Alpha-Tocopherol is the orally bioavailable alpha form of the naturally-occurring fat-soluble vitamin E, with potent antioxidant and cytoprotective activities. Upon administration, alpha-tocopherol neutralizes free radicals, thereby protecting tissues and organs from oxidative damage. Alpha-tocopherol gets incorporated into biological membranes, prevents protein oxidation and inhibits lipid peroxidation, thereby maintaining cell membrane integrity and protecting the cell against damage. In addition, alpha-tocopherol inhibits the activity of protein kinase C (PKC) and PKC-mediated pathways. Alpha-tocopherol also modulates the expression of various genes, plays a key role in neurological function, inhibits platelet aggregation and enhances vasodilation. Compared with other forms of tocopherol, alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active form and is the form that is preferentially absorbed and retained in the body. d-Alpha-Tocopherol is a naturally-occurring form of vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin with potent antioxidant properties. Considered essential for the stabilization of biological membranes (especially those with high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids), d-alpha-Tocopherol is a potent peroxyl radical scavenger and inhibits noncompetitively cyclooxygenase activity in many tissues, resulting in a decrease in prostaglandin production. Vitamin E also inhibits angiogenesis and tumor dormancy through suppressing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene transcription. (NCI04) Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) is a fat soluble vitamin and potent antioxidant that is believed to be important in protecting cells from oxidative stress, regulating immune function, maintaining endothelial cell integrity and balancing normal coagulation. There is no evidence that vitamin E, in physiologic or even super-physiologic, high doses, causes liver injury or jaundice. Vitamin E is a collective term used to describe 8 separate fat soluble antioxidants, most commonly alpha-tocopherol[A176104]. Vitamin E acts to protect cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the body's metabolism. Vitamin E deficiency is seen in persons with abetalipoproteinemia, premature, very low birth weight infants (birth weights less than 1500 grams, or 3½ pounds), cystic fibrosis, and cholestasis and severe liver disease[A176104]. Preliminary research suggests vitamin E may help prevent or delay coronary heart disease and protect against the damaging effects of free radicals, which may contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer[A237]. It also protects other fat-soluble vitamins (A and B group vitamins) from destruction by oxygen[A239]. Low levels of vitamin E have been linked to increased incidence of breast and colon cancer[L5725]. Alpha-Tocopherol is the orally bioavailable alpha form of the naturally-occurring fat-soluble vitamin E, with potent antioxidant and cytoprotective activities. Upon administration, alpha-tocopherol neutralizes free radicals, thereby protecting tissues and organs from oxidative damage. Alpha-tocopherol gets incorporated into biological membranes, prevents protein oxidation and inhibits lipid peroxidation, thereby maintaining cell membrane integrity and protecting the cell against damage. In addition, alpha-tocopherol inhibits the activity of protein kinase C (PKC) and PKC-mediated pathways. Alpha-tocopherol also modulates the expression of various genes, plays a key role in neurological function, inhibits platelet aggregation and enhances vasodilation. Compared with other forms of tocopherol, alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active form and is the form that is preferentially absorbed and retained in the body. Vitamin E is likely the most important antioxidant in the human diet and alpha-tocopherol is the most active isomer. Alpha-tocopherol exhibits anti-oxidative capacity in vitro, and inhibits oxidation of ldl. Beside this, alpha-tocopherol shows anti-inflammatory activity and modulates expression of proteins involved in uptake, transport and degradation of tocopherols, as well as the uptake, storage and export of lipids such as cholesterol. Despite promising anti-atherogenic features in vitro, vitamin E failed to be atheroprotective in clinical trials in humans. Recent studies highlight the importance of long-chain metabolites of alpha-tocopherol, which are formed as catabolic intermediate products in the liver and occur in human plasma. These metabolites modulate inflammatory processes and macrophage foam cell formation via mechanisms different than that of their metabolic precursor alpha-tocopherol and at lower concentrations. Here we summarize the controversial role of vitamin E as a preventive agent against atherosclerosis and point the attention to recent findings that highlight a role of these long-chain metabolites of vitamin E as a proposed new class of regulatory metabolites. We speculate that the metabolites contribute to physiological as well as pathophysiological processes. Balanced nutrition is very important for maintaining health and strengthening the immune system as well as the daily functions of the body. The implementation of a nutrition program that is created with natural and healthy foods and that includes all food groups in moderation provides the body with the energy it needs and contains all nutrients in balanced proportions. Along with the foods consumed, the need for vitamins and minerals should be met in addition to the nutrients divided into three groups as protein, carbohydrate and fats. Vitamin E, one of the fat soluble vitamins; It is a nutrient that has important roles in many areas such as skin health, eye health and hormonal order. At the same time, vitamin E, one of the vitamins with antioxidant properties, is also very effective in strengthening the immune system. For this reason, it is important to take the vitamin E needed by the body regularly with foods. What is Vitamin E? Vitamin E is one of the basic types of vitamins, also called tocopherols, which are necessary for the daily functions of the body. Just like vitamins A, D and K, vitamin E is also fat-soluble and can be stored in the liver to some extent. This vitamin, which is absorbed from the small intestines after being taken with food, is a nutrient whose deficiency is less common than water-soluble vitamins due to its ability to be stored in the liver. In addition to the liver, some vitamin E can be stored in the heart, kidneys, adrenal glands, muscles and tissues. The only form of this vitamin, which has eight different forms, that can be used in the human body is the form called alpha tocopherol. Vegetable oils and vegetable foods containing valuable oils are among the main sources of vitamin E. Vitamin E can be taken into the body with foods, and in some cases, vitamin E can be taken into the body as supplements. The daily vitamin E requirement in adults is at the level of 10 mg for men and 8 mg for women. For children, the daily requirement varies between 3-10 mg depending on the age of the child. It is very important to meet this requirement on a daily basis. When vitamin E sources are not consumed in sufficient amounts for a long time or when vitamin E deficiency develops due to some diseases, some health problems begin to occur. What are the benefits of vitamin E? Vitamin E has many important functions in the human body. In order for many organs in the body to function properly, it is necessary to have sufficient vitamin E levels. This vitamin is also very important for the hormonal system to work properly. Especially in order to produce sex hormones in a healthy way, to prevent gynecological and urological diseases, and to increase reproductive ability, foods containing vitamin E should be consumed in sufficient amounts. At the same time, vitamin E, an antioxidant vitamin, prevents them from causing harmful effects on the body by reducing free radicals. In this way, it reduces oxidative stress and helps fight many diseases, especially cancer, by preventing the formation of genetic damage in cells. Vitamin E, which contributes to the strengthening of the immune system, contributes to the protection of the body against infectious diseases when taken in sufficient amount. Adequate vitamin E intake is also very important for eye and skin health. In order to maintain healthy eye development in children in the growth and development period, and to protect eye health in adult individuals, the daily vitamin E requirement should be fully met. In addition, it is important to meet the vitamin E requirement in terms of providing skin elasticity, increasing the renewal rate of the skin, obtaining a healthier skin appearance and preventing defects such as wrinkles. Some of the other benefits of vitamin E in the body are: Prevents cell damage: Thanks to its antioxidant properties, vitamin E prevents free radicals from damaging cells and causing cancer. In this way, it helps prevent cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Protects the skin against aging: Vitamin E, which has an important role in the protection of skin health, contributes to the protection of the moisture balance of the skin, the rapid healing of wounds and burns, and the prevention of wrinkles and other skin problems. At the same time, vitamin E, which provides protection against skin cancer, is included in many cosmetic products. Improves hair and nail health: Vitamin E; It helps hair grow healthily and quickly, as well as having a structure that is resistant to breakage and shedding. Vitamin E, which has positive effects in terms of nail health, helps nails to grow healthily while preventing yellowing, cracking and peeling. Reduces the effects of skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis: The daily requirement for vitamin E is It helps to reduce the symptoms of dryness in skin diseases such as eczema and atopic dermatitis and to increase the moisture content of the skin. It also has important effects in reducing the complications seen in psoriasis and supporting treatment. What do you have vitamin E in? In order to meet the daily requirement of vitamin E, basic food types containing plenty of this vitamin must be present in the diet sufficiently. The most valuable sources of vitamin E; Vegetable oils such as olive oil, hazelnut oil, Oil seeds such as hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, Vegetables and greens such as spinach, cress, parsley, lettuce, celery, cabbage, broccoli, pumpkin, Poultry, Fish species such as anchovy, salmon, mackerel, sardines and tuna, Fruits such as avocados, bananas and kiwi Cereals, Butter, Red meat, They are foods like eggs. Should vitamin E supplements be used? Vitamin E supplements or vitamin-mineral tablets containing this vitamin can be found in pharmacies and stores where wellness products are sold. However, with a healthy nutrition program that includes all food groups in balanced amounts, the vitamin E requirement can be fully met. For this reason, individuals who do not have a medical obstacle to consume vitamin E source foods do not need to use vitamin E supplements. As with all vitamins and minerals, it is healthier to meet vitamin E naturally. Therefore, it is not recommended to use vitamin and mineral supplements unconsciously for purposes such as protecting from diseases or strengthening the body without consulting a physician, and it should be known that excessive intake of vitamins and minerals can adversely affect health. In addition, vitamin E supplements can be prescribed for people with a diagnosis of vitamin E deficiency or for individuals who follow a special diet due to any disease and therefore cannot consume vitamin E resources sufficiently. These supplements are usually in the form of capsules and the frequency and dosage of use should be determined by the physician. Vitamin E deficiency is generally seen in those who do not consume enough vegetable oils, and those who follow diets with very low fat content. In addition, when vitamin E absorption from the intestines is not sufficient, vitamin E deficiency may develop in people with diseases related to the digestive system. Such situations can be counted among the situations where vitamin E supplements can be used with the doctor's recommendation. Vitamin E deficiency includes vision problems, weakness and fatigue, anemia, cracks in the skin and tongue, anemia, easy bruising on the skin, muscle and bone pain, muscle loss, nail and hair health deterioration. Since many of these symptoms are symptoms that can be seen in different diseases, people who experience symptoms should definitely apply to health institutions and undergo an examination. If you are experiencing symptoms of vitamin E deficiency, you can apply to a healthcare institution and have the necessary tests done. According to your examination and test results, you can find out whether you need vitamin supplements or not, and you can protect your health by paying attention to the recommendations given by your physician. What is Vitamin E? Vitamin E is an antioxidant. It supports the body's immune system and helps regenerate cells. In addition to being found naturally in many foods, it can also be taken as a nutritional supplement. Vitamin E is fat soluble. This means your body stores and uses it as needed. Which Foods Contain Vitamin E? Foods containing vitamin E can be listed as follows (2): Vegetable Oils: Wheat germ oil Sunflower oil Safflower oil corn oil Soybean Oil Dried Nuts: Almond Peanut Hazelnut Seeds: Sunflower seeds Green Leafy Vegetables: Spinach Broccoli Frequently Asked Questions What Are The Skin Benefits Of Vitamin E? Among the benefits of vitamin E to the skin; These include removing wrinkles, increasing the speed of skin renewal and ensuring the moisture balance of the skin. Is Vitamin E Applied To The Skin? How Is Vitamin E Applied To The Skin? Vitamin E can be applied to the skin through its liquid form in capsules or through moisturizing creams containing vitamin E. Click to view vitamin E capsules. Does Vitamin E Grow Hair? When vitamin E is applied to the scalp, it can help hair growth by increasing blood circulation and regulating the pH level. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with several forms, but alpha-tocopherol is the only one used by the human body. Its main role is to act as an antioxidant, scavenging loose electrons—so-called “free radicals”—that can damage cells.It also enhances immune function and prevents clots from forming in heart arteries. Antioxidant vitamins, including vitamin E, came to public attention in the 1980s when scientists began to understand that free radical damage was involved in the early stages of artery-clogging atherosclerosis, and might also contribute to cancer, vision loss, and a host of other chronic conditions. Vitamin E has the ability to protect cells from free radical damage as well as stop the production of free radical cells entirely. However, conflicting study results have dimmed some of the promise of using high dose vitamin E to prevent chronic diseases. Food Sources Vitamin E is found in plant-based oils, nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. Wheat germ oil Sunflower, safflower, and soybean oil Sunflower seeds Almonds Peanuts, peanut butter Beet greens, collard greens, spinach Pumpkin Red bell pepper Asparagus Mango Avocado Signs of Deficiency Because vitamin E is found in a variety of foods and supplements, a deficiency in the U.S. is rare. People who have digestive disorders or do not absorb fat properly (e.g., pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, celiac disease) can develop a vitamin E deficiency. The following are common signs of a deficiency: Retinopathy (damage to the retina of the eyes that can impair vision) Peripheral neuropathy (damage to the peripheral nerves, usually in the hands or feet, causing weakness or pain) Ataxia (loss of control of body movements) Decreased immune function Toxicity There is no evidence of toxic effects from vitamin E found naturally in foods. Most adults who obtain more than the RDA of 22 IU daily are using multivitamins or separate vitamin E supplements that contain anywhere from 400-1000 IU daily. There have not been reports of harmful side effects of supplement use in healthy people. However, there is a risk of excess bleeding, particularly with doses greater than 1000 mg daily or if an individual is also using a blood thinning medication such as warfarin. For this reason, an upper limit for vitamin E has been set for adults 19 years and older of 1000 mg daily (1465 IU) of any form of tocopherol supplement. Vitamin E helps maintain healthy skin and eyes, and strengthen the body's natural defence against illness and infection (the immune system). Good sources of vitamin E Vitamin E is a group of compounds found in a wide variety of foods. Good sources include: plant oils – such as rapeseed (vegetable oil), sunflower, soya, corn and olive oil nuts and seeds wheatgerm – found in cereals and cereal product How much vitamin E do I need? The amount of vitamin E you need is: 4mg a day for men 3mg a day for women You should be able to get all the vitamin E you need from your diet. Any vitamin E your body does not need immediately is stored for future use, so you do not need it in your diet every day. What happens if I take too much vitamin E? There is not enough evidence to know what the effects might be of taking high doses of vitamin E supplements each day. What does the Department of Health and Social Care advise? You should be able to get the amount of vitamin E you need by eating a varied and balanced diet. If you take vitamin E supplements, do not take too much as this could be harmful. Taking 540mg (800 IU) or less a day of vitamin E supplements is unlikely to cause any harm. Vitamin E is found naturally in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. “Vitamin E” is the collective name for a group of fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant activities. Naturally occurring vitamin E exists in eight chemical forms (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol and alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienol) that have varying levels of biological activity. Alpha- (or α-) tocopherol is the only form that is recognized to meet human requirements. Serum concentrations of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) depend on the liver, which takes up the nutrient after the various forms are absorbed from the small intestine. The liver preferentially resecretes only alpha-tocopherol via the hepatic alpha-tocopherol transfer protein; the liver metabolizes and excretes the other vitamin E forms. As a result, blood and cellular concentrations of other forms of vitamin E are lower than those of alpha-tocopherol and have been the subjects of less research. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that stops the production of ROS formed when fat undergoes oxidation. Scientists are investigating whether, by limiting free-radical production and possibly through other mechanisms, vitamin E might help prevent or delay the chronic diseases associated with free radicals. In addition to its activities as an antioxidant, vitamin E is involved in immune function and, as shown primarily by in vitro studies of cells, cell signaling, regulation of gene expression, and other metabolic processes. Alpha-tocopherol inhibits the activity of protein kinase C, an enzyme involved in cell proliferation and differentiation in smooth muscle cells, platelets, and monocytes. Vitamin-E–replete endothelial cells lining the interior surface of blood vessels are better able to resist blood-cell components adhering to this surface. Vitamin E also increases the expression of two enzymes that suppress arachidonic acid metabolism, thereby increasing the release of prostacyclin from the endothelium, which, in turn, dilates blood vessels and inhibits platelet aggregation. Recommended Intakes Intake recommendations for vitamin E and other nutrients are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) at the Institute of Medicine of The National Academies (formerly National Academy of Sciences). DRI is the general term for a set of reference values used to plan and assess nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values, which vary by age and gender, include: Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals. Adequate Intake (AI): Intake at this level is assumed to ensure nutritional adequacy; established when evidence is insufficient to develop an RDA. Estimated Average Requirement (EAR): Average daily level of intake estimated to meet the requirements of 50% of healthy individuals; usually used to assess the nutrient intakes of groups of people and to plan nutritionally adequate diets for them; can also be used to assess the nutrient intakes of individuals. Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL): Maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects. The FNB’s vitamin E recommendations are for alpha-tocopherol alone, the only form maintained in plasma. The FNB based these recommendations primarily on serum levels of the nutrient that provide adequate protection in a test measuring the survival of erythrocytes when exposed to hydrogen peroxide, a free radical. Acknowledging “great uncertainties” in these data, the FNB has called for research to identify other biomarkers for assessing vitamin E requirements. Naturally sourced vitamin E is called RRR-alpha-tocopherol (commonly labeled as d-alpha-tocopherol); the synthetically produced form is all rac-alpha-tocopherol (commonly labeled as dl-alpha-tocopherol). RDAs for vitamin E are provided in milligrams (mg) and are listed in Table 1. One mg vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) is equivalent to 1 mg RRR-alpha-tocopherol or 2 mg all rac-alpha-tocopherol. Because insufficient data are available to develop RDAs for infants, AIs were developed based on the amount of vitamin E consumed by healthy breastfed babies. Food Numerous foods provide vitamin E. Nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils are among the best sources of alpha-tocopherol, and significant amounts are available in green leafy vegetables and fortified cereals (see Table 2 for a more detailed list). Most vitamin E in American diets is in the form of gamma-tocopherol from soybean, canola, corn, and other vegetable oils and food products. Dietary supplements Supplements of vitamin E typically provide only alpha-tocopherol, although “mixed” products containing other tocopherols and even tocotrienols are available. Naturally occurring alpha-tocopherol exists in one stereoisomeric form. In contrast, synthetically produced alpha-tocopherol contains equal amounts of its eight possible stereoisomers; serum and tissues maintain only four of these stereoisomers. A given amount of synthetic alpha-tocopherol (all rac-alpha-tocopherol; commonly labeled as “DL” or “dl”) is therefore only half as active as the same amount (by weight in mg) of the natural form (RRR-alpha-tocopherol; commonly labeled as “D” or “d”). Most vitamin-E-only supplements provide ≥67 mg (100 IU of natural vitamin E) of the nutrient. These amounts are substantially higher than the RDAs. Alpha-tocopherol in dietary supplements and fortified foods is often esterified to prolong its shelf life while protecting its antioxidant properties. The body hydrolyzes and absorbs these esters (alpha-tocopheryl acetate and succinate) as efficiently as alpha-tocopherol. Vitamin E Intakes and Status Three national surveys—the 2001–2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), NHANES III (1988–1994), and the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (1994–1996) have found that the diets of most Americans provide less than the RDA levels of vitamin E. These intake estimates might be low, however, because the amounts and types of fat added during cooking are often unknown and not accounted for. The FNB suggests that mean intakes of vitamin E among healthy adults are probably higher than the RDA but cautions that low-fat diets might provide insufficient amounts unless people make their food choices carefully by, for example, increasing their intakes of nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. The 1999–2000 NHANES found that 11.3% of adults took vitamin E supplements containing at least 400 IU. Vitamin E Deficiency Frank vitamin E deficiency is rare and overt deficiency symptoms have not been found in healthy people who obtain little vitamin E from their diets. Premature babies of very low birth weight (<1,500 grams) might be deficient in vitamin E. Vitamin E supplementation in these infants might reduce the risk of some complications, such as those affecting the retina, but they can also increase the risk of infections. Because the digestive tract requires fat to absorb vitamin E, people with fat-malabsorption disorders are more likely to become deficient than people without such disorders. Deficiency symptoms include peripheral neuropathy, ataxia, skeletal myopathy, retinopathy, and impairment of the immune response. People with Crohn’s disease, cystic fibrosis, or an inability to secrete bile from the liver into the digestive tract, for example, often pass greasy stools or have chronic diarrhea; as a result, they sometimes require water-soluble forms of vitamin E, such as tocopheryl polyethylene glycol-1000 succinate. Some people with abetalipoproteinemia, a rare inherited disorder resulting in poor absorption of dietary fat, require enormous doses of supplemental vitamin E (approximately 100 mg/kg or 5–10 g/day). Vitamin E deficiency secondary to abetalipoproteinemia causes such problems as poor transmission of nerve impulses, muscle weakness, and retinal degeneration that leads to blindness. Ataxia and vitamin E deficiency (AVED) is another rare, inherited disorder in which the liver’s alpha-tocopherol transfer protein is defective or absent. People with AVED have such severe vitamin E deficiency that they develop nerve damage and lose the ability to walk unless they take large doses of supplemental vitamin E. Vitamin E and Health Many claims have been made about vitamin E’s potential to promote health and prevent and treat disease. The mechanisms by which vitamin E might provide this protection include its function as an antioxidant and its roles in anti-inflammatory processes, inhibition of platelet aggregation, and immune enhancement. A primary barrier to characterizing the roles of vitamin E in health is the lack of validated biomarkers for vitamin E intake and status to help relate intakes to valid predictors of clinical outcomes. This section focuses on four diseases and disorders in which vitamin E might be involved: heart disease, cancer, eye disorders, and cognitive decline.

