  • Stable, optically clear compositions
    Patent number: 6509044
    Abstract: A process for preparing an aqueous composition for the preparation of optically clear products, especially beverages, having enhanced stability in syrup and bioavailability for human or animal healthcare. The compositions include an oil soluble ingredient and a primary and a secondary surfactant which match the fatty acid profile of the oil soluble ingredient and follow specific ratios of oil soluble ingredient to emulsifier and specific ratios of primary to cosurfactant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 2, 2001
    Date of Patent: January 21, 2003
    Assignee: SmithKline Beecham p.l.c.
    Inventors: Maarten Van Den Braak, Andrew Symonds, Michael Anthony Ford
  • Novel compostion and process
    Publication number: 20020114830
    Abstract: Essentially non-aqueous compositions suitable for oral administration comprising a biologically active oil, or a biologically active oil or an oil-soluble ingredient as a dispersion in a suitable carrier oil, dispersed in a physiologically acceptable emulsifier or emulsifier mixture having an HLB (hydrophilic/lipophilic balance) value of between 10 and 18 and encapsulated in a capsule material that is soluble in gastric juice, their production and use in the maintenance and/or promotion of health.
