Abstract: The present invention relates to detergent compositions, for example those useful for laundering fabrics, washing dishes, or cleaning hard surfaces, comprising: at least about 0,5 % of a longer alkyl chain, mid-chain branched surfactant compounds; and from about 0,001 % to about 10 %, by weight, of a cellulose derivative.

Description: MID-CHAI BRANCHED SURFACTANTS WITH CELLULOSE DERIVATIVES FIELD The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a select amount of a cellulose derivative and mid-chain branched surfactants. Such mid-chain branched surfactants are mixtures of longer alkyl chain mid-chain branched surfactants derived from mid-chain branched primary alkyl hydrophobic groups and selected hydrophilic groups, said mixtures comprising mid-chain branched primary alkyl hydrophobic groups having an average of greater than 14.5 carbon atoms, preferably greater than about 15 carbon atoms, with preferred surfactants herein being mid-chain branched primary alkyl sulfate surfactants and mid-chain branched primary alkyl alkoxylated sulfate surfactants. Thus, the present invention relates to a combination of cellulose derivatives and mixtures of mid-chain branched surfactants which are useful in laundry and cleaning compositions, especially granular and liquid detergent compositions. BACKGROUND Conventional detersive surfactants comprise molecules having a water-solubilizing substituent (hydrophilic group) and an oleophilic substituent (hydrophobic group). Such surfactants typically comprise hydrophilic groups such as carboxylate, sulfate, sulfonate, amine oxide, polyoxyethylene, and the like, attached to an alkyl, alkenyl or alkaryl hydrophobe usually containing from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms. Accordingly, the manufacturer of such surfactants must have access to a source of hydrophobe groups to which the desired hydrophile can be attached by chemical means. The earliest source of hydrophobe groups comprised the natural fats ' and oils, which were converted into soaps (i.e., carboxylate hydrophile) by saponification with base. Coconut oil and palm oil are still used to manufacture soap, as well as to manufacture the alkyl sulfate ("AS") class of surfactants. Other hydrophobes are available from petrochemicals, including alkylated benzene which is used to manufacture alkyl benzene sulfonate surfactants ("LAS"). The literature asserts that certain branched hydrophobes can be used to advantage in the manufacture of alkyl sulfate detersive surfactants; see, for example, U.S. 3,480,556 to deWitt, et al., November 25, 1969. However, it has been determined that the beta-branched surfactants described in the '556 patent are inferior with respect to certain solubility parameters, as evidenced by their Krafft temperatures. It has further been determined that surfactants having branching towards the center of carbon chain of the hydrophobe have much lower Krafft temperatures. See: "The Aqueous Phase Behavior of Surfactants", R.G. Laughlin, Academic Press, N.Y. (1994) p. 347. Accordingly, it has now been determined that such surfactants are preferred for use especially under cool or cold water washing conditions (e.g., 20°C-5°C). Generally, alkyl sulfates are well known to those skilled in the art of detersive surfactants. Alkyl sulfates were developed as a functional improvement over traditional soap surfactants and have been found to possess improved solubility and surfactant characteristics. Linear alkyl sulfates are the most commonly used of the alkyl sulfate surfactants and are the easiest to obtain. For example, long-chain linear alkyl sulfates, such as tallow alkyl sulfate, have been used in laundry detergents. However, these have significant cleaning performance limitations, especially with the trend to lower wash temperatures. Also, as noted hereinbefore, the 2-alkyl or "beta" branched alkyl sulfate are known. In addition to U.S. 3,480,556 discussed above, more recently EP 439,316, published July 31, 1991, and EP 684,300, published November 29, 1995, describe these beta-branched alkyl sulfates. Other recent scientific papers in the area of branched alkyl sulfates include R. Varadaraj et al., J. Phys. Chem., Vol. 95, (1991), pp 1671-1676 which describes the surface tensions of a variety of "linear Guerbet" and "branched Guerbet"- class surfactants including alkyl sulfates. "Linear Guerbet" types are essentially "Y-shaped", with 2-position branching which is a long straight chain as in: wherein Z is, for example, OS03Na. "Branched Guerbet" types are likewise 2-position branched, but also have additional branching substitution, as in: wherein Z is, for example, OS03Na. See also Varadaraj et al., J. Colloid and Interface Sci., Vol. 140, (1990), pp 31-34 relating to foaming data for surfactants which include C12 and C13 alkyl sulfates containing 3 and 4 methyl branches, respectively (see especially p. 32). Known alkyl sulfates also include: 1. Primary akyl sulfates derived from alcohols made by Oxo reaction on propylene or n- butylene oligomers, for example as described in U.S. Patent 5,245,072 assigned to Mobil Corp. 2. Primary alkyl sulfates derived from oleic-containing lipids, for example the so-called "isostearyl" types; see EP 401 ,462 A, assigned to Henkel, published December 12, 1990, which describes certain isostearyl alcohols and ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and their sulfation to produce the corresponding alkyl sulfates such as sodium isostearyl sulfate. 3. Primary alkyl sulfates, for example the so-called "tridecyl" types derived from oligomerizing propylene with an acid catalyst followed by Oxo reaction; 4. Primary alkyl sulfates derived from "Neodol" or "Dobanol" process alcohols: these are Oxo products of linear internal olefins or are Oxo products of linear alpha-olefins. The olefins are derived by ethylene oligomerization to form alpha-olefins which are used directly or are isomerized to internal olefins and metathesized to give internal olefins of differering chain-lengths; 5. Primary alkyl sulfates derived from the use of "Neodol" or "Dobanol" type catalysts on internal olefins derived from feedstocks which differ from those normally used to make "Neodol" or "Dobanol" alcohols, the internal olefins being derived from dehydrogenation of paraffins from petroleum; 6. Primary alkyl sulfates derived from conventional (e.g., high-pressure, cobalt-catalyzed) Oxo reaction on internal olefins, the internal olefins being derived from dehydrogenation of paraffins from petroleum; 7. Primary alkyl sulfates derived from conventional (e.g., high-pressure, cobalt-catalyzed) Oxo reaction on alpha-olefins; 8. Primary alkyl sulfates derived from natural linear fatty alcohols such as those commercially available from Procter & Gamble Co.; 9. Primary alkyl sulfates derived from Ziegler alcohols such as those commercially available from Albermarle; 10. Primary alkyl sulfates derived from reaction of normal alcohols with a Guerbet catalyst (the function of this well-known catalyst is to dehydrogenate two moles of normal alcohol to the corresponding aldehyde, condense them in an aldol condensation, and dehydrate the product which is an alpha, beta- unsaturated aldehyde which is then hydrogenated to the 2-alkyl branched primary alcohol, all in one reaction "pot"); 11. Primary alkyl sulfates derived from dimerization of isobutylene to form 2,4,4'-trimethyl-1- pentene which on Oxo reaction to the aldehyde, aldol dimerization, dehydration and reduction gives alcohols; 12. Secondary alkyl sulfates derived from sulfuric acid addition to alpha- or internal- olefins; 13. Primary alkyl sulfates derived from oxidation of paraffins by steps of (a) oxidizing the paraffin to form a fatty carboxylic acid; and (b) reducing the carboxylic acid to the corresponding primary alcohol; 14. Secondary alkyl sulfates derived from direct oxidation of paraffins to form secondary alcohols; 15. Primary or secondary alkyl sulfates derived from various plasticizer alcohols, typically by Oxo reaction on an olefin, aldol condensation, dehydration and hydrogenation (examples of suitable Oxo catalysts are the conventional Co, or more recently, Rh catalysts); and 16. Primary or Secondary alkyl sulfates other than of linear primary type, for example phytol, farnesol, isolated from natural product sources. Beyond such known alkyl sulfates, however, is a vast array of other possible alkyl sulfate compounds and mixtures whose physical properties may or may not make them useful as laundry detergent surfactants. (I)-(XI) display just some of the possible variations (the salts are depicted only as the common sodium salts).