VeoVa 10 monomer (Vinil neodekanoat, Vinyl neodecanoate) can be used as a modifying comonomer in the preparation of vinyl neodecanoate acetate based polymer latices, which are used for the manufacture of high-quality emulsion paints. VeoVa 10 (Vinil neodekanoat, Vinyl neodecanoate) vinyl neodecanoate ester is also used as a comonomer with acrylates for the production of emulsion and solution polymers. VeoVa 10 chemical structure (Vinil neodekanoat, Vinyl neodecanoate) Reactive group (highlighted in yellow) Similar reactivity to vinyl neodecanoate acetate Excellent reactivity with ethylene Good reactivity with acrylate and methacrylate monomers Bulky group (highlighted in blue) Highly branched aliphatic structure Hydrophobic UV stable Performance Characteristics Alkali resistance Water repellency / Low surface tension Reduced water absorption Outdoor durability Improved adhesion on non-polar substrates Typical Applications Interior and exterior decorative paints Wood coatings Industrial coatings Redispersible powders and concrete admixtures Construction adhesives Wood adhesives Elastomeric roof coatings VeoVa 10 (Vinil neodekanoat, Vinyl neodecanoate) is the vinyl neodecanoate ester of Versatic 10, a synthetic saturated monocarboxylic acid with a highly branched structure containing ten carbon atoms. VeoVa 10 (Vinil neodekanoat, Vinyl neodecanoate) , a low viscosity liquid with a typical mild ester odor, is a very attractive monomer for the manufacture of polymers through reactions of the vinyl neodecanoate group(Vinil neodekanoat, veova 10, Vinyl neodecanoate) . It imparts a combination of flexibility (medium to low Tg), hydrophobicity and very good chemical and UV resistance The neocarboxylic acid can be converted into its vinyl ester monomer by reaction with acetylene. Today, these monomers are marketed under the trade name VeoVa™ vinyl neodecanoate ester and are also widely referred to in industry as vinyl neodecanoate versatate monomers, neo-esters or VV monomers. VeoVa vinyl neodecanoate ester monomers are very hydrophobic vinyl neodecanoate esters with a highly branched tertiary substituted α-carbon structure. Their principal use is as hydrophobic co-monomers in vinyl neodecanoate and acrylic polymerization. Their alkyl neocarboxylic group is very resistant to degradation in alkaline conditions, as there is no hydrogen on the α-carbon atom. The branched tertiary structure with bulky and hydrophobic hydrocarbon groups provides the neo-ester monomers (Figure 2) with a highly hydrophobic nature and a low surface tension. Furthermore, they possess a strong resistance to hydrolysis and do not degrade under the influence of UV light. The VeoVa vinyl neodecanoate ester monomers easily polymerize with various other co-monomers through reaction of the vinyl ester functional group. In this way the specific properties of the monomer can be imparted to its copolymers. VeoVa monomer enhances the performance of vinyl neodecanoate acetate- and acrylic-based latices, significantly upgrading key properties such as water and alkali resistance in both polymer systems. VeoVa vinyl neodecanoate ester-based polymers exhibit the required polymer hardness and flexibility balance, hydrophobicity and chemical resistance for the formulation of a wide range of latex coatings. The resulting paints are characterized by very good water, UV and alkali resistance, and therefore exhibit very good outdoor durability.3 VeoVa monomers already have been successfully used to manufacture VeoVa/vinyl neodecanoate acetate copolymer latices. Used as binders for architectural paints, these latices provide improved scrub resistance and exterior durability. These properties of hydrophobicity, resistance to hydrolysis and UV light make VeoVa monomers also particularly suitable for producing high-performance latices, especially when they are copolymerized with acrylic and methacrylic monomers. VeoVa vinyl neodecanoate ester-modified acrylics can be formulated in protective coatings such as anti-corrosion paints, water-repellent systems, wood coatings, elastomeric roof coatings and adhesive applications such as PSAs. Glass Transition Temperature The various VeoVa monomers mainly differ in the degree of branching and the length of the hydrocarbon groups. This leads to differences in the glass transition temperature (Tg) of their homopolymers and consequently to different copolymer properties. The broad range of Tgs available within the portfolio of VeoVa monomers offers an important tool to the polymer chemist to develop hydrophobic polymers within a very wide Tg range. VeoVa 9 monomer is the vinyl neodecanoate ester of neononanoic acid (9 carbon atoms) and is considered a harder monomer as it imparts a Tg of +70 °C. Scholten and Van Westrenen illustrated the effect of chain branching by measuring the Tg of a series of polymer prepared from VeoVa 9 vinyl neodecanoate ester isomers.4 The Tgs were found to range from +10 to 119 °C, leading to the conclusion that the high Tg of poly-VeoVa 9 is a cumulative effect of the shorter chain length and the higher degree of branching within the various isomer mixtures. VeoVa 10 monomer is the vinyl neodecanoate ester of neodecanoic acid (10 carbon atoms) and has a homopolymer Tg of -3 °C, making it a flexibilizing monomer. VeoVa EH monomer is the vinyl neodecanoate ester of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, a more linear acid, and therefore has a significantly lower Tg of -36 °C Water Resistance Water resistance is one of the most important barrier properties of a coating. The water resistance of a coating is mainly governed by its polymeric binder and the monomers used to produce the binder. If water solubility of the monomers is taken as an indication of hydrophobicity (Table 1) it becomes clear that VeoVa monomers have a much higher hydrophobicity than other monomers that are commonly used in emulsion polymerization.5 Ease of Polymerization VeoVa monomers can be used in combination with a variety of other monomer types to produce various polymers. The ease of polymerization depends on the reactivity ratios of the monomers used (Table 2). The data reported in Table 2 show that VeoVa monomers have a similar reactivity to the vinyl neodecanoate acetate monomer. All the vinyl neodecanoate esters have a similar reactivity independent of the size of the carboxylic group. There is also a difference of reactivity between the vinyl neodecanoate ester monomers and (meth)acrylate monomers, but this difference is such that they can still react together in emulsion polymerization. Finally, the difference of reactivity between the vinyl neodecanoate ester monomers and styrene is so large that they cannot copolymerize in emulsion polymerization. In summary, the VeoVa monomers copolymerize easily with other vinyl neodecanoate esters, ethylene and most acetate-based and acrylic-based monomers. VeoVa-Modified Vinyl neodecanoate Acetate-Based Latices VV10 and vinyl neodecanoate acetate are very much complementary to each other with respect to the properties they impart to latex polymers. Vinyl neodecanoate acetate homopolymers, although economic in use, lack the flexibility and durability required for most emulsion paint applications. Homopolymers of VV10 (Table 3), on the other hand, exhibit very good resistance to hydrolysis, UV light and water, but having a Tg of -3 °C they are too soft for most coating applications. Copolymers of vinyl neodecanoate acetate and VV10 provide a well-balanced set of performance characteristics. Polyvinyl acetate has a Tg of +38 °C and is therefore brittle at ambient temperature. Co-polymerization of VV10 permanently flexibilizes the polymer and reduces the minimum film formation temperature (MFFT). Protective Effect of the VeoVa Vinyl Ester Molecule VV10 and vinyl neodecanoate acetate exhibit a very similar reactivity (r1=0.99; r2=0.92) in radical polymerization reactions, which leads to polymers with the monomer units randomly distributed along the chain. This is important, because it allows the key performance characteristics of the VV10 monomer to be fully exploited. The unique, highly branched, carbon-rich structure of the monomer sterically protects its ester group from being hydrolyzed. More importantly, it also protects neighboring acetate groups (Figure 3), thus improving the hydrolytic stability of the polymer. This protection phenomenon is referred to as the “umbrella effect”. This enables such polymers to be successfully used as paint binders on even very alkaline substrates. The umbrella protection effect of the highly branched carboxylate groups is supported by experimental data. The alkali resistance of a latex can be determined by the percentage of ester groups hydrolyzed after four days immersion in a 2% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The results (Figure 4) show clearly that the introduction of VV10 in vinyl neodecanoate acetate-based polymers significantly improves the alkali resistance of both colloid-stabilized and colloid-free systems. While only 20% of VV10 already has a profound positive influence, a 30% use is recommended to obtain the very good alkali resistance required for high durability of emulsion paint on alkaline surfaces. Vinyl neodecanoate acetate homopolymer, as well as its copolymers with butyl acrylate or 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, tend to hydrolyze easily and almost completely with time. The data shows that the alkali resistance of a VA/VV10 (85/15) is significantly better compared to the alkali resistance of a VA/2-EHA (85/15), and the same is observed for a VA/VV10 (75/25) compared to a VA/BA (75/25). VV10 is therefore far more effective in protecting the acetate group than an acrylate monomer such as 2-ethylhexyl acrylate or butyl acrylate. This can be explained by the fact that the neo-acid structure is more bulky, apolar and more effectively randomly located onto the polymer backbone. Equally, the alkali resistance of a vinyl neodecanoate acrylic latex can also be improved by the copolymerization of VV10. As can be seen from Figure 5, dry VV10-based latex films immersed for two weeks in a 2% NaOH solution remain almost unchanged. The alkali extractables from a latex clear film of the VeoVa-based terpolymer can be as low as the one of an all-acrylic or styrene-acrylic, and definitively better than a vinyl neodecanoate acrylic. Effect on Wet Scrub Resistance Vinyl neodecanoate acetate-rich polymers tend to soften and weaken considerably under the influence of water because vinyl acetate has a very hydrophilic characteristic. Hence, such systems may fail during wet cleaning or scrubbing. This is much less the case when the polymer contains a sufficient amount of hydrophobic monomer. VV10 performs better in this respect than other co-monomers for vinyl neodecanoate acetate. A series of vinyl neodecanoate acetate/VV10 binders with different VV10 content was formulated in a 60% PVC matte paint. The scrub resistance improved with increasing VV 10 content of the binder, as shown in Figure 6. Outdoor Durability Exterior paints first and foremost need to be resistant to the influence of the weather, such as fluctuations in temperature and humidity and to the effects of UV light. Equally important is that the paints resist exposure to alkali (e.g., from the substrate) and accommodate dimensional changes. VV10 latices, when properly formulated, have proven to be among the best performing under severe conditions. VV10, unlike other co-monomers for vinyl neodecanoate acetate, provides the hydrophobicity and hydrolytic stability required to resist degradation of the binder from exposure to alkaline substrates. Both vinyl neodecanoate acetate and VV10 impart good UV resistance. As can be seen in Figure 7, the VV10-based binders have much better outdoor durability than other vinyl neodecanoate acetate-based binders. Moreover, a VA/VV10 (70/30 m/m)-based paint equals or even outperforms the more expensive acrylic-based paints in erosion resistance and yellowing resistance. Also a vinyl neodecanoate acetate/VV10/BA (74/28/6) terpolymer-based paint performed very well in this 10-year exposure test. The paint with the styrene acrylic binder remained intact but severe yellowing was observed. The copolymerization of hydrophobic vinyl neodecanoate ester of branched neo-carboxylic acids significantly improves the performance of vinyl neodecanoate and acrylic binders. Manufacturing of vinyl neodecanoate acetate/VeoVa vinyl neodecanoate ester polymers is easy due to the favorable reactivity characteristics of the VeoVa monomer and vinyl neodecanoate acetate. Incorporating the highly branched structure enhances the alkaline and water resistance of the vinyl neodecanoate copolymers. The resulting paints will offer a high scrub resistance combined with excellent weathering resistance. Combining VeoVa monomers with acrylate monomers offers an additional tool to formulate a diversity of very versatile polymers for use in coating and adhesive applications. The upgraded acrylics perform very well on even the most demanding substrates such as metal, wood and even plastics.

VP/VA Copolymer has good compatibility with many modifiers, plasticizers, spray propellants and other cosmetic ingredients.

VP/VA Copolymer is a synthetic vinyl polymer composed of vinyl acetate and vinylpyrrolidone.


VP/VA copolymer is a synthetic polymer, or large molecule, used in skin care and hair care preparations primarily as a film-forming agent.
This category of ingredients creates a coating over the area of application which helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and creates a smooth feeling.
VP/VA copolymer is created through the combining of two smaller molecules, vinyl acetate and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).

Hair care products commonly use this multi-industry ingredient to help fix hair into place, which is why it’s commonly incorporated into hair sprays.
Skin care and cosmetic products also use this ingredient, tapping into VP/VA copolymer’s ability to hinder TEWL and assist in the suspending and dispersing of ingredients (such as UV filters) in formulas.

Suppliers can provide this ingredient as both a powder (in 100% concentration) or as an alcohol-based solution (in 50% concentration).
In rinse off products, this copolymer is used in percentages between 0.07-44%, whereas in leave on preparations, it’s utilized in percentages ranging from 0.001-10%.



