Diesters of glycolic acid are effective yarn lubricants for use in the textile industry. These compounds also inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi.

Fatty glycolic acid derivatives as yarn lubricants and as antimicrobial

The antimicrobial compound, bis(carbomethoxymethyl) adipate is disclosed. It was prepared by condensing the methyl ester of glycolic acid and the acid chloride of adipic acid. Tests for antimicrobial activity exhibit potent antimicrobial activity against molds, yeasts, and gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Antimicrobial compound bis (carbomethoxymethyl) adipate

A process for using glycolic acid derivatives to control antimicrobial activity is disclosed. The process comprises: Contacting a microbe with an antimicrobial composition containing, as its active ingredient, a member selected from the group consisting of N,N-bis(pelargonoyloxyethyl)pelargonoyloxyacetamide, N,N-bis(lauroyloxyethyl)lauroyloxyacetamide, N,N-bis (oleoyloxyethyl)oleoyloxyacetamide, N,N-bis(trimethylacetyloxyethyl)trimethylacetylacetamide, carboethoxymethyl hydrocinnamate, and bis(carbomethoxymethyl) adipate.

Process for controlling antimicrobial activity using glycolic acid

Esters and mixed ester-amides derived from glycolic acid by substitution at the hydroxyl and carboxyl functions were prepared by conventional procedures and tested for antimicrobial activity. All of the compounds tested showed some inhibition against four microorganisms under the test conditions, and some of them had potent activity. These new compounds have properties which make it possible for them to be used as biostatic agents in commercial products.

Procedures are described for obtaining about 80% of the high-grade protein in pearl millet grain as a concentrate. These procedures involve extraction of lipid-free whole millet flour with a combination of 70% aqueous isopropyl alcohol, aqueoussodium hydroxide, and dilute mineral acid to give three protein-rich fractions, which can be combined for optimum use as a protein concentrate.

New mixed esters of diols having one hydroxyl group esterified with benzoic acid and the other esterified with various saturated or unsaturated aliphatic acids or aromatic acids other than benzoic are found to have antimicrobial activity against several pathogenic microorganisms, and to have properties making them useful as antimicrobial agents.

2-(2-Benzoxyethoxy)-ethyl-2-furoate

New ester-amides containing one or more long chain fatty acyl groupings are described which have antimicrobial activity against several pathogenic microorganisms, and have properties making them useful as antimicrobial agents.

N-(furoyloxyethyl) fatty acid amides

New quaternary ammonium salts have been prepared from an amino amide and an amino ester and found to be useful in hair cream rinse formulations.
