(57) There are disclosed compositions comprising peroxygen containing bleach systems containing
a bleach stabilizing amount of compound represented by the formula
wherein R is selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted straight
and branched chained alkyl C₁-₂₁, alkenyl C₁-₂₁, hydrogen, and optionally substituted
phenyl groups, and
wherein each R˝ is independently selected from groups consisting of hydrogen, alkyl
C₁-₂₁ and alkenyl C₁-₂₁, provided that the total number of carbons in both R˝ groups
is not greater than 21, each X is independently selected from hydrogen and SO₃ and
Z is selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, alkoxy C₁-5 and alkenoxy C₁-₅,
-O⁻M⁺, -NR₂‴ wherein each R‴ is independently selected from the group consisting of
hydrogen, alkyl C₁-₅ or alkenyl C₁-₅, and R′ is selected from the group consisting
of hydrogen, optionally substituted straight and branched chained alkyl C₁-₂₁, alkenyl
C₁-₂₁ and an optionally substituted phenyl group, provided only one of R and R′ is
hydrogen said stabilizer having a hydrophile-lipophile (HLB) balance within the same
range as the HLB of said compounds wherein R is an unsubstituted C₁-₂₁ alkyl group
and R′ is hydrogen or an unsubstituted C₁-₆ alkyl group, M is selected from hydrogen
and a non-interfering cation, and further provided that when M⁺ represents hydrogen
and the composition contains a detergent active agent, the bleaching agent is selected
from an inorganic peroxy compounds and bleach activator combination or an organic
peroxy acid.
