Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process of manufacturing a non-aqueous compositions.
- Paste compositions that are non-aqueous can prove difficult to manufacture in that the rheology of the paste is difficult to control.
- the stability of non-aqueous paste can also be problematic.
- EP 2 089040 describes oral care compositions which remineralises eroded teeth and/or whitens the teeth.
- the composition can be a dual phase composition comprising a source of calcium ions, a source of phosphate ions. With such systems it is preferable if the level of water within the composition is low.
- non-aqueous pastes in particular oral care toothpastes that have excellent rheology such as viscosity, are stable and preferably comprises a high level of materials that can remineralise tooth enamel.
- composition of the invention is used to preferably used to clean the surfaces of the oral cavity and is known as an oral care composition. Accordingly, preferred product forms for compositions of the invention are those which are suitable for brushing and/or rinsing the surfaces of the oral cavity.
- the composition of the invention is most preferably in the form of a dentifrice.
- dentifrice denotes an oral composition which is used to clean the surfaces of the oral cavity. Such a composition is not intentionally swallowed for purposes of systemic administration of therapeutic agents, but is applied to the oral cavity, used to treat the oral cavity and then expectorated. Typically such a composition is used in conjunction with a cleaning implement such as a toothbrush, usually by applying it to the bristles of the toothbrush and then brushing the accessible surfaces of the oral cavity.
- the dentifrice/toothpaste is in the form of an extrudable semi-solid such as a cream, paste or gel (or mixture thereof).
- the rheological behaviour compositions prepared by this process can be well controlled to achieve the desired sensory effects.
- a further particular advantage of the composition of the invention is its storage stability.
- the composition of the invention is non-aqueous.
- non-aqueous it is generally meant that water is not deliberately added to the composition in any significant quantity.
- nonaqueous does not mean that small amounts of water cannot be present, for example as a consequence of its association with hygroscopic raw materials.
- the term “non-aqueous” generally means that water is present in an amount no greater than about 5%, more preferably no greater than about 3% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
- composition of the invention comprises an organic polyol.

- the "relevant medium” is human saliva, the liquid medium in which the composition is used, at the temperature of the oral cavity during brushing of the teeth, i.e. up to 37 Degrees C. As a reasonable approximation, the relevant medium may be considered to be water and the relevant temperature to be 25 Degrees C.
- the blue pigment is Pigment Blue 15, more preferably Pigment Blue 15:1 , 15:2, 15:3, 15:4, 15:5 or 15:6, most preferably 15:1.

- the process for the manufacture of a non-aqueous composition comprising the following sequential steps: i) heating a mix of structurant and organic polyol comprising sorbitol and/or glycerol to a temperature of 69 °C or above, ii) addition of an abrasive and other non-flavour ingredients to the mix, iii) rapid cooling the resulting mix at a cooling rate of 5°C/min or above to form a paste or gel. It is preferred if the process is carried out under vacuum.
- the vacuum can be achieved by any suitable means, preferably by a standard a rotary vacuum pump capable of maintaining a vacuum of at least - 800 mbar(g), preferably - 950 mbar(g). An example of a suitable.
- the rapid cooling rate can be achieved by any suitable means preferably by liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide preferably the rapid cooling is achieved by the use of cardice (solid carbon dioxide.
- cardice solid carbon dioxide.
- the highly endothermic nature of this phase change dictates that it must be accompanied by the absorption of large quantities of heat from the material’s surroundings, enabling solid CO2 to act as an effective coolant.
- the rate of sublimation is dependent on operating conditions of temperature, pressure, and thermal properties of the fluid it is being contacted with, as well as the surface area of the solid CO2 material.
- sublimation rates When intimately mixed with product at elevated temperatures of 70°C within the mixer, sublimation occurs rapidly; sublimation rates of up to 32 kg h' 1 have been measured during pilot-plant operation. Sublimation rates can be significantly slowed with appropriate storage of material within insulated containers, yielding sublimation rates as low as 0.19 kg h' 1 .
