  • Publication number: 20180263956
    Abstract: This invention relates to improved solutions comprising ascorbic acid (vitamin C). These solutions may comprise as much as 15% ascorbic acid; they are stable, without significant development of yellowish coloration or substantial (not more than 10%) degradation of the vitamin. The process involves sequential additions of ascorbic acid and glycols to water.

  • Publication number: 20170252321
    Abstract: This invention relates to improved solutions comprising ascorbic acid (vitamin C). These solutions may comprise as much as 15% ascorbic acid; they are stable for at least two years, without no significant development of yellowish coloration and no substantial (not more than 10%) degradation of the vitamin. The process involves sequential additions of ascorbic acid and ethoxydiglycol to a first solution of vitamin in water, which are followed by addition of propylene glycol. The stirring speed that occurs during the additions favors a process of micronization. Mild heating is used to achieve ascorbic acid concentrations equivalent to about 6% in 10% water or higher.

  • Patent number: 4405069
    Abstract: An ampoule breaker comprises a body member capable of being held in a person's hand and having a hollow end portion constructed of flexible, resilient material. The end portion has an open end adapted to receive an ampule head and is formed with slots extending axially from the open end. The slots permit the end portion to be compressed between a person's fingers so that an ampule head located in the end portion can be firmly held therein and broken off by manipulation of the breaker. The slots comprise two generally V-shaped slots located on diametrically opposite sides of the end portion with the narrow end of each slot being disposed away from the open end. At least the end portion is made of cut-resistant flexible plastic.
