  • Oil-in-water emulsion and its use for the delivery of functionality
    Patent number: 8513311
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an oil-in-water emulsion wherein the oil droplets of a diameter in the range of 5 nm to hundreds of micrometers exhibit a nano-sized self-assembled structurization with hydrophilic domains having a diameter size in the range of 0.5 to 200 nm, due to the presence of a lipophilic additive and the oil-in-water emulsion contains an active element being present in the range comprised between 0.00001 and 79% based on the total composition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2006
    Date of Patent: August 20, 2013
    Assignee: Nestec S.A.
    Inventors: Laurent Sagalowicz, Martin Leser, Martin Michel, Heribert Johann Watzke, Simone Acquistapace, Raymond Bertholet, Birgit Holst, Fabien Robert
  • Oil-in-water emulsion for delivery

  • COMPOSITION FOR CONTROLLING LIPASE CATALYZED REACTIONS
    Publication number: 20110129504
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of lipolysis mediated by lipases. In particular the present invention relates to the modulation of lipase activity by regulation of the composition of the interface between a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic phase. More particularly the present invention relates to a the use of a formulation comprising at least one surfactant with an interfacial pressure that is sufficiently high to control the access of lipase substrates to the interface between a lipophilic phase and a hydrophilic phase to regulate lipolysis and to a composition comprising at least one oil and enriched with at least one surfactant wherein the surfactant is non-cleavable by at least one lipase, has a higher affinity to the interface between the hydrophilic and lipophilic phase than the at least one lipid and is present in a weight ratio to the at least one lipid of about 1:1000-100:1.