(I) is also a "primary" alkyl sulfate, in contrast with (VII) which is a "secondary" alkyl sulfate. (II) is also a "primary" alkyl sulfate - but it is "branched". The branching is exclusively in the "2-position" as in the so-called "linear Guerbet" alkyl sulfates: carbon-counting by convention starts with C1 , which is the carbon atom covalently attached to the sulfate moiety. (Ill) can be used to represent any one of a series of branched alkyl sulfates which, when e is an integer having the value 1 or greater, have only "non-2-position branching". According to conventional wisdom, at least for linear surfactant compounds, the hydrocarbon portion needs to have at least 12 carbon atoms, preferably more, to acquire good detergency. The indices a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q can, in principle, be adjusted to accommodate this need. Compound (VIII) is the alkyl sulfate derived from a naturally occurring branched alcohol, phytol. Compound (IX) is a highly branched alkyl sulfate, which can, for example, be made by sulfating an alcohol derived from dimerizing isobutylene and performing an Oxo reaction on the product. Compound (X), when q=14, is an isostearyl alkyl sulfate; another so-called "isostearyl" alkyl sulfate has the general structure (III) - such compounds can be made by sulfating an alcohol derived from a monomeric by product of the dimerization of oleic acid having 18 carbon atoms, i.e., d+e=14 in (III). Compound (XI) is a "neo" alkyl sulfate. (XII) and (XIII) are substructures depicting "vicinal" (XII) and "geminal" or "gem" (XIII) dimethyl branching, respectively. Such substructures can, in principle, occur in alkyl sulfates and other surfactants. Conventional alkyl sulfates can, moreover, be either saturated or unsaturated. Sodium oleyl sulfate, for example, is an unsaturated alkyl sulfate. Unsaturated alkyl sulfates such as oleyl sulfate can be relatively expensive and/or relatively incompatible with detergent formulations, especially those containing bleach. In addition to the above structural variations, complex, highly branched primary alkyl sulfate mixtures having quaternary carbon atoms in the hydrophobe are producible, for example by sulfation of Oxo alcohol made via acid-catalyzed polygas reaction, moreover stereoisomeπsm, possible in many branched alkyl sulfates, further multiplies the number of species, and commercial alkyl sulfates can contain impurities including the corresponding alcohols, inorganic salts such as sodium sulfate, hydrocarbons, and cyclic byproducts of their synthesis One known material is sodium isostearyl sulfate which is a mixture of methyl and/or ethyl branches distributed along an otherwise linear alkyl backbone wherein the total number of carbons in the entire molecule are about 18 This isostearyl "mixture" is prepared in low yield from natural source feedstocks (i e tall oil, soy, etc ) via a process which results in branching which occurs in an uncontrolled manner, and which can vary depending upon the source of the feedstock EP 401 ,462, assigned to Henkel, published December 12, 1990 describes certain isostearyl alcohols and ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and their sulfation to produce the corresponding alkyl sulfates such as "sodium isostearyl sulfate" (CAS 34481-82-8, sometimes referred to as "sodium isooctadecyl sulfate") Again, while R G Laughhn in "The Aqueous Phase Behavior of Surfactants", Academic Press, N Y (1994) p 347 describes the observation that as branching moves away from the 2- alkyl position towards the center of the alkyl hydrophobe there is a lowering of Krafft temperatures (for a 15% solution), such solubility observations teach nothing about the surfactancy of these compounds or their utility for incorporation into detergent compositions In fact, both commercial practice and the published literature are equivocal on the desirability of branching in the mid-chain region This includes the above-noted patent publications describing the beta-branched alkyl sulfates as the desired branching, as well as Finger et al , "Detergent alcohols - the effect of alcohol structure and molecular weight on surfactant properties", J Amer Oil Chemists' Society, Vol 44, p 525 (1967) or Technical Bulletin, Shell Chemical Co , SC 364-80 These references assert, with respect to deleterious structural changes possible in alcohol sulfates that "moving a CH3 has a small effect" Data presented in a table shows a decrease in cotton detergency of 29% and a decrease in foaming of 77% relative to unbranched primary alcohol sulfate at the C13 chainlength Moreover JP 721232 describes a detergency negative for the replacement of C11 linear primary alkyl sulfate with branched primary alkyl sulfate of unspecified branching In addition, K R Wormuth and S Zushma, Langmuir, Vol 7, (1991), pp 2048-2053 describes technical studies on a number of branched alkyl sulfates, especially the "branched Guerbet" type, derived from the highly branched "Exxal" alcohols made by Exxon Phase studies establish a pophile ranking, that is a hydrophobe ranking, as follows highly branched « double tail > methyl branched > linear Assertedly, branched surfactants mix oil and water less effectively than linear surfactants The efficiency ranking is linear > double tail » methyl branched « highly branched From these results, it is not immediately evident which direction to take in the development of further improvements in branched alkyl sulfates Thus, going beyond simple technical theories of how to achieve cleaning superiority of one pure surfactant compound versus another, the developer and formulator of surfactants for laundry detergents must consider a wide variety of possibilities with limited (sometimes inconsistent) information, and then strive to provide overall improvements in one or more of a whole array of criteria, including performance in the presence of complex mixtures of surfactants, trends to low wash temperatures, formulation changes including builders, enzymes and bleaches, various changes in consumer habits and practices, and the need for biodegradability In the context provided by these preliminary remarks, the development of improved alkyl sulfates for use in laundry detergents and cleaning products is clearly a complex challenge Especially under cool or cold water washing conditions (e g , 20°C-5°C), the preferred long-chain alkyl sulfate compositions containing mid-chain branching are the combination of two or more of these mid-chain branched primary alkyl sulfate surfactants which provide a surfactant mixture that is higher in surfactancy and has better low temperature water solubility than any single branched alkyl sulfate The mixtures as produced comprise the mid-chain branching desirable for use in surfactant mixtures and can be formulated by mixing the desired amounts of individual mid-chain branched surfactants Such superior mixtures are not limited to combinations with other mid-chain branched surfactants but (preferably) they can be suitably combined with one or more other traditional detergent surfactants (e g , other primary alkyl sulfates, linear alkyl benzene sulfonates, alkyl ethoxylated sulfates, nonionic surfactants, etc ) to provide improved surfactant systems These mid-chain branched surfactants are obtainable in relatively high purity making their commercialization cost effective for the formulator Suitable product mixtures can be obtained from processes which utilize fossil-fuel sources (The terms "derived from fossil fuels" or "fossil- fuel deπved" herein are used to distinguish coal, natural gas, petroleum oil and other petrochemical derived, "synthetic" surfactants from those derived from living natural resources such as livestock or plants such as coconut palms) One such process is designed to provide branched reaction products which are primarily (85%, or greater) alpha-olefins, and which are then converted into hydrophobes in an Oxo- reaction sequence Such branched alpha-olefins contain from about 11 to about 18 (avg ) total carbon atoms and comprise a linear chain having an average length in the 10-18 region The branching is predominantly mono-methyl, but some di-methyl and some ethyl branching may occur Advantageously, such process results in little (1%, or less) geminal branching, i e , little, if any, "quaternary" carbon substitution. Moreover, little (less than about 20%) vicinal branching occurs. Of course, some (ca. 20%) of the overall feedstock used in the subsequent Oxo-process may remain unbranched. Typically, and preferably from the standpoint of cleaning performance and biodegradability, this process provides alpha-olefins with: an average number of branches (longest chain basis) in the 0.4-2.5 range; of the branched material, there are essentially no branches on carbons 1 , 2 or on the terminal (omega) carbon of the longest chain of the branched material. Following the formation and purification of the branched-chain alpha-olefin, the feedstock is subjected to an Oxo carbonylation process. In this Oxo-step, a catalyst (e.g., conventional cobalt carbonyl) which does not move the double bond from its initial position is used. This avoids the formation of vinylidene intermediates (which ultimately yield less favorable surfactants) and allows the carbonylation to proceed at the #1 and #2 carbon atoms. It has now unexpectedly been determined that detergent compositions comprising a select amount of a cellulose derivative in combination with long-chain alkyl chain, mid-chain branching surfactant compounds provide cleaning compositions having one or more advantages, including greater surfactancy at low use temperatures, increased resistance to water hardness, greater efficacy in surfactant systems, improved removal of greasy or body soils from fabrics, improved compatibility with detergent enzymes, and the like. In particular, the combination of the mid-chain branched surfactant with a select amount of a cellulose derivative unexpectedly provides whiteness maintenance benefits as well as improved soil release from fabrics, particularly cotton fabrics. BACKGROUND ART U.S. 3,480,556 to deWitt, et al., November 25, 1969, EP 439,316, published by Lever July 31, 1991, and EP 684,300, published by Lever November 29, 1995, describe beta-branched alkyl sulfates. EP 439,316 describes certain laundry detergents containing a specific commercial C14/C15 branched primary alkyl sulfate, namely LIAL 145 sulfate. This is believed to have 61% branching in the 2-position; 30% of this involves branching with a hydrocarbon chain having four or more carbon atoms. U.S. 3,480,556 describes mixtures of from 10 to 90 parts of a straight chain primary alkyl sulfate and from 90 to 10 parts of a beta branched (2-position branched) primary R 2 a ,lcoho il su ulfa 4 te o *f * formu .la: R CH CH 2 l OSO 3 ,X wherein the total number of carbon atoms ranges from 12 to 20 and R1 is a straight chain alkyl radical containing 9 to 17 carbon atoms and R2 is a straight chain alkyl radical containing 1 to 9 carbon atoms (67% 2-methyl and 33% 2-ethyl branching is exemplified). As noted hereinbefore, R.G. Laughlin in "The Aqueous Phase Behavior of Surfactants", Academic Press, N.Y. (1994) p. 347 describes the observation that as branching moves away from the 2-alkyl position towards the center of the alkyl hydrophobe there is a lowering of Krafft temperatures.

