Filed:

Apr 12, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/444852

Inventors:

Margaret Teresa Thomas Virgallito - Beavercreek OH, US
Joshua Alan Held - Riverside CA, US

International Classification:

A23G 3/36
A23G 3/54
A23G 3/44
A23G 3/42

US Classification:

426103

Abstract:

An protein-polysaccharide macromolecular complex article of manufacture containing encapsulated ethyl alcohol and/or other spirits serving as an entertaining and novel non-beverage method of consuming alcohol. The article of manufacture encapsulates ethyl alcohol and/or other spirits in the amorphous regions of the complex macromolecular structure releasing it only upon chewing and exposure to the environment of the oral cavity. The article of manufacture is stable and capable of retaining shape and form for extended periods of time at ambient temperature allowing for relatively low-cost commercial manufacture and distribution.

Appl. No.:

7/565388

Inventors:

William A. Hammann - Centerville OH
Kerry Kovacs - Centerville OH
Margaret T. Thomas - Medway OH
Ranganatha Raghaven - Spring Valley OH

Assignee:

The Mead Corporation - Dayton OH

International Classification:

G03C 172

US Classification:

430138

Abstract:

A process for producing photosensitive microcapsules having an extended dynamic range and the microcapsules produced thereby are disclosed; the process includes: (a) providing an emulsion of a multiplicity of droplets of an internal phase in a continuous phase; said internal phase including a photohardenable or photosoftenable composition and an image-forming agent wherein the composition of said internal phase incrementally or continuously varies; and (b) forming a wall around said droplets.

Appl. No.:

7/428098

Inventors:

Kerry Kovacs - Centerville OH
Margaret T. Thomas - Medway OH

Assignee:

The Mead Corporation - Dayton OH

International Classification:

C08L 7504

US Classification:

524591

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a method for preparing microcapsules which comprises: preparing an aqueous dispersion or emulsion of a hydrophobic oily core material containing a polyvalent isocyanate, a polyvalent isothiocyanate, or an adduct thereof, having an anionic moiety; and forming capsule walls around the droplets of said oily core material.

Assignee:

Givaudan Roure (International) SA

International Classification:

A63G 300
B23B 516
A61K 746

US Classification:

426 89

Abstract:

A method of encapsulating an amphiphilic flavor or fragrance compound into a microcapsule having a hydrogel shell and an oil core. The flavor or fragrance compound is transported into and solubilized in the core by partition coefficient equilibrium using water in the capsule wall to transport the compound into the core. Microcapsules made by the method of the invention may have a wall thickness and contain a high concentration of the flavor or fragrance compound that has not previously been feasible.

Inventors:

Kerry Kovacs - Centerville OH
Margaret T. Thomas - Medway OH

Assignee:

The Mead Corporation - Dayton OH

International Classification:

B01J 1300

US Classification:

264 47

Abstract:

A process for preparing microcapsules which comprises dispersing a hydrophobic oily liquid in a continuous aqueous phase, the hydrophobic oily liquid containing a pre-wall former and at least one chain extender, the chain extender being a polyhydric compound which is capable of reacting with the pre-wall former at a rate such that the chain extender does not substantially react with the pre-wall former prior to dispersing the hydrophobic oily liquid in the continuous aqueous phase; and forming capsule walls around the droplets of hydrophobic oily liquid in the continuous aqueous phase.

Assignee:

The Mead Corporation - Dayton OH

International Classification:

B01J 1302
G03C 100

US Classification:

264 47

Abstract:

A process for forming microcapsules having discrete capsule walls comprising the steps of: forming an emulsion of an oily core material phase in a continuous aqueous phase, said oily core material phase including isocyanatoacrylate or cyanoacrylate prewall reactants which react with said aqueous phase to form a pre-wall material around said oily core material phase; and enwrapping particles of said oily core material phase in an amine-formaldehyde condensation product produced by in situ condensation of an amine and formaldehyde, and the microcapsules produced thereby are disclosed.
