Abstract 1. A DETERGENT COMPOSITION COMPRISING: (A) AT LEAST ONE DETERGENT SURFACE ACTIVE AGENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ANIONIC, NONIONIC, ZWITTERIONIC AND AMPHOLYTIC AGENTS; (B) AN ORGANIC BIODEGRADABLE DETERGENT BUILDER COMPRISING A WATER SOLUBLE SALT OF AN ESTER-LINKED CARBOXYL DERIVATIVE OF A POLYSACCHARIDE, SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF STARCH MALEATE, STARCH SUCCINATE, STARCH PHTHALATE, STARCH GLUTARATE, STARCH CITRACONATE, STARCH ITACONATE, STARCH DIGLYCOLATE AND STARCH DILACTATE WHEREIN THE D.S. VALUE RANGES FROM ABOUT 0.5-3 AND WHEREIN SAID BUILDER REPRESENTS FROM ABOUT 20% TO ABOUT 60% OF THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE DETERGENT COMPOSITION AND THE WEIGHT RATIO OF BUILDER TO SURFACTANT IS FROM ABOUT 1:10 TO ABOUT 50:1.