Oil Chemists' Society, Vol. 44, p. 525 (1967) and Technical Bulletin, Shell Chemical Co., SC: 364-80. EP 342,917 A, Unilever, published Nov. 23, 1989 describes laundry detergents containing a surfactant system in which the major anionic surfactant is an alkyl sulfate having an assertedly "wide range" of alkyl chain lengths (the experimental appears to involve mixing coconut and tallow chain length surfactants). U.S. Patent 4,102,823 and GB 1 ,399,966 describe other laundry compositions containing conventional alkyl sulfates. G.B. Patent 1 ,299,966, Matheson et al., published July 2, 1975, discloses a detergent composition in which the surfactant system is comprised of a mixture of sodium tallow alkyl sulfate and nonionic surfactants. Methyl- substituted sulfates include the known "isostearyl" sulfates; these are typically mixtures of isomeric sulfates having a total of 18 carbon atoms. For example, EP 401 ,462 A, assigned to Henkel, published December 12, 1990, describes certain isostearyl alcohols and ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and their sulfation to produce the corresponding alkyl sulfates such as sodium isostearyl sulfate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a select amount of a cellulose derivative and a longer alkyl chain, mid-chain branched surfactant compounds as described herein. Other detergent surfactants in addition to the mid-chain branched surfactant may be included, but is not required as a part of the detergent composition. A Mid-chain branched surfactants In such mid-chain branched surfactant compositions, certain points of branching (e.g., the location along the chain of the R, R 1 , and/or R 2 moieties in the above formula) are preferred over other points of branching along the backbone of the surfactant. The formula below illustrates the mid- chain branching range (i.e., where points of branching occur), preferred mid-chain branching range, and more preferred mid-chain branching range for mono-methyl branched alkyl A b moieties. m -c a n ranc ng range- It should be noted that for the mono-methyl substituted surfactants these ranges exclude the two terminal carbon atoms of the chain and the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the -X - B group. The formula below illustrates the mid-chain branching range, preferred mid-chain branching range, and more preferred mid-chain branching range for di-methyl substituted alkyl A D moieties useful.

(1) Mid-chain Branched Primary Alkyl Sulfate Surfactants The detergent surfactant compositions may comprise one or more, preferably two or more mid-chain branched primary alkyl sulfate surfactants having the formula The surfactant mixtures comprise molecules having a linear primary alkyl sulfate chain backbone (i.e., the longest linear carbon chain which includes the sulfated carbon atom). These alkyl chain backbones comprise from 12 to 19 carbon atoms; and further the molecules comprise a branched primary alkyl moiety having at least a total of 14, but not more than 20, carbon atoms. In addition, the surfactant mixture has an average total number of carbon atoms for the branched primary alkyl moieties within the range of from greater than 14.5 to about 18. Thus, the surfactant mixtures comprise at least one branched primary alkyl sulfate surfactant compound having a longest linear carbon chain of not less than 12 carbon atoms or more than 19 carbon atoms, and the total number of carbon atoms including branching must be at least 14, and further the average total number of carbon atoms for the branched primary alkyl chains is within the range of greater than 14.5 to about 18.

