Abstract:
The invention provides a concentrated detergent composition comprisingalkali metal carbonate, alkali metal percarbonate, and a peroxidation catalyst according to formula (I) [(LM)X]Y, wherein each L independently is an organic ligand containing at least three nitrogen atoms that coordinate with the metal M;M is Mn or Fe; each X independently is a coordinating or bridging group selected from the group consisting of HO, OH, SH, HO, O, O, S, F, Cl, Br, I, NO, NO, SO, SO, PO, N, CN, NR, NCS, RCN, RS, RCO, RO, andwith R being hydrogen or a Cto Calkyl group; p is an integer from 1 to 4; q is an integer from 1 to 2; r is an integer from 0 to 6; Y is a counter ion; and s is the number of counter ions. The invention also relates to the use of said concentrated detergent composition as a warewashing detergent for the removal of starch soil.
