes may be freely selected by the formulator. Fatty acids, such as the C 12 -C 18 monocarboxylic acids, can also be incorporated into the compositions alone, or in combination with the aforesaid builders, especially citrate and/or the succinate builders. Fatty acids or their salts are however undesirable in Automatic Dishwashing (ADD) embodiments in situations wherein soap scums can form and be deposited on dishware. If used, branched fatty acids having a low Krafft temperature for the calcium salt are preferred. Where phosphorus-based builders can be used, the various alkali metal phosphates such as the well-known sodium tripolyphosphates, sodium pyrophosphate and sodium orthophosphate can be used. Phosphonate builders such as ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate and other known phosphonates (see, for example, U.S. Patents 3,159,581; 3,213,030; 3,422,021; 3,400,148 and 3,422,137) can also be used though such materials are more commonly used in a low-level mode as chelants or stabilizers. Dispersant Polymer - Preferred automatic dishwashing (ADD ) compositions herein may additionally contain a dispersant polymer. the equivalent term "polymeric dispersant" sometimes being used. When present, a dispersant polymer in the instant ADD compositions is typically at levels in the range from 0 to about 25%, preferably from about 0.5% to about 20%, more preferably from about 1% to about 8% by weight of the ADD composition. Dispersant polymers are useful for improved filming performance of the present ADD compositions, especially in higher pH embodiments, such as those in which wash pH exceeds about 9.5. Particularly preferred are polymers which inhibit the deposition of calcium carbonate or magnesium silicate on dishware. Dispersant polymers suitable for use herein are further illustrated by the film-forming polymers described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,379,080 (Murphy), issued Apr. 5, 1983. Suitable polymers are preferably at least partially neutralized salts of polycarboxylic acids. The alkali metal, especially sodium salts are most preferred. While the molecular weight of the polymer can vary over a wide range, it is typically in the range from about 1,000 to about 500,000, more preferably is from about 1,000 to about 250,000. More preferably, especially if the ADD is for use in North American automatic dishwashing appliances, suitable dispersant polymers have an average molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 5,000. Other suitable dispersant polymers include those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,308,067 issued March 7, 1967, to Diehl. Unsaturated monomeric acids that can be polymerized to form suitable dispersant polymers include acrylic acid, maleic acid (or maleic anhydride), fumaric acid, itaconic acid, aconitic acid, mesaconic acid, citraconic acid and methylenemalonic acid. The presence of monomeric segments containing no carboxylate radicals such as methyl vinyl ether, styrene, ethylene, etc. is suitable but preferably such segments do not constitute more than about 50% by weight of the dispersant polymer. Copolymers of acrylamide and acrylate having a molecular weight of from about 3,000 to about 100,000, preferably from about 4,000 to about 20,000, and an acrylamide content of less than about 50%, preferably less than about 20%, by weight of the dispersant polymer are suitable for use herein. Preferably, such dispersant polymer has a molecular weight of from about 4,000 to about 20,000 and an acrylamide content of from about 0% to about 15%, by weight of the polymer. Another preferred group of dispersant polymers are low molecular weight modified polyacrylate copolymers. Such copolymers contain as monomer units: a) from about 90% to about 10%, preferably from about 80% to about 20% by weight acrylic acid or its salts and b) from about 10% to about 90%, preferably from about 20% to about 80% by weight of a substituted acrylic monomer or its salt and have the general formula: -[(C(R 2 )C(R 1 )(C(O)OR 3 )] wherein the apparently unfilled valencies are in fact occupied by hydrogen and at least one of the substituents R 1 , R 2 , or R 3 , preferably R 1 or R 2 , is a 1 carbon to about a 4 carbon alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group; R 1 or R 2 may be hydrogen and R 3 may be hydrogen or alkali metal salt. Most preferred is a substituted acrylic monomer wherein R 1 is methyl, R 2 is hydrogen, and R 3 is sodium. Suitable low molecular weight polyacrylate