The VP / VA copolymer is a large molecule consisting of N-vinylpyrrolidone (PV) and vinyl acetate (VA) monomers.
This film-forming agent is mainly used in hair care, it helps the hair to maintain their style by preventing them from absorbing moisture.
When VP/VA copolymer dries, VP/VA copolymer forms a thin layer on the skin, hair or nails.
VP/VA copolymer is forbidden in organic.

A film-forming, hair fixative ingredient that leaves hair shiny.
VP/VA copolymer is a modified version of PVP.
Directly from a source: "Polyvinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate (PVP/VA) resins are linear, random copolymers produced by the free-radical polymerization of the monomers in ratios varying from 70/30 to 30/70 vinyl acetate to vinylpyrrolidone."
Scientifically speaking, VP/VA copolymer is: acetic acid ethenyl ester, polymer with 1-ethenyl-2-pyrrolidinone.


VP/VA Copolymer is a big polymer (created from repeating subunits) molecule that works as a film former and hair fixative agent.
VP/VA Copolymer is a modified version of the first and classic hair fixative, PVP, that alternates the water-loving VP (Vinyl Pyrrolidone) units with water-hating VA (Vinyl Acetate) units to create a film that is less brittle and less sensitive to air humidity.

VP/VA Copolymer has a number of benefits to offer in the world of cosmetics and personal care.
VP/VA Copolymer can mainly be found in hair care products, followed by cosmetics and a few skin care products.

Skin care:
VP/VA Copolymer is responsible for forming a thin layer on the skin that feels smooth to the touch and makes the surface look flawless.
VP/VA Copolymer also retains moisture on the skin and doesn't allow it to run dry for longer durations of time.

Hair care:
VP/VA Copolymer is mainly used in hair care products for hair setting.
This ingredient does not allow the shafts to absorb any further moisture and thus lose any styling done on them.
VP/VA Copolymer also forms a thin coat on hair that helps them retain its shape.

Decorative cosmetics:
VP/VA Copolymer is also added to cosmetic products like nail polish and mascara because it dries up to form a film that inhibits the surface from absorbing any moisture and thus keeps it styled impeccably.

ORIGIN OF VP/VA COPOLYMER:
VP/VA Copolymer is made by the monomers of vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate.
VP/VA Copolymer appears as a white free-flowing powder and is the result of very small chemical compounds combining to form a large molecule.

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF VULVIC ACID:
Vulvic acid is stable at normal temperatures and should be stored in a cool, dry place.



SOURCE AND PREPARATION OF VULVIC ACID:
Vulvic acid is a fatty carboxylic acid isolated from vegetable and animal fats or oils.
For example, coconut oil and palm kernel oil both contain high proportions of Vulvic acid.
Isolation from natural fats and oils involves hydrolysis, separation of the fatty acids, hydrogenation to convert unsaturated fatty acids to saturated acids, and finally distillation of the specific fatty acid of interest.



OCCURRENCE OF VULVIC ACID:
Vulvic acid, as a component of triglycerides, comprises about half of the fatty acid content in coconut oil, laurel oil, and in palm kernel oil (not to be confused with palm oil).
Otherwise Vulvic acid is relatively uncommon.
Vulvic acid is also found in human breast milk ( 6.2 % of total fat), cow's milk (2.9%), and goat's milk (3.1 %).



SAFETY OF VULVIC ACID:
Vulvic acid is widely used in cosmetic preparations, in the manufacture of food-grade additives, and in pharmaceutical formulations.
General exposure to Vulvic acid occurs through the consumption of food and through dermal contact with cosmetics, soaps, and detergent products.

Occupational exposure may cause local irritation of eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract, although Vulvic acid is considered safe and nonirritating for use in cosmetics.
No toxicological effects were observed when Vulvic acid was administered to rats at 35% of the diet for 2 years.



MEDIUM-CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES OF VULVIC ACID:
Medium-chain triglycerides, or fatty acids, such as Vulvic acid, are characterized by a specific chemical structure that allows your body to absorb them whole.

This makes them more easily digestible--your body processes them as it would carbohydrates, and they are used as a source of direct energy.
Compared to long-chain triglycerides, the type in other saturated fats, MCTs have fewer calories per serving, roughly 8.3 calories per gram rather than the standard 9 calories per gram, according to an article in "Nutrition Review."



NUTRITIONAL AND MEDICAL ASPECTS OF VULVIC ACID:
Although 95% of medium-chain triglycerides are absorbed through the portal vein, only 25–30% of Vulvic acid is absorbed through it.
Vulvic acid induces apoptosis in cancer and promotes the proliferation of normal cells by maintaining cellular redox homeostasis.
Vulvic acid increases total serum lipoproteins more than many other fatty acids, but mostly high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

As a result, Vulvic acid has been characterized as having "a more favorable effect on total HDL than any other fatty acid [examined], either saturated or unsaturated".
In general, a lower total/HDL serum lipoprotein ratio correlates with a decrease in atherosclerotic incidence.

Nonetheless, an extensive meta-analysis on foods affecting the total LDL/serum lipoprotein ratio found in 2003 that the net effects of Vulvic acid on coronary artery disease outcomes remained uncertain.
A 2016 review of coconut oil (which is nearly half Vulvic acid) was similarly inconclusive about the effects on cardiovascular disease incidence.



INCLUDING VULVIC ACID IN YOUR DIET:
Vulvic acid can be taken as a supplement, but it is most commonly consumed as part of coconut oil or palm kernel oil.
Vulvic acid is considered to be safe based on the amounts generally found in food.

According to NYU Langone Medical Center, coconut and palm kernel oil contain up to 15 percent MCTs, along with a number of other fats.
However, because they are still pure oil, limit your intake of MCTs to stay within the recommended 5 to 7 teaspoons of oil per day as set out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

You can use coconut and palm kernel oil for stir-fries because both oils withstand high heat.
They can also be used in baking, adding a natural richness to your food.

PRODUCTION METHODS OF VULVIC ACID:
1. Industrial production methods can be grouped into two categories:
* derived from the saponification or high temperature and pressure decomposition of natural vegetable oils and fats;
* separated from the synthetic fatty acid.

Japan mainly uses coconut oil and palm kernel oil as the raw materials for the preparation of Vulvic acid.
The natural vegetable oils used to produce Vulvic acid include coconut oil, litsea cubeba kernel oil, palm kernel oil and mountain pepper seed oil.

Other plants oil, such as palm kernel oil, tea tree seed oil and camphor tree seed oil, can also service industry to produce Vulvic acid.
The residual C12 distillate from the extraction of Vulvic acid, containing a large number of dodecenoic acid, can be hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure, without catalyst, to convert into Vulvic acid with a yield of more than 86%.

2. Derived from the separation and purification of coconut oil and other vegetable oil.

3. Vulvic acid naturally exists in coconut oil, litsea cubeba kernel oil, palm kernel oil and pepper kernel oil in the form of glyceride.
Vulvic acid can be derived from the hydrolysis of natural oils and fats in industry.
The coconut oil, water and catalyst are added into the autoclave and hydrolyzed to glycerol and fatty acid at 250 ℃ under the pressure of 5MPa.
The content of Vulvic acid is 45%~80%, and can be further distilled to obtain Vulvic acid.

TASTE THRESHOLD VALUES OF VULVIC ACID:
Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: waxy,fatty and oily, tallowlike, creamy and dairylike with a coating mouthfeel



REACTIVITY PROFILE OF VULVIC ACID:
Vulvic acid is a carboxylic acid.
Carboxylic acids donate hydrogen ions if a base is present to accept them.
They react in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic.

Their reactions with bases, called "neutralizations", are accompanied by the evolution of substantial amounts of heat.
Neutralization between an acid and a base produces water plus a salt.
Carboxylic acids in aqueous solution and liquid or molten carboxylic acids can react with active metals to form gaseous hydrogen and a metal salt.

Such reactions occur in principle for solid carboxylic acids as well, but are slow if the solid acid remains dry.
Even "insoluble" carboxylic acids may absorb enough water from the air and dissolve sufficiently in Vulvic acid to corrode or dissolve iron, steel, and aluminum parts and containers.

Carboxylic acids, like other acids, react with cyanide salts to generate gaseous hydrogen cyanide.
The reaction is slower for dry, solid carboxylic acids.
Insoluble carboxylic acids react with solutions of cyanides to cause the release of gaseous hydrogen cyanide.

Wheat is no stranger in the Indian household.
While the refined variant - maida - is shunned upon by many, whole wheat flour is lovingly used to make a range of Indian breads like stuffed parathas, fluffy rotis, baturas and the like.

Experts have always said that the nutritional contents of wheat are mostly enclosed in the germ of the grain.
The more the grains are refined, the more we lose the benefits.
Wheat germ refers to the embryo of the seed, which germinates into a plant.

The germ is loaded with essential nutrients such as plant proteins, fiber, vitamins, minerals (phosphorus, zinc, iron, selenium and potassium) and fatty acids which have proven to be beneficial for hair, skin and overall health.
Wheat germ oil is extracted from the germ and is said to be equally as beneficial.

What wheat germ oil is good for?
Wheat germ oil has many benefits considering the components it has.
Following are some of the major wheat germ oil benefits that make it highly popular and useful for skin as well as overall health


#1 Anti-ageing
Wheat germ oil is considered to have a high content of omega-6 fatty acids.
Wheat germ oil also has a high antioxidant capacity due to the presence of vitamin E.
Vitamin E prevents oxidation reactions in biological membranes, strengthening them and protecting them from free radicals that cause damage to cells.
Wheat germ oil increases collagen production which leads to younger-looking skin by reducing wrinkles and other signs of ageing.
Wheat germ oil is also used as an emollient in many beauty products because it gives moisture to the skin when applied topically.


#2 Anti-oxidant
It has been discovered that wheat germ oil for skin penetrates into deeper layers of tissues increasing firmness and elasticity while removing toxins from muscles through acupuncture points acting as a detoxifying agent.
This leads to a decrease in signs of aging, such as wrinkles and other fine lines by stimulating collagen production which gives a youthful appearance.


#3 Blood pressure management
A high concentration of alpha-linolenic acid helps reduce blood pressure and increase nitric oxide production, providing your heart a more powerful pump and better circulation throughout your body.


#4 Anti-inflammatory
Wheat germ oil is able to reduce inflammation and ease the painful symptoms of osteoarthritis.
Wheat germ oil can also be used topically for muscle pain relief and itching caused by various conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis.


#5 Skin Moisturising
Wheat germ oil has a very light texture, which makes it able to be applied directly onto the skin without leaving a greasy residue behind.
Wheat germ oil penetrates easily into the deepest layers of the epidermis and moisturizes without clogging pores or causing allergic reactions.
Wheat germ oil can also regulate moisture levels, soothe irritated skin and restore its natural pH balance.


#6 Nourishment for skin

WHEAT GERM OIL Among the extensive range of beneficial oils available in the stores, a member to join the limelight in the recent years is wheat germ oil. Wheat is no stranger in the Indian household. While the refined variant - maida - is shunned upon by many, whole wheat flour is lovingly used to make a range of Indian breads like stuffed parathas, fluffy rotis, baturas and the like. Experts have always said that the nutritional contents of wheat are mostly enclosed in the germ of the grain. The more the grains are refined, the more we lose the benefits.Wheat germ refers to the embryo of the seed, which germinates into a plant. The germ is loaded with essential nutrients such as plant proteins, fiber, vitamins, minerals (phosphorus, zinc, iron, selenium and potassium) and fatty acids which have proven to be beneficial for hair, skin and overall health. Wheat germ oil is extracted from the germ and is said to be equally as beneficial. "Wheat germ oil (WG) is widely recognised as a nutritious raw material for incorporation into food product formulations or as a food in its own right. Typical applications are in germ-enriched bread, snack foods, and supplements to breakfast cereals, and for production of wheat-germ oil. Wheat germ oil, containing about 8% - 14% oil (average 10%), is mainly used in food, medical and cosmetic industries as a source of oil," as stated in a research paper done by Faculty of Agriculture of Fayoum University, Egypt. Here are a few benefits of wheat germ oil 1. A Rich Source of AntioxidantsWheat germ oil is a great source of Vitamin E, which is said to be a powerful antioxidant. "It helps fight against free radical damage. Coming from the centre of the wheat kernel, wheat germ oil is known for at least 23 odd nutrients, including Vitamins A, B, D and E," says Shonali Sabherwal, a Macrobiotic Nutritionist, Chef and Instructor based in Mumbai. These vitamins all contribute to various functions of the body, particularly skin health. "Vitamin E travels throughout the body neutralising free radicals which would otherwise damage fat-containing structures like cell membranes and brain cells," says Dr. Manoj K. Ahuja, Fortis Hospital. It also helps prevent oxidative stress. 2. A Great Face Cleanser "Wheat germ oil is a natural oil which helps in cleansing the face efficiently. It helps seal moisture back and also gets rid of excess sebum, which could lead to other skin problems like acne, pimples, etc. It does not clog pores as it is non-comedogenic,"says Shilpa Arora, a Health Practitioner, Nutritionist and certified Macrobiotic Health Coach based in New Delhi. A few drops of the oil can be used on your skin or added to your face packs or masks. You can also take a few drops and message gently onto your face and let it rest. Those with oily skin condition must get in touch with a skin care expert before applying the oil. 3. Lowers Cholesterol "It is rich in Octacosanol, which is a long chain fatty acid with alcohol that promotes and aids physical performance, including strength and stamina. Research also shows Octacosanol's ability to affect fat metabolism, decreases cholesterol production (helps to bring down LDL) and prevents hardening of arteries, which could account for the cardiovascular benefits," says Dr. Anju Sood, a renowned Nutritionist based in Bangalore. She further adds, "Wheat germ oil contains the goodness of omega-3 fatty acids, which help in regulating the nervous system systematically." cholesterol 4. Treats Skin Scars Because of its high Vitamin E content, wheat germ oil helps in building collagen, the most abundantly found protein in the body that provides the skin its strength and structure. "The oil repairs, heals and prevents scarring. In fact regular application on scars can completely banish them. Make sure the oil is 100% organic and cold pressed else it will lose most of its nutrients," says Shilpa. "Vitamin A, D and fatty acids present in wheat germ oil help with cracked, scarred skin, giving it an even tone. It also provides natural hydration to the skin," adds Shonali. 5. Acts as a Hair Nourisher Wheat germ oil is a useful ingredient for maintaining healthy hair. "It is rich in linoleic acid and acts as a hair nourisher. Use it in the ratio 10:1 with other carrier oils such as olive and sesame (10 parts carrier oil and 1 part wheat germ oil) and apply on the scalp. Leave it on for some time before rinsing the hair," says Dr Ashutosh Gautam, Clinical Operations and Coordination Manager at Baidyanath. Promoted Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com 6. Has Anti-Ageing Properties Being a great source of vitamins - B6, Folic acid and E, wheat germ oil is said to act as an anti-ageing agent for the skin. "Vitamin E is a strong anti-oxidant and it promotes healthy skin as it prevents many skin problems like psoriasis, eczema and dry skin. Vitamin B, on the other hand, helps in repairing tissue damage and promotes tissue growth," adds Dr. Sood. Note: If using wheat germ oil for consumption, it is advisable to do so in little quantities. You can use it to drizzle on to salads or in pastas, but it shouldn't be used for deep-frying.

Nutrition Facts The following nutrition information is provided by the USDA for one tablespoon of wheat germ oil. Carbs in Wheat Germ Oil There are no carbohydrates in wheat germ oil. That means there is no starch, no fiber, and no sugar (added or naturally occurring) in this product. Wheat germ oil has a glycemic index (GI) of zero, and if consumed, a single serving of the product also has a glycemic load of zero. That means that the food has no effect on your blood sugar levels. As a reference, foods with a GI of 55 or below are considered low glycemic foods. Fats in Wheat Germ Oil The fat in wheat germ oil is what makes this product popular among healthy eaters and beauty buffs. Wheat germ oil provides polyunsaturated fat, considered to be a "good" fat. Polyunsaturated fat is liquid at room temperature and may boost heart health when you use it to replace less healthy fat (like saturated fat) in your diet. There are two different kinds of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and wheat germ oil contains both of them. According to USDA data, you'll get 85 percent (just under 1 gram) of your daily recommended intake of α-linolenic acid (ALA) omega-3 fatty acids. And you'll get 62 percent (7 grams) of your recommended daily intake of linoleic acid or omega-6 fatty acids. You'll also get 2 grams of healthy monounsaturated fat in a single serving of wheat germ oil. You'll also get nearly 3 grams or 12 percent of your recommended daily intake of saturated fat, a fat that is considered to be less healthy.

Health Benefits The health benefits of wheat germ oil come primarily from the healthy fat that it provides. However, it is important to remember that all fat—even healthy fat—is energy dense.

So it is important to consume all fats in moderation if your goal is to reach or maintain a healthy weight.

Wool wax (from Latin lāna 'wool', and oleum 'oil'), also called wool fat, wool yolk, wool grease or Lanolin, is a wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals.
Wool wax used by humans comes from domestic sheep breeds that are raised specifically for their wool.
Historically, many pharmacopoeias have referred to Wool wax as wool fat (adeps lanae); however, as Wool wax lacks glycerides (glycerol esters), it is not a true fat.

