Publication number: 20110182832Abstract: Perfume ingredients have been investigated and classified for their effectiveness in detaching biofilms from surfaces. Based on this classification, perfume compositions that are effective in assisting biofilm detachment can be formulated, whilst also allowing a degree of freedom in formulation that permits consideration of the hedonic properties of the composition. The compositions can be used in a wide range of perfumed consumer products, such as personal, domestic and industrial products, e.g. hard surface cleaning products, dental care products, and deodorant products.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2006Publication date: July 28, 2011Applicant: QUEST INTERNATIONAL SERVICES B.V.Inventors: David Jonathan Bradshaw, Alan Forbes Provan, Christopher James Ioannou, John Martin Behan, Keith Douglas Perring

Patent number: 6596307Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing cefaclor crystalline bulk material having a dissolution rate in a capsule of ≧80% in water in 30 minutes. One process route includes reducing the water content of cefaclor dihydrates or bulk material containing cefaclor dihydrate to produce a cefaclor form having a water content ≦2%. The cefaclor having the lower water content can then be rehydrated to a water content from 3.0 to 6.5% without adversely affecting the dissolution rate. An alternative process includes the addition of at least 0.05% of cefaclor related substances to inhibit conversion of the monohydate to the dihydate form.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2001Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: Frank Brown, Jr., Robert Alan Forbes, Arlette Faye Kreager, Michael Vincent Mullen, Gregory Alan Stephenson
