The invention relates to an epilatory mixture comprising a fructan, preferably inulin. Furthermore, an epilatory composition is disclosed comprising said epilatory effective mixture. Also a method of use of said epilatory composition of the invention for the removal of unwanted hair from the skin is disclosed, as well as a method of use of said composition for carrying out an epilatory treatment which can be carried out by a professional person as well as by a non-professional person.

Fructan-based epilatory compositions

The Invention relates to a method for the preservation of natural rubber latex comprising the step of adding to natural latex at least one hydrophobically modified saccharide. The hydrophobically modified saccharide is preferably a hydrophobically modified fructan, a hydrophobically modified starch hydrolysate, or a mixture thereof. The invention further relates to a natural rubber latex containing a hydrophobically modified saccharide, and to vulcanized natural rubber products containing a hydrophobically modified saccharide.

Methods of making emulsions comprising: adding an emulsifying agent comprising glucoside alkyl urethanes of formula:A(O&#x2014;CO&#x2014;NH&#x2014;R),wherein A represents a glucosyl unit having a Dextrose Equivalent (D.E.) ranging from 1 to 47, and wherein R represents a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group containing from 3 to 22 carbon atoms, and s is the degree of substitution (DS) ranging from about 0.01 to about 2.0; to an aqueous based liquid and a dispersed product; followed by mixing to create a stable dispersion. The glucoside alkyl urethanes present properties of thermal and chemical stability with biodegradability and free of phosphor/phosphates. The glucoside alkyl urethanes are suitable as surfactants for use in household and industrial applications, e.g., as detergents, emulsifiers, emulsion stabilizers, foaming agents, foam stabilizers, dispersants and wetting agents.

Tensio-active glucoside urethanes

Disclosed are glucoside alkyl urethanes composed of units of the formula: A(O&#x2014;CO&#x2014;NH&#x2014;R)wherein A represents a glucosyl unit of a starch hydrolysate molecule, the starch hydrolysate having a Dextrose Equivalent (D.E.) ranging from 1 to 47, (O&#x2014;CO&#x2014;NH&#x2014;R) represents an N-alkyl aminocarbonyloxy group replacing a hydroxyl group of the glucosyl unit A, and wherein R represents a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group containing from 3 to 22 carbon atoms, and s represents the number of alkyl carbamate groups per glucosyl unit which number is expressed as degree of substitution (DS) with said DS value ranging from about 0.01 to about 2.0 which are useful as surface-active agents. Also disclosed are a method for their manufacture and compositions containing one or more glucoside alkyl urethanes. The glucoside alkyl urethanes have good to excellent tensio-active properties in combination with good biodegrability and they are suitable as surfactants for use in household and industrial applications, e.g., as detergents, emulsifiers, emulsion stabilisers, foaming agents, foam stabilisers, dispersants and wetting agents.

A method for preparing a polydispersed saccharide composition in which a fructan-containing material is dissolved in water prior to partial enzymatic treatment of the fructans.

Method for preparing a polydispersed saccharide composition and resulting polydispersed saccharide composition

The present invention concerns a new fractionated polydisperse carbohydrate composition having the following definition: an av. DP which is significantly higher than the av. DP of a native polydisperse carbohydrate composition, significantly free of low molecular monomers, dimmers, and oligomers, significantly free of impurities chosen among the group consisting of colourings, salts, proteins and organic acids, significantly free of technological aids such as solubility affecting products. The present invention concerns also the preparation process of the composition according to the invention.
