Abstract: Disclosed are selenium sulfide lotion shampoos containing peroxy oxidizing agents, such as hydrogen peroxide and sodium percarbonate. These compositions provide antidandruff efficacy and do not become discolored upon storage. A method for preparing color-stable selenium sulfide shampoo compositions is also taught.

Abstract: Solid absorbent materials, having adsorbed thereto from about 50 ppm to about 3000 ppm of a soluble salt of a transition metal of Group Ib or Group IIb of the periodic table of the elements, when used as animal litter products, effectively prevent the development of urine odors.

Abstract: Solid absorbent materials, having adsorbed thereto from about 25 ppm to about 500 ppm of a halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon bacteriostat, when used as animal litter products, effectively prevent the development of urine odors.Absorbent pads having adsorbed thereto from about 5000 ppm to about 30,000 ppm of the bacteriostat when used as liners in litter boxes likewise effectively control odor development.

Abstract: Pleasant-tasting, non-greasy, edible compositions, preferably in liquid form, comprising edible oil or oil-like materials, a high potency, lipid soluble sweetener, such as saccharin, and a lipid soluble flavorant, are disclosed. These compositions are particularly useful as an oral dosage form for vitamins or pharmaceutical materials; in such embodiments the edible oil-like material may consist, in whole or in part, of an oily pharmaceutical agent, such as polyol fatty acid esters having at least four fatty acid ester groups, each fatty acid having from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Halogenation is carried out regiospecifically in the presence of a cyanoquinone.

Abstract: A concentrated emulsion of non-absorbable liquid polyol polyesters and high melting fatty acids or esters thereof in water can be diluted to a highly palatable beverage. The emulsifier system comprises a polyglycerol ester and an aliphatic glycol ester. The beverage provides the hypercholesteremic or obese patient with a highly agreeable vehicle for his daily requirement of non-absorbable liquid polyol polyester.

Abstract: Peroxygen fabric bleaching compounds capable of yielding hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous solution are activated by long chain acyl compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein Z is a leaving group which can be certain enols, carbon acids or N-alkyl quaternary imidazoles. The activated bleaching compositions herein are stable and especially suitable for use at relatively low temperatures. Bleaching processes and detergent compositions containing the bleaching compositions are also described.

Abstract: A process for preparing primary substituted n-alkane compounds, comprising contacting the olefin product of an olefin metathesis reaction having an alpha-olefin as the reactant with a bis-cyclopentadienyl zirconium hydrohalide and, after contacting the product of the olefin-zirconium hydrohalide reaction with an electrophilic reagent, recovering said primary substituted n-alkane compound.
