Estimating the term…
Methods of making a liquid crystal mixture essentially comprised of at least one fatty acid ester or fatty acid, at least one polyhydric solvent, and at least one alkali reactant. The resultant mixture includes at least one fatty acid ester or fatty acid, at least one polyhydric solvent, and at least one salt of said fatty acid ester or fatty acid. The resultant mixture exhibits enhanced stability and aqueous solubility of fatty acids and fatty acid esters. When medium chain fatty acid monoglycerides are used in the method, the resultant mixture exhibits antimicrobial efficacy.
A method of making a composition comprising the steps of:
A composition comprised of at least one fatty acid ester, at least one polyhydric alcohol, and an ester salt of monoglyceride, wherein said at least one fatty acid ester and/or said ester salt of a monoglyceride is in the form of a liquid crystal.
A method of making a composition comprising the steps of:
A method of making a composition comprising the step of combining at least one polyhydric alcohol, at least one fatty acid ester, and at least one fatty acid ester salt wherein said fatty acid ester is combined with said polyhydric alcohol, heated, and a alkali reactant is added such that a portion of said fatty acid ester is saponified resulting in the formation of a fatty acid ester salt, further wherein said composition displays antimicrobial properties.
A method of making a liquid crystal composition with antimicrobial properties wherein at least on fatty acid ester is combined with at least on polyhydric alcohol and at least one alkali reactant and wherein the mixture is heated to at least 60° C. and held at said temperature for at least 5 minutes.
