MATURATION OR RIPENING INHIBITOR RELEASE FROM POLYMER, FIBER, FILM, SHEET OR PACKAGING

Thermoplastic polyolefin polymer compositions, polymer chips, fibers, woven or nonwoven fabrics, films, closures, and laminates include a polymer and cyclodextrin compound with a volatile-naturation inhibitor or an olefinic ethylene receptor antagonist in respiring produce materials. The polymer composition can also include a cyclodextrin-modified polymer or a substituted cyclodextrin. Olefinic ethylene inhibitors can be formed in the cyclodextrin composition, wherein the cyclodextrin releases the olefinic inhibitor composition when used in produce packaging materials. Coating compositions can also be made. The inhibitor is introduced into the materials and is released under controlled conditions of humidity. Upon release, the olefinic inhibitor blocks ethylene receptor sites on proteins that control maturation and can produce an extended period during which the produce does not substantially complete maturation or ripening to a degree leading to spoilage.

PROCESS FOR PRESERVING DEAD LEAVES AND MAKE THEM USABLE WITHIN VARIOUS OBJECTS SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO MAGNETS, CARDS, BOOKMARKS, COLLAGES, SCULPTURES, MOBILES AND ADVERTISING MEDIA

Dead leaves can be extremely beautiful. Think of the color of the maple leaves in the fall. In Canada, the maple leaf is an important symbol. It appears on the Canadian flag and on many objects. The problem with dead leaves is that they are extremely hard to preserve. To be properly preserved, they cannot be in contact with air and humidity. The typical technique to preserve them is to keep them flat in a book. They can also be kept in formalin or be varnished. In this invention, a new process effectively preserves dead leaves. The process consists of two steps. First, the moisture in the dead leaf is removed by keeping the leaves flat in a portfolio. The second step consists of laminating the leaf using a pouch laminator. The leaf is first inserted in a plastic pouch and the laminator is preheated. The pouch is then inserted in the hot laminator and as a result, the leaf is completely embedded in the pouch. The plastic coating fully protects the leaf from air and humidity. The laminated ...

A method for combating one or more harmful invertebrate pests which occur in the agriculture or which occur in a veterinary field comprising using a compound of to combat said pests. The present invention relates to a method (process) for the synthesis of substituted pyrrolines as well as to specific γ-nitroketones which can be used as starting materials in the process according to the invention. Pyrrolines are biological active and can thus be used as pesticides (cf. WO 2009/097992, WO 2009/112275).Several methods for the manufacturing of pyrrolines are known (cf. Cheruku, Srinivasa et al. 44 (2003), 3701-3703 and Moffett and White, J. Org. Chem. 17 (1952) 407-413)). One method is the reductive cyclization of γ-nitroketones using zinc powder together with HCOH-EtOH (1:1) which results in pyrroline N-oxides and pyrrolines (cf. Cheruku, Srinivasa et al. 44 (2003), 3701-3703).The reductive cyclization of a bromine-substituted pyrrole-γ-nitroketone is described by Laha, K. Joydev et al. in 2006, 71, pp. 4092-4102 (therein named as compound 8) using ...