Wool wax primarily consists of sterol esters instead.
Wool wax's waterproofing property aids sheep in shedding water from their coats.
Certain breeds of sheep produce large amounts of Wool wax.

Wool wax is a principle component of Wool wax, which is a natural product obtained from the fleece of sheep.
Wool wax is found in steroid-containing creams/ointments, medicated shampoos, veterinary products, hand lotions, moisturizers, sunscreens, self-tanning creams, lipsticks, makeup removers, foundations, eye shadows, hairsprays, shaving creams, baby oils and products, printing inks, furniture and shoe polishes, lubricants, leather, and paper.

Wool wax's role in nature is to protect wool and skin from climate and the environment.
Wool wax also plays a role in skin (integumental) hygiene.
Wool wax and its derivatives are used in the protection, treatment, and beautification of human skin

Wool wax is a yellow fat obtained from sheep's wool.
Wool wax is used as an emollient, cosmetic, and pharmaceutic aid.
The US federal code of regulations states that Wool wax in the concentration range of 12-50% may be included in over the counter skin ointments.

Wool wax is the purified, secreted product of the sheep sebaceous glands.
Wool wax primarily consists of long-chain waxy esters, or sterol esters, that lack glycerides.
For this reason, Wool wax is also called Lanolin or wool grease.

Wool wax is used in the protection, treatment, and cosmetic enhancement of human skin.
Wool wax hydrophobic properties can help protect skin against infections or skin irritation, as Wool wax helps seal in moisture that is already present in the skin.

Wool wax is used as an active ingredient in over the counter topical products such as ointments, lubricants, lotions and facial cosmetics.
Wool wax is also frequently used in protective baby skin treatment and for sore nipples in breastfeeding mothers,.

Wool wax is also frequently used in protective baby skin treatment and for sore nipples in breastfeeding mothers.

Wool wax is a waxy substance that sheep naturally produce to protect their wool.
Because Wool wax's properties are similar to those of the sebum (oil) secreted by human skin, Wool wax is a popular ingredient in moisturizers, hair care products, and soaps.
Wool wax is also widely promoted as a natural remedy for sore nipples due to breastfeeding.

The Wool wax in the products you buy comes from sheep raised for their wool.
Wool wax also goes by the names wool grease, wool yolk, and Lanolin.

Wool wax oil is a secretion from sheep’s skin.
Wool wax is similar to human sebum, an oil secreted by the sebaceous glands that you may notice particularly on your nose.

Unlike sebum, Wool wax contains no triglycerides.
Wool wax is sometimes referred to as “wool fat,” but the term is misleading because Wool wax lacks triglycerides needed to be considered a fat.

The purpose of Wool wax is to condition and protect sheep’s wool.
This conditioning property is why the substance is now widely used in human cosmetics, skin care, and hair products.

Wool wax oil is extracted by putting sheep’s wool through a centrifuge machine that separates the oil from other chemicals and debris.
The process is performed after the sheep is sheared so the extraction of Wool wax causes no harm to sheep.

You may already be using products that contain Wool wax oil without realizing Wool wax.
Many medicine cabinet staples including lip balms, lotions, and nipple creams contain the amber-colored substance loved for Wool wax moisturizing ability.

Wool wax is a waxy substance derived mainly from the wool of sheep.
The sheep’s sebaceous glands produce this “wool wax” to help shed water and keep the sheep dry.
Wool wax is extracted by putting the wool through a centrifuge machine that separates the oil from other chemicals and debris.

Growing Popularity of Wool wax:
Wool wax is used in an array of products like pharmaceuticals, leather, textiles, baby and men’s care products, bio-lubricants, and nearly all types of cosmetics marketed to women.
While pharmaceutical-grade Wool wax is the lion’s share of the market today, the growing demand for natural and organic ingredients in personal care products is driving Wool wax market growth, which is expected to be worth more than $450 million USD by 2024.

In beauty products, specifically, Wool wax gives lipsticks heavy gloss and high-shine.
Formulations like these are about 5-10% Wool wax by weight.

Wool wax may also appear in cosmetics as modified versions of Wool wax oil.
Lanfrax, for instance, is the trade name of a Wool wax oil compound that has polyethylene glycol attached to Wool wax to make it more water-soluble.
Accounting for these modified versions of Wool wax, Wool wax and its derivatives may account for approximately 15-25% of the weight of a given lipstick.

So, though the production of Wool wax seems innocent enough because the process happens after the sheep are shorn, and seems like Wool wax should be a natural byproduct of the wool industry, Wool wax is a major industry of its own.
The only way to sustain the accelerating levels of Wool wax production is by being inextricably linked to mass-produced wool, which is a slaughter industry with inhumane practices.
Because the Wool wax industry relies directly on mass-produced wool, Wool wax also supports cruelty.

Composition of Wool wax:
A typical high-purity grade of Wool wax is composed predominantly of long chain waxy esters (approximately 97% by weight) with the remainder being Wool wax alcohols, Wool wax acids and Wool wax hydrocarbons.
An estimated 8,000 to 20,000 different types of Wool wax esters are present in Wool wax, resulting from combinations between the 200 or so different Wool wax acids and the 100 or so different Wool wax alcohols identified so far.

Wool wax’s complex composition of long-chain esters, hydroxyesters, diesters, Wool wax alcohols, and Wool wax acids means in addition to its being a valuable product in Wool wax own right, Wool wax is also the starting point for the production of a whole spectrum of Wool wax derivatives, which possess wide-ranging chemical and physical properties.
The main derivatisation routes include hydrolysis, fractional solvent crystallisation, esterification, hydrogenation, alkoxylation and quaternisation.
Wool wax derivatives obtained from these processes are used widely in both high-value cosmetics and skin treatment products.

Hydrolysis of Wool wax yields Wool wax alcohols and Wool wax acids.
Wool wax alcohols are a rich source of cholesterol (an important skin lipid) and are powerful water-in-oil emulsifiers; they have been used extensively in skincare products for over 100 years.

Approximately 40% of the acids derived from Wool wax are alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs).
The use of AHAs in skin care products has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years.
Details of the AHAs isolated from Wool wax can be seen in the table below.

Production of Wool wax:
Crude Wool wax constitutes about 5–25% of the weight of freshly shorn wool.
The wool from one Merino sheep will produce about 250–300 ml of recoverable wool grease.

Wool wax is extracted by washing the wool in hot water with a special wool scouring detergent to remove dirt, wool grease (crude Wool wax), suint (sweat salts), and anything else stuck to the wool.
The wool grease is continuously removed during this washing process by centrifuge separators, which concentrate Wool wax into a waxlike substance melting at approximately 38 °C (100 °F).

Applications
Wool wax and its many derivatives are used extensively in both the personal care (e.g., high value cosmetics, facial cosmetics, lip products) and health care sectors such as topical liniments.
Wool wax is also found in lubricants, rust-preventive coatings, shoe polish, and other commercial products.

Wool wax is a relatively common allergen and is often misunderstood as a wool allergy.
However, allergy to a Wool wax-containing product is difficult to pinpoint and often other products containing Wool wax may be fine for use.

Patch testing can be done if a Wool wax allergy is suspected.
Wool wax is frequently used in protective baby skin treatment and for sore nipples from breastfeeding although health authorities do not recommend it, advise against nipple cleaning and rather recommend improving baby positioning and expressing milk by hand.

Wool wax is used commercially in many industrial products ranging from rustproof coatings to lubricants.
Some sailors use Wool wax to create slippery surfaces on their propellers and stern gear to which barnacles cannot adhere.

Commercial products (e.g. Lanocote) containing up to 85% Wool wax are used to prevent corrosion in marine fasteners, especially when two different metals are in contact with each other and saltwater.
The water-repellent properties make Wool wax valuable in many applications as a lubricant grease where corrosion would otherwise be a problem.

7-Dehydrocholesterol from Wool wax is used as a raw material for producing vitamin D3 by irradiation with ultraviolet light.
Baseball players often use Wool wax to soften and break in their baseball gloves (shaving cream with Wool wax is popularly used for this).

Anhydrous liquid Wool wax, combined with parabens, has been used in trials as artificial tears to treat dry eye.
Anhydrous Wool wax is also used as a lubricant for brass instrument tuning slides.

Wool wax can also be restored to woollen garments to make them water and dirt repellent, such as for cloth diaper covers.
Wool wax is also used in lip balm products such as Carmex.

For some people, Wool wax can irritate the lips.
Wool wax is sometimes used by people on continuous positive airway pressure therapy to reduce irritation with masks, particular nasal pillow masks that can often create sore spots in the nostrils.

Wool wax is a popular additive to moustache wax, particularly 'extra-firm' varieties.
Wool wax is used as a primary lubricating component in aerosol-based brass lubricants in the ammunition reloading process.

Mixed warm 1:12 with highly concentrated ethanol (usually 99%), the ethanol acts as a carrier which evaporates quickly after application, leaving a fine film of Wool wax behind to prevent brass seizing in resizing dies.
Wool wax, when mixed with ingredients such as neatsfoot oil, beeswax and glycerol, is used in various leather treatments, for example in some saddle soaps and in leather care products.

Benefits of Wool wax:
Wool wax is classified as an occlusive moisturizer.
This means Wool wax works by reducing water loss from the skin, similar to petroleum jelly.

While petroleum can reduce the evaporation of skin's moisture by 98%, Wool wax reduces it by between 20% and 30%.
However, many people like that Wool wax isn't as heavy as petroleum jelly, making Wool wax more pleasant to use.

In skincare products, there's no hard evidence showing Wool wax is better than synthetic waxes.
If you like using natural products, though, you may prefer Wool wax over synthetics.

Wool wax is in a wide variety of over-the-counter (OTC) products.

They include:
Eye creams
Hemorrhoid medication
Lip balm
Lotions and creams for dry skin
Makeup and makeup removers
Medicated shampoos
Mustache wax
Shaving cream
Baby oil
Diaper rash cream

Wool wax for Breastfeeding and Sore Nipples:
During breastfeeding, your nipples may become sore, dry, and even cracked.
Many healthcare providers recommend Wool wax creams to ease nipple pain from breastfeeding.

A big benefit is that it's generally considered safe for your baby to ingest small amounts of Wool wax.
Wool wax 's recommended that you use it at least ten minutes before you start breastfeeding.
But unlike other products, you don't need to wipe Wool wax off.

Wool wax 's also safe to give your baby breastmilk expressed while Wool wax is on your nipples. (Again, wait about 10 minutes after application before you begin pumping.)

Research into Wool wax for nipple pain has been mixed.

A 2018 Brazilian study suggested significant improvements in nipple pain and trauma in participants who used Wool wax compared to those who rubbed in breastmilk (another common remedy for nipple soreness).

However, other research on Wool wax effectiveness has been lackluster.

A 2014 review of studies concluded that evidence is insufficient that Wool wax relieves nipple pain.
Research in 2017 reported participants were happier with the results of Wool wax cream than with other products, but Wool wax didn't lessen nipple pain or make continued breastfeeding more likely.
A 2021 study said Wool wax wasn't clear whether Wool wax (combined with education about breastfeeding) helped prevent nipple pain.

Wool wax oil is known as an emollient, which means Wool wax helps soothe dry or dehydrated skin.
A 2017 studyTrusted Source indicated that Wool wax can reduce water lost through the skin by 20 to 30 percent.
Simply put, Wool wax is extremely hydrating and has the ability to soften skin to help improve the appearance and the feel of rough, dry, or flaky areas.

Wool wax ’s Cruelty-free:
If you’re ready to clean up your skincare routine, Wool wax is a must.
Wool wax is a by-product of wool washing after shearing, meaning no sheep are harmed in the process.

In fact, if sheep aren’t sheared, their fleece will become solid, too hot and heavy for them so they must be shorn whether we use Wool wax or not.
That’s why our Wool wax is cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny Certified.

Wool wax Provides Dual Benefits:
Wool wax is unique because it is incredibly hydrating without ever feeling sticky.
Wool wax has the dual benefit of being both semi-occlusive and semi-permeable, meaning Wool wax allows your skin to self-hydrate from within while acting as a breathable skin barrier.
These two qualities make Wool wax an incredibly versatile ingredient that is ideal for hydrating dry, flaky skin.

Wool wax Offers The Ultimate In Hydration:
Wool wax can hold up to 400% of its weight in moisture, so you know Wool wax can quench your skin’s thirst.
Another part of the reason why Wool wax is an effective moisturizer is that Wool wax is scientifically proven to mimic lipids in human skin extremely closely.
Your skin will instantly welcome the added hydration!

Wool wax Can Be Used For More Than Cosmetics:
While we love Wool wax for lips and can’t get enough of Wool wax hand cream, this hero ingredient can also be used for more than cosmetics.
Because of Wool wax similarity to the skin’s own oils, doctors often recommend Wool wax to help protect burns and mothers can use Wool wax with nursing infants.

Standards And Legislation About Wool wax:
In addition to general purity requirements, Wool wax must meet official requirements for the permissible levels of pesticide residues.
The Fifth Supplement of the United States Pharmacopoeia XXII published in 1992 was the first to specify limits for 34 named pesticides.

A total limit of 40 ppm (i.e. 40 mg/kg) total pesticides was stipulated for Wool wax of general use, with no individual limit greater than 10 ppm.
A second monograph also introduced into the US Pharmacopoeia XXII in 1992 was entitled 'Modified Wool wax'.

Wool wax conforming to this monograph is intended for use in more exacting applications, for example on open wounds.
In this monograph, the limit of total pesticides was reduced to 3 ppm total pesticides, with no individual limit greater than 1 ppm.

In 2000, the European Pharmacopoeia introduced pesticide residue limits into its Wool wax monograph.
This requirement, which is generally regarded as the new quality standard, extends the list of pesticides to 40 and imposes even lower concentration limits.

Some very high-purity grades of Wool wax surpass monograph requirements.
New products obtained using complex purification techniques produce Wool wax esters in their natural state, removing oxidative and environmental impurities resulting in white, odourless, hypoallergenic Wool wax.

These ultra-high-purity grades of Wool wax are ideally suited to the treatment of dermatological disorders such as eczema and on open wounds.

Wool wax attracted attention owing to a misunderstanding concerning Wool wax sensitising potential.
A study carried out at New York University Hospital in the early 1950s had shown about 1% of patients with dermatological disorders were allergic to the Wool wax being used at that time.

By one estimate, this simple misunderstanding of failing to differentiate between the general healthy population and patients with dermatological disorders exaggerates the sensitising potential of Wool wax by 5,000–6,000 times.

The European Cosmetics Directive, introduced in July 1976, contained a stipulation that cosmetics which contained Wool wax should be labelled to that effect.
This ruling was challenged immediately, and in the early 1980s, it was overturned and removed from the directive.

Despite only being in force for a short period of time, this ruling did harm both to the Wool wax industry and to the reputation of Wool wax in general.
The Cosmetics Directive ruling only applied to the presence of Wool wax in cosmetic products; Wool wax did not apply to the many hundreds of its different uses in dermatological products designed for the treatment of compromised skin conditions.
Modern analytical methods have revealed Wool wax possesses a number of important chemical and physical similarities to human stratum corneum lipids; the lipids which help regulate the rate of water loss across the epidermis and govern the hydration state of the skin.

Cryogenic scanning electron microscopy has shown that Wool wax, like human stratum corneum lipids, consists of a mass of liquid crystalline material.
Cross-polarised light microscopy has shown the multilamellar vesicles formed by Wool wax are identical to those formed by human stratum corneum lipids.

The incorporation of bound water into the stratum corneum involves the formation of multilamellar vesicles.

Skin bioengineering studies have shown the durational effect of the emollient (skin smoothing) action produced by Wool wax is very significant and lasts for many hours.
Wool wax applied to the skin at 2 mg/cm2 has been shown to reduce roughness by about 35% after one hour and 50% after two hours, with the overall effect lasting for considerably more than eight hours.

Wool wax is also known to form semiocclusive (breathable) films on the skin.
When applied daily at around 4 mg/cm2 for five consecutive days, the positive moisturising effects of Wool wax were detectable until 72 hours after final application.

Wool wax may achieve some of its moisturising effects by forming a secondary moisture reservoir within the skin.
The barrier repair properties of Wool wax have been reported to be superior to those produced by both petrolatum and glycerol.

In a small clinical study conducted on volunteer subjects with terribly dry (xerotic) hands, Wool wax was shown to be superior to petrolatum in reducing the signs and symptoms of dryness and scaling, cracks and abrasions, and pain and itch.
In another study, a high purity grade of Wool wax was found to be significantly superior to petrolatum in assisting the healing of superficial wounds.

Manufacturing Methods of Wool wax:
Wool wax is manufacturing by extraction from sheep wool by scouring with dilute alkali, centrifuging, and refining (for the purer grades) via treatment with hot aqueous alkali and then a bleaching agent.

Wool wax is manufacturing by purifying the fatty matter (suint) obtained from the wool of the sheep.
This natural wool fat contains about 30% of free fatty acids and fatty acid esters of cholesterol and other higher alcohols.

