Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for individualizing trichome fibers from a trichome source, such as a leaf and/or a stem. One process comprises contacting the plant biomass with pectin hydrolyzing enzymes, thus releasing the individualized trichomes and recovering the individualized trichomes. A second process comprises contacting the plant biomass with an acidic aqueous solution, thus releasing the individualized trichomes and recovering the individualized trichomes. A third process comprises contacting the plant biomass with an acidic aqueous solution and with pectin hydrolyzing enzymes, thus releasing the individualized trichomes and recovering the individualized trichomes.

Abstract: A method of making nicotinamide riboside, nicotinamide riboside derivatives, or mixtures thereof is disclosed. The method involves contacting at least the following materials to form a solution: i) ?-D-ribose-1-phosphate, ?-D-ribose-1-phosphate derivatives, or mixtures thereof; ii) nicotinamide, nicotinamide derivatives, or mixtures thereof; iii) one or more pentosyl transferases (E.C. 2.4.2); iv) and one or more solvents. The resulting solution comprises nicotinamide riboside, nicotinamide riboside derivatives, or mixtures thereof and one or more inorganic orthophosphate anions. The inorganic orthophosphate anions are removed from the solution, leaving a solution of nicotinamide riboside, nicotinamide riboside derivatives, or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The invention is directed to mixtures comprising C10-C13 alkylphenyl sulfonates having alkyl groups in a particular distribution (e.g., bimodal, peaked, and skewed). These C10-C13 alkylphenyl sulfonates are optionally renewable and unexpectedly provide superior results when used in consumer product cleaning and personal care compositions (e.g., dishcare, laundry, hard surface cleaners, shampoos, conditioners, and soaps). The invention is further directed to a method of making a mixture of partially or wholly renewable C10-C13 alkylphenyl sulfonates having a particular alkyl group distribution.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel mixtures of scattered-branched chain fatty acids and derivatives of scattered-branched chain fatty acids. Further disclosed are uses of these mixtures in cleaning compositions (e.g., dishcare, laundry, hard surface cleaners) and/or personal care compositions (e.g., skin cleansers, shampoo, hair conditioners).

Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel mixtures of near terminal-branched compounds and derivatives thereof. Further disclosed are methods of making these mixtures, and uses of these mixtures in cleaning compositions (e.g., dishcare, laundry, hard surface cleaners,) and/or personal care compositions (e.g., skin cleansers, shampoo, hair conditioners).

Abstract: Method of cleansing hair comprising: (a) applying a composition to the hair; (b) dissolving and lathering the composition using a water-based solvent; (c) rinsing the hair with a water-based solvent; wherein during the rinsing a total of about 100 gram to about 300 gram of water-based solvent per gram of hair (dry weight) is employed; wherein the composition comprises from about 3 wt % to about 35 wt % of a mixture of at least two compounds of Formula I.

Abstract: This invention relates to microorganisms that convert a carbon source to acrylate or other desirable products using propionyl-CoA as an intermediate. The invention provides genetically engineered microorganisms that carry out the conversion, as well as methods for producing acrylate by culturing the microorganisms. Also provided are microorganisms and methods for converting propionyl-CoA and propionate to 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA, 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HP) and poly-3-hydroxypropionate.
