Abstract: An oral care composition comprising a stannous ion source and/or a zinc ion source; a phytic acid or a phytic acid salt or mixtures thereof; characterized in that the phytic acid or phytic acid salt has an average IPn of greater than 5.2. In a composition which comprises stannous, there is a decrease in soluble stannous whilst maintaining an equivalent efficacy to a composition comprising a higher level of soluble stannous and efficacy is observed for avoiding stain and astringency problems. When zinc ions are present, it has been surprisingly found that a decrease in soluble zinc can provide an equivalent antimicrobial efficacy to a composition comprising a greater level of soluble zinc.

Abstract: There is provided herein a process for purifying bisphosphate comprising solvating a molten bisphosphate in a mixture of water and water miscible solvent; cooling the solution over a period and to a temperature that provides for crystallization of solid product; increasing the pH of the solution prior to, and/or during, and/or after the initiation of crystallization, and/or after crystallization, by the addition of a base; and after crystallization is complete, separating solid product from the solution; washing the separated solid product in the same and/or different mixture of water and water miscible solvent; and, washing the solid product which has been washed in the mixture with water.

Abstract: Neopentyl glycol bis(diphenyl phosphate) liquid compositions are described that comprise from about 75% to about 90%, by weight, of neopentyl glycol bis(diphenyl phosphate), less than about 5% by weight of cyclic product, less than about 8% by weight of triphenyl phosphate, and with a P3 content of no less than about 1%, by weight. These compositions are made by continuously adding neopentyl glycol to a diaryl chlorophosphate mixture at elevated temperature, under vacuum, and in the presence of a catalyst.

The phosphate ester is of the formula: where R can be aryl or alkaryl, R′ can be arylene, arylene-alkylene-arylene, or alkylene, and n ranges from about 1 to about 5.

Abstract: A method of purifying an organic phosphoric ester characterized by treating a crude organic phosphoric ester with an epoxy compound and treating the treated organic phosphoric ester with an alkaline aqueous solution to purify it. The purification method is effective in stably obtaining an organic phosphoric ester reduced in acid value and excellent in heat resistance, hydrolytic resistance, and storage stability, regardless of the kind or amount of the organic phosphoric ester, the treating conditions, etc.

Abstract: The process for producing a low acid value phosphoric ester of the present invention is characterized by comprising treating a phosphoric ester having an acid value with an organic ortho-acid ester. The phosphoric ester preferably has a specific structure. The organic ortho-acid ester is preferably an ester of orthoformic acid, orthoacetic acid or orthopropionic acid with an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A method of pulverizing aromatic phosphates which comprises stressing an oily product of an aromatic phosphate having a purity of 90% or more at a temperature lower by 5.degree. to 100.degree. C. than a melting point of the aromatic phosphate in a temperature-controllable kneader to solidify and pulverize the aromatic phosphate.According to the present invention, aromatic phosphates industrially obtained are able to be solidified and pulverized in a short time in a simple way without being subjected to specific purification. Further, the invention is industrially advantageous in that the solidification and pulverization can be performed successively after production of the aromatic phosphate.

Abstract: A process for purifying a phosphoric ester, which comprises treating a crude phosphoric ester with an epoxy compound, heating the resultant in the presence of water, washing the resultant with water, and removing the residual water. The obtained phosphoric esters have low acid value and are excellent in physical properties such as heat resistance, resistance to hydrolysis and storage stability, and are useful as plasticizers and/or flame-retardants.

Abstract: Described is a process for recovering phytic acid or phytic acid salt from a medium in which it is contained. This process includes contacting the medium with a solid-phase free base polymer having tertiary amine functions to adsorb the phytic acid or salt thereof. In one preferred mode, the medium to be treated also contains lactic acid, and separate fractions predominant in (i) lactic acid and (ii) phytic acid or phytic acid salt, respectively, are recovered. Also described are preferred processes for treating mediums to recover lactic acid therefrom, and a favored process for obtaining inositol directly by hydrolyzing phytic acid or phytic acid salt while adsorbed on a pyridine-containing polymer.

Abstract: A novel process for the removal of phytate from protein using ion exchange has been developed. The process involves the upflow passage of a protein slurry at an elevated temperature through a strong base anion exchanger in the chloride form. The weak base anion sites inherent to the resin have been converted to the free base form. The anion exchange material can easily be regenerated. The process can be used on-line, yields phytate removal of greater than 90%, has high (greater than 90%) protein recovery, is cost-effective, and is environmentally friendly.
