Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of the preparation of a cationic surfactant, derived from the condensation of fatty acids and esterified dibasic amino acids, having the formula (I): having a mean particle diameter of less than 300 μm; by preparing the cationic surfactant with a remaining content of water less than 5% by weight in a first step; and milling this dried material in the second step.
Abstract:
The invention is a method for the treatment of food products, wherein the food product is cut in slices or in cubes, and the slices or cubes are treated with an antimicrobial solution in the form of a cloud of droplets, characterized in that the treatment with the antimicrobial solution is conducted during the cutting of the slices or the cubes. The invention is also a cutting device for conducting the method of the invention. This cutting device contains at least one nozzle or system of spray dosage for the simultaneous treatment of the slices of the food product and the cutting blade.
Abstract:
Cationic surfactants derived from the condensation of fatty acids and esterified dibasic amino acids, such as from lauric acid and arginine, in particular the ethyl ester of the laurarnide of the arginine monohydrochloride (LAE), may be used for the treatment of objects which are infected with spores. The spores may originate from bacteria or fungi.

Abstract:
A solid composition comprising a cationic surfactant, such as the ethyl ester of the lauramide of the arginine monohydrochloride (LAE) and a polyene fungicide such as natamycin is provided. The solid composition is the basis for providing solutions of natamycin of increased concentration. The solid composition may be used for providing a dispersion of natamycin in a suitable liquid, such as tap water or an organic solvent. The dispersion may be further diluted with water. This leads to a solution of natamycin in water. The combination of the cationic surfactant and the polyene fungicide displays a biological effect which is stronger than the effect of each of the two components alone.

Abstract:
Use of cationic surfactants, derived from the condensation of fatty acids and esterified dibasic amino acids, of the formula (I): occasionally leads to a bitter taste, when the compound is present in a large concentration. The bitter taste can be masked by combination with a second component selected from the list consisting of sucralose, neohespiridin (NHDC), β-cyclodextrin, mono ammonium glycyrrhizinate (MAG), banana, mentholyptus, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), anetol, menthol, thaumatin, adenosine monophosphate (AMP), aloten, arginine, sodium acetate, arilic acids (ferulic acid, caffeic acid), sclareolide, maltol, anane, phosphatidic acid, eucalyptol, lactisole, lysozyme, lactoglobulin, timol, borneol, acetol, phosphothreonine, phosphotyrosine, phosphoserine, Masking flavour 501521T, Masking flavour 501522, saccharine, aspartame, MK22 N&A FL for masking #25682, MM24 Prosweet N&A FL Enhancer, neodiosmin, xylitol, stevia and Natural and Functional Flavour (NAF ® ).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a use of a composition for protecting oral cavity and teeth containing ethyl-Nα-lauroyl-L-arginate HCI (LAE), a corresponding composition and a corresponding method for protecting teeth. Because of nearly epidemic incidence of dental erosion, there is a continuing need for improved products that provide protection against dental erosion. Hence, it is an object of the present invention to protect teeth against dental erosion. Surprisingly, it has been found that ethyl-Nα-lauroyl-L-arginate HCI (LAE) and its salts attach to teeth and provide protection of teeth from erosion especially caused by the action of acid in food products and drinks such as chewing gum and lozenges compositions. Special advantages of this invention are: (a) sustained coating of the teeth by LAE and its homologues; (b) the coating agent provides a source of neutralizing plaque acids by providing sustained base formation. This is because arginines in LAE is degraded by bacteria on tooth in the mouth to produce ammonia. Thus, this chemistry not only provides the coating protection but also generates base to maintain pH balance on a sustained basis; and (c) avoid the use of brushing with abrasive cleansers.

Cationic surfactants derived from the condensation of fatty acids and esterified dibasic amino acids, such as from lauric acid and arginine, in particular the ethyl ester of the lauramide of the arginine monohydrochloride (LAE), may be used for the treatment of fish which is infected with parasites. The cationic surfactants of this type are effective against the larvae of parasites such as Anisakis.
