This invention relates to making and using a stabilizer that is effective in small amounts and, particularly useful for stabilizing low solids liquids, e.g., dispersions, emulsions, and suspensions, used in foods, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and similar industrial applications, which comprises, microcrystalline cellulose, (preferably, colloidal hydrolyzed MCC); a first carboxymethyl cellulose having a viscosity of 30-85 cP at 2% in deionized water; and, a degree of carboxymethyl substitutions of 0.60 to 0.85, and a second carboxymethyl cellulose having a viscosity of 400-800 cP at 2% in deionized water, and a degree of carboxymethyl substitutions of 0.80 to 0.95; and, the stabilizer may be made by preparing a moist MCC 'wetcake'; thoroughly mixing the wetcake with a dry blended mixture of low DS and medium DS, CMCs; preferably, in a MCC/low DS CMC/medium DS CMC ratio range of about 88/6/6 to about 92/4/4, adding that mixture to an extruder; preparing a slurry of the extrudate in deionized water; and, optionally, pumping the slurry to a spray dryer to produce a powder.

Colloidal stabilizer effective at low concentrations

Embodiments disclosed herein provide enzymatic formulations comprising a polypeptide having amylase activity for producing a paper product. Also provided are aqueous surface treatment compositions for paper and board comprising degraded starch. Further provided are methods for producing paper and board using the aqueous surface treatment composition, and to corrugated boards produced from this paper.

Aqueous surface treatment composition for paper and board

A process comprising treating a lignocellulosic material preferably pulp in the presence of a transition metal catalyst with a oxidizing agent selected from a group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, hypochlorous acid and any combination thereof to form a treated lignocellulosic material having a viscosity equal to or less than about 17 cp and having reducing functional groups selected from the group consisting of aldehyde and aldehyde type functional groups at the C6 and C1 positions but predominating at the C1 position.

Ligno cellulosic materials and the products made therefrom

A method of making a water-dispersible composition comprises coprocessing a microcrystalline cellulose wetcake and at least one starch by co-attrition to form an admixture comprising colloidal microcrystalline cellulose and said at least one starch. The admixture is subsequently dried. Optionally, the admixture may be combined with an additional hydrocolloid, such as a galactomannan, before or after drying. A dried colloidal microcrystalline cellulose composition may then be dispersed in an aqueous media to form the food/beverage product. In particular, the composition may be dispersed in an aqueous media containing, for example, a protein to form a low pH beverage composition.

Water-dispersible compositions for food applications

A method of producing bleached microcrystalline cellulose which method comprises neutralizing or alkalizing an acidic microcrystalline production reaction mixture slurry, typically produced by acid hydrolysis or by electronic beam irradiation, followed by adding an oxidant to such reaction mixture. This practice of this method permits the production of microcrystalline cellulose having desirable color stability as well as compression characteristics suitable for pharmaceutical binder use from paper grade and other low purity pulps.

Method of making bleached microcrystalline cellulose

The subject matter of this invention is a composition and method of making a water-dispersible, stabilizing colloidal microcrystalline cellulose:carboxymethylcellulose composition. The method of making the composition does not require a salt solution as an anti-slip agent.

Stabilizer composition of microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, method for making, and uses

The present invention is directed to a co-attrited stabilizer composition comprising: a) microcrystalline cellulose in an amount of from 20%-90% by weight of the composition; b) a hydrocolloid in an amount of from 5%-50% by weight of the composition, wherein the hydrocolloid is selected from at least one member of the group consisting of carboxymethyl cellulose having a degree of substitution of at least 0.95, pectin, alginate, carrageenan, xanthan gum, agar gum, wellan gum, or gellan gum; and c) a starch in an amount of from 5%-50% by weight of the composition, wherein the stabilizer composition has a gel strength (G') of at least 25 Pa when measured after 24 hours in a 2.6% solids water dispersion at 20&#xb0; C. The composition is useful as a stabilizer, particularly in food and beverage products.

Co-attrited stabilizer composition having superior gel strength

The subject matter of this invention is a composition and method of making a water-dispersible, stabilizing colloidal microcrystalline cellulose:xarboxymethylcellulose composition. The method of making the composition does not require a salt solution as an anti-slip agent.

A composition is provided, which comprises a water-soluble salt of a divalent metal; a complexing agent having an affinity for the divalent metal; and an optical brightening agent. Methods of using the composition, and recording sheets which include the composition, are also disclosed.

Composition and recording sheet with improved optical properties

The present invention relates to compositions containing stabilized and/or activated urease inhibitors, as well methods of making and using the same.

Compositions and particles containing cellulosic fibers and stabilized-and/or activated-urease inhibitors, as well as methods of making and using the same

Methods of making a high gel strength, water-dispersible, stabilizing colloidal microcrystalline cellulose composition are disclosed. This stabilizer composition is useful in many food and non-food applications.

Stabilizer composition of co-attrited microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, method for making, and uses

The present invention is directed to a co-attrited stabilizer composition comprising: (i) microcrystalline cellulose and (ii) carboxymethyl cellulose, wherein the carboxymethyl cellulose has a degree of substitution of from 0.95-1.5 and a viscosity of less than 100 cps. The composition is useful as a stabilizer, particularly, in food and pharmaceutical applications.
