The present invention relates to a composition for feeding a ruminant comprising i) a non-protein nitrogen compound, and ii) a coating surrounding the non-protein nitrogen compound, wherein said coating comprises one or more layers of a mixture of a saturated fat and a fatty acid, and said coating comprises from 60 wt.-%+/−10% to 85 wt.-%+/−10% of the saturated fat, e.g. hydrogenated fat, and from 15 wt.-%+/−10% to 40 wt.-%+/−10% of the fatty acid, each based on the total weight of the coating; a process for the preparation of said composition and its uses, e.g., for improving nitrogen utilization in a ruminant.

Compositions and methods for improving nitrogen utilization in a ruminant

A composition for feeding a ruminant, including i) a core including a biologically active ingredient selected from i) amino acids, ii) proteins, iii) peptides, iv) carbohydrates, v) vitamins, vi) probiotic microorganisms, vii) prebiotic foods, viii) choline and salts, and ix) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs); and ii) a coating surrounding said core. The coating includes one or more layers of a mixture including from 60 wt %+/−10% to 80 wt %+/−10% of a saturated fat and from 20 wt %+/−10% to 40 wt %+/−10% of a fatty acid, each based on the total weight of the coating. The composition includes from 5 wt %+/−10% to 30 wt %+/−10% of the coating, based on the total weight of the composition.

Rumen protected products

The invention relates to novel compounds, to aqueous, in particular surfactant-containing formulations containing the novel compounds and to the use of the novel compounds as thickening agents of aqueous, in particular surfactant-containing formulations.

Lipase-stable thickening agent

Reacting at least one tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)-amine fatty acid ester with dimethylsulfate at a molar ratio of dimethylsulfate to amine nitrogen of from 0.79 to 0.94 until the reaction mixture has a total amine number of from 7 to 20 mg KOH/g provides novel fabric softener active compositions with a low content of methanol, comprising from 65 to 98% by weight of tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)-methylammonium methylsulfate fatty acid esters and from 1 to 1500 ppm methanol.

The invention relates to detergent formulations for textiles, comprising rhamnolipids, where the content of di-rhamnolipids predominates, and to the use of certain rhamnolipid mixture compositions and of the aforementioned detergent formulations for increasing the rate of foam formation and/or for foam stabilization, and to the use of rhamnolipids for preventing the greying of a textile.

Detergent formulation for textiles, comprising rhamnolipids with a predominant content of di-rhamnolipids

A fabric softening composition which comprises as component A a tertiary or quaternary ammonium salt of formulae (I) or (II):RRRNCHCHROC(&#x2550;O)RX&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)RRRN(CH)NHR(&#x2550;O)RX&#x2003;&#x2003;(II)in which Ris hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, Rand R, independently of one another, are Calkyl or Chydroxyalkyl, Ris hydrogen or methyl, Ris a linear Calkyl or alkenyl radical and Xis a monovalent anion, and as component B a nonionic softener with only one long-chain hydrocarbon radical bonded to a polar radical having at least one free hydroxy group, where fatty alcohol alkoxylate or fatty acid alkoxylate are excluded as component B, exhibits a good softening effect and forms storage-stable dispersions if the molar ratio of component A to component B is in the range from 2:1 to 1:3, the difference between the average chain length of the long-chain hydrocarbon radicals of components A and B is at most 2 carbon atoms and the hydrocarbon radicals of components A and B have on average in each case at most 0.5 double bonds per hydrocarbon radical. Such a composition can be produced by reacting a fatty acid, a Cdiol or Cpolyol, and a tertiary alkanolamine or a diamine having a tertiary and primary amino group in a suitable molar ratio with the removal of water and subsequent alkylation or protonation.