In this example, the C16 total carbon requirement may be satisfied equally by having, for example, one propyl branching unit or three methyl branching units. R, R 1 , and R 2 are each independently selected from hydrogen and C1-C3 alkyl (preferably hydrogen or C1-C2 alkyl, more preferably hydrogen or methyl, and most preferably methyl), provided R, R 1 , and R 2 are not all hydrogen. Further, when z is 1 , at least R or R is not hydrogen. Although the surfactant compositions for the above formula do not include molecules wherein the units R, R "1 , and R 2 are all hydrogen (i.e., linear non-branched primary alkyl sulfates), it is to be recognized that the surfactant compositions may still further comprise some amount of linear, non-branched primary alkyl sulfate. Further, this linear non-branched primary alkyl sulfate surfactant may be present as the result of the process used to manufacture the surfactant mixture having the requisite one or more mid-chain branched primary alkyl sulfates, or for purposes of formulating detergent compositions some amount of linear non-branched primary alkyl sulfate may be admixed into the final product formulation. Further it is to be similarly recognized that non-sulfated mid-chain branched alcohol may comprise some amount of the mid-chain branched surfactant compositions. Such materials may be present as the result of incomplete sulfation of the alcohol used to prepare the alkyl sulfate surfactant, or these alcohols may be separately added to the present invention detergent compositions along with a mid-chain branched alkyl sulfate surfactant.

Further it is to be similarly recognized that non-sulfated mid-chain branched alcohol (including polyoxyalkylene alcohols) may comprise some amount of the alkoxylated sulfate- containing compositions. Such materials may be present as the result of incomplete sulfation of the alcohol (alkoxylated or non-alkoxylated) used to prepare the alkoxylated sulfate surfactant, or these alcohols may be separately added to the present invention detergent compositions along with a mid-chain branched alkoxylated sulfate surfactant.

Preparation of Mid-chain Branched Surfactants The following reaction scheme outlines a general approach to the preparation of the mid- chain branched primary alcohol useful for alkoxylating and/or sulfating to prepare the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactants. o OH O Ac M σ Cl (CH 2 )3_ ( U_CH3 H 3 0* AC2 O R X *. R Mg X ► - R_i_(CH 2 )3 CI R_i-(CH2)3 α CH3 Δ HO Ac An alkyl halide is converted to a Grignard reagent and the Grignard is reacted with a haloketone. After conventional acid hydrolysis, acetylation and thermal elimination of acetic acid, an intermediate olefin is produced (not shown in the scheme) which is hydrogenated forthwith using any convenient hydrogenation catalyst such as Pd/C. This route is favorable over others in that the branch, in this illustration a 5-methyl branch, is introducedearly in the reaction sequence. Formylation of the alkyl halide resulting from the first hydrogenation step yields alcohol product, as shown in the scheme. This can be alkoxylated using standard techniques and/or sulfated using any convenient sulfating agent, e.g., chlorosulfonic acid, S03/air, or oleum, to yield the final branched primary alkyl surfactant. There is flexibility to extend the branching one additional carbon beyond that which is achieved by a single formylation. Such extension can, for example, be accomplished by reaction with ethylene oxide. See "Grignard Reactions of Nonmetallic Substances", M.S. Kharasch and O. Reinmuth, Prentice-Hall, N.Y., 1954; J. Org. Chem., J. Cason and W. R. Winans, Vol. 15 (1950), pp 139-147; J. Org Chem., J. Cason et al., Vol. 13 (1948), pp 239-248; J. Org Chem., J. Cason et al., Vol. 14 (1949), pp 147-154; and J. Org Chem., J. Cason et al., Vol. 15 (1950), pp 135- 138 all of which are incorporated herein by reference. In variations of the above procedure, alternate haioketones or Grignard reagents may be used. PBr3 halogenation of the alcohol from formylation or ethoxylation can be used to accomplish an iterative chain extension. The preferred mid-chained branched primary alkyl alkoxylated sulfates (as well as the polyoxyalkylenes and alkyl sulfates, by choosing to only alkoxylate or sulfate the intermediate alcohol produced) can also be readily prepared as follows Br (Ph)3P + er^^^-^^*^,__ CH:)CN , < Ph >3 p /-^^\^^ nN 2NaH , (P fcP., 1) H3θ* -0 Na + a. \ _^~^ ^-^ ^^ ^-^ , ^~^ / ^ ^(EO PO)mOSO 3 Na A conventional bromoalcohol is reacted with tnphenylphosphine followed by sodium hydride, suitably in dimethylsulfoxide/tetrahydrofuran, to form a Wittig adduct The Wittig adduct is reacted with an alpha methyl ketone, forming an internally unsaturated methyl-branched alcoholate Hydrogenation followed by alkoxylation and/or sulfation yields the desired mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant Although the Wittig approach does not allow the practitioner to extend the hydrocarbon chain, as in the Grignard sequence, the Wittig typically affords higher yields See Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, M Horiike et al , vol 42 (1978), pp 1963-1965 included herein by reference Any alternative synthetic procedure may be used to prepare the branched primary alkyl surfactants The mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfacatnts may, in addition be synthesized or formulated in the presence of the conventional homologs, for example any of those which may be formed in an industrial process which produces 2-alkyl branching as a result of hydroformylation Mid-chain branched surfactant mixtures are routinely added to other known commercial alkyl surfactants contained in the final laundry product formulation In certain preferred embodiments of the surfactant, especially those derived from fossil fuel sources involving commercial processes, comprise at least 1 mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant, preferably at least 2, more preferably at least 5, most preferably at least 8 Particularly suitable for preparation of certain surfactant mixtures of the are "oxo" reactions wherein a branched chain olefin is subjected to catalytic isomenzation and hydroformylation prior to alkoxylation and/or sulfation The preferred processes resulting in such mixtures utilize fossil fuels as the starting material feedstock Preferred processes utilize Oxo reaction on linear olefins (alpha or internal) with a limited amount of branching Suitable olefins may be made by dimerization of linear alpha or internal olefins, by controlled oligomeπzation of low molecular weight linear olefins, by skeletal rearrangement of detergent range olefins, by dehydrogenation/skeletal rearrangement of detergent range paraffins, or by Fischer-Tropsch reaction These reactions will in general be controlled to 1) give a large proportion of olefins in the desired detergent range (while allowing for the addition of a carbon atom in the subsequent Oxo reaction), 2) produce a limited number of branches, preferably mid-chain, 3) produce C1-C3 branches, more preferably ethyl, most preferably methyl, 4) limit or eliminate gem dialkylbranching i e to avoid formation of quaternary carbon atoms The suitable olefins can undergo Oxo reaction to give primary alcohols either directly or indirectly through the corresponding aldehydes When an internal olefin is used, an Oxo catalyst is normally used which is capable of prior pre-isomerization of internal olefins primarily to alpha olefins While a separately catalyzed (i e non-Oxo) internal to alpha isomeπzation could be effected, this is optional On the other hand, if the olefin-forming step itself results directly in an alpha olefin (e g with high pressure Fischer-Tropsch olefins of detergent range), then use of a non-isomenzing Oxo catalyst is not only possible, but preferred The process described herein above gives the more preferred 5-methyl-hexadecyl surfactants in higher yield than the less preferred 2,4-dιmethylpentadecyl surfactants This mixture is in that each product comprises at total of 17 carbon atoms with linear alkyl chains having at least 13 carbon atoms For the preparation of mid-chain branched surfactants herein where X is -C(O)-, the starting material mid-chain branched carboxylic acids can be obtained from the corresponding alcohols described herein before by Jones oxidation, K Bowden, I M Heilbron, E R H Jones and B C L Weedon, J Chem, Soc 1946, 39, and H O House, Modern Synthetic Reactions (W A Benjamin, California, 2nd ed , pp 263-264) This is a chromic acid oxidation of the alcohol to the carboxylic acid in acidic media such as aqueous sulfuπc acid Acetone may be used to solubilize the