The cholesterol compounds are the important constituents, and to secure these in a purified form, many processes have been devised.
In one of these the crude wool fat is treated with weak alkali and the saponified fats and emulsions are centrifuged to secure the aqueous soap solution, from which, on standing, a layer of partially purified wool fat separates.

Wool wax is further purified by treating it with calcium chloride and then dehydrated by fusion with unslaked lime.
Wool wax is finally extracted with acetone, and the solvent subsequently separated by distillation.

Wool wax is obtained by one of the following methods:
1. Solvent extraction of wool fleece.
2. Scouring of wool with soap or neutral detergent followed by:

a. Centrifugation of the resulting emulsion.
This may introduce small amounts of detergents as impurities in the Wool wax.
b. breaking of the emulsion with acid, or production of foam (with air) and collection of the froth.

Xanthan Gum E code is (E 415).
It’s xanthan gum, a food additive that you’ve probably never heard of but likely consume several times a week.
Moreover, Xanthan Gum’s popularity as a supplement and common ingredient in gluten-free products is growing.


Xanthan Gum may even have health benefits, like lowering cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
Xanthan Gum’s created when sugar is fermented by a type of bacteria called Xanthomonas campestris.
When sugar is fermented, Xanthan Gum creates a broth or goo-like substance, which is made solid by adding an alcohol.


Xanthan Gum is then dried and turned into a powder.
When xanthan gum powder is added to a liquid, Xanthan Gum quickly disperses and creates a viscous and stable solution.
This makes it a great thickening, suspending and stabilizing agent for many products.


Xanthan Gum was discovered by scientists in 1963.
Since then, Xanthan Gum has been well researched and determined safe.
Therefore, the FDA has approved as a food additive and placed no limitations on the amount of xanthan gum a food can contain.


Even though it’s made in a lab, Xanthan Gum’s a soluble fiber.
Xanthan Gum is soluble fibers are carbs that your body cannot breakdown.
Instead, they absorb water and turn into a gel-like substance in your digestive system, which slows digestion.


Therefore, your body is unable to digest xanthan gum, and it does not provide any calories or nutrients.

Xanthan gum, a microbial heteropolysaccharide, basically consists of a main polymer skeleton with 1,4-linked β-D-glucose units as in cellulose.


In the side chains attached to this skeleton, there is a trisaccharide consisting of a D-glucorinic acid residue between two D-mannose residues.
The polymer also contains 4.7% of O-acetyl groups and 3.0-3.5% of pyruvic acid, which is a ketal in the glucose unit.
These side chains, which are found in xanthan gum and make up about 60% of the molecule, can impart many physical and chemical properties specific to xanthan gamma.


Due to its side chains, xanthan gum can be fully hydrated even in the cold chain.
It is further stated that these side chains make the xanthan gum resistant to hydrolysis.

Xanthan Gum was first discovered in the early 1960s by researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) who were studying a strain of bacteria called Xanthomonas campestris.


This strain of bacteria is commonly found in soil and on plant surfaces, and can cause a variety of plant diseases.
The researchers found that when they grew the Xanthomonas campestris bacteria in a culture medium containing simple sugars like glucose or sucrose, the bacteria produced a slimy substance that could thicken and stabilize liquids.


They later identified this substance as xanthan gum.
Xanthan gum, also known as E415, is a natural polysaccharide with a high molecular weight containing mainly glucose, mannose and glucuronic acid.

Pseudoplastic fluid type feature; It also contributes significantly to the formation of properties that affect many sensory qualities such as mouthfeel, perception of taste and suspension formation.
Another distinctive feature of Xanthan gum that distinguishes it from other gums is that it is highly resistant to temperature and pH.


It has been stated that this durability is due to the side chains in the xanthan molecule wrapping around the cellulose skeleton.
This feature is the xanthan gamut; It makes it resistant to degradation that may occur as a result of enzymes, acids, bases, high temperatures, freezing and thawing and prolonged mixing.


The interaction of these trisaccharide chains with the main chain turns the molecule into a highly rigid rod and tremendously increases its heat, acid and base stability.
Its molecular weight is around 2 million, and larger values ​​are reported, probably due to aggregation.
The xanthans with the highest pyruvic acid content have the highest viscosity and thermal stability.


Xanthan gum solutions;
It is generally unaffected by changes in pH and dissolves in most acids and bases.

WHAT ARE XANTHAN GUM'S PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES?
Among its most distinctive features is its solubility in both cold and hot water.
The feature here is due to the polyelectrolyte properties of Xanthan Gum.
Xanthan Gum is insoluble in organic solvents.
Xanthan Gum can be added up to 50% level into Isopropyl Alcohol, Methyl Alcohol , Ethyl Alcohol and Acetone.



WHERE IS XANTHAN GUM FOUND?
Xanthan gum is found in food, personal care and industrial products.
-Food Products:
Xanthan gum can improve the texture, consistency, flavor, shelf life and appearance of many foods.
Xanthan Gum also stabilizes foods, helping certain foods withstand different temperatures and pH levels.
Additionally, Xanthan Gum prevents foods from separating and allows them to flow smoothly out of their containers.
Xanthan Gum’s used frequently in gluten-free cooking since it can provide the elasticity and fluffiness that gluten gives traditional baked goods.

The following are some common foods that contain xanthan gum:
*Salad dressings
*Bakery products
*Fruit juices
*Soups
*Ice creams
*Sauces and gravies
*Syrups
*Gluten-free products
*Low-fat foods
*Personal Care Products

Xanthan gum is also found in many personal care and beauty products.
Xanthan Gum allows these products to be thick, but still flow easily out of their containers.
Xanthan Gum also allows solid particles to be suspended in liquids.



SHEAR THINNING OF XANTHAN GUM:
The viscosity of xanthan gum solutions decreases with higher shear rates.
This is called shear thinning or pseudoplasticity.
This means that a product subjected to shear, whether from mixing, shaking or chewing will thin.
When the shear forces are removed, the food will thicken again.
In salad dressing, the addition of xanthan gum makes it thick enough at rest in the bottle to keep the mixture fairly homogeneous, but the shear forces generated by shaking and pouring thins it, so it can be easily poured.
When it exits the bottle, the shear forces are removed and Xanthan Gum thickens again, so it clings to the salad.



AMOUNTS USED OF XANTHAN GUM:
The greater the ratio of xanthan gum added to a liquid, the thicker the liquid will become.
An emulsion can be formed with as little as 0.1% (by weight).
Increasing the amount of gum gives a thicker, more stable emulsion up to 1% xanthan gum.
A teaspoon of xanthan gum weighs about 2.5 grams and brings one cup (250 ml) of water to a 1% concentration.
To make a foam, 0.2–0.8% xanthan gum is typically used.
Larger amounts result in larger bubbles and denser foam.
Egg white powder (0.2–2.0%) with 0.1–0.4% xanthan gum yields bubbles similar to soap bubbles.



HOW IS XANTHAN GUM PRODUCED?
Xanthan Gum production occurs when the sugar is fermented by a type of bacteria called Xanthomonas campestris.
In the production process here, when sugar is fermented, a broth-like substance is formed and after the drying phase it is pulverized.
Xanthan Gum powder disperses quickly when added to a liquid, forming a viscous, yet stable solution.

This feature adds thickening, suspending and stabilizing agent properties for many products.
To produce Xanthan Gum, X Campestris needs a variety of nutrients, including micronutrients (Examples; Potassium, Iron and Calcium Salts) and macronutrients such as carbon and Nitrogen.
Glucose and sucrose are the most commonly used carbon sources in the production of this chemical.

In the production of Xanthan Gum (Xanthan Gum), the concentration of the carbon source affects the yield in the reaction.
In the production of Xanthan Gum (Xanthan Gum), 2%-4% concentration is preferred.
Substrate concentrations above this inhibit growth.
Nitrogen, an essential nutrient, is supplied either as an organic compound or as an inorganic molecule.



COMMERCIAL XANTHAN GUM PRODUCTION:
The commercial production of xanthan gum involves fermenting a sugar source with the Xanthomonas campestris bacteria in large-scale fermentation tanks.
The steps involved in the production process are as follows:
*Inoculation:
The Xanthomonas campestris bacteria are first grown in a small culture and then transferred to a larger fermenter vessel.

*Fermentation:
The bacteria are grown in a liquid medium containing a sugar source such as glucose, sucrose, or lactose.
The fermentation process takes place under controlled conditions of temperature, pH, and oxygen level.

*Separation:
Once the fermentation is complete, the gellan gum is separated from the bacterial biomass and the fermentation medium.
This is typically done using a series of filtration and centrifugation steps.

*Purification:
Once the fermentation is complete, the mixture is heated to stop the growth of bacteria, and the xanthan gum is extracted from the liquid by precipitation with alcohol or isopropanol.
The xanthan gum is then washed and dried to create a fine powder.

*Milling and Packaging:
The dried xanthan gum is milled into a fine powder and packaged into bags or drums for distribution.
The quality of the xanthan gum depends on factors such as the type of sugar source used, the fermentation conditions, and the purification process.
The resulting xanthan gum powder is used as a food additive in a variety of applications, such as thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying.



PREPARATION OF XANTHAN GUM:
Xanthan gum is produced by the fermentation of glucose and sucrose.
The medium is well-aerated and stirred, and the xanthan polymer is produced extracellularly into the medium.
After one to four days, the polymer is precipitated from the medium by the addition of isopropyl alcohol, and the precipitate is dried and milled to give a powder that is readily soluble in water or brine.
Xanthan Gum is composed of pentasaccharide repeat units, comprising glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid in the molar ratio 2:2:1.
A strain of X. campestris has been developed that will grow on lactose - which allows it to be used to process whey, a waste product of cheese production.
This can produce 30 g/L of xanthan gum for every 40 g/L of whey powder.



OTHER HEALTH BENEFITS OF XANTHAN GUM:
Xanthan gum has been linked to other potential health benefits, though these benefits are unlikely to occur without taking supplements.
Some potential health benefits of xanthan gum include:
*Lower cholesterol:
A study had five men consume 10 times the recommended amount of xanthan gum per day for 23 days.
Subsequent blood tests found that their cholesterol decreased by 10%.

*Weight loss:
People have noted increased fullness after consuming xanthan gum.
Xanthan Gum may increase fullness by delaying stomach emptying and slowing digestion.

*Improved regularity:
Xanthan gum increases the movement of water into the intestines to create a softer, bulkier stool that’s easier to pass.
Studies have found that it significantly increases the frequency and amount of stool.

*Thickens liquids:
Xanthan Gum is used to thicken liquids for those who have difficulty swallowing, such as older adults or people with neurological disorders.
*Saliva substitute:
Xanthan Gum is sometimes used as a saliva substitute for individuals suffering from dry mouth, but studies on its effectiveness have found mixed results.



HOW DOES XANTHAN GUM WORK?
Xanthan gum swells in the intestine, which stimulates the intestine to push stool through.
Xanthan Gum also seems to slow the absorption of sugar from the digestive tract.



XANTHAN GUM MAY LOWER BLOOD SUGAR:
Several studies have found that xanthan gum can lower blood sugar when consumed in large doses.
Xanthan Gum’s believed that it turns fluids in your stomach and small intestine into a viscous, gel-like substance.
This slows digestion and affects how quickly sugar enters your bloodstream, decreasing blood sugar spikes after eating.

One 12-week study had nine men with diabetes and four without diabetes eat a daily muffin.
For six weeks of the study, the men ate muffins without xanthan gum.
For the other 6 weeks, they ate muffins containing 12 grams of it.

The participants’ blood sugars were tested regularly, and both fasting and after-meal blood sugar levels in the men with diabetes were significantly lower when consuming the muffins with xanthan gum.
Another study in 11 women found that blood sugars were significantly lower after consuming rice with added xanthan gum, compared to consuming rice without it.



HISTORY OF XANTHAN GUM:
Xanthan gum was discovered by Allene Rosalind Jeanes and her research team at the United States Department of Agriculture, and brought into commercial production by CP Kelco under the trade name Kelzan in the early 1960s.
Xanthan Gum was approved for use in foods in 1968 and is accepted as a safe food additive in the USA, Canada, European countries, and many other countries, with E number E415, and CAS number 11138-66-2.
Xanthan gum derives its name from the species of bacteria used during the fermentation process, Xanthomonas campestris.



DETAIL OF THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF XANTHAN GUM:
Synthesis originates from glucose as substrate for synthesis of the sugar nucleotides precursors UDP-glucose, UDP-glucuronate, and GDP-mannose that are required for building the pentasaccharide repeat unit.
This links the synthesis of xanthan to carbohydrate metabolism.

The repeat units are built up at undecaprenylphosphate lipid carriers that are anchored in the cytoplasmic membrane.
Specific glycosyltransferases sequentially transfer the sugar moieties of the nucleotide sugar xanthan precursors to the lipid carriers.
Acetyl and pyruvyl residues are added as non-carbohydrate decorations.
Mature repeat units are polymerized and exported in a way resembling the Wzy-dependent polysaccharide synthesis mechanism of Enterobacteriaceae.
Products of the gum gene cluster drive synthesis, polymerization, and export of the repeat unit.

SYNONYMS:
Gum xanthan

DESCRIPTION:
Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide with many industrial uses, including as a common food additive.
Xanthan gum is an effective thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer that prevents ingredients from separating.
Xanthan gum can be produced from simple sugars using a fermentation process and derives its name from the species of bacteria used, Xanthomonas campestris.

CAS number 11138-66-2
EC Number: 234-394-2

Xanthan gum is a popular food additive that’s commonly added to foods as a thickener or stabilizer.
Xanthan gum is created when sugar is fermented by a type of bacteria called Xanthomonas campestris.
When sugar is fermented, Xanthan gum creates a broth or goo-like substance, which is made solid by adding an alcohol.
Xanthan gum is then dried and turned into a powder.

When xanthan gum powder is added to a liquid, Xanthan gum quickly disperses and creates a viscous and stable solution.
This makes Xanthan gum a great thickening, suspending and stabilizing agent for many products.

Xanthan gum was discovered by scientists in 1963.
Since then, Xanthan gum has been well researched and determined safe.
Therefore, the FDA has approved Xanthan gum as a food additive and placed no limitations on the amount of xanthan gum a food can contain.

Even though Xanthan gum is made in a lab, Xanthan gum is a soluble fiber.
Soluble fibers are carbs that your body cannot breakdown.

Instead, they absorb water and turn into a gel-like substance in your digestive system, which slows digestion

Xanthan gum is a chain of sugar building blocks made by fermenting simple sugars with a specific kind of bacteria.
Xanthan gum is sometimes used to make medicine.
Xanthan gum is used for diabetes, constipation, dry eye, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses.
In manufacturing, xanthan gum is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in foods, toothpastes, and medicines.

Xanthan gum is a substance used in making some foods and medications.
Xanthan gum has different effects in these products: Xanthan gum can add thickness, keep textures from changing, and hold ingredients in place.

Xanthan gum is found in many types of medicines. These include:
• Tablets that slowly break down in the body
• Liquid drops for the eyes
Xanthan gum is produced by fermenting a carbohydrate (a substance that contains sugar) with Xanthomonas campestris bacteria, then processing it.

An additive used as a thickener, stabiliser and emulsifier, xanthan gum is made when strains of the Xanthomonas campestris bacteria are fed a solution of glucose that's been derived from corn, soy, dairy or wheat.
The bacteria ferments the sugary solution, and as a result develops a sticky protective coat that has a consistency that makes Xanthan gum suitable for binding and thickening.
It's these properties that make xanthan gum useful in food production – most notably in gluten-free baking, where Xanthan gum helps starches combine and improves the texture, rise and shelf-life of gluten-free bakes.

Xanthan gum is also used in numerous household products, from wallpaper paste to cosmetics.
Xanthan Gum is a plant-based thickening and stabilizing agent and food additive.
Xanthan gum is named for the bacteria, Xanthomonas campestris, which plays a crucial role in this description.
Technically speaking, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide, which is just a fancy way to say "a string of multiple sugars."

To create xanthan gum, the Xanthomonas campestris bacterium is allowed to ferment on a sugar.
The result is a gel that is then dried and milled to create the powder substance.
Xanthan gum has a number of powerful properties as a food additive.

First, Xanthan gum works as an emulsifier, encouraging liquids that normally don't like one another to mix together.
Second, Xanthan gum works as thickener, increasing the viscosity of liquids and batters.
Third, Xanthan gum can create a creamy texture in items like ice cream and salad dressings.

In the world of gluten-free baking, xanthan gum plays the crucial role of imitating gluten.
In baking, gluten is what makes dough "doughy."
Xanthan gum gives the dough elasticity, as well as viscosity.

Those properties help to hold a cookie together while it bakes on a sheet in the oven, and they enable cakes and breads to hold onto the gas bubbles that form inside them.
This allows them to rise and take shape.
Xanthan gum helps replicate these properties in recipes that do not contain gluten, like delicious cinnamon rolls that are gluten free.


