Abstract

A detergent composition containing surfactant, builder component, oxygen-based bleaching agent, bleach activator, and enzyme, wherein the builder component is an oxidatively modified oligosaccharide which contains a --COOH group instead of a --CH(OH)--CHO group at its originally reducing end group and which has an average degree of oligomerization of from 2 to 20.
