Use of N-acyl aminoacids as texturing agents

摘要

N-acylated aminoacid derivatives (I) are used as texturing agents. -acylated aminoacid derivatives of formula (I) and their salts are used as texturing agents. R = 3-30C (un)saturated chain of fatty acid; R1 = chain of an aminoacid or forms with the adjacent C and N a cyclic group of an aminoacid; R2 = H or 1-3C alkyl; and provided that R1 is other than lysine, hydroxylysine or arginine. Independent claims are also included for: (1) the use of (I) in a composition comprising: (a) at least one compound (I; cyclic group of aminoacid = proline; (b) at least one compound (I; R1 = glutamic acid); and (c) optionally at least one compound (I; R1 = sarcosine; and R2 = methyl); (2) a composition (A) comprising a N-acylated aminoacid derivative of formula (I') (10-95, preferably 60-80, wt. %) and an acid of formula R'-C(O)-OH (II) (5-90, preferably 20-40, wt. %). R' = 12-22C (un)saturated chain of fatty acid.
