Abstract: The invention provides a water-in-oil emulsion for the preparation of a frozen confection, the emulsion comprising a weight ratio of water phase to oil phase of from 94:6 to 70:30 wherein: the oil phase comprises at least an edible oil and an emulsifier, the emulsifier having an average HLB of from 0.1 to 5; the water phase comprises at least water and one or more freezing point depressors; the emulsion comprises at least (W×A) wt % emulsifier by weight of the emulsion where: W is the proportion of the water phase in the emulsion expressed as the weight percentage of the total emulsion; and A is 0.0001; the emulsion comprises at most (O×0.

Abstract: The invention relates to a laundry detergent shading composition that has been coated with a polymer that serves to promote the stability of the dye.

Abstract: A process for incorporation of up to 2% antioxidant into a granular detergent formulation comprising at least 5% organic surfactant, including the steps of: a) dissolving the antioxidant in an organic surfactant selected from the group comprising anionic surfactant, nonionic surfactant and mixtures thereof, provided that the organic surfactant contains less than 5% by weight, preferably less than 3% by weight soap and most preferably is soap free; and b) adding the solution formed in step a) to the detergent formulation and use of the granular laundry detergent composition to confer improved deposition of the antioxidant onto rubber during a wash process.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a granular detergent component comprising an organic superabsorbing material, which process comprises absorbing an aqueous solution, dispersion or emulsion of detergent ingredient on the organic superabsorbing material and removing water by an evaporative process.

Abstract: An encapsulated bleach particle is provided, comprising(a) 1-30% by weight of a coating including a gelled polymer material (as herein defined);(b) 99-70% by weight of a core material selected from the group consisting of a peroxygen bleach compound, a bleach catalyst, and a bleach precursor.This particle was found to have both favourable storage stability and good solubility characteristics. Furthermore, a process for producing encapsulated particles having said composition is provided.
