Abstract: A co-salt of a polyunsaturated fatty acid and a non-fatty acid is formed as a precipitate. The co-salt formed is free flowing and does not tend to agglomerate (cake) in storage. The resultant co-salt product will be easy to blend with other products to produce dietary supplements. These novel co-salt products may also tablet very well and may be added to current dietary supplement tablets.

Abstract: A packaging system and method is provided which will substantially retard or reduce the caking of powdered, crystalline, or granular organic and inorganic cakable chemical compounds and mixtures thereof. Such retardation and reduction in caking enhances the free flowability and scoopability of the compound. The packaging system and method comprises a moisture impermeable container, a moisture impermeable cover which closes the container, providing a moisture tight seal between the container and cover such as with a gasket, and desiccant. The compound can be placed directly into the container or into a moisture permeable bag which is sealed after the compound has been placed therein. The bag is filled or sized so that there will be a void space in the container once the container is closed. The desiccant is placed in the void space. The drum may be a fiber board drum having a moisture impermeable liner, such as an aluminum liner. The cover is preferably a plastic cover.

Abstract: Diaminodiphenyl ethers (DADPE's) are prepared by refluxing sodium or potassium aminophenate with chloronitrobenzene in dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture is hydrogenated directly without isolating the resulting intermediate product, aminophenyl-nitrophenyl ether, to form the corresponding DADPE, e.g., oxydianiline (ODA). The DADPE is crystallized from the hydrogenated reaction mixture in the presence of an aliphatic alcohol, which may be added to the reaction mixture prior to, during, or after hydrogenation. The resulting crystallized DADPE is typically of high purity and excellent color.