dispersant polymer preferably has a molecular weight of less than about 15,000, preferably from about 500 to about 10,000, most preferably from about 1,000 to about 5,000. The most preferred polyacrylate copolymer for use herein has a molecular weight of about 3,500 and is the fully neutralized sodium salt form of the polymer comprising about 70% by weight acrylic acid and about 30% by weight methacrylic acid. Other suitable modified polyacrylate copolymers include the low molecular weight copolymers ofunsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acids disclosed in U.S. Patents 4,530,766, and 5,084,535. Agglomerated forms of the present ADD compositions may employ aqueous solutions of polymeric dispersants as liquid binders for making the agglomerate (particularly when the composition consists of a mixture of sodium citrate and sodium carbonate). Especially preferred are polyacrylates with an average molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 10,000, and acrylate/maleate or acrylate/fumarate copolymers with an average molecular weight of from about 2,000 to about 80,000 and a ratio of acrylate to maleate or fumarate segments of from about 30:1 to about 1:2. Examples of such copolymers based on a mixture of unsaturated mono- and dicarboxylate monomers are disclosed in European Patent Application No. 66,915, published December 15, 1982. Other dispersant polymers useful herein include the polyethylene glycols and polypropylene glycols having a molecular weight of from about 950 to about 30,000 which can be obtained from the Dow Chemical Company of Midland, Michigan. Such polymers for example, having a melting point within the range of from about 30°C to about 100°C, can be obtained at molecular weights of 1,450, 3,400, 4,500, 6,000, 7,400, 9,500, and 20,000 and are formed by the polymerization of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol with the requisite number of moles of ethylene or propylene oxide to provide the desired molecular weight and melting point of the respective polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol. The polyethylene, polypropylene and mixed glycols are referred to using the formula: HO(CH 2 CH 2 O) m (CH 2 CH(CH 3 )O) n (CH(CH 3 )CH 2 O) o OH wherein m, n, and o are integers satisfying the molecular weight and temperature requirements given above. Yet other dispersant polymers useful herein include the cellulose sulfate esters such as cellulose acetate sulfate, cellulose sulfate, hydroxyethyl cellulose sulfate, methylcellulose sulfate, and hydroxypropylcellulose sulfate. Sodium cellulose sulfate is the most preferred polymer of this group. Other acceptable dispersant polymers are the carboxylated polysaccharides, particularly starches, celluloses and alginates, described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,723,322, Diehl, issued Mar. 27, 1973; the dextrin esters of polycarboxylic acids disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,107, Thompson, issued Nov. 11, 1975; the hydroxyalkyl starch ethers, starch esters, oxidized starches, dextrins and starch hydrolysates described in U.S. Pat No. 3,803,285, Jensen, issued Apr. 9, 1974; the carboxylated starches described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,629,121, Eldib, issued Dec. 21, 1971; and the dextrin starches described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,141,841, McDonald, issued Feb. 27, 1979. Preferred cellulose-derived dispersant polymers are the carboxymethyl celluloses. Yet another group of acceptable dispersants are the organic dispersant polymers, such as polyaspartate although any potentially bleach-reactive polymer or other ingredient is not preferred for use herein. Detersive Enzymes - "Detersive enzyme", as used herein, means any enzyme having a cleaning, stain removing or otherwise beneficial effect in an ADD composition. Preferred detersive enzymes are hydrolases such as proteases, amylases and lipases. Highly preferred for automatic dishwashing are amylases and/or proteases, including both current commercially available types and improved types which, though more bleach compatible, have a remaining degree of bleach deactivation susceptibility. In general, as noted, preferred ADD compositions herein comprise one or more detersive enzymes. If only one enzyme is used, it is preferably an amyolytic enzyme when the composition is for automatic dishwashing use. Highly preferred for automatic dishwashing is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes and amyloytic enzymes. More generally, the enzymes to be incorporated include proteases, amylases, lipases, cellulases, and peroxidases, as well as mixtures thereof Other types of enzymes may also be included. They may be of any suitable origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast origin. However, their choice is governed by several factors such as pH-activity and/or stability optima, thermostability, stability versus active detergents, builders, etc. In this respect bacterial or fungal enzymes are preferred, such as bacterial amylases and proteases, and fungal cellulases. Enzymes are normally incorporated in the instant detergent compositions at levels sufficient to provide a "cleaning-effective amount". The term "cleaning-effective amount" refers to any amount capable of producing a cleaning, stain removal or soil removal effect on substrates such as fabrics, dishware and the like. Since enzymes are catalytic materials, such amounts may be very small. In practical terms for current commercial preparations, typical amounts are up to about 5 mg by weight, more typically about 0.01 mg to about 3 mg, of active enzyme per gram of the composition. Stated otherwise, the compositions herein will typically comprise from about 0.0001% to about 10%, preferably 0.01%-1% by weight of a commercial enzyme preparation. Protease enzymes are usually present in such commercial preparations at levels sufficient to provide from 0.005 to 0.1 Anson units (AU) of activity per gram of composition. For automatic dishwashing purposes, it may be desirable to increase the active enzyme content of the commercial preparations, in order to minimize the total amount of non-catalytically active materials delivered and thereby improve spotting/filming results. Suitable examples of proteases are the subtilisins which are obtained from particular strains of B. subtilis and B. licheniformis . Another suitable protease is obtained from a strain of Bacillus , having maximum activity throughout the pH range of 8-12, developed and sold by Novo Industries A/S as ESPERASE®. The preparation of this enzyme and analogous enzymes is described in British Patent Specification No. 1,243,784 of Novo. Proteolytic enzymes suitable for removing protein-based stains that are commercially available include those sold under the tradenames ALCALASE® and SAVINASE® by Novo Industries A/S (Denmark) and MAXATASE® by International Bio-Synthetics, Inc. (The Netherlands). Other proteases include Protease A (see European Patent Application 130,756, published January 9, 1985) and Protease B (see European Patent Application Serial No. 87303761.8, filed April 28, 1987, and European Patent Application 130,756, Bott et al, published January 9, 1985). An especially preferred protease, referred to as "Protease D" is a carbonyl hydrolase variant having an amino acid sequence not found in nature, which is derived from a precursor carbonyl hydrolase by substituting a different amino acid for a plurality of amino acid residues at a position in said carbonyl hydrolase equivalent to position +76, preferably also in combination with one or more amino acid residue positions 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 numbering of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subtilisin, as described in the patent applications of A. Baeck, et al, entitled "Protease-Containing Cleaning Compositions" having U.S. Serial No. 08/322,676, and C. Ghosh, et al, "Bleaching Compositions Comprising Protease Enzymes" having U.S. Serial No. 08/322,677, both filed October 13, 1994. Amylases suitable herein include, for example, α-amylases described in British Patent Specification No. 1,296,839 (Novo), RAPIDASE®, International Bio-Synthetics, Inc. and TERMANYL®, Novo Industries. Engineering of enzymes (e.g., stability-enhanced amylase) for improved stability, e.g., oxidative stability is known. See, for example J.Biological Chem., Vol. 260, No. 11, June 1985, pp 6518-6521. "Reference amylase" refers to a conventional amylase inside the scope amylases useful in this invention. Further, stability-enhanced amylases, also useful herein, are typically superior to these "reference amylases". The present invention, in certain preferred embodiments, can makes use of amylases having improved stability in detergents, especially improved oxidative stability. A convenient absolute stability reference-point against which amylases used in these preferred embodiments of the instant invention represent a measurable improvement is the stability