Patent number: 11957772Abstract: There is provided a petrolatum substitute. The petrolatum substitute preparation comprises 1-20 wt % of at least one oil thickening agent, 7-40 wt % of at least one structuring agent, 0.5-10 wt % of at least one phytosterol or ester thereof, and 30-92 wt % of at least one emollient, wherein the preparation has a melting point of 35° C. or more. The petrolatum substitute preparation can be used in essentially all applications where petrolatum is used today. The substitute can be made renewable and the use of over-exploited natural products is minimized. The preparation is less irritant and has excellent moisture barrier properties when applied to human skin. Further it is less energy consuming to manufacture.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: AAK AB (publ)Inventors: Jari Alander, Staffan Norberg, Mette Skovgaard, Martin Johansson

Patent number: 9809618Abstract: A new process for enriching triterpene esters comprising: providing a mixture comprising a non-distilled vegetable oil and/or a non-distilled vegetable fat, further comprising triterpene esters, performing a mild transesterification with a lower alcohol, removing lower alcohol esters by deodorization, physical refining, evaporation or distillation, and recovering the remaining fraction rich in triterpene esters. Triterpene esters enriched with the method as well as uses of the same are also provided. One advantage is that it is a more economically viable way of achieving higher concentration of triterpene esters. There is both the chance to fully keep the natural distribution of triterpene esters but in the other end also to replace the natural level of cinnamic and acetic acids-triterpene esters with a high level of long fatty acid triterpene-esters.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: AAK ABInventors: Jari Alander, Staffan Norberg, Krister Hed