PRODUCTION OF XANTHAN GUM:
Xanthan gum is derived naturally from X. campestris, which is a plant pathogen, being responsible for diseases such as black rot in brassica crops (e.g., cauliflower and cabbage).
The gum is produced when sugar, commonly from corn, wheat, or soy, is fermented by X. campestris.
The gum is then processed, through pasteurization, drying, and milling, to create a fine white powder or, occasionally, granules.
The final product, a kind of hydrocolloid, disperses and creates a gel when added to water.


HISTORY OF XANTHAN GUM:
Xanthan gum was discovered by Allene Rosalind Jeanes and her research team at the United States Department of Agriculture, and brought into commercial production by CP Kelco under the trade name Kelzan in the early 1960s.
Xanthan gum was approved for use in foods in 1968 and is accepted as a safe food additive in the US, Canada, European countries, and many other countries, with E number E415, and CAS number 11138-66-2.

Xanthan gum derives its name from the species of bacteria used during the fermentation process, Xanthomonas campestris.

USES OF XANTHAN GUM:
Xanthan gum, 1%, can produce a significant increase in the viscosity of a liquid.
In foods, xanthan gum is common in salad dressings and sauces.
Xanthan gum helps to prevent oil separation by stabilizing the emulsion, although Xanthan gum is not an emulsifier.

Xanthan gum also helps suspend solid particles, such as spices.
Xanthan gum helps create the desired texture in many ice creams.
Toothpaste often contains xanthan gum as a binder to keep the product uniform.

Xanthan gum also helps thicken commercial egg substitutes made from egg whites, to replace the fat and emulsifiers found in yolks.
Xanthan gum is also a preferred method of thickening liquids for those with swallowing disorders, since it does not change the color or flavor of foods or beverages at typical use levels.
In gluten-free baking, xanthan gum is used to give the dough or batter the stickiness that would otherwise be achieved with gluten.
In most foods Xanthan gum is used at concentrations of 0.5% or less.

Xanthan gum is used in a wide range of food products, such as sauces, dressings, meat and poultry products, bakery products, confectionery products, beverages, dairy products, and others.
In the oil industry, xanthan gum is used in large quantities to thicken drilling mud.
These fluids carry the solids cut by the drilling bit to the surface.

Xanthan gum provides great "low end" rheology.
When circulation stops, the solids remain suspended in the drilling fluid.
The widespread use of horizontal drilling and the demand for good control of drilled solids has led to its expanded use.
Xanthan gum has been added to concrete poured underwater, to increase its viscosity and prevent washout.

In cosmetics, xanthan gum is used to prepare water gels.
Xanthan gum is also used in oil-in-water emulsions to enhance droplet coalescence.
Xanthan gum is under preliminary research for its potential uses in tissue engineering to construct hydrogels and scaffolds supporting three-dimensional tissue formation.
Furthermore, thiolated xanthan gum (see thiomers) has shown potential for drug delivery, since by the covalent attachment of thiol groups to this polysaccharide high mucoadhesive and permeation enhancing properties can be introduced.

Xanthan gum is used in food production to improve the texture, consistency and shelf-life of foods such as salad dressings, soups, sauces and baked goods.
Xanthan gum is particularly useful for those with coeliac disease or non-coeliac gluten sensitivity who must follow a gluten-free diet.

This is because gluten-free substitutes for wheat flour need additives like xanthan gum to achieve a product that resembles the texture, crumb and lightness of regular bakes.
Xanthan gum does this by thickening and binding starches to help trap air and mimic the elastic properties of gluten.
Xanthan gum is purchased in powder form and dissolves easily in water.

Xanthan gum is not just found in the kitchen, however – you’ll also find it in your bathroom cabinet. Items like toothpaste, face creams, shampoos and body lotions may all contain xanthan gum.
Xanthan gum helps emulsify and thicken these products, making them more visually appealing and easier to squeeze out or pour.


Shear thinning:
The viscosity of xanthan gum solutions decreases with higher shear rates.
This is called shear thinning or pseudoplasticity.
This means that a product subjected to shear, whether from mixing, shaking or chewing will thin. When the shear forces are removed, the food will thicken again.

In salad dressing, the addition of xanthan gum makes it thick enough at rest in the bottle to keep the mixture fairly homogeneous, but the shear forces generated by shaking and pouring thins Xanthan gum, so it can be easily poured.
When Xanthan gum exits the bottle, the shear forces are removed and Xanthan gum thickens again, so it clings to the salad.

Amounts used:
The greater the ratio of xanthan gum added to a liquid, the thicker the liquid will become.
An emulsion can be formed with as little as 0.1% (by weight).
Increasing the amount of gum gives a thicker, more stable emulsion up to 1% xanthan gum

A teaspoon of xanthan gum weighs about 2.5 grams and brings one cup (250 ml) of water to a 1% concentration.
To make a foam, 0.2–0.8% xanthan gum is typically used.
Larger amounts result in larger bubbles and denser foam.
Egg white powder (0.2–2.0%) with 0.1–0.4% xanthan gum yields bubbles similar to soap bubbles.


Today it is commonly used in:
• Supplements
• Cosmetics
• Baked goods and pastry fillings
• Ice cream and sherbet
• Industrial products
• Jams, jellies and sauces
• Lotions
• Medicines
• Pudding
• Salad dressings
• Toothpastes
• Yogurt

APPLICATIONS OF XANTHAN GUM:
Xanthan gum thickens without the application of heat, which distinguishes it from certain other thickening agents, such as cornstarch and gelatin.
Xanthan gum also retains its thickening properties when cooled, and it is tasteless—features that make it especially useful for canned foods and shelf-stable foods like soups, sauces, gravies, and salad dressings.
Xanthan gum commonly is used with other thickening agents, including guar gum, locust bean gum, carrageenan, gelatin, agar, and pectin.
Xanthan gum may also be paired with starches, such as potato starch, which amplifies its thickening and gelling effects.

As an emusifier, xanthan gum affects viscosity by aiding emulsification and keeps particles from clumping and settling.
Xanthan gum also allows pourable foods, such as salad dressings and barbecue sauces, to flow consistently from their containers.
A very small percentage of xanthan gum—as little as 0.1 percent by weight of the finished product—is needed to produce thickening and emulsifying effects.

The application of xanthan gum as a gelling agent can be seen in jams and jellies.
Xanthan gum is also common in dairy products and ice cream, where it contributes to texture, creating a smooth and creamy mouthfeel by helping to inhibit the formation of water crystals.
Xanthan gum often is used as an ingredient in gluten-free food products, where Xanthan gum acts as an emulsifier and a binder to replicate the lift, tenderness, and elasticity of gluten in doughs.
Because Xanthan gum attracts water, Xanthan gum also helps baked goods retain moisture.

Other applications of xanthan gum include use as a suspension agent in certain medications, such as antibiotics, to ensure proper dosing.
Xanthan gum is also found in personal care products, such as makeup, lotions, and shampoos.
Xanthan gum is slowly replacing carboxymethyl cellulose as a more affordable primary hydrocolloid in toothpaste, where Xanthan gum provides consistency so that the gel can be squeezed from the tube in a solid strand; it also enables the gel to cling to the toothbrush while being spread on teeth.

In the petroleum industry, xanthan gum is added to mud during the hydraulic fracturing process.
When added to drilling mud, because of its thickening properties, xanthan gum facilitates the movement of drill cuttings—pieces of rocks and other solid materials that are removed from boreholes when drilling wells—up to the surface for disposal.
Xanthan gum is also used in some industrial products, including use as a glue in wallpaper paste and as a stabilizer in paint.



PREPARATION OF XANTHAN GUM:
Xanthan gum is produced by the fermentation of glucose and sucrose.
The medium is well-aerated and stirred, and the xanthan polymer is produced extracellularly into the medium.
After one to four days, the polymer is precipitated from the medium by the addition of isopropyl alcohol, and the precipitate is dried and milled to give a powder that is readily soluble in water or brine.

It is composed of pentasaccharide repeat units, comprising glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid in the molar ratio 2:2:1.

A strain of X. campestris has been developed that will grow on lactose - which allows it to be used to process whey, a waste product of cheese production.
This can produce 30 g/L of xanthan gum for every 40 g/L of whey powder.
Whey-derived xanthan gum is commonly used in many commercial products, such as shampoos and salad dressings.

Detail of the biosynthesis:
Synthesis originates from glucose as substrate for synthesis of the sugar nucleotides precursors UDP-glucose, UDP-glucuronate, and GDP-mannose that are required for building the pentasaccharide repeat unit.
This links the synthesis of xanthan to carbohydrate metabolism.
The repeat units are built up at undecaprenylphosphate lipid carriers that are anchored in the cytoplasmic membrane.

Specific glycosyltransferases sequentially transfer the sugar moieties of the nucleotide sugar xanthan precursors to the lipid carriers.
Acetyl and pyruvyl residues are added as non-carbohydrate decorations.
Mature repeat units are polymerized and exported in a way resembling the Wzy-dependent polysaccharide synthesis mechanism of Enterobacteriaceae.
Products of the gum gene cluster drive synthesis, polymerization, and export of the repeat unit.

WHERE IS XANTHAN GUM FOUND?
Xanthan gum is found in food, personal care and industrial products.

Food Products:
Xanthan gum can improve the texture, consistency, flavor, shelf life and appearance of many foods.
Xanthan gum also stabilizes foods, helping certain foods withstand different temperatures and pH levels.
Additionally, Xanthan gum prevents foods from separating and allows them to flow smoothly out of their containers.

Xanthan gum is used frequently in gluten-free cooking since Xanthan gum can provide the elasticity and fluffiness that gluten gives traditional baked goods.

The following are some common foods that contain xanthan gum:
• Salad dressings
• Bakery products
• Fruit juices
• Soups
• Ice creams
• Sauces and gravies
• Syrups
• Gluten-free products
• Low-fat foods

Personal Care Products:
Xanthan gum is also found in many personal care and beauty products.
Xanthan gum allows these products to be thick, but still flow easily out of their containers.
Xanthan gum also allows solid particles to be suspended in liquids.

The following are some common products that contain xanthan gum:
• Toothpaste
• Creams
• Lotions
• Shampoo
Industrial Products:
Xanthan gum is used in many industrial products due to its ability to withstand different temperatures and pH levels, cling to surfaces and thicken liquids, all while maintaining good flow.

Common industrial products containing xanthan gum include:
• Fungicides, herbicides and insecticides
• Tile, grout, oven and toilet bowl cleaners
• Paints
• Fluids used in oil drilling
• Adhesives like wallpaper glue

HEALTH BENEFITS OF XANTHAN GUM:
Xanthan gum has been linked to other potential health benefits, though these benefits are unlikely to occur without taking supplements.

Some potential health benefits of xanthan gum include:
Lower cholesterol: A study had five men consume 10 times the recommended amount of xanthan gum per day for 23 days.
Subsequent blood tests found that their cholesterol decreased by 10%

Weight loss: People have noted increased fullness after consuming xanthan gum.
Xanthan gum may increase fullness by delaying stomach emptying and slowing digestion

Cancer-fighting properties: A study in mice with melanoma found that Xanthan gum significantly slowed the growth of cancerous tumors and prolonged life.
No human studies have been completed, so the current evidence is weak

Improved regularity: Xanthan gum increases the movement of water into the intestines to create a softer, bulkier stool that’s easier to pass.
Studies have found that Xanthan gum significantly increases the frequency and amount of stool

Thickens liquids: Xanthan gum is used to thicken liquids for those who have difficulty swallowing, such as older adults or people with neurological disorders

Saliva substitute: Xanthan gum is sometimes used as a saliva substitute for individuals suffering from dry mouth, but studies on its effectiveness have found mixed results

When eaten at reasonably high levels, xanthan gum may have some influence on your gut and the speed of digestive transit.
This is because xanthan gum binds with water and swells once eaten; this increases the levels of fluid in the intestine and stimulates the movement of food in the gut, promoting softer, bulkier stools and potentially relieving constipation.

Xanthan gum is also a soluble fibre that acts as ‘fuel’ for the beneficial bacteria that reside in your gut.
These bacteria are important not just for the health of your gut, but for your wider health and well-being, too.

There are also some suggestions that foods containing xanthan gum (again at high levels) may slow the absorption of sugar from the digestive tract and improve satiety.
These findings are also seen when xanthan gum is added to a carb-rich side dish such as rice, where it lowers the overall Glycaemic Index (GI) of the dish.

Similarly, when consumed at sufficient doses, xanthan gum may have a moderate effect on cholesterol levels, with potentially a 10% reduction.

According to a 2009 article published in the journal International Immunopharmacology, for example, xanthan gum was shown to have cancer-fighting properties.
This study evaluated the oral administration of xanthan gum and discovered that it “significantly retarded tumor growth and prolonged survival” of mice inoculated with melanoma cells.

Xanthan gum-based thickeners were also fairly recently found to help oropharyngeal dysphagia patients swallow because of increased viscosity.
This is a condition in which people have a difficulty emptying food into the esophagus because of abnormalities in muscle or nerves.

Common in stroke victims, this use can help people considerably because Xanthan gum can aid aspiration.
Interestingly, this increased viscosity can help reduce blood sugar spikes when xanthan gum is mixed with fruit juice.
In addition to these few studies, some internet sources claim that xanthan gum is good for the skin and hair as well.

Improves texture and consistency:
Xanthan gum is used in tons of food and drink products to improve taste, texture, and consistency.
Xanthan gum can help give gluten-free baked goods (like breads) a springy texture and keep ice cream smooth and thick.

Helps make food safer to swallow:
Some people have difficulty swallowing foods and drinks. (This can happen if you’ve had a stroke or if you develop multiple sclerosis.)

Xanthan gum can help thicken foods and drinks so you’re less likely to aspirate (accidentally inhale food or a drink into your lungs).

Other potential benefits:
A 2012 study suggested that xanthan gum may help reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes when it’s combined with a type of fiber called beta glucan or when it’s added to foods.
But research in this area is limited.
Many of the studies suggesting that xanthan gum is helpful for blood sugar control are small and outdated.

On the other hand, a research review showed that xanthan gum may also have laxative effects when used in high doses, which could be helpful for some folks.
That might not be desirable if you’re not dealing with constipation, though.

HOW DOES XANTHAN GUM WORK ?
Xanthan gum swells in the intestine, which stimulates the intestine to push stool through.
Xanthan gum also seems to slow the absorption of sugar from the digestive tract.

EFFECTIVENESS OF XANTHAN GUM:
Xanthan gum seems to reduce constipation.
Xanthan gum seems to improve swallowing and reduce the risk of aspirating food.

WHY DO PEOPLE TAKE XANTHAN GUM?
Research on the health effects of xanthan gum is limited.
Xanthan gum is commonly used as a food additive with few side effects although bloating and gas has been noted.
People use xanthan gum for different purposes, including to try to treat or manage constipationanddiabetes but more studies are needed to confirm the efficacy.

People withceliac diseasemust avoid a protein called gluten.
This protein is found in many grains, including wheat, barley, and rye, making it a common ingredient in baked goods and pasta.
Gluten makes dough stretchy and it helps create the airy texture of baked goods.
When baking, some people who avoid gluten mix xanthan gum with gluten-free flour to achieve the same effects.
Some people who have trouble swallowing add a product called SimplyThick -- which contains xanthan gum -- to foods and drinks to make them easier to swallow.

CAN YOU GET XANTHAN GUM NATURALLY FROM FOODS?
No. Xanthan gum is a food additive.
Xanthan gum is a common ingredient in processed foods.
Some supermarkets also carry xanthan gum alongside other ingredients for baking or in the natural foods area.

SUBSTITUTES FOR XANTHAN GUM:
A handful of alternatives to xanthan gum can thicken food and ensure an even texture:

Psyllium fiber works well as a binding agent and adds fiber to food.
Chia seeds absorb water and make food more gelatinous.
Gelatin helps moisturize food and maintains an even consistency.

Agar is a vegan alternative to some other thickeners, such as gelatin.
Ground flax seeds can bind food and promote a more even texture.
Potato, arrowroot, or cornstarch can also improve the texture, thickness, and other properties of both cold and baked foods.

Cornstarch: Good ole’ cornstarch makes an excellent stand-in for xanthan gum and can be used as a 1-to-1 replacement in recipes.
Chia seeds and water: If you’ve ever made chia seed pudding, you’re familiar with chia’s thickening abilities.
This gooey mix can be used to replace xanthan gum in a straight-up 1-to-1 ratio.

Gelatin: Gelatin is another popular thickener that can replace xanthan gum in a 2-to-1 ratio. (Just keep in mind that gelatin isn’t a vegan option.)
Agar-agar: This algae-derived product can be used as a thickener when xanthan gum isn’t available. You can sub agar-agar for xanthan gum with a 1-to-1 ratio.
Guar gum: Guar gum is super similar to xanthan gum. If you’re in a pinch, guar gum can replace xanthan gum in recipes in a 3-to-1 ratio.


STORAGE OF XANTHAN GUM:
Store xanthan gum in a sealed container away from heat or moisture.
Xanthan gum can be kept in the cupboard with other baking supplies or anywhere out of direct sunlight.
Keeping xanthan gum in a cool, not-too-hot spot will also help prolong its shelf life.

