Abstract: A textile product having arginine impared thereto; a process for producing the product; and a method for the pretreatment of a textile product. The textile product compensates for the water-retaining function of the horny layer and enhances metabolism. It hence has the effect of keeping the skin normal.

Abstract: A crystal of an N-long-chain acylglycine salt represented by the formula (I): wherein R represents a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group having 7-21 carbon atoms; M represents an alkali metal or a basic amino acid, which produces diffraction peaks at positions of at least two diffraction angles (2?±0.3°) selected from among 24.1°, 25.5°, 28.1° and 40.5° in powder X-ray diffraction analysis using Cu—K? rays. The crystal of the N-long-chain acylglycine salt of the present invention is superior in the ease of handling, dissolution property and dispersibility in water.

Abstract: A method for preparing a highly purified N-long chain acyl neutral amino acid for use of a detergent and the like in a simple and convenient manner and in a high yield by reacting a neutral amino acid such as glycine, &ggr;-aminobutyric acid, and alanine, with a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid halide having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, wherein the reaction is performed in a mixture of water and one or more kinds of hydrophilic organic solvents selected from the group consisting of acetone, acetonitrile, a secondary alcohol having 3 or 4 carbon atoms, and a tertiary alcohol having 4 carbon atoms such as isopropanol, sec-butanol, and tert-butanol in the presence of a base.

Abstract: A ruminant feed additive composition containing (A) lysine magnesium phosphate, (B) magnesium oxide, (C) a binder and (D) water, said water content being between 5 and 15% by weight, and processes for producing the composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to biologically active substances coated with a coating composition containing at least one substance selected from the group consisting of hardened vegetable fats and oils, hardened animal fats and oils, fatty acid esters and phospholipids and an enzyme and/or enzyme activator where the outermost surface portion of the coating layer contains substantially no enzyme and/or enzyme activator. The invention materials exhibit excellent protection in the rumen of ruminant animals and allow for the dissolution in the post-abomasum lower digestive organs of the ruminant.

Abstract: A ruminant feed additive composition in the form of a powder or granules comprises as active ingredients a gastric antacid, a phosphoric acid-amino acid-polyvalent metal composite salt and optionally a water-insoluble salt of a polyvalent metal-sensitive water-soluble high-molecular weight substance. The phosphoric acid-amino acid-polyvalent metal composite salt is composed of a phosphoric acid such as orthophosphoric acid, a polyphosphoric acid or a metaphosphoric acid, a basic amino acid such as lysine or methionine, an alkaline earth metal such as calcium or magnesium and, optionally, a polyvalent metal such as aluminum.

Abstract: A granular additive composition for ruminant feed which stably protects a biologically active substance in the rumen of the ruminant and allows it to be effectively digested and absorbed in the digestive organs after the abomasum.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composite sheet for reproducible electrostatic image display or record comprising,a semiconductor film containing an electroconductive filler and having a uniform surface resistivity of a range of 10.sup.3 to 10.sup.10 106 /.quadrature. anda highly dielectric film having a specific dielectric constant of not less than 5, laminated with the semiconductor film.

Abstract: A stabilized halogen-containing resin composition which comprises (A) a halogen-containing resin, (B) at least one of methionine derivatives selected from the group consisting of compounds having the following structural formula (I) to (III) ##STR1## and (C) at least one of stabilizers selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metal, zinc and organo tin compounds.

Abstract: A molten material is prepared by heating a mixture of (A) a polyhydric alcohol containing a neopentyl structure such as pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol or tripentaerythritol which is less compatible with a halogen-containing resin and (B) a partial ester of said polyhydric alcohol and a carboxyl group-containing compound which has good compatibility with the halogen-containing resin to the molten state. The molten material functions as a stabilizer assistant which markedly increases the thermal stabilizing effect of divalent metal stabilizers for the halogen-containing resin.
