Abstract: A method for obtaining an oil that is rich in hydroxyoctadecadienoic(HODE) fatty acids or the esters thereof. According to the inventive method, controlled oxidation of the linoleic acid and/or the linolenic acid or the esters thereof is performed in the presence of an oxidation catalyst. The oxidation is terminated when the HODE content or total ester content is more than 5 % and/or the 9-hydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic(9-HODE) acid isomer or ester content is more than 1.5 % and reduction occurs for the hydroperoxides formed during the oxidation reaction by a reducer. The invention can be used as a medicament, food supplement or cosmetic.

Abstract: A ready for use insecticidal collar for animals, formed by a strip comprising an element containing an insecticidal substance and a casing which surrounds the element, wherein the element comprises a support material impregnated with the insecticidal substance in solution.

Abstract: The novel derivatives correspond to the general formula II: ##STR1## in which: R.sub.1 R.sub.2 R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent identical or different groups which can each be a hydrogen or halogen atom or an alkyl group, alkoxy, or benzyloxy group and R is the residue of an R--CHO aldehyde selected from among linear or branched saturated aliphatic aldehydes including 1 to 4 carbon atoms or again represents the Z--CH.dbd.CH radical in which Z represents a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched saturated alkyl group, an aromatic nucleus or an aromatic heterocyclic nucleus or again R represents the radical HO CH.sub.2 (CH OH)n--in which n has the value of 3 or 4. The novel compounds have high solubility in water and antibacterial activity and potentiating power.
