Abstract: A method for preparing a fat composition by reacting a sterol raw material with a triglyceride raw material to create the fat composition.

Abstract: The invention refers to a process for fractionating a vegetable oil giving one or more solid fractions suitable for confectionary applications as well as a liquid fraction rich in unsaponifiable biologically active components. The liquid fractions of shea butter and rapeseed oil having a high content of phytosterols and tocoferols, respectively, are useful for cosmetical and pharmaceutical preparations.

Abstract: A cationic silicone compound which can be employed in a variety of environments, such as a fiber lubricant, textile fabric softener, hair conditioner, and skin conditioner is formed from an aminosilicone compound which has the following Formula (I): ##STR1## wherein a, b, and c are 0-300;d is 0-4, preferably 1 or 2;R.sub.1 comprises hydrogen, an alkyl, aryl, alkynyl, alkenyl, alkyloxyalkylene group which may be unsubstituted or substituted with P, N, or S moieties;R.sub.2 is defined the same as R.sub.1 and can also be a carboxylic acid residue preferably a fatty acid residues, with the proviso that where R.sub.2 is a carboxylic acid residue, the R.sub.1 attached to the terminal N is hydrogen;R.sub.3 is defined the same as R.sub.2 and can also be alkoxy, aryloxy or oxyalkylene groups;R.sub.4 is defined the same as R.sub.3 and can also be an amino-substituted alkyl group;Z.sub.1 and Z.sub.

Abstract: A graft copolymer is produced by grafting both at least one perfluoroacrylate and at least one N-(oxymethyl)acrylamide, e.g., IBMA, onto a poly(oxyalkylene) composition. This graft copolymer is water dispersible prior to crosslinking while after crosslinking, it becomes a highly durable hydrophobic and oil repellent coating for fibers, textiles, and the like.

Abstract: A method of solubilizing a first compound in a second medium where the first compound has a limited solubility in the second medium. In particular, the method comprises reacting the first compound with the second medium. By this reaction, a product is formed whereby an active component of the first compound is covalently incorporated into the second medium.The first compound and second medium each contain at least one reactive group which will react with a reactive group of the other. In addition, the first compound comprises at least one antioxidant which will be covalently bonded to and thus effectively solubilized in the second medium by the reaction.The second medium comprises glyceride derivatives, silicones, fluorocarbons and alkoxylates containing reactive groups such as hydroxy, amino, carboxyl, ester, or amides.
