The invention relates to a hair smoothing agent characterized by a content of sodium silicate.

Hair relaxer

Disclosed is an improved process for the production of fatty acid lower alkyl esters according to formula (I)RCO&#x2014;OR&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)in which RCO represents a linear or branched acyl moiety having from about 6 to about 22 carbon atoms and 0 to 6 double bonds and wherein Ris a linear or branched alkyl moiety having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, by transesterification of triglycerides or fatty acid esters using C-Caliphatic alcohols, which includes the steps of The products thus obtained are particularly useful as components of the fuel known as biodiesel.

Process for the production of fatty acid alkyl esters

The present invention pertains to a method for the efficient production of carotenoids. In particular, the present invention is directed to a method for producing carotenoid and carotenoid-containing cells, especially astaxanthin and astaxanthin-containing cells, by generating mutant microorganisms belonging to the photoautotrophic algae of the Class Chlorophyceae and culturing same. The present invention further relates to methods of generating microorganisms producing high yields of carotenoids, in particular astaxanthin, products containing said microorganisms or said carotenoids, and the use of said carotenoids produced by the microorganisms according to the present invention and deposited mutant strains generated from said microorganisms.

A process of obtaining lutein in a high yield from green algae is described. Lutein and lutein-enriched products obtained by the process, which are suitable for use as dietary supplements and/or food additives, or cosmetic or pharmaceutical raw materials, are also described.

Process for obtaining lutein from algae

A reaction medium for enzyme-catalyzed reactions is provided, comprising an oil-in-water emulsion including water, an emulsifier, an oil phase and at least one interfacially active enzyme, where the emulsion is produced by the phase inversion temperature process and has a droplet size of 50 to 400 nm. A method for the enzyme-catalyzed esterification, transesterification or hydrolysis of fatty acid alkyl esters and/or triglycerides is also provided where the oil-in-water emulsion is used as the reaction medium.

The present invention relates to a composition for coloring keratin fibers containing at least one dye precursor and a choline-based oxidase system. The present invention also relates to a process for coloring keratin containing fibers using the composition of the present invention.

Colouring agents with enzymes

A mutated subtilisin-type protease that bears at least one mutation in its amino-acid sequence that causes the positive charge to be reduced or the negative charge to be increased in the substrate binding region of the molecule is used in cosmetic products. Such proteases show a surprisingly low skin and mucous membrane irritating potential.

Use of mutated subtilisin protease in cosmetic products

A bleaching composition is presented having a) an enzyme which produces hydrogen peroxide from atmospheric oxygen, b) a substrate for said enzyme, and c) a transition metal compound, where the enzyme is covalently bound to the transition metal compound. The bleaching composition is useful in disinfectants and laundry detergents as a bleaching component and for inhibiting the transfer of dyes.

Bleaching system

A detergent or disinfectant composition comprising is presented having 0.5 to 10 percent by weight of an activator compound which under perhydrolysis conditions forms a percarboxylic acid, and releases a leaving group capable of being used as a substrate for enzymes, and up to 50 percent by weight of a peroxygen compound. The composition increases the oxidation of peroxide compounds in oxidation, bleaching, detergent, cleaning and disinfecting solutions, especially at low temperatures.

Activators for peroxide compounds in detergents and cleaning agents

A bleaching detergent composition comprising an enzyme having amino alcohol oxidase activity, a substrate for said enzyme, and a bleach catalyst or activator, a method of bleaching fabric stains with an enzymatic bleaching system comprising an enzyme having amino alcohol oxidase activity and a substrate for said enzyme, and a method of reducing dye transfer in a wash liquor by providing the liquor with an effective amount of an enzymatic bleaching system comprising an enzyme having amino alcohol oxidase activity and a substrate for said enzyme.