of TERMAMYL® in commercial use in 1993 and available from Novo Nordisk A/S. This TERMAMYL® amylase is a "reference amylase", and is itself well-suited for use in the ADD (Automatic Dishwashing Detergent) compositions of the invention, as well as in inventive fabric laundering compositions herein. Even more preferred amylases herein share the characteristic of being "stability-enhanced" amylases, characterized, at a minimum, by a measurable improvement in one or more of oxidative stability, e.g., to hydrogen peroxide/tetraacetylethylenediamine in buffered solution at pH 9-10; thermal stability, e.g., at common wash temperatures such as about 60°C; or alkaline stability, e.g., at a pH from about 8 to about 11, all measured versus the above-identified reference-amylase. Preferred amylases herein can demonstrate further improvement versus more challenging reference amylases, the latter reference amylases being illustrated by any of the precursor amylases of which preferred amylases within the invention are variants. Such precursor amylases may themselves be natural or be the product of genetic engineering. Stability can be measured using any of the art-disclosed technical tests. See references disclosed in WO 94/02597, itself and documents therein referred to being incorporated by reference. In general, stability-enhanced amylases respecting the preferred embodiments of the invention can be obtained from Novo Nordisk A/S, or from Genencor International. Preferred amylases herein have the commonality of being derived using site-directed mutagenesis from one or more of the Baccillus amylases, especialy the Bacillus alpha-amylases, regardless of whether one, two or multiple amylase strains are the immediate precursors. As noted, "oxidative stability-enhanced" amylases are preferred for use herein despite the fact that the invention makes them "optional but preferred" materials rather than essential. Such amylases are non-limitingly illustrated by the following: (a) An amylase according to the hereinbefore incorporated WO/94/02597, Novo Nordisk A/S, published Feb. 3, 1994, as further illustrated by a mutant in which substitution is made, using alanine or threonine (preferably threonine), of the methionine residue located in position 197 of the B . licheniformis alpha-amylase, known as TERMAMYL®, or the homologous position variation of a similar parent amylase, such as B. amyloliquefaciens , B . subtilis , or B.stearothermophilus; (b) Stability-enhanced amylases as described by Genencor International in a paper entitled "Oxidatively Resistant alpha-Amylases" presented at the 207th American Chemical Society National Meeting, March 13-17 1994, by C. Mitchinson. Therein it was noted that bleaches in automatic dishwashing detergents inactivate alpha-amylases but that improved oxidative stability amylases have been made by Genencor from B . licheniformis NCIB8061. Methionine (Met) was identified as the most likely residue to be modified. Met was substituted, one at a time, in positions 8,15,197,256,304,366 and 438 leading to specific mutants, particularly important being M 197L and M 197T with the M 197T variant being the most stable expressed variant. Stability was measured in CASCADE® and SUNLIGHT®; (c) Particularly preferred herein are amylase variants having additional modification in the immediate parent available from Novo Nordisk A/S. These amylases do not yet have a tradename but are those referred to by the supplier as QL37+M197T. Any other oxidative stability-enhanced amylase can be used, for example as derived by site-directed mutagenesis from known chimeric, hybrid or simple mutant parent forms of available amylases. Cellulases usable in, but not preferred, for the present invention include both bacterial or fungal cellulases. Preferably, they will have a pH optimum of between 5 and 9.5. Suitable cellulases are disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,435,307, Barbesgoard et al, issued March 6, 1984, which discloses fungal cellulase produced from Humicola insolens and Humicola strain DSM1800 or a cellulase 212-producing fungus belonging to the genus Aeromonas, and cellulase extracted from the hepatopancreas of a marine mollusk ( Dolabella Auricula Solander ). Suitable cellulases are also disclosed in GB-A-2.075.028; GB-A-2.095.275 and DE-OS-2.247.832. CAREZYME® (Novo) is especially useful. Suitable lipase enzymes for detergent use include those produced by microorganisms of the Pseudomonas group, such as Pseudomonas stutzeri ATCC 19.154, as