  • Patent number: 10172374
    Abstract: A dried composition with various shapes that has heat resistance by which the dried composition is less likely to melt even being boiled and restorability (imbibition), and food product containing the dried composition. The dried composition including: agar and alginate at a weight ratio of 1:1 to 1:20, the alginate contains a salt of a monovalent cation and a salt of a divalent cation, the divalent cation is 0.04 to 0.30 mol per mol and further the monovalent cation is 0.10 to 0.70 mol per mol with respect to a monomeric unit of the alginate, a mol ratio of the divalent cation to the monovalent cation is 1.0:0.35 to 1.0:8.70, and the dried composition absorbs water and swells in distilled water at 20° C. and distilled water at 90° C., and in both the cases dried composition becomes a gel having a weight of 15 to 100 times of the dried composition.

  • Publication number: 20020188045
    Abstract: The present invention aims at modifying a polyblend mainly comprising a polycarbonate resin and a polystyrene resin into a thermoplastic resin composition having flowability and impact strength equivalent to those of a polyblend comprising a polycarbonate resin and an ABS resin, and at providing a harmless flame-retardant thermoplastic resin composition based on the resulting modified composition. Specifically, the present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin comprising 100 parts by weight of a resin mixture comprising 30 to 95% by weight of a polycarbonate resin (a), 5 to 70% by weight of a polystyrene resin (b), 0.5 to 20 parts by weight of a specific block copolymer (c) and, if necessary, 0.1 to 20 parts by weight of a polyalkylene terephthalate (d), and/or 0.1 to 20 parts by weight of a polyphenylene ether resin (e), and a flame-retardant thermoplastic resin composition prepared by blending the above composition with 1 to 40 parts by weight of an organophosphorus compound (f) and, if necessary, 0.
