Abstract: A cleaning composition containing an alkoxylated polyalkyleneimine and a sulfonate group-containing copolymer is provided, which exhibits significant improved whiteness maintenance benefit when used to treat fabrics.

Abstract: Spherical base granules comprising a hardly water-soluble drug and suited for film coating thereon are produced by layering spherical core particles with a drug-containing layering liquid comprising both micronized microcrystalline cellulose and an emulsifier therein and therefore having improved suspension stability.

Abstract: Provided is a process for producing spherical base granules comprising a easily water-soluble drug and suited for film coating by spraying a layering liquid over pharmaceutically inert spherical core particles, thereby coating the particles with a layer comprising the easily water-soluble drug, wherein (1) the spherical core particles have a microcrystalline cellulose content of 30 mass % or greater and a water absorbing capacity of 0.5 cm3/g or greater; and (2) the layering liquid is an aqueous solution comprising at least the easily water-soluble drug and a low water-soluble saccharide.

Abstract: The characteristic in being coated with film of spherical elementary granules is improved by adjusting a short/long diameter-ratio distribution coefficient to a specific value.

Abstract: The yeast cell wall fraction comprising cell residues obtained by removing internal soluble components from enzyme-treated yeast, or cell residues obtained by treating the cell residues with acid solution and removing the acid solution-soluble components. By decolorizing the residues with a decolorizing agent, the decolorized yeast cell wall fractions to which excellent physical properties are added, are obtained without impairing the excellent properties of the yeast cell wall fractions before the decolorization. The decolorized yeast cell wall fractions of the present invention have a white color and retain the merit of the yeast cell wall fractions before the decolorization for the use as a coating agent. Further, excellent properties such as the mechanical properties of the yeast cell wall fractions being enhanced and the yeast odor being decreased, are added to the decolorized yeast cell wall fractions.
