Claims24
A stable emulsion comprising from about 1% to about 90% (w/w) of an oil and from about 1% to about 99% (w/w) of an isolated polypeptide composition capable of dispersing PMDI in an aqueous medium, wherein the isolated polypeptide composition is derived from one or more of corn, wheat, sunflower, cotton, rapeseed, canola, castor, camelina, flax, jatropha, mallow, peanuts, tobacco, or whey, and the isolated polypeptide composition produces a stable emulsion of the oil in an aqueous medium.
A stable emulsion comprising an oil in an amount of from about 1% to about 90% (w/w) and as the emulsifier an isolated water-insoluble/water dispersible protein fraction in an amount of from about 1% to about 99% (w/w), wherein isolated water-insoluble/water dispersible protein fraction is (i) derived from canola, (ii) produces a stable emulsion of the oil in an aqueous medium, and (iii) has the ability to disperse PMDI in an aqueous medium.
A stable emulsion comprising an oil in an amount of from about 1% to about 90% (w/w) and as the emulsifier an isolated water-insoluble/water dispersible protein fraction in an amount of from about 1% to about 99% (w/w), wherein isolated water-insoluble/water dispersible protein fraction is (i) derived from soy, (ii) produces a stable emulsion of the oil in an aqueous medium, and (iii) has the ability to disperse PMDI in an aqueous medium.
