Abstract:
The present invention provides an oral care composition comprising: (a) a first composition comprising a silica abrasive and a first zinc compound selected from zinc citrate, zinc chloride, zinc acetate, zinc lactate, zinc salicylate, zinc sulfate, and zinc nitrate; and (b) a second composition comprising a calcium carbonate abrasive; wherein the first composition and/or the second composition further comprises a second zinc compound selected from zinc oxide, zinc carbonate and zinc tartrate; and wherein the oral care composition optionally further comprises from 0.1 to 1.75 weight % of a tartar control agent, based on the total weight of the oral care composition.
Abstract:
A method is described for producing magnolol, or a derivative or analogue thereof. The method includes obtaining MOM ether of 5,5'-diallylbiphenyl-2,2'-diol or a derivative or analogue thereof and subsequently converting the MOM ether of 5,5'-diallylbiphenyl-2,2'-diol into magnolol or a derivative or analogue thereof.
Abstract:
Disclosed are processes for producing Arginine by fermentation in which sugars obtained by enzymatic starch hydrolysis from inexpensive starch containing agro-wastes, such as Cassava bagasse and Jackfruit seed powder, are fermented in the presence of microorganisms to produce a fermentated liquor containing Arginine, and recovering Arginine from the liquor. The process can economically be scaled up for the production of Arginine from unrefined sugar sources as it produced Arginine in higher yields, when compared to more expensive synthetic carbon sources, like dextrose or sucrose.
Abstract:
A cleansing bar comprising at least one member chosen from clay and talc, wherein a total amount of clay and talc is present in an amount that is greater than any other material in the cleansing bar, at least one cleanser chosen from soap and surfactant, and a binder present in an amount to structure the cleansing bar into a bar.
Abstract:
Improved analytical, diagnostic, monitoring, and other methods (and their associated devices) for evaluating the extent of deposition of an agent onto a substrate are described. Exemplary methods may be used in the in the monitoring of the dental health of patients or in the fast, efficient screening and/ or characterization of formulations in terms of their use for depositing oral actives onto tooth surfaces. The methods involve the direct or in situ analysis of substrates, onto which agents are deposited, using Near-IR spectroscopy and/ or UV spectroscopy.
Abstract:
A composition of matter comprising an oil adduct synthesized by an oil and an addition material, wherein the oil includes at least one member chosen from an ethoxylated oil, a hydrogenated oil, and an ethoxylated and hydrogenated oil; wherein the average degree of ethoxylation in the ethoxylated (optionally hydrogenated) oil is less than about 10 based on moles of ethylene oxide per mole of oil; wherein the hydrogenated (optionally ethoxylated) oil has an iodine value of less than about 75; wherein the oil is capable of undergoing reaction with the addition material through a hydroxyl group of the oil; and wherein the addition material includes at least one member chosen from carboxylic acid anhydrides, maleic anhydride, dicarboxylic acids, fumaric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, lactic acid, glycolic acid, lactobionic acid, carnitine, salicylic acid, and (meth)acrylic acid.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an oral composition useful to reduce inflammatory processes. More specifically, the invention relates to a composition consisting essentially of an anti-oxidative effective amount of morin and a water-humectant phase, and to a composition comprising an anti-oxidative effective amount of morin, one or more anti-bacterial agents and a water-humectant phase. In an embodiment, the composition is used in a method of preventing or treating inflammatory dental diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
Abstract:
A dual component oral composition to suppress oral malodor and provide long lasting breath protection in the oral cavity which comprises a first dentifrice component having a substantially neutral pH and containing a zinc ion releasable compound and a chlorite ion releasable compound, the second dentifrice component having an acid pH, the first and second components being maintained separate from each other until dispensed and combined for application to teeth, the combined components having a pH of no greater than 7.
Abstract:
An improved process for making a mild, detergent-soap, toilet bar containing a C6 - C18 acyl isethionate as the principal surfactant in combination with minor proportions of C12 - C20 fatty acids, a water soluble soap and water which comprises the step of forming a liquid mixture of said acyl isethionate, fatty acids and soap at a temperature of about 85 DEG C to 105 DEG C in the presence of about 0.5 % to 2.5 % by weight, based upon the bar, of vegetable oil prior to processing said liquid mixture on a chill roll to form particles which are further processed to yield said bar, said liquid mixture having reduced viscosity and being readily pumpable as compared to a liquid mixture prepared in the absence of said vegetable oil. The bar produced by the foregoing process also is part of the invention.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a chlorhexidine-cyclamate complex having a formula [C 22 H 32 Cl 2 N 10 ][C 6 H 12 NO 3 S] 2 having antibacterial and antiplaque properties, together with oral care compositions comprising the complex, and methods of making and using these complexes and compositions.