The acidic reaction mixture is slowly poured into a vigorously stirred beaker of 25% sodium methoxide (43.2g, 0.2 mol) and methanol (200ml) that is cooled in an ice water bath. After pH>12 is confirmed the solution is allowed to stir about 15 minutes then poured into a glass dish. Most of the solvent is allowed to evaporate overnight in the fume hood. The next morning the dish is transferred to a vacuum drying oven. The sample is allowed to dry all day and overnight at 40-60°C with 25-30 inches Hg vacuum. Yellow tacky solid (80.9g; 93% active) C16 ethoxylated (E2.5) sulfate, sodium salt, product is collected. EXAMPLE V Preparation of sodium 7-methylhexadecyl sulfate Sulfation of 7-methylhexadecanol Into a dried 1L 3 neck round bottom flask fitted with a nitrogen inlet, dropping funnel, thermometer, mechanical stirring and nitrogen outlet is added chloroform (300ml) and 7- methylhexadecanol (124g, 0.484 mol), prepared as an intermediate in Example I. Chlorosulfonic acid (60g, 0.509 mol) is slowly added to the stirred mixture while maintaining 25-30°C temperature with a ice bath. Once HCI evolution has stopped (1 hr.) slowly add sodium methoxide (25% in methanol) while keeping temperature at 25-30°C until an aliquot at 5% concentration in water maintains a pH of 10.5. To the mixture is added hot ethanol (55°C, 2L). The mixture is vacuum filtered immediately. The filtrate is concentrated to a slurry on a rotary evaporator, cooled and then poured into 2L of ethyl ether. The mixture is chilled to 5°C, at which point crystallization occurs, and vacuum filtered. The crystals are dried in a vacuum oven at 50C for 3 hrs. to obtain a white solid (136g, 92% active by cat SO3 titration).

The position and length of branching found in the precursor fatty alcohol materials is determined by GC/MS techniques [see: D. J. Harvey, Biomed, Environ. Mass Spectrom (1989). 18(9), 719-23; D. J. Harvey, J. M. Tiffany, J. Chromatogr. (1984), 301(1), 173-87; K. A. Karisson, B. E. Samuelsson, G. O. Steen, Chem. Phys. Lipids (1973), 11(1), 17-38]. 2) Identification of Separated Fatty Alcohol Alkoxy Sulfate Components by MS/MS. The position and length of branching is also determinable by Ion Spray-MS/MS or FAB-MS/MS techniques on previously isolated fatty alcohol sulfate components. The average total carbon atoms of the branched primary alkyl surfactants herein can be calculated from the hydroxyl value of the precursor fatty alcohol mix or from the hydroxyl value of the alcohols recovered by extraction after hydrolysis of the alcohol sulfate mix according to common procedures, such as outlined in "Bailey's Industrial Oil and Fat Products", Volume 2, Fourth Edition, edited by Daniel Swern, pp. 440-441.

1994, by Novo Nordisk discloses that the lipase variant (D96L) may be added in an amount corresponding to 0 001-100- mg (5-500,000 LU/liter) lipase variant per liter of wash liquor The present invention provides the benefit of improved whiteness maintenance on fabrics using low levels of D96L variant in detergent compositions containing the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactants in the manner disclosed herein, especially when the D96L is used at levels in the range of about 50 LU to about 8500 LU per liter of wash solution Cutinase enzymes suitable for use herein are described in WO 8809367 A to Genencor Peroxidase enzymes may be used in combination with oxygen sources, e g , percarbonate, perborate, hydrogen peroxide, etc , for "solution bleaching" or prevention of transfer of dyes or pigments removed from substrates during the wash to other substrates present in the wash solution Known peroxidases include horseradish peroxidase, iignmase, and haloperoxidases

