Abstract: Reversible swellable modified starch products are provided in the form of individual, chemically cross-linked starch granules capable of undergoing multiple hot or cold water swelling/drying cycles without losing the individuality of the starch granules, and with essentially no loss of starch solubles. The starches are prepared by forming a dispersion of starch granules in water, with the granules undergoing swelling and having a crystalline phase; a cross-linker (preferably a phosphorylating agent) is added to the dispersion in order to cross-link the starch under conditions to avoid complete gelatinization thereof. The swollen/cross-linked starch granules are then heated in excess water in order to melt the crystalline phase of the granules. The granules exhibit a network-like structure with internal voids.

Title: Methods, kits and compositions for the identification of nucleic acids electrostatically bound to matrices

Applicant: BOSTON PROBES INC (US)

Application No.: US1999-0456773 Applic. Date: 1999-12-08

Abstract: This invention pertains to methods, kits and compositions suitable for the detection, identification and/or quantitation of nucleic acids which are electrostatically immobilized to matrices using non-nucleotide probes which sequence specifically hybridize to one or more target sequences of the nucleic acid but do not otherwise substantially interact with the matrix. Once the nucleic acid is immobilized, the detectable non-nucleotide probe/target sequence complex, formed before or after the immobilization of the nucleic acid, can be detected, identified or quantitated under a wide range of assay conditions as a means to detect, identify or quantitate the target sequence in the sample. Because it is reversibly bound, the non- nucleotide probe/target sequence can optionally be removed from the matrix for detecting, identifying or quantitating the target sequence in the sample.; Because the non-nucleotide probe/target sequence is protected against degradation, it is another advantage of this invention that the sample can be treated with enzymes which degrade sample components, either before or after the nucleic acid is bound to the matrix, in order to "clean up" the sample (e.g. a complex biological sample such as a cell lysate) and thereby improve the detection, identification or quantitation of the target sequence in the sample. The methods, kits and compositions of this invention are therefore particularly well suited for the analysis, and particularly single point mutation analysis, in a particle assay, in an array assay, in a nuclease digestion/protection assay and/or in a line assay format. When utilized in combination with non-nucleotide "Beacon" probes, the invention is particularly well suited for use in a self- indicating assay format.

Title: Esters

Applicant: UNILEVER HOME & PERSONAL CARE (US)

Application No.: US2001-0978954 Applic. Date: 2001-10-17

Abstract: Cellobiose esters and particularly alpha cellobiose octanonanoate has been found able to structure water- immiscible liquids well, and in particular can produce clear structured emulsions. However, such emulsions tend to lose clarity or structural strength during storage. Deviating from alpha-cellobiose octanonanoate can result in impaired clarity and/or impaired hardness of emulsion sticks. However, acylated cellobiose which contains acyl substituents of formula -O-CO-R in which R represents an n-octyl residue and the percentage Y of the nonanoate acyl substituent -O-CO-R at the anomeric carbon is at least 60% and the percentage A of alpha anomer is greater than the anomer and not higher than A=74.5 +0.2Y when Y is up to 92% and not higher than A=161-0.74Y when Y is greater than 92% offers the production of sticks combining structurant stability with product clarity and hardness.