- CO2 is a preferred method of rapid cooling as it boasts several other properties which make it favourable for use as a directly added coolant.
- Gaseous CO2 is non-flammable, colourless, odourless and readily recoverable from the mixing vessel via vacuum.
- the coolant could be liquid nitrogen.
- Nitrogen exists under atmospheric pressure as a colourless, low viscosity liquid at temperatures between 63.1 K and 77.3K (or -221 ,8°C and -195.9°C). It can be readily obtained from air, either via cryogenic distillation or pressure swing adsorption. The associated enthalpy change of vaporisation is +5.59 kJ mol' 1 (+199.6 kJ kg -1 ). It must be stored and transported in thermally insulated vacuum flasks to minimise evaporative losses and maintain cryogenic storage conditions.
- the coolant could also be liquid carbon dioxide.
- Carbon dioxide only exists as a liquid at pressures above 5.13 atm, and temperatures between -56.6°C (the triple point temperature of CO2) and 31.1°C (the critical temperature of CO2), so requires pressurised storage.
- the associated enthalpy change of vaporisation is +16.7 kJ mol' 1 (+379.6 kJ kg' 1 ).
- the process has an initial cooling rate of the liquid ii) of less than 2 °C/min (this is achieved by conventional cooling using a jacketed vessel, where the coolant temperature ranges from 20°C to -18°C) followed by rapid cooling at a rate of 5°C/min or above (this is achieved by direct addition into the mixing vessel of liquid carbon dioxide or nitrogen, or most preferably cardice).
- the mix is cooled at an initial cooling rate of less than 2 °C/min to 50 °C to 40 °C, preferably followed by addition of temperature sensitive ingredients such as perfume and flavour. After the initial slow cooling the mix is rapid cooled at a rate of 5°C/min or above to a temperature of 30 °C or below.
- the rapid cooling rate is 10°C/min, preferably 15°C/min, more preferably 20°C/min. Particularly preferred is a rapid cooling rate between 20°C/min and 30°C/min.
- the perfume or flavour is added at a temperature of 45 °C or below.
- the structuring components such as various forms of carrageenans, various grades of PEG, xanthan gum or a combination thereof, are either pre-mixed, or alternatively dissolved or dispersed in a portion of the bulk liquid, before they are added overhead into the mixing vessel along with the remainder of the bulk liquid phase.
- the entire in-vessel manufacturing process takes place under vacuum of at least -800 mbar(g) to minimise air entrainment.
- the liquid mixture in the vessel is first heated to an elevated temperature between 60 and 80°C and held for between 30 and 60 minutes to activate and/or sufficiently swell the structuring components. Next, the temperature may be maintained, or reduced as low as 50°C before several sequential overhead additions of the other solid active components and powdered abrasives. These are dispersed and suspended by providing appropriate levels of mixing and shear from the overhead agitators. Following the completion of all solid additions and mixing steps, the product is cooled from an elevated temperature.
- rapid cooling is achieved via the direct addition of a mass of cardice equal to between 14% and 17% of the total mass of product.
- flavourings and perfumes are added to the vessel immediately prior to the cardice, as part of the same overhead addition process.
- Adding solid cardice pellets to the viscous, elevated temperature product causes their immediate and rapid sublimation, resulting in the formation of carbon dioxide gas and causing the temperature of the product to decrease rapidly, at a rapid cooling rate of between 10°C/min and 40°C/min. After cooling to the desired product filling temperature, the product underwenta further mixing stage to encourage deaeration.
- cooling is achieved via the circulation of chilled silicon oil through the jacket surrounding the vessel.
- Product is first cooled to an intermediate temperature, preferably 45°C, with a cooling rate of between 1.1 and 1 ,3°C/min.
- Flavouring and perfumes are then added via a final overhead addition, before the product is further cooled to the required product filling temperature, (30°C) with a conventional cooling rate of between 0.6 and 0.8°C/min.
- a viscosity measurement was taken using a Brookfield
- Viscometer Model DV-I with a T bar type spindle of size E for 60 s at 5 RPM at 25°C.
