A process for bleaching trichome fibers individualized from a trichome source, such as a leaf and/or a stem, is disclosed. The process of bleaching degrades trichome associated protein. Further, the bleaching processes improves the color of the trichomes.

Bleaching trichomes to remove proteins

The present invention relates to processes for individualizing trichome fibers from a trichome source, such as a leaf and/or a stem. One process comprises contacting the plant biomass with pectin hydrolyzing enzymes, thus releasing the individualized trichomes and recovering the individualized trichomes. A second process comprises contacting the plant biomass with an acidic aqueous solution, thus releasing the individualized trichomes and recovering the individualized trichomes. A third process comprises contacting the plant biomass with an acidic aqueous solution and with pectin hydrolyzing enzymes, thus releasing the individualized trichomes and recovering the individualized trichomes.

Enzymatic and acid methods for individualizing trichomes

Sanitary tissue products employing fibrous structures that exhibit novel combination of slip stick coefficient of friction and compressibility properties and methods for making same.

Sanitary tissue products

A process for separating trichomes from non-trichome materials, and more particularly to a process for separating trichomes that utilizes an aeration step, trichomes produced therefrom, and fibrous structures produced using such trichomes are provided.

Process for separating trichomes from non-trichome materials

Sanitary tissue products employing fibrous structures that exhibit a novel combination of compressibility properties, plate stiffness properties, and slip stick coefficient of friction properties, and methods for making same.

Fibrous structures containing trichomes, for example novel trichome compositions, methods for obtaining such novel trichome compositions, and method for making such fibrous structures are provided.

Fibrous structures comprising trichome compositions and methods for obtaining same

Fibrous structures having thereon a surface softening composition containing a metathesized unsaturated polyol ester, sanitary tissue products made from such fibrous structures and methods for making same are provided.

Fibrous structures comprising a surface softening composition

A process for bleaching trichome fibers individualized from a trichome source, such as a leaf and/or a stem, is disclosed. The process of bleaching degrades trichome associated protein. Further, the bleaching processes improves the color of the trichomes, exhibiting CIELAB Color values of L* greater than 87 and b* less than 17 and with less than 0.1% protein by weight of molecular weight greater than 3,500 daltons.

Improved processes for liberating trichome fibers from non-seed portions of a trichome-bearing host plant are provided. The processes include one or more steps for disassociating trichome fibers that are already separated from leaves, stems, and still-attached fibers so that the separated trichome fibers can be collected and not lost through a waste stream.

Methods for liberating trichome fibers from portions of a host plant

Fibrous structures having thereon a surface softening composition containing a glyceride copolymer, sanitary tissue products made from such fibrous structures and methods for making same are provided.
