We can certainly work with you to source materials. Email cg2022@biofuranchem.com to discuss.

We use mandelic acid to make it’s esters, ionic liquids, and salts. What quantities are trying to get?

Keratin can be obtained from wasted biomaterials such as poultry feathers. Apart from the mainstream alkaline hydrolysis processes, the use of ionic liquids provides some operational advantages. Not sure if this is path you want to go but if you are willing and have the time and resources, this is something to consider. If you’re interested, I can suggest some ionic liquids that have been demonstrated to work.
-
Possible with good rinse.
-
Theoretically, sodium chloride reacts with sulfuric acid to generate HCl gas. Not sure (or wouldn’t advise) if this chemistry could be used as an antidote for low stomach acid.

Can be removed with vinegar which slowly for zinc acetate, soluble zinc salt.
-
how about zinc ricinoleate?

Just curious what solvents you tried so far.
-
Ferulic acid at 0.5 to 1% or its esters are known to stabilize tocopherols. Since you are using tocopherol acetate, you may need to consider ferulic acid ethyl ester.

@ChemicalPyros, I enjoyed the explanation! Reminded me of the time I was a general chemistry teacher.

BioFuran Materials LLC supplies ingredients and additives in smaller quantities. They focus mainly on esters, salts, and ionic liquids.

What quantities of the caprylate, caprate or both would work for your trials?
-
How about potassium caprate/caprylate?

Sorry for the overload but here is another, more balanced review.https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Rahul_Tade2/publication/327498041_Safety_and_Toxicity_Assessment_of_Parabens_in_Pharmaceutical_and_Food_Products/links/5b92085492851c78c4f3e75c/Safety-and-Toxicity-Assessment-of-Parabens-in-Pharmaceutical-and-Food-Products.pdf

I hear you. It’s just that there is a lot of information out there suggesting so and also to the contrary. Here is one recent review that supports your nontoxicity notions, https://www.contactderm.org/UserFiles/file/Paraben_Toxicology-Fransway.pdf
-
Parabens, benzoates, and nitrates have bad toxicity reputation. Have you considered sodium levulinate and sodium anisate?
-
Good luck and have fun with the tests.

I have two of the three ionic liquids listed above in my lab. Let me know if I can send you small samples to try.
-
Not sure if you have to dilute it. But if you decide to dilute, ionic liquids are soluble in alcohols, water, or organic solvents. Since you want to use DMSO, for your process, there are some journal articles that suggest that cellulose solubility is better in a 1:1 mixture of ionic liquid and aprotic solvents such as DMSO. Hence you can try 1 DMSO : 1 ionic liquid. Go for it @ Leo. Let’s see what you get.
-
Start on the low end and if solubility is good, you can get up to 30g of powder in 100g ionic liquid. Raising the temperature of the mixture to about 100C may boost solubility too.
-
I would suggest you try all three and pick the one that gives the best solubility and compatibility with your other materials. If you were to pick one, I would suggest N,N-dimethylethanolammonium formate first.
-
N,N-dimethylethanolammonium formate, 2-hydroxyethylammonium formate or 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate.

Zinc ricinoleate | BioFuran Materials
Zinc ricinoleate is a low-melting, organic zinc salt of castor oil-derived ricinoleic acid. It is known to offer outstanding malodor absorbing properties by binding and trapping bad smells. The zinc in zinc ricinoleate selectively binds nitrogen and sulfur moieties of … Continue reading
