Enzyme activated particulate release system: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Premature hydration of salt particles in cleaning formulations leads to clumping and reduced shelf life. Applying a betaine coating provides a moisture barrier that stabilizes the active ingredients until use.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Enzyme activated particulate release system?

Detergent granule structural instability

(7)evidences

Spray-dried particles frequently suffer from poor mechanical integrity and unintended fragmentation during handling. Enhancing structural robustness prevents premature breakdown and ensures consistent dissolution rates.

Premature enzyme degradation

(3)evidences

Unprotected detergent components react or break down during storage before use. Preventing this loss of potency ensures maximum cleaning efficacy upon delivery.

Premature enzyme degradation

(1)evidences

Uncontrolled hydration during storage leads to early enzymatic activity and loss of potency. Preventing moisture-induced degradation ensures full cleaning efficacy upon intentional release.
