Abstract: The present invention is a non-aqueous detergent composition comprising a surfactant comprising 2 vicinal hydroxyl groups selected from poly hydroxy fatty acid amides, alkyl mono and di(alkoxy) glyceryl ethers, alkane 1,2-diols, alkyl glycerates and N-alkyl-lactobioamides, and a boron comprising compound. The molar ratio of said surfactant to said boron comprising compound are equal to or lower than 2:1.

Abstract: Aqueous acidic bleaching compositions are described which comprise hydrogen peroxide and a specific class of surfactants which stabilize hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract: Mildly acidic multi-purpose liquid cleaning compositions which comprise a specific nonionic surfactant system are disclosed. The nonionic surfactant system comprises at least four different nonionic surfactants belonging to four different HLB classes. The compositions can be used for laundering, hard surface cleaning for bathrooms, kitchens or floors, as well as for cleaning carpets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous oral compositions and methods of use providing improved antimicrobial activity and thereby reducing oral bacteria, mouth malodor and further promoting oral health.

Abstract: Liquid detergent compositions are described which comprise conventional detergency ingredients and color-stabilizing compounds yielding various sulfite ions in the finished product.

Abstract: A container (1) of thermoplastic material comprising a side wall (2) and a base (3), said base comprising in a cross section in a plane comprising the container's vertical axis (A), a concave inwards curved section (4) connected to the side wall (2), at least two successive stairs, each stair consisting of a straight part (5,5') forming an angle (.alpha.1, .alpha.2) with a plane (B) perpendicular to said axis (A), followed by a sharp concave outwards curve (6,6'), and a dome (8) consisting of a smooth concave outwards curve, said base (3) being symmetrical about said axis (A).

Abstract: Included are liquid detergent compositions comprising anionic and/or nonionic surfactant, proteolytic enzyme, second enzyme, and an aromatic borate ester.

Abstract: The method for preparing these beverages and concentrates involves forming a premix solution containing highly soluble calcium citrate and malate species which is then combined with concentrated fruit juice, plus other fruit juice materials. This method provides beverages and concentrates which contain substantial levels of solubilized calcium without generating cooked/browned off-flavors and without including undesirable species such as chloride ions.

Abstract: Beverages and beverage concentrates nutritionally supplemented with significant levels of solubilized calcium and containing low levels of sulfate, preferably in combination with low levels of chloride, are disclosed. These beverages and concentrates also contain specified levels of edible acids selected from phosphoric acid, citric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, gluconic acid, and lactic acid, as well as mixtures of these acids. The particular acid systems are selected to provide the desired flavor and sourness character for the beverages and concentrates. Inclusion of low levels of sulfate/chloride in these beverages and concentrates provides a quicker onset of sourness, prevents or reduces aftertaste effects and improves the solubility of the calcium, particularly when high levels of phosphoric acid or citric acid are used.