For example, in a salad dressing that contains spices, xanthan gum helps to suspend the spices as well as maintain a smooth and consistent texture.

How much xanthan gum is used in foods and beverages?
A little bit of xanthan gum goes a long way – you typically find around 0.3% concentration or lower in foods and beverages.
As with most other food additives, only the amount of xanthan gum needed to achieve the desired technological function in a food is used.

Why do some people criticize xanthan gum?
Since xanthan gum is similar in structure to fibers, consuming large quantities can have a laxative effect.
If someone consumes large amounts of any fiber, side effects such as gas and bloating will likely be experienced.
The good news is that xanthan gum is used at such low levels in food products – less than 0.3% in most cases – that side effects are unlikely.

How does the production and use of xanthan gum impact the environment?
Xanthan gum is a sustainable product.
The development and processing of xanthan gum occur in a controlled environment.

Is xanthan gum available to consumers as an everyday food ingredient?
Yes, you can typically find xanthan gum at your local grocery store in the baking aisle.

PH 6.0 - 8.0 COLOR White to cream APPEARANCE Free flowing powder INDUSTRY Food Chemicals, Industrial, Industrial Drilling, Oil and Gas Production, Drilling Fluid, Hydraulic Fracturing, Fracking One of the most remarkable properties of XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is its ability to produce a large increase in the viscosity of a liquid by adding a very small quantity of gum. The viscosity solutions decrease with higher shear rates, which is called pseudoplasticity. This means that a product subjected to shear, whether from mixing, shaking, or even chewing, will thin out, but once the shear forces are removed, the food will thicken back up. In foods, this gum is used as a good thickening agent which is most often found in salad dressings and sauces. It makes these products thick enough at rest in the bottle to keep the mixture fairly homogeneous, but the shear forces generated by shaking the mixture so it can be easily poured. When it exits the bottle, the shear forces are removed and the mixture thickens back up, so it clings to the salad or food. It is very stable under a wide range of temperatures and pH. XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) helps to prevent oil separation by stabilizing the emulsion, although it is not an emulsifier. This gum also helps suspend solid particles, such as spices. Also used in frozen foods and beverages, it helps create the pleasant texture in many ice creams.Gluten-free baking also contains this ingredient; since the gluten found in wheat must be omitted, XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is used to give the dough or batter a "stickiness" that would otherwise be achieved with the gluten. It is also a preferred method of thickening liquids for those with swallowing disorders, since it does not change the color or flavor of foods or beverages. In personal care, XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is a stabilizer to prevent ingredients from separating. In toothpaste, XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) serves as a binder to keep the product uniform. It is also used to prepare water gel, oil-in-water emulsions to help stabilize the oil droplets against coalescence, and has some skin hydrating properties. XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is a high molecular weight polysaccharide produced by fermentation of Xanthamonas campestris. The composition and structure of the XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) produced by commercial fermentation is identical to the naturally occurring polysaccharide formed on plants belonging to the cabbage family. Process control and rigorous quality standards throughout production guarantee consistent, reliable product performance. In processed foods, xanthan gum provides stability and improves or modifies textural qualities, pouring characteristics and cling. Exceptional thickening and stabilizing abilities make XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) products a common component in many food systems. For salad dressings, ACAR products are the stabilizers of choice, keeping ingredients suspended uniformly while providing excellent pourability without flavor masking. The dramatic thickening capability of low concentrations of XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) provides improved mouthfeel in products such as syrups and powdered juice drinks.

XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) derives its name from the species of bacteria used during the fermentation process, Xanthomonas campestris.[4] This is the same bacterium responsible for causing black rot to form on broccoli, cauliflower, and other leafy vegetables. Uses of XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM), 1%, can produce a significant increase in the viscosity of a liquid.[5] In foods, XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is common in salad dressings and sauces. XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) helps to prevent oil separation by stabilizing the emulsion, although it is not an emulsifier. XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) also helps suspend solid particles, such as spices. XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) helps create the desired texture in many ice creams. Toothpaste often contains XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) as a binder to keep the product uniform. XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) also helps thicken commercial egg substitutes made from egg whites, to replace the fat and emulsifiers found in yolks. XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is also a preferred method of thickening liquids for those with swallowing disorders, since it does not change the color or flavor of foods or beverages at typical use levels.[6] In gluten-free baking, XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is used to give the dough or batter the stickiness that would otherwise be achieved with gluten. In most foods XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is used at concentrations of 0.5% or less. Xanthan gum is used in wide range food products, such as sauces, dressings, meat and poultry products, bakery products, confectionery products, beverages, dairy products, others. In the oil industry, XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is used in large quantities to thicken drilling mud.[7] These fluids carry the solids cut by the drilling bit to the surface. XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) provides great "low end" rheology. When circulation stops, the solids remain suspended in the drilling fluid. The widespread use of horizontal drilling and the demand for good control of drilled solids has led to its expanded use. XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) has been added to concrete poured underwater, to increase its viscosity and prevent washout. In cosmetics, XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is used to prepare water gels.[8] It is also used in oil-in-water emulsions to enhance droplet coalescence.[9] Xanthan gum is under preliminary research for its potential uses in tissue engineering to construct hydrogels and scaffolds supporting three-dimensional tissue formation.[8] Shear thinning The viscosity of XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) solutions decreases with higher shear rates. This is called shear thinning or pseudoplasticity. This means that a product subjected to shear, whether from mixing, shaking or chewing will thin. When the shear forces are removed, the food will thicken again. In salad dressing, the addition of XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) makes it thick enough at rest in the bottle to keep the mixture fairly homogeneous, but the shear forces generated by shaking and pouring thins it, so it can be easily poured. When it exits the bottle, the shear forces are removed and it thickens again, so it clings to the salad. Amounts used The greater the ratio of XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) added to a liquid, the thicker the liquid will become. An emulsion can be formed with as little as 0.1% (by weight). Increasing the amount of gum gives a thicker, more stable emulsion up to 1% XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM). A teaspoon of XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) weighs about 2.5 grams and brings one cup (250 ml) of water to a 1% concentration.[6][10] To make a foam, 0.2–0.8% XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is typically used. Larger amounts result in larger bubbles and denser foam. Egg white powder (0.2–2.0%) with 0.1–0.4% XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) yields bubbles similar to soap bubbles. Health Evaluation of workers exposed to XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) dust found evidence of a link to respiratory symptoms.[11] On May 20, 2011, the FDA issued a press release about SimplyThick, a food-thickening additive containing XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) as the active ingredient, warning parents, caregivers and health care providers not to feed SimplyThick, a thickening product, to premature infants.[12] The concern is that the product may cause premature infants to suffer necrotizing enterocolitis. Safety of XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) According to a 2017 safety review by a scientific panel of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) (European food additive number E 415) is extensively digested during intestinal fermentation, and causes no adverse effects, even at high intake amounts.[13] The EFSA panel found no concern about genotoxicity from long-term consumption.[13] EFSA concluded that there is no safety concern for the general population when XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is consumed as a food additive.[13] Preparation XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is produced by the fermentation of glucose and sucrose.[13] The polysaccharide is prepared by the bacteria being inoculated into a sterile aqueous solution of carbohydrate(s), a source of nitrogen, dipotassium phosphate, and some trace elements.[13] The medium is well-aerated and stirred, and the xanthan polymer is produced extracellularly into the medium. After one to four days, the polymer is precipitated from the medium by the addition of isopropyl alcohol, and the precipitate is dried and milled to give a powder that is readily soluble in water or brine.[13] XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is composed of pentasaccharide repeat units, comprising glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid in the molar ratio 2:2:1.[13][14] A strain of X. campestris has been developed that will grow on lactose - which allows it to be used to process whey, a waste product of cheese production. This can produce 30 g/L of XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) for every 40 g/L of whey powder. Whey-derived XANTHAN GUM (Ksantan Sakızı)(KSANTAN GAM) is commonly used in many commercial products, such as shampoos and salad dressings.[15] Detail of the biosynthesis Synthesis originates from glucose as substrate for synthesis of the sugar nucleotides precursors UDP-glucose, UDP-glucuronate, and GDP-mannose that are required for building the pentasaccharide repeat unit.[13] This links the synthesis of xanthan to carbohydrate metabolism. The repeat units are built up at undecaprenylphosphate lipid carriers that are anchored in the cytoplasmic membrane.[citation needed] Specific glycosyltransferases sequentially transfer the sugar moieties of the nucleotide sugar xanthan precursors to the lipid carriers. Acetyl and pyruvyl residues are added as non-carbohydrate decorations. Mature repeat units are polymerized and exported in a way resembling the Wzy-dependent polysaccharide synthesis mechanism of Enterobacteriaceae. Products of the gum gene cluster drive synthesis, polymerization, and export of the repeat unit.

Xanthan gum (e415) has the ability to form a gel by creating high viscosity when mixed with water.
Xanthan gum (e415) is soluble and stable at low temperature.

Xanthan gum (e415) is used in the food industry for various functions such as gel formation, emulsion stabilization and rheology control.
Xanthan gum (e415) is an additive generally used in many different products in the food processing industry.
Xanthan gum (e415) has important functions such as giving the products the desired texture, increasing stability and controlling rheology.



SHEAR THINNING OF XANTHAN GUM (e415):
The viscosity of Xanthan gum (e415) solutions decreases with higher shear rates.
This is called shear thinning or pseudoplasticity.
This means that a product subjected to shear, whether from mixing, shaking or chewing, will thin.

When the shear forces are removed, the food will thicken again.
In salad dressing, the addition of Xanthan gum (e415) makes it thick enough at rest in the bottle to keep the mixture fairly homogeneous, but the shear forces generated by shaking and pouring thins it, so it can be easily poured.

When it exits the bottle, the shear forces are removed and Xanthan gum (e415) thickens again, so it clings to the salad.
The rheology of xanthan aqua solutions become visco-elastic at higher concentrations of Xanthan gum (e415) in water.



CONCENTRATIONS USED OF XANTHAN GUM (e415):
The greater the concentration of Xanthan gum (e415) in a liquid, the thicker the liquid will become.

Increasing the concentration of gum gives a thicker, more stable emulsion up to 1% Xanthan gum (e415).
A teaspoon of Xanthan gum (e415) weighs about 2.5 grams and brings one cup (250 ml) of water to a 1% concentration.

To make a foam, 0.2–0.8% Xanthan gum (e415) is typically used.
Larger amounts result in larger bubbles and denser foam.
Egg white powder (0.2–2.0%) with 0.1–0.4% Xanthan gum (e415) yields bubbles similar to soap bubbles.



PREPARATION OF XANTHAN GUM (e415):
Xanthan gum (e415) is produced by the fermentation of glucose and sucrose.
The medium is well-aerated and stirred, and the xanthan polymer is produced extracellularly into the medium.

