Abstract: The present invention describes a means for fixing skin care ingredients on the surface of non-woven webs and cellulosic mats. The active ingredients can be released (deposited) onto the skin by normal triggering mechanisms, which include the action of water or urine or by friction or rubbing. The fixative systems described herein provide the ability to control high load levels while not interfering with the wettabliity of the fabric or paper. Additionally, incompatible/reactive ingredients can be treated onto the same web and are kept as separate particles fixed to the surface until released.

Abstract: An aqueous, light weight paper laminating adhesive comprising a continuous aqueous phase of from about 15 to 50% by weight of polysaccharide material dispersed in water, the continuous phase polysaccharide material having a zero-shear viscosity of greater than 0.07 Pa·s when measured at 26% (+/−1% solids) and a shear rate of 0.1s−1; a shear-thinning index of 0.90 to 1.1; and bleed time of greater than 15 seconds. Also disclosed is another adhesive composition, which is particularly useful in non-contact spay applications and comprises the continuous phase polysaccharide phase described above as well as a second component comprising a water swellable, insoluble polysaccharide particulate phase.

Abstract: Stable, cold water soluble, ready for use starch aldehyde compositions and the method of preparation of such compositions wherein an aqueous dispersion of a fluidity or converted starch acetal is hydrolyzed under acidic conditions to form the starch aldehyde which is then spray dried into a cold water soluble starch aldehyde powder.

Abstract: This invention involves skin cleaning products and tapes for removing keratotic plugs, dirt and other debris found on the skin and in skin pores and comprising a starch based remoistenable adhesive composition wherein the starch has from about 0 to 70% by weight amylose content and is converted to from about 30 WF to 20 DE.

Abstract: High solids maltodextrin syrups, some of which are useful as the base for remoistenable adhesives, are prepared by a high solids alpha amylase enzyme conversion process. They are characterized by their high solids content (at least 55 wt. %) and light color. A granular chemically derivatized, optionally converted, starch having a degree of substitution of greater than about 0.01 and less than about 0.5 is used as the starting material. The maltodextrins have a reducing sugar content of about 5-19 dextrose equivalent and a distinct polymodal molecular weight distribution. When a granular highly esterified starch (D.S. of 0.5-1.8) is used as the starting material in the high solids process, the resulting enzyme-converted, esterified maltodextrins are characterized by their improved water dispersibility.

Abstract: A high solids, enzyme conversion process for preparing an enzyme-converted starch is carried out by adding to a modified or unmodified starch, preferably a granular starch, water and an enzyme in an amount sufficient to produce a single phase powdered mixture without a visible free water phase. The enzyme is activated by heating while maintaining a substantially constant moisture content in the mixture. The enzyme converted starch is recovered as a syrup, a granular converted starch, or mixtures thereof, or as a powder obtained by drying the syrup.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to remoistenable and non-remoistenable adhesives which contain at least about 50 wt % of a maltodextrin syrup having a reducing sugar content of about 5-19 dextrose equivalent and solids content of about 60-80 % water, and an effective amount of other conventional adhesive additives. When the adhesive is a remoistenable adhesive, a chemically derivatized starch having an amylose content of 40 % or less and a D.S. of about 0.01 to less than about 0.50 is used. A preferred remoistenable adhesive also contains polyvinyl acetate and/or ethylene vinyl acetate in an amount from about 15-90 wt. % The maltodextrin syrup is prepared from a converted or a non-converted, chemically derivatized or underivatized granular starch, by a high solids, single phase enzyme conversion process. When derivatized, the maltodextrin has (i) substituents in an amount sufficient to provide a degree of substitution between greater than about 0.01 and less than about 0.50.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a high solids, water-based remoistenable adhesive consisting essentially of at least about 50% to less than 100% of a maltodextrin syrup having a solids content of about 60-80%, 0 to about 50% of water, and an effective amount of a preservative.

The maltodextrin has (i) substituents in an amount sufficient to provide a degree of substitution between greater than about 0.01 and less than about 0.50; (ii) a reducing sugar content of about 5-19 dextrose equivalent; and (iii) a polymodal molecular weight distribution having one peak between about 630-1600 daltons and at least one other peak between about 1600-2,500,000 daltons.

Abstract: A continuous coupled jet-cooking/spray-drying process for processing or co-processing inherently water-dispersible or water-soluble crystalline polymers, such as starches, starch mixtures, gums (e.g., locust bean gum, carrageenan, agar), viscosifying proteins (e.g., gelatin), starch-gum mixtures, and fully hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohols, is disclosed. The process involves the steps of: (a) forming a slurry or paste of the polymer and water, (b) jet-cooking the slurry or paste with steam at a temperature sufficient to fully disperse or solubilize the polymer, (c) immediately conveying and introducing, under elevated temperature and pressure, the jet-cooked dispersion or solution into a nozzle of a spray-dryer chamber, (d) atomizing the jet-cooked dispersion or solution through the nozzle, (e) drying the atomized mist within the spray-dryer chamber at a temperature sufficient to dry the polymer; and (f) recovering the dried polymer as a water-dispersible or water-soluble powder.
