Patent number: 10588327Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of aerated water-in-oil emulsions containing sucrose fatty acid esters. The invention further relates to aerated water-in-oil emulsions containing sucrose fatty acid esters, and to use of the composition for shallow flying and baking of food products. The method comprises a step wherein an oil is mixed with sucrose fatty acid ester, followed by aeration of this mixture. The obtained foamed oil is mixed with a water-in-oil emulsion.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2016Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: CONOPCO, INC.Inventors: Deborah Lynne Aldred, Arjen Bot, Penelope Eileen Knight, Jinfeng Peng, Jan Alders Wieringa, Qingguo Xu, Shiping Zhu

Publication number: 20180168186Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous composition in liquid form, which contains oil, milk protein, monosaccharides, disaccharides, and/or oligosaccharides, one or more emulsifiers, and a combination of water-insoluble cellulose-based fibres and one or more water-soluble hydrocolloids. The composition may be aerated, and may be used to be frozen quiescently to prepare a frozen confection. The invention also provides a method for preparation of the composition of the invention, and a method for freezing the aerated composition of the invention. The liquid composition can be distributed at temperatures above 0° C., and frozen at the point of use prior to consumption, such that much energy is saved as compared to distribution of frozen confections at temperatures below 0° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2015Publication date: June 21, 2018Applicant: Conopco, Inc., d/b/a UNILEVERInventors: Nicholas David HEDGES, David John JUDGE, Penelope Eileen KNIGHT, Loyd WIX

Publication number: 20170332662Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous composition in liquid form, which contains oil, milk protein, monosaccharides, disaccharides, and/or oligosaccharides, a hydrocolloid and one or more emulsifiers comprising organic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. The composition may be aerated, and may be used to be frozen quiescently to prepare a frozen confection. The invention also provides a method for preparation of the composition of the invention, and a method for freezing the acrated composition of the invention. The liquid composition can be distributed at temperatures above 0° C., and frozen at the point of use prior to consumption, such that much energy is saved as compared to distribution of frozen confections at temperatures below 0° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2015Publication date: November 23, 2017Applicant: Conopco, Inc., d/b/a UNILEVERInventors: David John JUDGE, Penelope Eileen KNIGHT, Loyd WIX

Patent number: 8328881Abstract: This invention relates to a permanent dye for coloring keratinous fibers comprising: (a) A solution of iron (II) or iron (III) salt; (b) A solution of an aqueous extract of Terminalia chebula and (c) A solution of at least one color developer selected from the group consisting of a polyphenol and polyphenol derivatives or mixture thereof. A method of coloring keratinous fibers using the permanent dye is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2010Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Penelope Eileen Knight, Richard Awerkwei Quartey

Publication number: 20120138079Abstract: This invention relates to a permanent dye for colouring keratinous fibres, in particular one based on the extract of Terminalia chebula, also known as Black Myrobalan or Chebulic Myrobalan, a 30 metres tall evergreen tree native to southern Asia from India/Nepal to southwestern China to Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Vietnam bearing 2 to 4.5 cm long dark drupe-like fruit with longitudinal ridges. Non-permanent hair colour comprises either active species which are larger than 10 Angstroms and can only coat the hair shaft rather than diffuse through the pores into the hair shaft or active species which are not larger than 10 Angstroms and can diffuse through the pores into the hair shaft but once within the hair shaft are able to react or associate with either another species to form a product larger than 10 Angstroms or the internal surface of the hair shaft and thereby to become trapped within the hair shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2010Publication date: June 7, 2012Inventors: Penelope Eileen Knight, Richard Awerkwei Quartey
