Abstract: Film-forming compositions for soft capsule formation have from 2 to 20 percent by weight of a mixture of hydroxyalkylated plant starch and a plant sugar, from 15 to 25 percent by weight agar, no more than 5 percent by weight gelatin, no more than 1 percent by weight carrageenan, and water as the balance thereof. Soft capsules made from such a film-forming composition and methods of making the same are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to film-forming compositions and capsules formed from such compositions, including processes for using such compositions to make capsules. In some embodiments, the film-forming compositions are free of animal products and carrageenan.

Abstract: A paintball includes first and second half shell portions, each with a recess that can hold liquid containing dyes or other marking pigments. The liquid in the second half shell portion is relatively viscous, or becomes so after being placed in the second shell portion. The second shell portion can then be inverted and the liquid will stay within it. Neither shell portion includes a barrier to hold the liquids in place. The second half shell portion can then be placed on and joined with the first half shell portion to form a paintball.

Abstract: A Bioluminescent Paintball 10 includes a shell 12 defining an interior cavity 14, a liquefied substance 16 disposed within the interior cavity 14, a phosphorescent material 18 disbursed throughout the shell 12 for providing a visible “tracing” effect when the bioluminescent paintball 10 is ejected from a paintball discharge device, a neutralizing agent 20 disbursed throughout the liquefied substance 16 for neutralizing calcium disbursed throughout the liquefied substance 16 thereby preventing light emission before the paintball 10 impacts a target, and a photoprotein 22 disbursed throughout the liquefied substance 16 for reacting with calcium disposed upon a target after the bioluminescent paintball 10 impacts the target, thereby rupturing the shell 12 and allowing the liquefied substance 16 to engage the calcium to produce visible light.

Abstract: Disclosed are fill compositions suitable for carrying pigment and encapsulation within gelatin capsules comprising:(a) a polyoxyalkylene glycol having a mean molecular weight of from about 200-500;(b) glycerol;(c) water;(d) an oleaginous material;(e) a carboxylic copolymer; and(f) a neutralizing agent for the carboxylic polymer in an amount effective to neutralize at least about 75% of the carboxylic acid groups on the polymer. Also disclosed are gelatin capsules containing sych compositions and methods for preparing the fill compositions.

Abstract: A non-toxic, biodegradable sprayable liquid which is effective as a deodorizer and insect repellent for livestock and livestock enclosures consists of d-limonene, a surfactant, hexylene glycol, triethanolamine, and water.

Abstract: A graphic ink remover composition consisting of (A) dibasic ester, (2) dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate and (3) about 2 to 12 percent by weight of the composition of a surfactant that is cocamide DEA/dihexyl sodium sulfosuccinate.

Abstract: A liquid, non-aqueous cleaner composition that is well suited for removing finger nail polish, the composition comprising d-limonene, ethyl lactate, cetyl acetate, and optionally, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate.

Abstract: A non-aqueous composition for removing nail enamel from artificial nails, the composition containing d-limonene, methyl acetate cocamide DEA/dihexyl sodium sulfosuccinate and dimethicone copolyol.

Abstract: An auto body cleaning composition for removing tar and urethane adhesive from auto bodies, composition consisting of (A) d-limonene and (B) about 2 to 12 percent by weight of the composition of a surfactant that is cocamide DEA/dihexyl sodium sulfosuccinate. Another auto body cleaning composition comprises d-limonene, Sorbitan Monolaurate and mineral oil.
