Abstract:
An oral composition comprising in an orally acceptable vehicle, an effective antiplaque amount of an halogenated diphenyl ether or phenolic antibacterial compound, and an amount of an mixed anionic/zwitterionic surfactant system which is effective to increase the uptake of the antibacterial compound to dental tissue so as to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of the administered antibacterial compound.
Abstract:
A composition of matter comprising an oil adduct of an oil capable of undergoing an adduct reaction and at least one addition material chosen from an alpha hydroxy acid and a beta hydroxy acid.
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:
Disclosed herein are methods of enhancing the solubility and delivery of one or more active ingredients found in magnolia extract, or a synthetic analogue thereof, in an oral composition.
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:
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 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.
