Disclosed herein are improved methods for the manufacture of arginine-based dentifrice compositions comprising the use of a solution of arginine free base (e.g., L-arginine) in concentrated aqueous sorbitol solution.

Methods for manufacturing arginine dentifrice

Use of benzyl alcohol as a defoaming agent and an antimicrobial agent in an oral care composition including a surfactant. Also described is a method of manufacturing an oral care composition including forming an oral care base composition, subsequently combining the oral care base composition with a defoaming agent and at least one surfactant to form the oral care composition; and defoaming the oral care composition. The surfactant is combined with the oral care base composition no later than the defoaming agent. The defoaming agent is benzyl alcohol.

A method of determining the viability of a gum for use in making a product has been achieved by (a) mixing a sample of the gum in a solvent comprising one or more hydroxy moiety containing solvent compound to form a solution with the gum; (b) measuring the viscosity of the solution and comparing against a predetermined target viscosity for a product; and (c) comparing the viscosity of the solution and the predetermined target viscosity and discarding gum which is outside the predetermined target viscosity; and (d) using the gum which has a viscosity within the predetermined target to prepare a product; wherein another hydroxy moiety containing solvent is used if water is used as a solvent. Also described are compositions comprising the gum and solvent comprising one or more hydroxy moiety.
