The invention discloses extruded detergent bars comprising benefit agent containing capsules wherein said capsules are strong enough to withstand extrusion process while still able to release benefit agent upon washing.

Extruded soap and/or detergent bar compositions comprising encapsulated benefit agent

The present invention relates to a process for preparing compositions or slurries containing edible surfactants (generally at low levels) or no surfactants at all using an NMR sensor designed to measure water or solids content of the composition on-line.

Process for accurately controlling moisture or solids levels of

The invention describes detergent bar compositions comprising liquid silicone compounds or emulsions of said compounds which are used in relatively small levels as processing aids. These compounds allow pellets coming off a chill roll or refiner to be less tacky such that they do not readily clog machinery when the pellets are transferred to silos.

Soap bar composition comprising low levels of silicone as processing aids

An apparatus for corring aqueous surfactant composition and sampling moisture content wherein the apparatus includes a device for delivering composition to a main collection port; a device for coring the composition in the main collection port to form a sample; a device for delivering the sample into an NMR sensor area; a device for measuring moisture level of the sample in the NMR sensor area; and a device for extracting the sample from the NMR sensor area or returning the sample to a main collection port which includes a cross feed piston assembly.

Apparatus for accurately controlling moisture levels of aqueous

The present invention relates to detergent bar compositions comprising a specific ternary system. Specifically the composition comprises (1) about 10% to 70% of a first synthetic anionic surfactant and (2) 1 to 20% of a mixture of surfactants comprising a second anionic different from the first and an amphoteric surfactant, wherein the composition comprises less than 5% soap. In such compositions, the throughput rate of a bar made from processing the compositions through a plodder is higher at a temperature below 100.degree. F. than it is above 100.degree. F., said temperature referring to the temperature reading at just after said bar is extruded through said plodder.

Process for producing detergent bar with low soap composition having

A process for preparing an aqueous surfactant composition comprising blending defined ingredients, heating and/or mixing, removing a sample to be sampled by a device containing an NMR, determining moisture level and releasing for further processing.