disclosed in British Patent 1,372,034. See also lipases in Japanese Patent Application 53,20487, laid open to public inspection on February 24, 1978. This lipase is available from Amano Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., Nagoya, Japan, under the trade name Lipase P "Amano," hereinafter referred to as "Amano-P." Other commercial lipases include Amano-CES, lipases ex Chromobacter viscosum , e.g. Chromobacter viscosum var . lipolyticum NRRLB 3673, commercially available from Toyo Jozo Co., Tagata, Japan; and further Chromobacter viscosum lipases from U. S. Biochemical Corp., U.S.A. and Disoynth Co., The Netherlands, and lipases ex Pseudomonas gladioli. The LIPOLASE® enzyme derived from Humicola lanuginosa and commercially available from Novo (see also EPO 341,947) is a preferred lipase for use herein. Another preferred lipase enzyme is the D96L variant of the native Humicola lanuginosa lipase, as described in WO 92/05249 and Research Disclosure No. 35944, March 10, 1994, both published by Novo. In general, lipolytic enzymes are less preferred than amylases and/or proteases for automatic dishwashing embodiments of the present invention. Peroxidase enzymes can be used in combination with oxygen sources, e.g., percarbonate, perborate, persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, etc. They are typically used for "solution bleaching," i.e. to prevent transfer of dyes or pigments removed from substrates during wash operations to other substrates in the wash solution. Peroxidase enzymes are known in the art, and include, for example, horseradish peroxidase, ligninase, and haloperoxidase such as chloro- and bromo-peroxidase. Peroxidase-containing detergent compositions are disclosed, for example, in PCT International Application WO 89/099813, published October 19, 1989, by O. Kirk, assigned to Novo Industries A/S. The present invention encompasses peroxidase-free automatic dishwashing composition embodiments. A wide range of enzyme materials and means for their incorporation into synthetic detergent compositions are also disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,553,139, issued January 5, 1971 to McCarty et al. Enzymes are further disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,101,457, Place et al, issued July 18, 1978, and in U.S. Patent 4,507,219, Hughes, issued March 26, 1985. Enzymes for use in detergents can be stabilized by various techniques. Enzyme stabilization techniques are disclosed and exemplified in U.S. Patent 3,600,319, issued August 17, 1971 to Gedge, et al, and European Patent Application Publication No. 0 199 405, Application No. 86200586.5, published October 29, 1986, Venegas. Enzyme stabilization systems are also described, for example, in U.S. Patent 3,519,570. Adjuncts Further Complementing H 2 O 2 Source and Selected Bleach Activator (a) Bleach catalysts - If desired, detergent compositions herein may additionally incorporate a catalyst or accelerator to further improve bleaching or starchy soil removal. Any suitable bleach catalyst can be used. For detergent compositions used at a total level of from about 1,000 to about 5,000 ppm in water, the composition will typically deliver a concentration of from about 0.1 ppm to about 700 ppm, more preferably from about 1 ppm to about 50 ppm, or less, of the catalyst species in the wash liquor. Cobalt catalysts described hereinbelow are more preferably at a level of from about 2 ppm to about 10 ppm of the wash liquor. Typical bleach catalysts comprise a transition-metal complex, for example one wherein the metal co-ordinating ligands are quite resistant to labilization and which does not deposit metal oxides or hydroxides to any appreciable extent under the typically alkaline conditions of machine dishwashing. Such catalyst compounds often have features of naturally occurring compounds such as enzymes but are principally provided synthetically. Highly preferred accelerators include, for example, the cobalt 3+ catalysts, especially {Co(NH 3 ) 5 Cl} 2+ or equivalents thereof with various alternate donor ligands. Such complexes include those formerly disclosed for use in laundry compositions in U.S. Pat. 4,810,410 to Diakun et al, issued March 7, 1989, incorporated herein by reference and are unexpectedly superior in an automatic dishwashing application. The active species thereof is believed to be {Co(NH 3 ) 5 (OOH)} 2+ and is disclosed in J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans., 1994, Vol. 90, 1105-1114, herein incorporated by