Abstract: Lipids are removed from spent coffee grounds using certain lipophilic solvents or series of solvents. The resulting defatted spent coffee grounds contain less than about 2% lipids. The defatted spent coffee grounds act as an adsorbent for bitter coffee flavors and burnt coffee aromas. This adsorbent can be added to roast ground coffee, preferably low quality or dark roasted coffee, to reduce burnt aromas and bitter flavors associated with the corresponding brewed coffee or coffee extract.

Abstract: The present invention provides a combined package comprising a container and a mascara applicator. The applicator includes a hollow shaft having a longitudinal axis extending from the handle. A rod having a brush affixed at one end reciprocates within the hollow shaft. The rod has a first position and a second position such that when the handle of the applicator is secured to the container the rod reciprocates to the first position extending the hinge beyond the hollow shaft such that the brush is substantially non-aligned with the longitudinal axis of the hollow shaft. Upon removal of the applicator from the container the rod reciprocates to the second position causing the hinge to retract within the hollow shaft, thereby substantially aligning the brush with the longitudinal axis of the hollow shaft. This combined package allows the user to stir the product within the container when both attaching and removing the applicator to and from the container.

Abstract: Polyhydroxy amines reacted with fatty acid esters yield polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants, such as the C.sub.11 -C.sub.17 fatty N-methyl glucamides, which may be contaminated with secondary amines. Such amines are acylated by a reaction with acetic anhydride. The resulting "clean" polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants are preferred for use in the presence of oxidants, especially in the formulation of modern, colorless liquid detergents.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for making nonphosphated automatic dishwashing detergents which have granular form and comprise a conventional nonphosphorus builder system consisting essentially of an organic builder salt (such as citrate) and a dispersant (such as a polyacrylate); and an oxygen bleach system comprising a chelant (such as ethylenediamine disuccinate) and a bleach active (such as perborate or percarbonate) optionally with enzymes and/or dry-mixed hydrous silicates. The invention secures stable, free-flowing granules by a premix step in which the chelant and dispersant are brought together; a drying step using conventional equipment; and one or more admix steps in which the bleach active is mixed with the product of the drying step.

Abstract: This invention relates to homogeneous liquid laundry detergent compositions containing polyhydroxy fatty acid amide, silicone antifoam composition, and anionic, nonionic or amphoteric surfactant.

Abstract: A process for making aseptic citrus sensible pulp involves the steps of: (a) extracting and finishing citrus juice containing sensible pulp to produce a pulp/juice slurry containing 30% to 50% pulp and 50% to 70% juice; (b) sterilizing the pulp/juice slurry by heating it at a temperature above 190.degree. F. (88.degree. C.) for at least 30 seconds; (c) further finishing the pulp/juice slurry in a finisher which maintains aseptic conditions to produce an aseptic pulp product containing 80% to 100% pulp and up to 20% juice; and (d) packaging the pulp product under aseptic conditions. An aseptic citrus sensible pulp product comprises 80% to 100% citrus sensible pulp and up to 20% citrus juice, where the sensible pulp is aseptic, has a pectin methylesterase activity not more than 1.0 P.E.U., and has an average size 10% to 25% larger than conventional pulp, and where at least 90% of the sensible pulp is broken juice sacs. A citrus juice comprises 93% to 97.5% citrus juice with a viscosity not more than 5.
