  • Emulsifying compositions containing a mixture of hydrolyzed and unhydrolyzed fractions and process for making same
    Patent number: 5079028
    Abstract: A surface-active composition is provided which comprises phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, wherein at least 3 wt. % of the phosphatide is lysophosphatidylethanolamine and wherein the hydrolysis ratio of the degree of hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine and the degree of hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine is higher than 1.7. The composition is particularly suitable for use as emulsifying agent in edible fat-containing products, especially as anti-spattering agent in, for example, margarine. The surface-active composition can be suitably prepared by fractionating vegetable lecithin with, for example, a lower alcohol, partially hydrolyzing the insoluble fraction and recombining the partially hydrolyzed insoluble fraction with the alcohol-soluble fraction.

  • Fabric treatment materials
    Patent number: 4137180
    Abstract: Fabric softening is provided by cationic diesters of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are each an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a benzyl group, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are each alkyl chains containing from 11 to 23 carbon atoms, and X.sup.- is a water soluble anion. Mixtures of these diesters with the corresponding monoesters are described together with preparative methods.
