Patent number: 11291971Abstract: A planar flow reactor includes a straight planar process channel, a flow generator, and a plurality of static mixing elements disposed within the process channel. The flow generator is configured to generate a pulsatile flow within the process channel, and the static mixing elements are configured to locally split and recombine the flow. The straight planar process channel enables the generation of a flow pattern that is largely independent of the width of the process channel, meaning that the throughput may be increased by increasing the width without significantly affecting the residence time distribution or the flow behavior. Furthermore, by creating a pulsatile flow within the process channel, turbulence and/or chaotic fluid flows may be generated even at low net flow rates, i.e. low net Reynolds numbers.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignees: AJINOMOTO OMNICHEM, ECOSYNTHInventors: Bert D F Metten, Koen Toye, Koen Jeanne Alfons Van Aken, Wouter Debrouwer

Patent number: 8465973Abstract: The present invention provides topical compositions containing phosphorylated polyphenols in combination with a topically acceptable carrier. The compositions of the invention provide a means for delayed delivery of the polyphenol to keratinous tissues, such as skin, hair and nails, with enzymes of the keratinous tissue dephosphorylating the polyphenol, and returning it to its native active form. The compositions are particularly useful in the regulation of skin conditions. the phosphorylated stilbene is a phosphorylated resveratrol or a phosphorylated resveratrol derivative.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2009Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignees: Estee Lauder Coordination Center N.V., Ajinomoto Omnichem S.A.Inventors: Lieve Declercq, Hugo Corstjens, Daniƫl Maes, Willy Van Brussel, Geert Schelkens

Publication number: 20080076833Abstract: The present invention relates to phosphorylated polyphenols, preferably tannins that, unlike their unphosphorylated counterparts, do not suffer from relatively low stability, resulting in an activity that is relatively short in time, and/or that do not result in yellowing of materials therewith such as textiles or polymers. The present invention further relates to a simple, cheap and environmentally friendly way of preparing these compounds. The phosphorylation process of the invention can be extended to simple phenolic compounds as well, as long as these have at least one accessible hydroxyl group. The phosphorylated compounds according to the invention can be used as antioxidants, as radical scavengers, as complexating agents for metals and proteins, as antibacterials or antiallergenic compounds, and as agents to flock textile.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2004Publication date: March 27, 2008Applicant: AJINOMOTO OMNICHEM S.A.Inventors: Willy Van Brussel, Geert Schelkens, Patrick Ricquier
