Guar gum composition and process for making it

Water soluble quaternary ammonium ethers of polysaccharides or polyols wherein the quaternary ammonium ether substituents correspond to the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a monohydroxylated or polyhydroxylated alkyl group containing between about one and about six carbon atoms; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently, alkyl groups containing between about one and about six carbon atoms; R.sub.4 is an alkyl group containing between about six and about 24 carbon atoms; and X is a halide, wherein the degree of substitution of said ethers ranges from about 0.001 to about 0.5. is provided. The composition have multiple uses as thickeners and are particularly suited for use in personal care products.

Modified hydrophobic cationic thickening compositions

A novel blend composition comprising one or more cationic polysaccharides and one or more anionic polysaccharides is provided. The blend is capable of producing enhanced viscosities when distributed in a solvent. The blend is suitable for use in foods, explosives, oil field chemicals, textile fibers, paper production, personal care products, agricultural chemicals and cosmetics.
