| 6 | GB2255352A | 5/1/1991 | Amphoteric surfactant, nonionic surfactant and other surfactns (Wide range is mentioned in general in description) | Amphoteric surfactant, nonionic surfactant, enzyme, and enzyme stabilizer | Longer stabilty |
| 7 | GB2248452A | 10/5/1990 | Cationic and nonionic surfactants | Cationic and nonionic surfactants, proteolytic enzyme derived from a microorganism, organic calcium sequestrant, glycerol borate stabiliser, water-miscible organic solvent | Very good storage stability and prolonged shelf life at relatively high temperatures |
| 8 | GB2271120A | 09/30/1992 | 09/27/1993 | Soap and synthetic surfactant mixture | Detergent active, water and a mutant subtilisin enzyme, boron compound (borax), polyol, acid and/or its alkali metal salt | The composition includes mutant enzymes which have good stability, even under storage at relatively high temp. and humidity and composition has good cleaning capacity. |
| 9 | GB2246140A | 06/07/1990 | 06/04/1991 | Wide range is mentioned in general in description | (a) a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, cationic, ampholytic or zwitterionic surfactants and mixtures thereof; (b) enzyme; and (c) protein containing quaternary nitrogen substituent. | Quartenary ammonium containing protein improves enzyme stability |

| 10 | GB2372261A | 12/21/2000 | 12/11/2001 | Wide range is mentioned in general in description | a) oxidoreductase, b) surfactant, c) modifier, and d) densified carbon dioxide | Bleaching textile articles with grass stains and/or oily tomato stains |
| 11 | GB2267911A | 4/30/1992 | Non-ionic surfactant and other surfactants (Wide range is mentioned in general in description) | Water-soluble needle-like material (salts, surfactants), binder, non-aqueous liquid (non-ionic surfactant), encapsulated ingredients: (an enzyme, a fluorescer, a bleach catalyst or a bleach precursor) | Sensitive materials such as enzymes, bleaches, bleach precursors or optical brighteners are protected from unwanted interaction with other components by encapsulating them. |
| 12 | GB2406340A | 08/07/2002 | 07/21/2003 | 07/21/2003 | Anionic surfactant (linear alkylbenzene sulphonate) is preferred | Flexible porous housing containing detergent composition (interior of the housing is coated with a bleach ingredient, an enzyme, a perfume, a fluorescer or mixtures thereof, preferably an enzyme) | Housing helps to generate more foam, so less detergent composition is used and its cost performance is increased. |
