  • Patent number: 6369007
    Abstract: Amphoteric derivatives of aliphatic polyamines, such as diethylenetriamine or bis (hexamethylene) triamine reacted with long chain fatty acids, esters or triglycerides from various natural or synthetic sources are effective in the softening/texture modification of substrates such as paper, textiles, human skin surfaces and hair tresses, as well as in applications for metal working and lubrication. The polyamines are first reacted with fatty acids, esters or triglycerides derived from various animal, vegetable or synthetic sources ranging in molecular distribution from butyric through erucic acids (e.g. milkfat, soy bean oil, rapeseed oil) to form amidoamines or imidazolines; and are then further reacted with unsaturated or carboxylated epoxy compounds (e.g. acrylic acid, itaconic acid, verndic) to form the various amphoteric structures.

  • Patent number: 6008027
    Abstract: A lactase-containing preparation is prepared for use by mammals having a lactase deficiency. A dried bacterial culture containing lactase is mixed with a desiccant such as silicon oxide to stabilize water content of the dried culture. A unit dosage of the resultant stabilized dried bacterial culture is encapsulated in an ingestible capsule such as gelatin capsule. The capsule is coated with an enteric polymer, and the coated capsule is treated under vacuum pressure to remove oxygen and moisture. The treated coated capsule has an extended shelf-life at room and elevated temperatures, and provides lactase activity for at least 10 hours after ingestion. The dried bacterial culture may be in freeze dried form. Suitable bacterial cultures are Lactobacillus acidophillus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus.
