Abstract: A structured liquid composition having a liquid matrix having water and a fibrous network structurant, the fibrous network structurant having a non-polymeric crystalline hydroxyl-functional materials; a bacterial cellulose network; and mixtures thereof; and an encapsulated active. The encapsulated active is suspended within the liquid matrix of the structured liquid composition such that the encapsulated actives do not undesirably sink, float, or collect in any discrete portion of the composition. Further, the structured liquid composition can be in the form of a raw material such as an encapsulated active slurry, in the form of an additive such as a laundry additive, and as a consumer end product. In one embodiment, the encapsulated active is a perfume microcapsule.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes and systems for treating leather articles, especially lipophilic fluid systems for treating leather articles. More particularly, the present invention relates to processes and systems employing treating agents that treat, for example clean, leather articles without causing damage to the appearance of the leather articles as compared to the leather articles' original appearance prior to treatment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for treating a lipophilic fluid contained in an emulsion of water and lipophilic fluid. The process includes the steps of pretreating the emulsion, removing lipophilic fluid from the emulsion, and purifying the lipophilic fluid to remove at least a portion of the impurities collected during the use of the emulsion. Method options are provided for each of the aforementioned steps.
