Claims20
A dishwashing tablet, comprising a formulation aid in the form of a powder from a parenchymal cell wall containing plant material in conjunction with one or more ingredients selected from the group consisting of phosphates, bleaching agents, ionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, enzymes, alkaline salts, anti-foaming agents, complexing agents, perfumes, anti-caking agents, starches, gelling agents, emulsifiers, dispersing agents and sand, wherein the formulation aid is obtainable by the method comprising:
- (a) obtaining a quantity of hydrated pulp composition derived from a parenchymal cell wall containing plant material;
- (b) drying the hydrated pulp, during which the temperature of the composition does not exceed 95° C.;
- and
- (c) subjecting the pulp to a milling or comminuting process to produce a powder, wherein said milling or comminuting process does not affect the primary, secondary and/or tertiary structures characteristic of parenchymal cell wall containing plant material in the pulp, to obtain a formulation aid in which the cell walls of the parenchymal cell wall containing plant material are intact at the primary, secondary and/or tertiary level.
A laundry tablet, comprising a formulation aid in the form of a powder from a parenchymal cell wall containing plant material in conjunction with one or more ingredients selected from the group consisting of phosphates, bleaching agents, optical brighteners, ionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, enzymes, alkaline salts, anti-foaming agents, complexing agents, perfumes, anti-caking agents, starches, gelling agents, emulsifiers, dispersing agents, dye transfer inhibitors, fabric softeners and colorants, wherein the formulation aid is obtainable by the method comprising:
- (a) obtaining a quantity of hydrated pulp composition derived from a parenchymal cell wall containing plant material;
- (b) drying the hydrated pulp, during which the temperature of the composition does not exceed 95° C.;
- and
- (c) subjecting the pulp to a milling or comminuting process to produce a powder, wherein said milling or comminuting process does not affect the primary, secondary and/or tertiary structures characteristic of parenchymal cell wall containing plant material in the pulp, to obtain a formulation aid in which the cell walls of the parenchymal cell wall containing plant material are intact at the primary, secondary and/or tertiary level.
A fertilizer tablet comprising a formulation aid in the form of a powder from a parenchymal cell wall containing plant material in conjunction with one or more ingredients selected from the group consisting of ammonium compounds, urea compounds, magnesium compounds, potassium compounds, copper compounds, and zinc compounds, wherein the formulation aid is obtainable by the method comprising:
- (a) obtaining a quantity of hydrated pulp composition derived from a parenchymal cell wall containing plant material;
- (b) drying the hydrated pulp, during which the temperature of the composition does not exceed 95° C.;
- and
- (c) subjecting the pulp to a milling or comminuting process to produce a powder, wherein said milling or comminuting process does not affect the primary, secondary and/or tertiary structures characteristic of parenchymal cell wall containing plant material in the pulp, to obtain a formulation aid in which the cell walls of the parenchymal cell wall containing plant material are intact at the primary, secondary and/or tertiary level.
A descaling tablet comprising a formulation aid in the form of a powder from a parenchymal cell wall containing plant material in conjunction with one or more ingredients selected from the group consisting of descaling agents, complexing agents, chelating agents, binders, fillers, acidic compounds such as hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid, formic acid, phosphoric acid and sulfamic acid, wherein the formulation aid is obtainable by the method comprising:
- (a) obtaining a quantity of hydrated pulp composition derived from a parenchymal cell wall containing plant material;
- (b) drying the hydrated pulp, during which the temperature of the composition does not exceed 95° C.;
- and
- (c) subjecting the pulp to a milling or comminuting process to produce a powder, wherein said milling or comminuting process does not affect the primary, secondary and/or tertiary structures characteristic of parenchymal cell wall containing plant material in the pulp, to obtain a formulation aid in which the cell walls of the parenchymal cell wall containing plant material are intact at the primary, secondary and/or tertiary level.