their incorporation into such formulations, are disclosed in U S 4,261 ,868, Hora et al, April 14, 1981 Enzymes for use in detergents can be stabilised by various techniques Enzyme stabilisation techniques are disclosed and exemplified in U S 3,600,319, August 17, 1971 , Gedge et al, EP 199 405 and EP 200,586, October 29, 1986, Venegas Enzyme stabilisation systems are also described, for example, in U S 3,519,570 A useful Bacillus, sp AC13 giving proteases, xylanases and cellulases, is described in WO 9401532 A to Novo Enzyme Stabilizing System - The enzyme-containing compositions herein may optionally also comprise from about 0 001% to about 10%, preferably from about 0 005% to about 8%, most preferably from about 0 01% to about 6%, by weight of an enzyme stabilizing system The enzyme stabilizing system can be any stabilizing system which is compatible with the detersive enzyme Such a system may be inherently provided by other formulation actives, or be added separately, e g , by the formulator or by a manufacturer of detergent-ready enzymes Such stabilizing systems can, for example, comprise caJcium ion, boric acid, propylene glycol, short chain carboxylic acids, boronic acids, and mixtures thereof, and are designed to address different stabilization problems depending on the type and physical form of the detergent composition One stabilizing approach is the use of water-soluble sources of calcium and/or magnesium ions in the finished compositions which provide such ions to the enzymes Calcium ions are generally more effective than magnesium ions and are preferred herein if only one type of cation is being used Typical detergent compositions, especially liquids, will comprise from about 1 to about 30, preferably from about 2 to about 20, more preferably from about 8 to about 12 millimoles of calcium ion per liter of finished detergent composition, though variation is possible depending on factors including the multiplicity, type and levels of enzymes incorporated Preferably water- soluble calcium or magnesium salts are employed, including for example calcium chloπde, calcium hydroxide, calcium formate, calcium malate, calcium maleate, calcium hydroxide and calcium acetate, more generally, calcium sulfate or magnesium salts corresponding to the exemplified calcium salts may be used Further increased levels of Calcium and/or Magnesium may of course be useful, for example for promoting the grease-cutting action of certain types of surfactant Another stabilizing approach is by use of borate species See Severson, U S 4,537,706 Borate stabilizers, when used, may be at levels of up to 10% or more of the composition though more typically, levels of up to about 3% by weight of boric acid or other borate compounds such as borax or orthoborate are suitable for liquid detergent use Substituted boric acids such as phenylboronic acid, butaneboronic acid, p-bromophenyiboronic acid or the like can be used in place of boric acid and reduced levels of total boron in detergent compositions may be possible though the use of such substituted boron derivatives Stabilizing systems of certain cleaning compositions, for example automatic dishwashing compositions may further comprise from 0 to about 10%, preferably from about 0 01% to about 6% by weight, of chlorine bleach scavengers, added to prevent chlorine bleach species present in many water supplies from attacking and inactivating the enzymes, especially under alkaline conditions While chlorine levels in water may be small, typically in the range from about 0 5 ppm to about 1 75 ppm, the available chlorine in the total volume of water that comes in contact with the enzyme, for example during dish- or fabric-washing, can be relatively large, accordingly, enzyme stability to chlorine in-use is sometimes problematic Since perborate or percarbonate, which have the ability to react with chlorine bleach, may present in certain of the instant compositions in amounts accounted for separately from the stabilizing system, the use of additional stabilizers against chlorine, may, most generally, not be essential, though improved results may be obtainable from their use Suitable chlorine scavenger anions are widely known and readily available, and, if used, can be salts containing ammonium cations with sulfite, bisulfite, thiosulfite, thiosulfate, iodide, etc Antioxidants such as carbamate, ascorbate, etc , organic amines such as ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) or alkali metal salt thereof, monoethanolamine (MEA), and mixtures thereof can likewise be used Likewise, special enzyme inhibition systems can be incorporated such that different enzymes have maximum compatibility Other conventional scavengers such as bisulfate, nitrate, chloride, sources of hydrogen peroxide such as sodium perborate tetrahydrate, sodium perborate monohydrate and sodium percarbonate, as well as phosphate, condensed phosphate, acetate, benzoate, citrate, formate, lactate, malate, tartrate, salicylate, etc , and mixtures thereof can be used if desired In general, since the chlorine scavenger function can be performed by ingredients separately listed under better recognized functions, (e g , hydrogen peroxide sources), there is no absolute requirement to add a separate chlorine scavenger unless a compound performing that function to the desired extent is absent from an enzyme-containing embodiment of the invention, even then, the scavenger is added only for optimum results Moreover, the formulator will exercise a chemist's normal skill in avoiding the use of any enzyme scavenger or stabilizer which is majorly incompatible, as formulated, with other reactive ingredients In relation to the use of ammonium salts, such salts can be simply admixed with the detergent composition but are prone to adsorb water and/or liberate ammonia dunng storage Accordingly, such materials, if present, are desirably protected in a particle such as that described in US 4,652,392, Baginski et al Builders - Detergent builders selected from aluminosilicates and silicates are preferably included in the compositions herein, for example to assist

If utilized, SRA's will generally comprise from 0.01 % to 10.0%, typically from 0.1 % to 5%, preferably from 0.2% to 3.0% by weight, of the composition. Preferred SRA's typically have hydrophilic segments to hydrophilize the surface of hydrophobic fibers such as polyester and nylon, and hydrophobic segments to deposit upon hydrophobic fibers and remain adhered thereto through completion of washing and rinsing cycles thereby serving as an anchor for the hydrophilic segments. This can enable stains occurring subsequent to treatment with SRA to be more easily cleaned in later washing procedures. SRA's can include a variety of charged, e.g., anionic or even cationic (see U.S. 4,956,447), as well as noncharged monomer units and structures may be linear, branched or even star-shaped. They may include capping moieties which are especially effective in controlling molecular weight or altering the physical or surface-active properties. Structures and charge distributions may be tailored for application to different fiber or textile types and for varied detergent or detergent additive products. Preferred SRA's include oligomeric terephthalate esters, typically prepared by processes involving at least one transesterification/oligomerization, often with a metal catalyst such as a titanium(IV) alkoxide. Such esters may be made using additional monomers capable of being incorporated into the ester structure through one, two, three, four or more positions, without of course forming a densely crosslinked overall structure.

j is selected from anilino, N-2-bιs-hydroxyethyl and NH-2-hydroxyethyl, R2 is selected from N-2-bιs-hydroxyethyl, N-2-hydroxyethyl-N-methylamιno, morphilmo, chloro and ammo, and M is a salt-forming cation such as sodium or potassium When in the above formula, R- | is anilino, R2 is N-2-bιs-hydroxyethyl and M is a cation such as sodium, the bnghtener is 4,4',-bιs[(4-anιlιno-6-(N-2-bιs-hydroxyethyl)-s-tπazιne-2- yl)amιno]-2,2'-stιlbenedιsulfonιc acid and disodium salt This particular bnghtener species is commercially marketed under the tradename Tmopal-UNPA-GX by Ciba-Geigy Corporation Tmopal-UNPA-GX is the preferred hydrophilic optical bnghtener useful in the detergent compositions herein When in the above formula, R- | is anilino, R2 is N-2-hydroxyethyl-N-2-methylamιno and M is a cation such as sodium, the bnghtener is 4,4'-bιs[(4-anιlιno-6-(N-2-hydroxyethyl-N- methylamιno)-s-trιazιne-2-yl)amιno]2,2'-stιlbenedιsulfonιc acid disodium salt This particular bnghtener species is commercially marketed under the tradename Tmopal 5BM-GX by Ciba-Geigy Corporation When in the above formula, R- | is anilino, R2 is morphilmo and M is a