reference. Alternate catalysts or accelerators are the noncobalt transition metal complexes disclosed in this reference, especially those based on Mo (VI), Ti(IV), W(VI), V(V) and Cr(VI) although alternate oxidation states and metals may also be used. Such catalysts include manganese-based catalysts disclosed in U.S. Pat. 5,246,621, U.S. 5,244,594; U.S. 5,194,416; U.S. 5,114,606; and EP Nos. 549,271 A1, 549,272 A1, 544,440 A2, and 544,490 A1; preferred examples of these catalysts include Mn IV 2 (u-O) 3 (TACN) 2 -(PF 6 ) 2 , Mn III 2 (u-O) 1 (u-OAc) 2 (TACN) 2 (ClO 4 ) 2 , Mn IV 4 (u-O) 6 (TACN) 4 (ClO 4 ) 4 , Mn III Mn IV 4 -(u-O) 1 (u-OAc) 2 -(TACN) 2 -(ClO 4 ) 3 , Mn IV -(TACN)-(OCH 3 ) 3 (PF 6 ), and mixtures thereof wherein TACN is trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane or an equivalent macrocycle; though alternate metal-co-ordinating ligands as well as mononuclear complexes are also possible and monometallic as well as di- and polymetallic complexes and complexes of alternate metals such as iron or ruthenium are all within the present scope. Other metal-based bleach catalysts include those disclosed in U.S. Pat. 4,430,243 and U.S. Pat. 5,114,611. The use of manganese with various complex ligands to enhance bleaching is also reported in the following United States Patents: 4,728,455; 5,284,944; 5,246,612; 5,256,779; 5,280,117; 5,274,147; 5,153,161; and 5,227,084.Transition matals may be precomplexed or complexed in-situ with suitable donor ligands selected in function of the choice of metal, its oxidation state and the denticity of the ligands. Other complexes which may be included herein are those of U.S. Application Ser. No. 08/210,186, filed March 17, 1994. Other suitable transition metals in said transition-metal-containing bleach catalysts include iron, cobalt, ruthenium, rhodium, iridium, and copper. (b) Conventional Bleach Activators - "Conventional Bleach Activators" herein are any bleach activators not encompassed within the definition of the essential bleach activator component and are optional materials for the inventive compositions. If used, they will typically be supplements rather than replacements for the inventive combinations. Suitable levels are from about 0.1% to about 8% of the detergent composition. Such activators are any known activators not specifically included in the essential bleach activator component and are typified by TAED (tetraacetylethylenediamine). Numerous conventional activators are known. See for example activators referenced hereinabove in the background as well as U.S. Patent 4,915,854, issued April 10, 1990 to Mao et al, and U.S. Patent 4,412,934. Nonanoyloxybenzene sulfonate (NOBS) or acyl lactam activators may be used, and mixtures thereof with TAED can also be used. See also U.S. 4,634,551 for other typical conventional bleach activators. Also known are amido-derived bleach activators of the formulae: R 1 N(R 5 )C(O)R 2 C(O)L or R 1 C(O)N(R 5 )R 2 C(O)L wherein R 1 is an alkyl group containing from about 6 to about 12 carbon atoms, R 2 is an alkylene containing from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, R 5 is H or alkyl, aryl, or alkaryl containing from about 1 to about 10 carbon atoms, and L is any suitable leaving group. Further illustration of bleach activators of the above formulae include (6-octanamido-caproyl)oxybenzenesulfonate, (6-nonanamidocaproyl)oxybenzenesulfonate, (6-decanamido-caproyl)oxybenzenesulfonate, and mixtures thereof as described in U.S. Patent 4,634,551. Another class of bleach activators comprises the benzoxazin-type activators disclosed by Hodge et al in U.S. Patent 4,966,723, issued October 30, 1990. Still another class of bleach activators includes acyl lactam activators such as octanoyl caprolactam, 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl caprolactam, nonanoyl caprolactam, decanoyl caprolactam, undecenoyl caprolactam, octanoyl valerolactam, decanoyl valerolactam, undecenoyl valerolactam, nonanoyl valerolactam, 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl valerolactam, t-butylbenzoylcaprolactam, t-butylbenzoylvalerolactam and mixtures thereof The present compositions can optionally comprise aryl benzoates, such as phenyl benzoate. When such an activator is added to the instant compositions, it is preferably of a low-foaming and non-depositing type. (c) Organic Peroxides, especially Diacyl Peroxides - These are extensively illustrated in Kirk Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Vol. 17, John Wiley and Sons, 