USA. Henkel has been issued the patent number 20170283744 for a pearly liquid detergent composition.Patents; Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Pearly Liquid Detergent Composition", for Approval (USPTO 20170283744) 20 October 2017 Chemicals & Chemistry 2017 OCT 27 (VerticalNews) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Chemicals & Chemistry -- From Washington, D.C., VerticalNews journalists report that a patent application by the inventors Antir, Marouane (JT Hilversum, NE); Schuemann, Sabine (Neuss, DE); Bastigkeit, Thorsten (Wuppertal, DE); Bellomi, Luca (Duesseldorf, DE); Woltery, Petra (Bergisch Gladbach, DE); Sonnenschein, Frank (Haan, DE), filed on June 19, 2017, was made available online on October 12, 2017. The patent's assignee is Henkel AG & Co. KGaA. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Liquid detergents comprising microcapsules are very appealing to consumers. The inclusion of microcapsules in liquid detergents is desirable not only for aesthetic reasons but also for functional reasons such as isolation of incompatible ingredients, controlled and/or delayed release, etc. Ideally, the microcapsules are stably suspended in the liquid detergent and only dissolve/disintegrate upon use. Since consumers generally desire a clean and fresh odor whenever they open the package and smell the product, as well as during the laundering process, such as a clean and fresh odor in the laundry room, and on laundered clothing, perfume microcapsules have been used in consumer products to improve fragrance deposition, retention and longevity. "One problem encountered with the production of liquid detergents comprising encapsulated actives is that the distribution of the capsules encapsulating these actives within the liquid matrix needs to be controlled so that the capsules do not overly float, sink or otherwise gravitate during processing, when packaged for later processing with other ingredients, or when in a packaged consumer product. In order to properly disperse and suspend the capsules within the liquid matrix, thickening agents can be introduced into the composition. There are number of compounds, which can provide structuring and thickening benefits. "Known external thickening agents include polymers or gums such as gellan gum, alginate, carrageenan, xanthan gum, and guar gum. Although gums have been used to provide structuring benefits, the gums have been found to be undesirable due to pH and electrolyte sensitivity, which can decrease their structuring capacity or lead to other undesirable issues such as gelling or clumping of the product. "The addition of pearlescent agents such as inorganic natural substances, such as mica, bismuth oxychloride and titanium dioxide, and organic compounds such as fish scales, metal salts of higher fatty acids, fatty glycol esters and fatty acid alkanolamides results in a highly desirable opaqueness and pearlescence. These aesthetic features of a liquid detergent composition may help draw and divert the consumer's attention and, as possible instability of capsules contained in the liquid detergent composition is dissimulated, give the impression of a homogenous, stable, appealing product. "It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a pearly liquid detergent composition which is characterized by an aesthetically highly desirable opaqueness and pearlescence, which dissimulates the capsules encapsulating actives contained in said liquid detergent compositions, and which further comprises thickening agents that help suspending part of said capsules and prevent them from sedimenting or floating on the surface of the liquid detergent composition. "Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a pearly liquid detergent composition that is aesthetically appealing to consumers, functional, and stable. It is also desirable to provide a method for cleaning textiles by contacting such pearly liquid detergent composition with textiles followed by conventional manual or machine cleaning methods. Other desirable features and characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description of the invention and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with this background of the invention." As a supplement to the background information on this patent application, VerticalNews correspondents also obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent application: "In a first aspect, the present invention thus relates to a liquid detergent composition comprising: a) at least one pearlescent formulation in an amount of 0.05% to 2% by weight of said liquid detergent composition, b) at least one thickening agent in an amount of 0.05% to 2% by weight of said liquid detergent composition, c) capsules encapsulating actives in an amount of 0.005% to 0.5% by weight of said liquid detergent composition."