under the tradename Tmopal AMS-GX by Ciba Geigy Corporation The specific optical bnghtener species selected for use in the present invention provide especially effective dye transfer inhibition performance benefits when used in combination with the selected polymeric dye transfer inhibiting agents hereinbefore described The combination of such selected polymenc materials (e g , PVNO and/or PVPVI) with such selected optical brighteners (e g , Tmopal UNPA-GX, Tmopal 5BM-GX and/or Tmopal AMS-GX) provides significantly better dye transfer inhibition in aqueous wash solutions than does either of these two detergent composition components when used alone Without being bound by theory, it is believed that such brighteners work this way because they have high affinity for fabrics in the wash solution and therefore deposit relatively quick on these fabrics The extent to which brighteners deposit on fabrics in the wash solution can be defined by a parameter called the "exhaustion coefficient" The exhaustion coefficient is in general as the ratio of a) the bnghtener material deposited on fabric to b) the initial bnghtener concentration in the wash liquor Brighteners with relatively high exhaustion coefficients are the most suitable for inhibiting dye transfer in the context of the present invention Of course, it will be appreciated that other, conventional optical bnghtener types of compounds can optionally be used in the present compositions to provide conventional fabric "brightness" benefits, rather than a true dye transfer inhibiting effect Such usage is conventional and well-known to detergent formulations Chelatinq Agents - The detergent compositions herein may also optionally contain one or more iron and/or manganese chelatmg agents Such chelatmg agents can be selected from the group consisting of am o carboxylates, ammo phosphonates, polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic chelatmg agents and mixtures therein, all as hereinafter defined 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 remove iron and manganese ions from washing solutions by formation of soluble chelates Am o carboxylates useful as optional chelatmg agents include ethylenediaminetetrace- tates, N-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetπacetates, nitnlotriacetates, ethylenediamine tetrapro-

Another preferred category of non-surfactant suds suppressors comprises silieone suds suppressors. This category includes the use of polyorganosiloxane oils, such as polydimethyl- siloxane, dispersions or emulsions of polyorganosiloxane oils or resins, and combinations of polyorganosiloxane with silica particles wherein the polyorganosiloxane is chemisorbed or fused onto the silica.