1982 at pages 27-90 and especially at pages 63-72, all incorporated herein by reference. If a diacyl peroxide is used, it will preferably be one which exerts minimal adverse impact on spotting/filming. Material Care Agents - The present compositions may contain as corrosion inhibitors and/or anti-tarnish aids one or more material care agents other than the hereinbefore referenced silicates. Material Care Agents are preferred especially in countries where electroplated nickel silver and sterling silver are common in domestic flatware, or when aluminium protection is a concern and the composition is low in silicate. Material care agents include bismuth salts, transition metal salts such as those of manganese, certain types of paraffin, triazoles, pyrazoles, thiols, mercaptans, aluminium fatty acid salts, and mixtures thereof and are preferably incorporated at low levels, e.g., from about 0.01% to about 5% of the ADD composition. A preferred paraffin oil is a predominantly branched aliphatic hydrocarbon comprising from about 20 to about 50, more preferably from about 25 to about 45, carbon atoms with a ratio of cyclic to noncyclic hydrocarbons of about 32 to 68 sold by Wintershall, Salzbergen, Germany as WINOG 70®. Bi(NO 3 ) 3 may be added. Other corrosion inhibitors are illustrated by benzotriazole, thiols including thionaphtol and thioanthranol, and finely divided Aluminium fatty acid salts. All such materials will generally be used judiciously so as to avoid producing spots or films on glassware or compromising the bleaching action of the compositions. For this reason, it may be preferred to formulate without mercaptan anti-tarnishes which are quite strongly bleach-reactive or common fatty carboxylic acids which precipitate with calcium. Silicone and Phosphate Ester Suds Suppressors - The automatic dishwashing compositions of the invention can optionally contain an alkyl phosphate ester suds suppressor, a silicone suds suppressor, or combinations thereof. Levels in general are from 0% to about 10%, preferably, from about 0.001% to about 5%. Typical levels tend to be low, e.g., from about 0.01% to about 3% when a silicone suds suppressor is used. Preferred non-phosphate compositions omit the phosphate ester component entirely. Silicone suds suppressor technology and other defoaming agents useful herein are more extensively documented in "Defoaming, Theory and Industrial Applications", Ed., P.R. Garrett, Marcel Dekker, N.Y., 1973, ISBN 0-8247-8770-6, incorporated herein by reference. See especially the chapters entitled "Foam control in Detergent Products" (Ferch et al) and "Surfactant Antifoams" (Blease et al). See also U.S. Patents 3,933,672 and 4,136,045. Highly preferred silicone suds suppressors are the compounded types known for use in laundry detergents such as heavy-duty granules, although types hitherto used only in heavy-duty liquid detergents may also be incorporated in the instant compositions. For example, polydimethylsiloxanes having trimethylsilyl or alternate endblocking units may be used as the silicone. These may be compounded with silica and/or with surface-active nonsilicon components, as illustrated by a suds suppressor comprising 12% silicone/silica, 18% stearyl alcohol and 70% starch in granular form. A suitable commercial source of the silicone active compounds is Dow Corning Corp. Phosphate esters have also been asserted to provide some protection of silver and silver-plated utensil surfaces; however, the instant compositions can have excellent silvercare without a phosphate ester component. If it is desired nonetheless to use a phosphate ester, suitable compounds are disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,314,891, issued April 18, 1967, to Schmolka et al, incorporated herein by reference. Preferred alkyl phosphate esters contain from 16-20 carbon atoms. Highly preferred alkyl phosphate esters are monostearyl acid phosphate or monooleyl acid phosphate, or salts thereof, particularly alkali metal salts, or mixtures thereof. It has been found preferable to avoid the use of simple calcium-precipitating soaps as antifoams in the present compositions as they tend to deposit on the dishware. Indeed, phosphate esters are not entirely free of such problems and the formulator will generally choose to minimize the content of potentially depositing antifoams in the instant compositions. Other Ingredients - Detersive ingredients or adjuncts optionally included in the instant compositions can include one or more materials for