Publication number: 20160106663Abstract: This invention relates to an improved crystallization process of hydrogenated castor oil structurant which results in (i) a dispersion having a high concentration of the structurant, and (ii) a crystal habit/form that results in a higher yield stress in the final product, imparting high stability, for a given amount structurant. In addition, the resulting personal care product is consumer desired, as less structurant residue is observed on hair after the use of the personal care product.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2015Publication date: April 21, 2016Inventor: Timothy Charles Gulbin

Publication number: 20160106667Abstract: Drug delivery devices comprising a non-bioabsorbable polymer structure configured to support a composition comprising an active agent. The devices include a plurality of portions fused together and a recess configured to support the composition. At least one of the portions includes an impermeable polymer and at least one other portion includes a rate-limiting water-permeable polymer. The rate-limiting water-permeable polymer allows for transportation of the active agent to an exterior of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2015Publication date: April 21, 2016Inventors: Casey Kopczynski, Cheng-Wen Lin, Chris Sutay

Publication number: 20160106668Abstract: A method is provided to promote secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK) by administering an active component. The active component includes acrylic acid and/or an unsaturated aldehyde having a main chain of 4 to 12 carbon atoms having a double bond in at least position 2 or 4, where the main chain has 4 to 9 carbon atoms when there is a double bond in only position 2, and the main chain has 9 to 12 carbon atoms when there is a double bond in only position 4. The cholecystokinin secretion-promoting composition can be used as an appetite suppressant. By adding this cholecystokinin secretion-promoting composition to food, appetite-suppressing food products can be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2015Publication date: April 21, 2016Inventors: Hiroshi HARA, Tohru HIRA, Chigusa NISHIYAMA, Noriko TOKURA, Takatoshi YAMASHITA, Jun IMAGI
