Abstract:
A process for fermenting a substrate comprising soy protein and a carbohydrate using two specific strains of mesophilic bacteria, to improve the flavour of the soy protein and foodstuffs containing such.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to fabric conditioning compositions and processes for cleaning and conditioning. The invention especially relates to processes for easier cleaning of the fabric onto which a stain or soil is deposited after treating a fabric with the composition of the invention. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fabric cleaning and/or conditioning composition that utilizes less (or no) surfactant and less energy. It is a further object of the invention to provide a composition that is biodegradable, to meet every increasing demand to provide environmentally friendly detergent products that are required by both consumers and legislators throughout the world. Surprisingly it has been found that the combination of a protein and a carboxylic polymeric acid or a polysaccharide or a gum polymer and a protein in an aqueous medium provide a secondary cleaning benefit (next-time-cleaning-benefit) to fabrics.

Abstract:
Aqueous composition comprising 0.01 to 5% wt. of an alkyl-modified silicone and a dendritic macromolecule wherein the alkyl-modified silicone is characterised by the general formula (I): (CH3)3Si-O-[Si(CH3)(R)O]m-[Si(CH3)2O]n-Si(CH3)3 (I) in which m has a value of 1 to 450, n has a value of 1 to 3000 and R is a monovalent alkyl radical of from 8 to 60 carbon atoms and is fluid under ambient conditions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a skin colour shade-card, method of using the shade-card, and a shade-card packaged with a composition to form a kit for evaluating skin- tone, and for demonstrating proof of efficacy or facilitating product selection. The present invention provides a skin colour shade-card comprising a substrate and indicia placed onto said substrate, the indicia comprising a graduated scale of colour shades related to a person's first a nd second attribute, wherein the shade-card comprises a pointer associated with the graduated scale for each of the attribute.
Abstract:
A product evaluation and selection process for consumer products is described. The process includes demonstrating the effectiveness of consumer product on consumer skin by comparing actual images of skin treated with product to images of skin that were artificially transformed. The process also includes the assignment of a symbol associated with a difference in product performance where the symbol may be used to aid consumers in selecting product.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a filter comprising a carbon block enveloped with spiral wound layer of non-pleated fabric enveloped with spirally wound layer of pleated fabric. The combination of these three elements gives more than 3.5 log cyst removal from contaminated water, over prolonged usage of more than 2300 liters of water. The invention also relates to a gravity filtration device that comprises the filter of the invention. A method of filtering water is also claimed where the water flows first through the pleated fabric, then through the non-pleated fabric and then through the carbon block.
