The disclosed technology relates to a novel coupled 6-amino uracil derivative, and the use of the coupled 6-amino uracil derivative as a stabilizer in halogen containing polymer compounds. In particular, the disclosed technology relates to the use of a coupled 6-amino uracil derivative as a stabilizer in vinyl chloride compounds, such as, for example, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) compounds.

Coupled uracil compound for vinyl chloride polymer resins

The disclosed technology relates to chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) compounds being free of heavy metals, particularly heavy metals in the form of stabilizer additives, the most common heavy metal being tin.

Heavy metal free CPVC compounds

Interacted starch products made up of resistant starch and hydrocolloid are provided which exhibit at least about 20% resistance to &#x3b1;-amylase digestion. The products are prepared by mixing together quantities of resistant starch and hydrocolloid in water with mixing and optional heating, followed by drying. Foods containing the interacted starch products are also disclosed.

Resistant starch-hydrocolloid blends and uses thereof

Composite materials containing non-plasticized, non-gelatinized starch, a compatibilizer and a synthetic resin, such as polyethylene and/or polypropylene, may be used to make wood replacement products for use as construction materials.

Starch-plastic composite resins and profiles made by extrusion

Process equipment for the separation of gluten from wheat starch including gluten process equipment configured to process gluten after the gluten is initially separated from a starch, the gluten processing equipment having a dewatering press configured to dewater gluten and modified gluten process equipment including at least one component selected from the group of a high pressure water wash system located upstream of the dewatering press, a kneader located upstream of the dewatering press, a homogenizer located upstream of the dewatering press, a dispersion tank configured to precipitate fines downstream of the dewatering press, a solids-ejecting centrifuge downstream, and combinations thereof.

Methods of making wheat protein isolates and their modified forms

Process equipment for the separation of gluten from wheat starch including gluten process equipment configured to process gluten after the gluten is initially separated from A starch, the gluten processing equipment having a dewatering press configured to dewater gluten and modified gluten process equipment including at least one component selected from the group having a high pressure water wash system located upstream of the dewatering press, a kneader located upstream of the dewatering press, a homogenizer located upstream of the dewatering press, a dispersion tank configured to precipitate fines downstream of the dewatering press, a solids-ejecting centrifuge downstream, and combinations thereof.

Processes for producing wheat protein isolates

An extrusion-based injection molding system is designed for use in food processing applications. Interior surfaces, such as the barrel exit line and/or fill line, of the system may be coated with a friction-reducing agent.

Improved compositions for coating paper stock, methods of forming such compositions, and methods of coating paper stock with those compositions are provided. The compositions comprise an aqueous dispersion including therein from about 20-45% by weight filler (e.g., a starch such as wheat starch) and from about 6-18% by weight wheat gluten. Preferably, the gluten is initially modified with a reducing agent so that the average molecular weight of the gluten is less than about 1,000 kDa. The compositions have a viscosity of up to about 2000 cP and a solids content of from about 25-57% by weight, thus making them suitable for high speed coating of paper stock. The finished, coated stock may be conventionally printed to achieve high gloss end products. The compositions are preferably water soluble, thereby greatly facilitating repulping of the coated stock.

Protein/starch paper coating compositions and method of use thereof

Wheat gluten protein-based biodegradable or edible films are produced using aqueous, essentially alcohol-free casting dispersions containing modified wheat protein and a plasticizer. The modified wheat protein is prepared by treating purified naturally occurring wheat protein with a reducing agent (e.g., sodium metabisulfite) in order to reduce the average molecular weight of the wheat protein and to cleave disulfide bonds therein. Such modified wheat gluten protein lowers the viscosity and allows increased solid contents in the casting dispersions, allowing fabrication of improved films.

Modified wheat glutens and use thereof in fabrication of films

Gluten protein-based biodegradable or edible films are produced using aqueous, essentially alcohol-free casting dispersions containing modified protein (preferably wheat gluten protein) and a plasticizer. The modified protein is prepared by treating purified naturally occurring wheat protein with a reducing agent (e.g., sodium metabisulfite) in order to reduce the average molecular weight of the wheat protein and to cleave disulfide bonds therein. Such modified wheat gluten protein lowers the viscosity and allows increased solid contents in the casting dispersions, allowing fabrication of improved films using continuous casting techniques and without use of organic solvents.

Improved aqueous gliadin-containing cosmetic formulations are provided which include form about 0.5-10% by weight gliadin dispersed in an aqueous solvent system together with additional ingredients giving desired end properties. The formulations are preferably selected from the group consisting of hairsprays, hair shampoos and shampoo conditioners, hair styling gels, hair conditioners, instant conditioners, and hair reparatives, as well as sunscreens, shaving creams and bath and shower gels.

Gliadin-containing cosmetic formulations

Improved aqueous gliadin-containing hairspray formulations are provided which include form about 0.5-10% by weight gliadin dispersed in an aqueous alcohol-containing solvent system at a pH of from about 3-5.5. The preferred formulations have a VOC content of up to about 55% and contain little or no synthetic polymer.
