Abstract: The present invention discloses a method to modify the taste profile of consumables by adding esters of quinic acid and cinnamic acid derivatives. These esters, which belong to the family of chlorogenic acid, may be synthetic or may be extracted from a natural source such as a botanical. Chlorogenic acid is added to consumables to mask bitter off-tastes or other displeasing tastes imparted by one or more natural, synthetic or semi-synthetic components in the consumable.

Abstract: In a process for producing fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from fats or oils by transesterification with methanol in the presence of an alkaline catalyst in at least two reaction stages traversed in succession, each consisting of a stirred-tank reactor and a downstream separator, a phase containing FAME and a phase containing glycerol are generated, which are separated in the separator, wherein the phase containing FAME is recirculated into the stirred-tank reactor of the next succeeding reaction stage and the phase containing glycerol is recirculated into the stirred-tank reactor of the first reaction stage, and the crude FAME withdrawn from the separator of the last reaction stage is transferred into a separator and the FAME withdrawn is dried.

Abstract: A water-free composition for the bleaching and brightening of human hair and with a simultaneous conditioning effect comprises a) at least one compound with a bleaching or brightening effect, in particular a peroxide and/or an ammonium salt, and b) ?-oryzanol at a concentration of 0.001% to 5% by weight, calculated to the total composition.

Abstract: Foamed polyurethane articles, such as a sponges, sheets, tapes or ribbons, blocks or other molded, extruded or cast article which foamed polyurethane articles exhibit an antimicrobial benefit and are particularly useful in the formation of cleaning articles. Processes for the manufacture of such cleaning articles based on hydrophilic polyurethane foams exhibit an antimicrobial benefit and their use are also described.

Abstract: A packaging and display box (1). The box (1) has a base (2) with a retaining wall (4) adjacent a section of its perimeter. The wall is for retaining a primary package. The box has a lid (3) which extends between two portions of the base. The lid (3) covers at least a part of the primary package. The lid (3) is attached to the retaining perimeter wall such that removal of the lid from the package causes detachment of the perimeter wall from the base.

Abstract: A pump comprising a container containing a dispense material, an outlet and an actuator arranged to alternate between a first and a second configuration in response to a change in the pump's environment, which change in configuration causes an aliquot of dispense material to be expelled through the outlet.

Abstract: The invention relates to pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes for flying splice of flat web materials, having at least one splittable carrier and two layers of adhesive, at least one of the adhesives being a silicone PSA, more particularly an electron-beam-crosslinked silicone PSA, and also to a method of producing them. The silicone PSA advantageously has at least one polydiorganosiloxane having the structure —Si(R2)—O—[Si(R2)—O]n—Si(R2)—, where the 2n+4 substituents R independently of one another are monovalent hydrocarbon radicals and n is an integer, and also at least one resin (“MQ resin”) constructed from (R2)3SiO1/2— units (“M units”) and SiO4/2 units (“Q units”), the substituents R2 of the M units being independently of one another alkyl groups, alkenyl groups, alkylsilyl groups, hydroxyl groups or hydrogen.

Abstract: A hard surface detergent composition is provided, said composition comprising a peroxygen bleach capable of exhibiting bleaching properties at a pH of below 9, and an amino ketone or derivative thereof bleach activator, and wherein a 1% wt solution in distilled water at 25° C. of the composition has a pH lower than 9. Potassium monopersulphate is the preferred bleach compound and diethyl amino acetone or derivative thereof is the preferred bleach activator. The compositions exhibit good bleaching performance at pHs of less than 9.