assisting or enhancing cleaning performance, treatment of the substrate to be cleaned, or designed to improve the aesthetics or ease of manufacture of the compositions. The fully-formulated product is desirably tested to ensure acceptable levels of spotting/filming and good foam control. Other adjuncts which can also be included in compositions of the invention at their conventional art-established levels, generally from 0% to about 20% of the composition, preferably at from about 0.1% to about 10%, include color speckles, dyes, fillers, germicides, alkalinity sources, hydrotropes, stabilizers, perfumes, solubilizing agents, carriers, processing aids, and, for liquid formulations, solvents. p H and Buffering Variation - In preferred embodiments, the present compositions comprise a combination of ingredients selected so that when the composition is dissolved in water at typical use concentrations of from about 1,000 ppm to about 5,000 ppm, the pH remains in the range of above about 8, preferably from about 9.5 to about 11. Compact formulations are those for which usage concentration in U.S. domestic dishwashers is more typically from about 1,500 to about 3,500 ppm. Many detergent compositions herein will be buffered, i.e., they are relatively resistant to pH drop in the presence of acidic soils. However, other compositions herein, nonlimitingly illustated by rinse aids, may be substantially unbuffered. Techniques for controlling or varying pH at recommended usage levels more generally include the use of not only buffers, but also additional alkalis, acids, pH-jump systems, dual compartment containers, etc., known to those skilled in the art. Detergent compositions herein in granular form typically limit water content, for example to less than about 7% free water, for best storage stability. Storage stability can be further enhanced by limiting the content in the compositions of adventitious redox-active substances such as rust and other traces of transition metals in undesirable form. Certain compositions may moreover be limited in their total halide ion content, or may have any particular halide, e.g., bromide, substantially absent. Bleach stabilizers such as stannates can be added for improved stability and formulations may be substantially nonaqueous if desired. Spotting/Filming and Foam Control - Preferred compositions have spotting and filming grades of 3 or less, preferably less than 2, and most preferably less than 1, as measured by the standard test of The American Society for Testing and Materials ("ASTM") D3556-85 (Reapproved 1989) "Standard Test Method for Deposition on Glassware During Mechanical Dishwashing". Preferred compositions moreover produce less than 2 inches, more preferably less than 1 inch, of suds in the bottom of a domestic spray-arm type automatic dishwasher during normal use conditions (as determined using known methods such as, for example, that described in U.S. Patent 5,294,365, to Welch et al., issued March 15, 1994). Foam control can also desirably be measured by counting spray-arm rotation preferred compositions have minimal impact on arm rotation.

The invention provides numerous advantages to the consumer, such as excellent removal of tea stains, starchy soil removal, excellent spotlessness and lack of film on both glasses and dishware, excellent silvercare, and economy. The ADD's of the above dishwashing detergent composition examples are used to wash tea-stained cups, starch-soiled and spaghetti-soiled dishes, milk-soiled glasses, starch, cheese, egg or babyfood- soiled flatware, and tomato-stained plastic spatulas by loading the soiled dishes in a domestic automatic dishwashing appliance and washing using either cold fill, 60°C peak, or uniformly 45-50°C wash cycles with a product concentration of the exemplary compositions of from about 1,000 to about 5,000 ppm, with excellent results. The foregoing examples are illustrative and are not intended to be limiting of the invention. Accordingly, the present automatic dishwashing compositions may be formulated into any convenient form, including liquids, pastes or gels, solids such as tablets; low density, noncompact granules; and compact granules of either phosphate-built or nonphosphate built types. Moreover, the selected bleach activators may be incorporated into rinse aids, especially solid blocks. In this mode, they complement and boost the bleaching action delivered by conventional automatic dishwashing products, especially those comprising a source of hydrogen peroxide.
