78 results about "Wax ester" patented technology

A wax ester (WE) is an ester of a fatty acid and a fatty alcohol. Wax esters comprise the main components of three commercially important waxes: carnauba wax, candelilla wax, and beeswax. Wax esters are formed by combining one fatty acid with one fatty alcohol: RCOOH+RʼOH<=>RCOORʼ+H₂O Various types of wax esters exist. Some are saturated, and others contain unsaturated centers. Saturated wax esters have higher melting points and are more likely to be solid at room temperature.

Method for dewaxing peony seed oil by combination of surfactant-crystallization copolymerization and alcohol extraction

The invention discloses a method for dewaxing peony seed oil by combination of surfactant-crystallization copolymerization and alcohol extraction, which comprises the following steps: heating peony seed oil to 70-90 DEG C until the wax crystal precipitated at normal temperature is completely dissolved in the peony seed oil, cooling to 50-65 DEG C, adding a surfactant which accounts for 0.08-0.15 wt% of the peony seed oil, slowly cooling while stirring, stopping stirring when the temperature drops to 5-8 DEG C, growing the grain, carrying out centrifugal separation, and taking the supernatant oil for later use; adding an anhydrous ethanol solution into the supernatant oil, transferring into a separating funnel, standing, separating, taking the understratum oil, extracting once, taking the understratum oil, and finally, removing the ethanol solution. By combining the surfactant and ethanol extract phase, the low-viscosity favorable-flowability dewaxed oil with clear and bright color can be obtained; and the method improves the phenomena of premature adhesion and even waxing due to poor dewaxing effect and incapability of effectively removing wax in oil in the traditional dewaxing process.

Dry emollient compositions

The present invention are dry-feel emollient compositions comprising jojoba oil based esters that have use in personal care, cosmetic, cosmaceutical and pharmaceutical products. These compositions are essentially solid at room temperature, can be provided in various shapes and sizes (especially as particulates such as spheres), and can be produced from combinations of fatty alcohols, isopropyl esters and wax esters obtained from the oil contained in the seed of the jojoba plant. These new compositions also increase the range of applications for cosmetic compositions through an emollient that is more polar and hydrophilic than is found in jojoba oils. The compositions of the present invention may be obtained by a novel process of a base catalyzed alcoholysis reaction between jojoba oil and an alcohol, such as isopropyl alcohol. These components, whether exclusively jojoba esters or when combined with other carrier and vehicle components (including other emollients or binders) can form excellent carrier composition for use in the cosmetic, personal care and / or pharmaceutical field. Typical materials with which the compositions of the present invention may be blended include, but are not limited to, cosmetic oils and waxes, both natural and synthetic, (including hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils), silicone oils, mineral oils, long chain esters, vitamins, long chain fatty acids, cosmeceuticals, pigments, botanical extracts, esters and ethers, dimers, trimers, oligomers, and polymers, and the like. The proportions of the jojoba esters should be chosen to provide the dry-feel to the composition, which is highly desired. This will usually require a weight percent that ranges from 10% to 100% by weight of carrier material in the composition.
