Abstract: The present invention relates to multifunctionalized polyorganosiloxanes comprising, per molecule at least one functional siloxy unit Y having C1-C5 alkoxy radical and at least one other functional siloxy unit W having an halogenated or polyhalogenated alkyl, aralkyl or aryl; polyether ether; epoxidized alkyl; alkoxyalkyl; hydroxylated, carbonylated or esterified alkyl; phenol; and alkoxysilyl; and optionally at least one siloxy unit having a SiH group. The alkoxy functionality Y is introduced onto a suitable polyhydroorganosiloxane by a dehydrogenation/condensation reaction from the alcohol from which Y derives and then the non-hydrogen functionality W by a hydrosilylation reaction from the olefinic compound from which W derives. The multifunctionalized polyorganosiloxanes can be used as antiadhesion modulators in silicone compositions.

Abstract: Suspensions of solid particulates in aqueous media, useful, e.g., as thickeners in a wide variety of foodstuff and industrial applications, are sedimentations stabilized by incorporating therein a stabilizing amount of xanthan/carob gum, optionally starch admixture.

Abstract: Stable oil-in-water emulsions are prepared containing a relatively high concentration of from 8 to 60% by weight of a heteropolysaccharide bipolymer, e.g., xanthan gum preferably, the emulsions contain greater than 15 up to 60% biopolymer, 40 to 99 parts of an aqueous phase containing 10 to 60% by weight biopolymer and 40% to 90% by weight water, 1 to 60 parts oil and 1 to 40% with respect to the aqueous phase and oil of a surface active agent. The emulsions are prepared by combining powdered biopolymer with water, oil and surfactant or by concentrating an oil-in-water emulsion containing the biopolymer such as by ultrafiltration. A fermentation wort containing the biopolymer may be used in preparing the emulsion.
