US Classification:

424/439000

Abstract:

New methods of manufacture, uses and applications for nutraceuticals, their compounds, extracts, enzymes, and special new properties, including, but not limited to, anthocyanidins, pro-anthocyanidins, dimers, polymers, crystalline proanthocyanadin, leucocyanin, leucodelphinin, flavornoids, and polyphenols, hereafter coined “ultra-nutraceuticals”. These new methods, applications, properties and uses offer superior environmental, performance, medical and economic alternatives to chemical, synthetic and other natural-based wet/dry regular or concentrated compounds from herbs, vegetables, fruits and natural fibers. These ultra-nutraceuticals are desired in the manufacture of, but not limited to, pharmaceuticals for treatment and prevention of disease, medical: wound dressings, surgical gowns/drapes; film barriers: wet/dry soaps, cleaning solutions, sprays and surface coatings; deodorants/antiperspirants; nonwovens, including moist/dry sheets & towels, feminine hygiene, incontinence and diapers; cosmetics; personal care; animal bedding and pet litter; agricultural sprays; compositions of matter such as sponges, paper and molded pulp products, and meat/poultry/fruit trays. New application for toothbrush sanitizer in the small appliance category. New appliance consists of an electric, hand-held toothbrush sanitizer fueled by ozone, which can be used with or without toothpaste. Ozone electric toothbrush removes the need for toothpaste as ozone kills 99.9% of all bacteria in mouth within two seconds. Ozone is a safe, natural antibacterial chemical as compared to Colgate's Total toothpaste which contains triclosan as an active ingredient for antimicrobial effectiveness. Sales of this electric toothbrush could erode global toothpaste sales affecting the markets of leading toothpaste manufacturers Colgate and Procter & Gamble.

Abstract:

Multi-fiber composites consist of a combinant structure of cellulosic wood and/or non-wood or polymeric fibers which are mixed with non-fibrous waste materials and processed to form Pseudo-Fiber™ natural fibers. They offer economic and environmental efficiencies to wood, non-wood papermaking, polymeric and other composite operations. They also provide useful, multivarious functional fiber properties necessary or desired in the manufacture of, but not limited to, automotive, disposable cups, food and non-food packaging; disposable hygiene products of diapers, feminine care, incontinence; disposable medical products of wound dressings, surgical gowns and drapes; personal care and filtration products.
