Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for obtaining extracts based on polyphenol compounds contained in cocoa, characterised in that it consists in: using fresh beans, which have not been pre-treated or defatted, said fresh beans whereof their pulp and shell have been eliminated, so as to obtain clean almonds; grinding said almonds, in the presence of solvent(s); macerating the ground almonds in conditions enabling extraction of the desired compounds; filtering the macerated mixture; recuperating an extract containing said compounds from the filtrate. The invention also concerns the extracts and their uses for cosmetic, food and therapeutic purposes.
Abstract:
The invention concerns the use of at least an oligosaccharide comprising 2 to 6 sugars and containing at least 2 galactose motifs, preferably two vicinal end-of-chain galactose motifs, or a plant extract containing same, as cosmetic or dermatological agent, in particular for stimulating beta-endorphin production in the skin. The invention enables to provide care for sensitive skins, in particular to fight against skin sensitivity, uncomfortable reactions, to provide sensations of well-being, and to produce a local analgesic action.
Abstract:
The invention relates to extracts from residues left in the production of wine, and to the use thereof as active substance combinations for producing cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a gum carob with average mole weight (Mw) ranging between 2.5.10 and 1.5.10 g/mol and whereof at least 60 wt. % of said gum is soluble in an aqueous medium at a temperature not higher than 60 DEG C.
Abstract translation:本发明涉及平均摩尔重量(Mw)在2.5×10 -5至1.5×10 6 g / mol之间的胶瓜,其中至少60wt。 所述胶的%可溶于水介质中,温度不高于60℃。
Abstract:

Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for selectively extracting furan lipids and polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols of avocado, characterised in that it comprises steps which consist in: preparing an unsaponifiable matter of avocado; then in subjecting the unsaponifiable matter of avocado to a step of molecular distillation using adjusted temperature and pressure means to obtain either a distillate comprising mainly furan lipids and polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols of avocado. Said method enables in particular to extract selectively furan lipids of avocado having a furan lipid content of more than 80 wt. %, even close to 98 %.
Abstract:
An oil-containing granular composition which comprises dietary fibers and fats and oils, and has a content of fats and oils of 30 to 75 wt %; and a method for producing the composition, characterized in that food fibers and fats and oils are agitated in a dry atmosphere and then granulated. The oil-containing granular composition is suitable for use in foods, drugs and cosmetics, is excellent in the resistance to blocking, and has a property that when it is liquefied in hot water, oil drops float on the surface of the hot water and the crystallization of the fats and oils after liquefying is slow.
Abstract:
A product for treating and conditioning cuticles using a semi-solid emollient and a complimentary delivery system is disclosed. The emollient could be any semi-solid emollient suitable for cuticle treatment, the emollient preferably including naturally derived botanicals that impart a "dry" feel, and a soothing and softening effect on the cuticle area. Isopropyl jojoba (IPJ) and hydrogenated isopropyl jojoba (HIPJ) esters, hydrogenated jojoba alcohol, jojoba esters, hydrogenated jojoba oil, ethyl macadamiate and other esters, waxes and oils may be used in the emollient to contribute to the "dry" feel and serve as carriers for active materials used to treat cuticles. The semi-solid emollient is retained in a container, preferably in stick form, and is extendable from and preferably retractable into the container, which can be carried by an individual. The container is designed to enable a user to apply the emollient to a cuticle area without touching the emollient with his/her fingertips, thereby preventing application or migration of the emollient to unselected areas.