Xiameter MEM-2664 emulsion is a non-ionic emulsion of a high molecular weight polydimethylsiloxane. It is ideal for use in a variety of hair care and skin care applications where the benefit of a high viscosity dimethicone is desired. What Is It? Xiameter MEM-2664 are polyoxyethers of lauryl alcohol. They are a clear, colorless liquids. In cosmetics and personal care products, Xiameter MEM-2664 are used in the formulation of a variety of bath, eye, facial, hair, cleansing and sunscreen products. They are also used in cuticle softeners, deodorants and moisturizing products. Why is it used in cosmetics and personal care products? Xiameter MEM-2664 both function as surfactants. Laureth-4 functions as a surfatant - emulsfying agent, while Laureth-23 functions as a surfactant - cleansing agent and a surfactant - solubilizing agent. Scientific Facts: Xiameter MEM-2664 are produced by reacting ethylene oxide with lauryl alcohol. The numerical designation refers to the average number of repeating ethylene oxide units in the molecule. As the numerical value of Laureths increases, the viscosity of the ingredient increases until they become white, waxy solids. Polydimethylsiloxane (Xiameter MEM-2664), also known as dimethylpolysiloxane or dimethicone, belongs to a group of polymeric organosilicon compounds that are commonly referred to as silicones.[1] Xiameter MEM-2664 is the most widely used silicon-based organic polymer due to its versatility and properties leading to many applications.[2] It is particularly known for its unusual rheological (or flow) properties. Xiameter MEM-2664 is optically clear and, in general, inert, non-toxic, and non-flammable. It is one of several types of silicone oil (polymerized siloxane). Its applications range from contact lenses and medical devices to elastomers; it is also present in shampoos (as it makes hair shiny and slippery), food (antifoaming agent), caulking, lubricants and heat-resistant tiles. Structure The chemical formula for Xiameter MEM-2664 is CH3[Si(CH3)2O]nSi(CH3)3, where n is the number of repeating monomer [SiO(CH3)2] units.[3] Industrial synthesis can begin from dimethyldichlorosilane and water by the following net reaction: The polymerization reaction evolves hydrochloric acid. For medical and domestic applications, a process was developed in which the chlorine atoms in the silane precursor were replaced with acetate groups. In this case, the polymerization produces acetic acid, which is less chemically aggressive than HCl. As a side-effect, the curing process is also much slower in this case. The acetate is used in consumer applications, such as silicone caulk and adhesives. Branching and capping Hydrolysis of Si(CH3)2Cl2 generates a polymer that is terminated with silanol groups (−Si(CH3)2OH]). These reactive centers are typically "capped" by reaction with trimethylsilyl chloride: 2 Si(CH3)3Cl + [Si(CH3)2O]n−2[Si(CH3)2OH]2 → [Si(CH3)2O]n−2[Si(CH3)2O Si(CH3)3]2 + 2 HCl Silane precursors with more acid-forming groups and fewer methyl groups, such as methyltrichlorosilane, can be used to introduce branches or cross-links in the polymer chain. Under ideal conditions, each molecule of such a compound becomes a branch point. This can be used to produce hard silicone resins. In a similar manner, precursors with three methyl groups can be used to limit molecular weight, since each such molecule has only one reactive site and so forms the end of a siloxane chain. Well-defined Xiameter MEM-2664 with a low polydispersity index and high homogeneity is produced by controlled anionic ring-opening polymerization of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane. Using this methodology it is possible to synthesize linear block copolymers, heteroarm star-shaped block copolymers and many other macromolecular architectures. The polymer is manufactured in multiple viscosities, ranging from a thin pourable liquid (when n is very low), to a thick rubbery semi-solid (when n is very high). Xiameter MEM-2664 molecules have quite flexible polymer backbones (or chains) due to their siloxane linkages, which are analogous to the ether linkages used to impart rubberiness to polyurethanes. Such flexible chains become loosely entangled when molecular weight is high, which results in Xiameter MEM-2664' unusually high level of viscoelasticity. Mechanical properties Xiameter MEM-2664 is viscoelastic, meaning that at long flow times (or high temperatures), it acts like a viscous liquid, similar to honey. However, at short flow times (or low temperatures), it acts like an elastic solid, similar to rubber. Viscoelasticity is a form of nonlinear elasticity that is common amongst noncrystalline polymers.[4] The loading and unloading of a stress-strain curve for Xiameter MEM-2664 do not coincide; rather, the amount of stress will vary based on the degree of strain, and the general rule is that increasing strain will result in greater stiffness. When the load itself is removed, the strain is slowly recovered (rather than instantaneously). This time-dependent elastic deformation results from the long-chains of the polymer. But the process that is described above is only relevant when cross-linking is present; when it is not, the polymer Xiameter MEM-2664 cannot shift back to the original state even when the load is removed, resulting in a permanent deformation. However, permanent deformation is rarely seen in Xiameter MEM-2664, since it is almost always cured with a cross-linking agent. If some Xiameter MEM-2664 is left on a surface overnight (long flow time), it will flow to cover the surface and mold to any surface imperfections. However, if the same Xiameter MEM-2664 is poured into a spherical mold and allowed to cure (short flow time), it will bounce like a rubber ball.[3] The mechanical properties of Xiameter MEM-2664 enable this polymer to conform to a diverse variety of surfaces. Since these properties are affected by a variety of factors, this unique polymer is relatively easy to tune. This enables Xiameter MEM-2664 to become a good substrate that can easily be integrated into a variety of microfluidic and microelectromechanical systems.[5][6] Specifically, the determination of mechanical properties can be decided before Xiameter MEM-2664 is cured; the uncured version allows the user to capitalize on myriad opportunities for achieving a desirable elastomer. Generally, the cross-linked cured version of Xiameter MEM-2664 resembles rubber in a solidified form. It is widely known to be easily stretched, bent, compressed in all directions.[7] Depending on the application and field, the user is able to tune the properties based on what is demanded. Fabric embedded within Xiameter MEM-2664. This technique enables a user to retain a thin layer of Xiameter MEM-2664 as a substrate while achieving a higher stiffness through the insertion of reinforcement. Linear relationship in Sylgard 184 Xiameter MEM-2664 between curing temperature and Young's modulus Overall Xiameter MEM-2664 has a low elastic modulus which enables it to be easily deformed and results in the behavior of a rubber.[8][9][10] Viscoelastic properties of Xiameter MEM-2664 can be more precisely measured using dynamic mechanical analysis. This method requires determination of the material's flow characteristics over a wide range of temperatures, flow rates, and deformations. Because of Xiameter MEM-2664's chemical stability, it is often used as a calibration fluid for this type of experiment. The shear modulus of Xiameter MEM-2664 varies with preparation conditions, and consequently dramatically varies in the range of 100 kPa to 3 MPa. The loss tangent is very low (tan δ ≪ 0.001). Chemical compatibility Xiameter MEM-2664 is hydrophobic.[6] Plasma oxidation can be used to alter the surface chemistry, adding silanol (SiOH) groups to the surface. Atmospheric air plasma and argon plasma will work for this application. This treatment renders the Xiameter MEM-2664 surface hydrophilic, allowing water to wet it. The oxidized surface can be further functionalized by reaction with trichlorosilanes. After a certain amount of time, recovery of the surface's hydrophobicity is inevitable, regardless of whether the surrounding medium is vacuum, air, or water; the oxidized surface is stable in air for about 30 minutes.[11] Alternatively, for applications where long-term hydrophilicity is a requirement, techniques such as hydrophilic polymer grafting, surface nanostructuring, and dynamic surface modification with embedded surfactants can be of use. [12] Solid Xiameter MEM-2664 samples (whether surface-oxidized or not) will not allow aqueous solvents to infiltrate and swell the material. Thus Xiameter MEM-2664 structures can be used in combination with water and alcohol solvents without material deformation. However most organic solvents will diffuse into the material and cause it to swell.[6] Despite this, some organic solvents lead to sufficiently small swelling that they can be used with Xiameter MEM-2664, for instance within the channels of Xiameter MEM-2664 microfluidic devices. The swelling ratio is roughly inversely related to the solubility parameter of the solvent. Diisopropylamine swells Xiameter MEM-2664 to the greatest extent; solvents such as chloroform, ether, and THF swell the material to a large extent. Solvents such as acetone, 1-propanol, and pyridine swell the material to a small extent. Alcohols and polar solvents such as methanol, glycerol and water do not swell the material appreciably.[13] Applications Surfactants and antifoaming agents Xiameter MEM-2664 is a common surfactant and is a component of defoamers.[14] Xiameter MEM-2664, in a modified form, is used as an herbicide penetrant[15] and is a critical ingredient in water-repelling coatings, such as Rain-X.[16] Hydraulic fluids and related applications Dimethicone is also the active silicone fluid in automotive viscous limited slip differentials and couplings. This is usually a non-serviceable OEM component but can be replaced with mixed performance results due to variances in effectiveness caused by refill weights or non-standard pressurizations.[citation needed] Soft lithography Xiameter MEM-2664 is commonly used as a stamp resin in the procedure of soft lithography, making it one of the most common materials used for flow delivery in microfluidics chips.[17] The process of soft lithography consists of creating an elastic stamp, which enables the transfer of patterns of only a few nanometers in size onto glass, silicon or polymer surfaces. With this type of technique, it is possible to produce devices that can be used in the areas of optic telecommunications or biomedical research. The stamp is produced from the normal techniques of photolithography or electron-beam lithography. The resolution depends on the mask used and can reach 6 nm. In biomedical (or biological) microelectromechanical systems (bio-MEMS), soft lithography is used extensively for microfluidics in both organic and inorganic contexts. Silicon wafers are used to design channels, and Xiameter MEM-2664 is then poured over these wafers and left to harden. When removed, even the smallest of details is left imprinted in the Xiameter MEM-2664. With this particular Xiameter MEM-2664 block, hydrophilic surface modification is conducted using plasma etching techniques. Plasma treatment disrupts surface silicon-oxygen bonds, and a plasma-treated glass slide is usually placed on the activated side of the Xiameter MEM-2664 (the plasma-treated, now hydrophilic side with imprints). Once activation wears off and bonds begin to reform, silicon-oxygen bonds are formed between the surface atoms of the glass and the surface atoms of the Xiameter MEM-2664, and the slide becomes permanently sealed to the Xiameter MEM-2664, thus creating a waterproof channel. With these devices, researchers can utilize various surface chemistry techniques for different functions creating unique lab-on-a-chip devices for rapid parallel testing.[5] Xiameter MEM-2664 can be cross-linked into networks and is a commonly used system for studying the elasticity of polymer networks.[citation needed] Xiameter MEM-2664 can be directly patterned by surface-charge lithography. Xiameter MEM-2664 is being used in the making of synthetic gecko adhesion dry adhesive materials, to date only in laboratory test quantities.[20] Some flexible electronics researchers use Xiameter MEM-2664 because of its low cost, easy fabrication, flexibility, and optical transparency.[21] Stereo lithography In stereo lithography (SLA) 3D printing, light is projected onto photocuring resin to selectively cure it. Some types of SLA printer are cured from the bottom of the tank of resin and therefore require the growing model to be peeled away from the base in order for each printed layer to be supplied with a fresh film of uncured resin. A Xiameter MEM-2664 layer at the bottom of the tank assists this process by absorbing oxygen : the presence of oxygen adjacent to the resin prevents it adhering to the Xiameter MEM-2664, and the optically clear Xiameter MEM-2664 permits the projected image to pass through to the resin undistorted. Medicine and cosmetics Activated dimethicone, a mixture of polydimethylsiloxanes and silicon dioxide (sometimes called simethicone), is often used in over-the-counter drugs as an antifoaming agent and carminative.[22][23] It has also been at least proposed for use in contact lenses.[24] Silicone breast implants are made out of a Xiameter MEM-2664 elastomer shell, to which fumed amorphous silica is added, encasing Xiameter MEM-2664 gel or saline solution. [25] In addition, Xiameter MEM-2664 is useful as a lice or flea treatment because of its ability to trap insects.[26] It also works as a moisturizer that is lighter and more breathable than typical oils. Skin Xiameter MEM-2664 is used variously in the cosmetic and consumer product industry as well. For example, Xiameter MEM-2664 can be used in the treatment of head lice on the scalp[26] and dimethicone is used widely in skin-moisturizing lotions where it is listed as an active ingredient whose purpose is "skin protection." Some cosmetic formulations use dimethicone and related siloxane polymers in concentrations of use up to 15%. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review's (CIR) Expert Panel, has concluded that dimethicone and related polymers are "safe as used in cosmetic formulations."[27] Hair Xiameter MEM-2664 compounds such as amodimethicone, are effective conditioners when formulated to consist of small particles and be soluble in water or alcohol/act as surfactants[28][29] (especially for damaged hair[30]), and are even more conditioning to the hair than common dimethicone and/or dimethicone copolyols.[31] Contact Lenses A proposed use of Xiameter MEM-2664 is contact lens cleaning. Its physical properties of low elastic modulus and hydrophobicity have been used to clean micro and nano pollutants from contact lens surfaces more effectively than multipurpose solution and finger rubbing; the researchers involved call the technique PoPPR (polymer on polymer pollution removal) and note that it is highly effective at removing nanoplastic that has adhered to lenses.[32] Flea treatment for pets Dimethicone is the active ingredient in a liquid applied to the back of the neck of a cat or dog from a small one time use dose disposable pipette. The parasite becomes trapped and immoblised in the substance and thus breaks the life cycle of the insect. Foods Xiameter MEM-2664 is added to many cooking oils (as an antifoaming agent) to prevent oil splatter during the cooking process. As a result of this, Xiameter MEM-2664 can be found in trace quantities in many fast food items such as McDonald's Chicken McNuggets, french fries, hash browns, milkshakes and smoothies[33] and Wendy's french fries. Under European food additive regulations, it is listed as E900. Condom lubricant Xiameter MEM-2664 is widely used as a condom lubricant. Domestic and niche uses Many people are indirectly familiar with Xiameter MEM-2664 because it is an important component in Silly Putty, to which Xiameter MEM-2664 imparts its characteristic viscoelastic properties.[37] Another toy Xiameter MEM-2664 is used in is Kinetic Sand. The rubbery, vinegary-smelling silicone caulks, adhesives, and aquarium sealants are also well-known. Xiameter MEM-2664 is also used as a component in silicone grease and other silicone based lubricants, as well as in defoaming agents, mold release agents, damping fluids, heat transfer fluids, polishes, cosmetics, hair conditioners and other applications. Xiameter MEM-2664 has also been used as a filler fluid in breast implants. It can be used as a sorbent for the analysis of headspace (dissolved gas analysis) of food. Safety and environmental considerations According to Ullmann's Encyclopedia, no "marked harmful effects on organisms in the environment" have been noted for siloxanes. Xiameter MEM-2664 is nonbiodegradable, but is absorbed in waste water treatment facilities. Its degradation is catalyzed by various clays.[39] Xiameter MEM-2664 is biocompatible[40], and its used in microfluidic device manufacturing because of that. What Is Xiameter MEM-2664? Is It Safe in Skin and Hair Care? At Puracy, we take natural skincare seriously. Discover what Xiameter MEM-2664 is, how it's used, and why it's more harmful than you might think. What is Xiameter MEM-2664, exactly? You might spot it on skin and hair care labels, but chemical names like “polydimethylsiloxane” can be difficult to decipher when you’re pressed for time. As an eco-friendly brand, Puracy wants to set the record straight about Xiameter MEM-2664 in skincare and hair care – and you’ll never find it in our products. What Is Xiameter MEM-2664? If you've ever used a makeup primer, it probably had some form of Xiameter MEM-2664 (ie. polydimethylsiloxane) in it. Since the molecules of silicone-based polymers are too large for the skin and hair to absorb, these products leave behind a silky/slippery layer. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Julie Jackson states that Xiameter MEM-2664 “does not interact with the stratum corneum (the top layer of the skin). It works by forming a film that prevents the loss of water through the skin, thus keeping the skin moisturized. It also works as an emollient, filling the spaces between cracks in the skin.” The result? Shinier-looking and smoother-feeling skin and hair. What Is Xiameter MEM-2664 Used for? Hundreds of personal care products use Xiameter MEM-2664 for a more seamless application, including diaper rash creams, moisturizers, hand lotions, and liquid foundations. Most hair care companies use silicones and Xiameter MEM-2664 to coat the hair cuticle and make detangling easier. Is Xiameter MEM-2664 Bad for Skin? According to the FDA and Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR), Xiameter MEM-2664 is a safe skincare ingredient that calms irritation, minimizes redness, and protects the skin from further damage. We consulted with Dr. Jackson on this topic, and she agreed that – even though it’s an unnatural, man-made substance, Xiameter MEM-2664 is a good chemically-inert moisturizer and safe for skin. When asked whether Xiameter MEM-2664 is known to clog pores, Dr. Jackson concluded, “There is no evidence that Xiameter MEM-2664 causes acne.” How to Avoid Xiameter MEM-2664 in Shampoo & Conditioner Historically, there have beenvery few eco-friendly hair products which provided the same results as their synthetic counterparts. After years of R&D with expert chemists and testers, Puracy Natural Shampoo and Conditioner are rare examples of Xiameter MEM-2664-free hair products that leave all hair types moisturized, bouncy, and shiny. While reformulating our shampoo and conditioner, the biggest change came from the inclusion of Lexfeel N5. This 100% sustainable and biodegradable emollient seamlessly replicates the effects of both Xiameter MEM-2664 and silicone. We’re proud to be one of the first companies to use this plant-sourced ingredient in our unbelievably effective hair care line. Is Xiameter MEM-2664 Bad for the Environment? The short answer: Yes. Depending on the route your water takes, when Xiameter MEM-2664 (a hydrolyzed chemical) is washed down the drain, it can feed into aquatic environments and impact fish and plant life. The National Center for Biotechnology Information also states that “the use of low molecular weight silicones should be reduced...and the purity of high molecular weight silicones should be monitored.” What is Xiameter MEM-2664 used for? Xiameter MEM-2664 is a silicon-based polymer that, when used in beauty products, gives the formula an incredibly smooth, velvety, slippery feel that you either love or hate (although I'll never understand the people who hate it TBH. I freakin' love the smooth feeling of silicones). But Xiameter MEM-2664 is not only used for its sensory properties—it also helps to temporarily smooth fine lines and wrinkles, functions as an emollient (aka a skin-conditioning agent), and also has some occlusive properties (meaning it prevents water loss by creating a seal or a barrier on your skin). And because of these properties, you'll usually find Xiameter MEM-2664 in your foundations, makeup primers, hair products, moisturizers, etc. Basically, unless a label specifically says it's silicone-free, you can almost guarantee it's in ev-ery-thing. Is Xiameter MEM-2664 safe for skin? Despite what the haters may say, according to the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Panel, Xiameter MEM-2664 is safe when used in cosmetic products. What's more, the CIR Expert Panel also says because of the large molecular weight of Xiameter MEM-2664, it's unlikely that it can be absorbed into the skin in a significant way. Board-certified dermatologist Dhaval G. Bhanusali, MD, isn't concerned either: "I think, all too often, people put things in categories and say, 'all of this is bad,'" he says. "But in this case, I don't know of many colleagues who are concerned with Xiameter MEM-2664 in skincare products." Can Xiameter MEM-2664 clog pores? Now that I've painted the visual of Xiameter MEM-2664 creating a seal on your skin, you're probably wondering if this means your face is gonna be left with crazy clogged pores from using it. But, surprisingly, that's not the case. Dr. Bhanusali says that unlike with other occlusives, Xiameter MEM-2664 isn't really heavy, which is why a lot of people with oily skin tend to like the feel of Xiameter MEM-2664 in their makeup or skincare products. "In general, this isn’t something that dermatologists are actually worried about," says Dr. Bhanusali, and instead, "Xiameter MEM-2664 is sometimes beneficial for acne patients, given the light nature it." And as far as Xiameter MEM-2664 being difficult to remove, Dr. Bhanusali says most cleansers are actually pretty effective at taking it off and recommends using a micellar-based formula, like Bioderma. Why is Xiameter MEM-2664 bad for hair? Although Xiameter MEM-2664 is fine for use on the skin, things get a little trickier when using it on your hair, mainly because it can coat your strands and weigh them down (which is not great for curls or fine hair). But, "if you have dry, damaged hair that's prone to tangles, Xiameter MEM-2664 can help create that sleek, slippery feel, making detangling easy and giving the appearance that the hair is super-conditioned and healthy," says trichologist and creator of Colour Collective, Kerry E. Yates. "Xiameter MEM-2664 is also heavily used in styling products to help 'glue' the cuticles down to create that smooth, shiny effect in hair." But it's this "gluing" mechanism that can also cause problems in the long-run—Xiameter MEM-2664 tends to quickly build up on your strands, preventing water from penetrating your hair cuticle, leaving your hair lank, dry, and damaged. The good news? Silicones can easily be removed by washing with a silicone-free, sulfate-filled cleanser. Yes, it'll be stripping and drying, but it'll also "reset" your strands, so if you're a big silicone user, try a reset wash once every few weeks to clear the buildup. As far as worries of hair loss go, Dr. Bhanusali says Xiameter MEM-2664 is not really something they consider or worry about, but as trichologist and creator of Colour Collective, Kerry E. Yates, explains it, the concern with Xiameter MEM-2664 in hair products has more to do with the effect it has on the health and quality of your strands. Sooo, does Xiameter MEM-2664 build up on hair? In short, yes. The reason why you might experience dry hair from using a Xiameter MEM-2664-based formula is that the product builds up, which prevents the hair from achieving a proper moisture balance. This is why excess use of Xiameter MEM-2664 can result in dry, brittle ends that are prone to breakage. For that reason, Yates argues that not all hair types and textures should use silicones—it can make fine hair look limp and oily, and it can make curly and coily hair textures drier and more brittle. "People with curly, coily hair should avoid using Xiameter MEM-2664, as the hair is already in a fragile state," says Yates. "By contributing to that dryness, you intensify the level of breakage," Yates says. The bottom line Just because the experts say Xiameter MEM-2664 is not the enemy the internet has made it out to be, it doesn't mean you have to use it. Xiameter MEM-2664 has its pros and cons, so if you've read the above and decided you still don't want to use it, don't! No one's making you! Uses This medication is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations (e.g., diaper rash, skin burns from radiation therapy). Emollients are substances that soften and moisturize the skin and decrease itching and flaking. Some products (e.g., zinc oxide, white petrolatum) are used mostly to protect the skin against irritation (e.g., from wetness).Dry skin is caused by a loss of water in the upper layer of the skin. Emollients/moisturizers work by forming an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps water in the skin. Petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil and Xiameter MEM-2664 are common emollients. Humectants, including glycerin, lecithin, and propylene glycol, draw water into the outer layer of skin. Many products also have ingredients that soften the horny substance (keratin) that holds the top layer of skin cells together (including urea, alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic/citric/glycolic acid, and allantoin). This helps the dead skin cells fall off, helps the skin keep in more water, and leaves the skin feeling smoother and softer. How to use Xiameter MEM-2664 2 % Topical Cream Skin Protectants Use this product as directed. Some products require priming before use. Follow all directions on the product package. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Some products need to be shaken before use. Check the label to see if you should shake the bottle well before using.