A wide variety of other ingredients useful in detergent compositions can be included in the compositions herein, including other active ingredients, carriers, hydrotropes, processing aids, dyes or pigments, solvents for liquid formulations, etc If high sudsing is desired, suds boosters such as the C-|g-C-)6 alkanolamides can be incorporated into the compositions, typically at 1%-10% levels The C-|g-C- | 4 monoethanol and diethanol amides illustrate a typical class of such suds boosters Use of such suds boosters with high sudsing adjunct surfactants such as the amine oxides, betames and sultames noted above is also advantageous If desired, water-soluble magnesium and/or calcium salts such as MgCl2, MgS04, CaCl2, CaSθ4 and the like, can be added at levels of, typically, 0 1%-2%, to provide additional suds and to enhance grease removal performance Various detersive ingredients employed in the present compositions optionally can be further stabilized by absorbing said ingredients onto a porous hydrophobic substrate, then coating said substrate with a hydrophobic coating Preferably, the detersive ingredient is admixed with a surfactant before being absorbed into the porous substrate In use, the detersive ingredient is released from the substrate into the aqueous washing liquor, where it performs its intended detersive function To illustrate this technique in more detail, a porous hydrophobic silica (trademark SIPERNAT D10, DeGussa) is admixed with a proteolytie enzyme solution containing 3%-5% of C- ) 3 .- | 5 ethoxylated alcohol (EO 7) nonionic surfactant Typically, the enzyme/surfactant solution is 2 5 X the weight of silica The resulting powder is dispersed with stirring in silieone oil (various silieone oil viscosities in the range of 500-12,500 can be used) The resulting silieone oil dispersion is emulsified or otherwise added to the final detergent matπx By this means, ingredients such as the aforementioned enzymes, bleaches, bleach activators, bleach catalysts, photoactivators, dyes, fluorescers, fabric conditioners and hydrolyzable surfactants can be "protected" for use in detergents, including liquid laundry detergent compositions Liquid detergent compositions can contain water and other solvents as earners Low molecular weight primary or secondary alcohols exemplified by methanol, ethanol, propanol, and isopropanol are suitable Monohydπc alcohols are preferred for solubiliz g surfactant, but polyols such as those containing from 2 to about 6 carbon atoms and from 2 to about 6 hydroxy groups (e g , 1,3-propanedιol, ethylene glycol, glycerine, and 1 ,2-propanedιol) can also be used The compositions may contain from 5% to 90%, typically 10% to 50% of such carriers The detergent compositions herein will preferably be formulated such that, duπng use in aqueous cleaning operations, the wash water will have a pH of between about 6 5 and about 11, preferably between about 7.5 and 10.5. Liquid dishwashing product formulations preferably have a pH between about 6.8 and about 9.0. Laundry products are typically at pH 9-11. Techniques for controlling pH at recommended usage levels include the use of buffers, alkalis, acids, etc., and are well known to those skilled in the art. Form of the compositions The compositions in accordance with the invention can take a variety of physical forms including granular, tablet, and liquid forms. The compositions are particularly the so-called concentrated granular detergent compositions adapted to be added to a washing machine by means of a dispensing device placed in the machine drum with the soiled fabric load. The mean particle size of the components of granular compositions in accordance with the invention should preferably be such that no more that 5% of particles are greater than 1.7mm in diameter and not more than 5% of particles are less than 0.15mm in diameter. The term mean particle size as defined herein is calculated by sieving a sample of the composition into a number of fractions (typically 5 fractions) on a series of Tyler sieves. The weight fractions thereby obtained are plotted against the aperture size of the sieves. The mean particle size is taken to be the aperture size through which 50% by weight of the sample would pass. The bulk density of granular detergent compositions in accordance with the present invention typically have a bulk density of at least 600 g/litre, more preferably from 650 g/litre to 1200 g/litre. Bulk density is measured by means of a simple funnel and cup device consisting of a conical funnel moulded rigidly on a base and provided with a flap valve at its lower extremity to allow the contents of the funnel to be emptied into an axially aligned cylindrical cup disposed below the funnel. The funnel is 130 mm high and has internal diameters of 130 mm and 40 mm at its respective upper and lower extremities. It is mounted so that the lower extremity is 140 mm above the upper surface of the base. The cup has an overall height of 90 mm, an internal height of 87 mm and an internal diameter of 84 mm. Its nominal volume is 500 ml. To carry out a measurement, the funnel is filled with powder by hand pouring, the flap valve is opened and powder allowed to overfill the cup. The filled cup is removed from the frame and excess powder removed from the cup by passing a straight edged implement eg; a knife, across its upper edge. The filled cup is then weighed and the value obtained for the weight of powder doubled to provide a bulk density in g/litre. Replicate measurements are made as required. Mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant agglomerate particles The mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant system herein is preferably present in granular compositions in the form of mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant agglomerate particles which may take the form of flakes, prills, marumes, noodles, ribbons, but preferably take the form of granules The most preferred way to process the particles is by agglomerating powders (e g aluminosilicate, carbonate) with high active mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant pastes and to control the particle size of the resultant agglomerates within specified limits Such a process involves mixing an effective amount of powder with a high active mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant paste in one or more agglomerators such as a pan agglomerator, a Z-blade mixer or more preferably an in-line mixer such as those manufactured by Schugi (Holland) BV, 29 Chroomstraat 8211 AS, Lelystad, Netherlands, and Gebruder Lodige Maschinenbau GmbH, D-4790 Paderborn 1, Elsenerstrasse 7-9, Postfach 2050, Germany Most preferably a high shear mixer is used, such as a Lodige CB (Trade Name) A high active mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant paste comprising from 50% by weight to 95% by weight, preferably 70% by weight to 85% by weight of mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant is typically used The paste may be pumped into the agglomerator at a temperature high enough to maintain a pumpable viscosity, but low enough to avoid degradation of the surfactants used An operating temperature of the paste of 50°C to 80°C is typical Laundry washing method Machine laundry methods herein typically comprise treating soiled laundry with an aqueous wash solution in a washing machine having dissolved or dispensed therein an effective amount of a machine laundry detergent composition in accord with the invention By an effective amount of the detergent composition it is meant from 20g to 300g of product dissolved or dispersed in a wash solution of volume from 5 to 65 litres, as are typical product dosages and wash solution volumes commonly employed in conventional machine laundry methods As noted, the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactants are used herein in detergent compositions, preferably in combination with other detersive surfactants, at levels which are effective for achieving at least a directional improvement in cleaning performance In the context of a fabric laundry composition, such "usage levels" can vary depending not only on the type and severity of the soils and stains, but also on the wash water temperature, the volume of wash water and the type of washing machine For example, in a top-loading, vertical axis U S -type automatic washing machine using about 45 to 83 liters of water in the wash bath, a wash cycle of about 10 to about 14 minutes and a wash water temperature of about 10°C to about 50°C, it is preferred to include from about 2 ppm to about 625 ppm, preferably from about 2 ppm to about 550 ppm, more preferably from about 10 ppm to about 235 ppm, of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant in the wash liquor On the basis of usage rates of from about 50 ml to about 150 ml per wash load, this translates into an m-product concentration (wt ) of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant of from about 0 1% to about 40%, preferably about 0 1% to about 35%, more preferably from about 0 5% to about 15%, for a heavy-duty liquid laundry detergent On the basis of usage rates of from about 30g to about 950g per wash load, for dense ("compact") granular laundry detergents (density above about 650 g/l) this translates into an m-product concentration (wt ) of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant of from about 0 1% to about 50%, preferably from about 0 1 % to about 35%, and more preferably from about 0 5% to about 15% On the basis of usage rates of from about 80 g to about 100 g per load for spray-dried granules (i e , "fluffy", density below about 650 g/l), this translates into an m-product concentration (wt ) of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant of from about 0 07% to about 35%, preferably from about 0 07 to about 25%, and more preferably from about 0 35% to about 11 % For example, in a front-loading, horizontal-axis European-type automatic washing machine using about 8 to 15 liters of water in the wash bath, a wash cycle of about 10 to about 60 minutes and a wash water temperature of about 30°C to about 95°C, it is preferred to include from about 3 ppm to about 14,000 ppm, preferably from about 3 ppm to about 10,000 ppm, more preferably from about 15 ppm to about 4200 ppm, of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant in the wash liquor On the basis of usage rates of from about 45 ml to about 270 ml per wash load, this translates into an m-product concentration (wt ) of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant of from about 0 1% to about 50%, preferably about 0 1% to about 35%, more preferably from about 0 5% to about 15%, for a heavy-duty liquid laundry detergent On the basis of usage rates of from about 40 g to about 210 g per wash load, for dense ("compact") granular laundry detergents (density above about 650 g/l) this translates into an m-product concentration (wt ) of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant of from about 0 12% to about 53%, preferably from about 0 12% to about 46%, and more preferably from about 0 6% to about 20% On the basis of usage rates of from about 140 g to about 400 g per load for spray-dned granules (i e , "fluffy", density below about 650 g/l), this translates into an m-product concentration (wt ) of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant of from about 0 03% to about 34%, preferably from about 0 03% to about 24%, and more preferably from about 0 15% to about 10% For example, in a top-loading, vertical-axis Japanese-type automatic washing machine using about 26 to 52 liters of water in the wash bath, a wash cycle of about 8 to about 15 minutes and a wash water temperature of about 5°C to about 25°C, it is preferred to include from about 0 67 ppm to about 270 ppm, preferably from about 067 ppm to about 236 ppm, more preferably from about 3 4 ppm to about 100 ppm, of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant in the wash liquor On the basis of usage rates of from about 20 ml to about 30 ml per wash load, this translates into an m-product concentration (wt ) of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant of from about 0 1% to about 40%, preferably about 0 1% to about 35%, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 15%, for a heavy-duty liquid laundry detergent. On the basis of usage rates of from about 18 g to about 35 g per wash load, for dense ("compact") granular laundry detergents (density above about 650 g/l) this translates into an in-product concentration (wt.) of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant of from about 0.1% to about 50%, preferably from about 0.1% to about 35%, and more preferably from about 0.5% to about 15%. On the basis of usage rates of from about 30 g to about 40 g per load for spray-dried granules (i.e., "fluffy"; density below about 650 g/l), this translates into an in-product concentration (wt.) of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant of from about 0.06% to about 44%, preferably from about 0.06% to about 30%, and more preferably from about 0.3% to about 13%. As can be seen from the foregoing, the amount of mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactant used in a machine-wash laundering context can vary, depending on the habits and practices of the user, the type of washing machine, and the like. In this context, however, one heretofore unappreciated advantage of the mid-chain branched primary alkyl surfactants is their ability to provide at least directional improvements in performance over a spectrum of soils and stains even when used at relatively low levels with respect to the other surfactants (generally anionics or anionic/nonionic mixtures) in the finished compositions. In a preferred use aspect a dispensing device is employed in the washing method. The dispensing device is charged with the detergent product, and is used to introduce the product directly into the drum of the washing machine before the commencement of the wash cycle. Its volume capacity should be such as to be able to contain sufficient detergent product as would normally be used in the washing method. Once the washing machine has been loaded with laundry the dispensing device containing the detergent product is placed inside the drum. At the commencement of the wash ' cycle of the washing machine water is introduced into the drum and the drum periodically rotates. The design of the dispensing device should be such that it permits containment of the dry detergent product but then allows release of this product during the wash cycle in response to its agitation as the drum rotates and also as a result of its contact with the wash water. To allow for release of the detergent product during the wash the device may possess a number of openings through which the product may pass. Alternatively, the device may be made of a material which is permeable to liquid but impermeable to the solid product, which will allow release of dissolved product. Preferably, the detergent product will be rapidly released at the start of the wash cycle thereby providing transient localised high concentrations of product in the drum of the washing machine at this stage of the wash cycle. Preferred dispensing devices are reusable and are designed in such a way that container integrity is maintained in both the dry state and during the wash cycle.
