Abstract: There are provided a metal soap which is useful as a food additive to be added to various foods for the purposes of improving a fluidity, an anti-bridging property, a low moisture absorption property and feel upon eating of foods, and has a less adverse influence on the foods, as well as a process for producing the metal soap. The metal soap for a food additive is constituted of a fatty acid calcium salt or a fatty acid magnesium salt having 6 to 24 carbon atoms which is obtained by a double decomposition method, and a water dispersion containing the metal soap in an amount of 2% by mass exhibits a pH of not less than 6 but less than 7. The process for producing the metal soap for a food additive includes the steps of reacting 1 mol of a fatty acid having 6 to 24 carbon atoms with not less than 0.9 mol but less than 1 mol of a monovalent basic compound to obtain a fatty acid basic compound salt; and reacting the fatty acid basic compound salt with a calcium salt or a magnesium salt in an aqueous medium.

Abstract: The present invention provides a refrigeration lubricant composition that have necessary properties such as compatibility with a hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant, thermal stability, hydrolytic stability and low-temperature fluidity, and good lubricity, and has high stability under low temperature conditions so that crystals are prevented from being precipitated over a long term. The refrigeration lubricant includes an ester obtained from a mixed alcohol and a mixed carboxylic acid, wherein the mixed alcohol consists of 65 to 99.95 mol % of pentaerythritol and 0.05 to 35 mol % of dipentaerythritol, the mixed carboxylic acid consists of n-pentanoic acid, n-heptanoic acid, and isononanoic acid, the molar ratio of the n-pentanoic acid to the n-heptanoic acid is 0.3 or more and 10 or less, and the isononanoic acid is contained in the mixed carboxylic acid at a ratio of 10 mol % or more and 45 mol % or less.

Abstract: A refrigeration lubricant composition comprises an ester obtained from a mixed alcohol and a mixed carboxylic acid as a main component. The mixed alcohol comprises 65 to 99.95 mol % of pentaerythritol and 0.05 to 35 mol % of dipentaerythritol, the mixed carboxylic acid comprises 25 to 55 mol % of monocarboxylic acid having 5 to 8 carbon atoms and 45 to 75 mol % of isononanoic acid, and the composition has a hydroxyl value of 5.0 mgKOH/g or less and an acid value of 0.05 mgKOH/g or less.

Abstract: The present invention provides a snow melting composition containing tripotassium citrate (a) and a non-synthetic polyhydric alcohol (b), wherein the tripotassium citrate (a) is contained in a ratio of 20 to 75 wt % and the non-synthetic polyhydric alcohol (b) is contained in a ratio of 25 to 80 wt %, with respect to the total weight of the tripotassium citrate (a) and the non-synthetic polyhydric alcohol (b). The snow melting composition of the present invention provides an excellent snow melting effect, does not corrode metals, and furthermore has low odor characteristics and thus does not adversely affect organisms living in surrounding areas.
