Detergent compositions comprising bacterial mannanases
This present disclosure relates to novel detergent compositions comprising bacterial mannanase enzymes. The detergent compositions comprising bacterial mannanases are useful in laundry and cleaning applications wherein degradation or modification of mannan is desired. The present disclosure also relates to the use of said detergent compositions in laundry and cleaning applications as well as a method for degrading mannan.
1. A detergent composition comprising at least one enzyme having mannan degrading activity and an amino acid sequence having at least 98% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 16.
2. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one enzyme has an amino acid sequence having at least 99% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 16.
3. The detergent composition of claim 1 , the composition further comprising one or more additional enzymes selected from the group of protease, lipase, cutinase, amylase, carbohydrase, cellulase, pectinase, pectatlyase, mannanase, arabinase, galactanase, xylanase, oxidase, xanthanase, laccase, and/or peroxidase.
4. The detergent composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is in form of a bar, a homogenous tablet, a tablet having two or more layers, a pouch having one or more compartments, a regular or compact powder, a granule, a paste, a gel, or a regular, compact or concentrated liquid.
5. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the detergent composition is a laundry detergent composition.
6. A method for removing a stain from a surface, comprising contacting the surface with a detergent composition according to claim 1 .
7. A method for degrading mannan comprising applying a detergent composition according to claim 1 to mannan.
8. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one enzyme has: (i) a molecular mass in the range of from 50 to 55 kDa; (ii) an optimal temperature at pH 7 in the range of from 50° C. to 70° C.; (iii) an optimal pH range of from pH 7 to pH 10 at 50° C.; or (iv) any of (i)-(iii).
