Abstract: Surface treating and/or modifying compositions, for example cosmetic or pharmaceutical or plant protective compositions or domestic care compositions comprise a guar protein extract, or derivative thereof, such guar protein extract comprising at least 65% by weight of proteins and are particularly suitable as surface treating and/or modifying agents, wherein these surfaces are, for example, the skin, hairs, domestic care and textile surfaces and plant leaf surfaces.

Abstract: A variety of products are obtained from modified guar protein extracts, for example, cosmetic or pharmacological or plant protective compositions or domestic care agents containing such products; these are particularly suitable for treating and/or modifying and/or coating the skin, hair, hard and textile surfaces and, notably, plant leaf surfaces.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods relating to monitoring the processing of polysaccharides and, in particular, monitoring the processing of guar in order to improve guar yield and/or lower impurity concentration in the wash effluent fluid.

Abstract: Modified and insoluble starches are utilized for eliminating natural organic substances/contaminants from liquids and in particular from liquids used for food applications, such as drinking water, beverages, fruit juices or syrups, as well as natural water, industrial process water, or wastewater.

Abstract: Water contaminated with anions of heavy metals, e.g., arsenic values, is purified by contacting same with a composition containing at least one polysaccharide, such as starches or vegetable gums.

Abstract: This invention relates to water-soluble polysaccharide-based products that require less time and effort to incorporate into aqueous formulations, compared to existing polysaccharide products. This invention can be applied more particularly to cationic guar products to be used in cosmetic compositions. The product is in the form of granules and comprises a binding and/or dispersing agent and/or wetting agent.

Abstract: Unwanted natural and synthetic organic impurities are removed from liquid media contaminated therewith, e.g., liquids and beverages intended for human consumption, or industrial/wastewaters, by introducing into such media a thus effective amount of an optionally modified/insoluble cationic vegetable gum containing one or more cationic or cationizable substituents, maintaining the cationic vegetable gum in such liquid medium until the organic impurities are sorbed thereon, and thence recovering the vegetable gum/sorbed impurities therefrom, whereby purifying the liquid medium.
