- the pH is assessed in supernatant after one minute or the taking reading is stabilized.
- the electrode is washed with deionized water. Any excess water is wiped with a laboratory grade tissue. When not in issue, the electrode is kept immersed in a pH 7 buffer solution or an appropriate electrode storage solution.
- Fig. 1 describes dentifrice formulations of Examples 1 –15.
- the examples provide the data summarizes in Table 1-5 below.
- Examples 1-5 as described by the formulations of Figure 1, are briefly summarized. Examples 2-5 notable contain varying amounts of Iota-carrageenan (0.4 wt%to 2 wt%) , except Control E (i.e., Example 1) which does not contain any carrageenan. Examples 1-5 contain the humectant Sorbitol at 17 wt%. Examples 1-3 contain sodium carboxymethyl cellulose while examples 4 and 5 do not. Examples 1-4 contain thickening silica while example 5 does not.
- Example 5 the lowest soluble fluoride drop on a parts per million (ppm) basis (column furthest on the right) is demonstrated by Example 5 by having 2 wt%of Iota-carrageenan having only a ppm drop value of 527. The lower the soluble fluoride ion drop, the more stable the formulation. Example 5 had the highest amount of Iota-carrageenan between the five examples and therefore demonstrated the best soluble fluoride ion stability among the five formulations. Control E (example 1) had the poorest soluble fluoride stability at 910 ppm.
- Table 2 below demonstrates that Lambda-carrageenan is the best between the three carrageenans in demonstrating fluoride ion stability on an equal weight basis.
- Examples 6-10 as described by the formulations of Figure 1, are briefly summarized. Examples 6, 7, and 8 have increasing weight percentages (wt%) of Iota-Carrageen at 1 wt%, 2 wt%, and 3 wt%, respectively.
- Example 9 has Kappa-carrageenan type at 2 wt%and Example 10 at Lambda-carrageenan type at 2 wt%.
- Example 10 the lowest soluble fluoride drop on a ppm basis (column furthest on the right) is demonstrated by Example 10 by having 2 wt%of Lambda-carrageenan having only a ppm drop value of 671. Examples 7, 8, and 10 all have equal amounts (2 wt%) of each respective carrageenan type. Lambda-carrageenan (example 10) is the most effective for soluble fluoride ion stability, while Kappa-carrageenan (example 9) is the least effective at 1047.
- the increasing amount of Iota-carrageenan of examples 6, 7, and 8 respectively show increasing amount of soluble fluoride ion stability (evidenced by the lower ppm drops of 1011, 828, and 749, respectively) .
- Example 11 contains Iota-carrageenan at 1.4 wt%.
- Control A (Example 11) and Control B (Example 13) formulations do not have any carrageenan.
- Control A and Control B formulations both have slightly more sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and thickening silica than Example 11, but notably Control B also has tetra sodium pyrophosphate (TSPP) .
- CMC carboxymethyl cellulose
- TSPP tetra sodium pyrophosphate
- Example 12 does not contain carrageenan, but does contain tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP) .
- Example 11 is at pH 9.4 and contains 1.414 wt%of Iota-carrageenan, and also notably contains CMC and silica.
- Control C (Example 14) and Control D (Example 15) formulations are at a lower pH of 7.8 and 8.3, respectively.
- Controls C and D both also contain Iota-carrageenan at 2 wt%and 1.4 wt%, respectively.
- the weight percentages of silica, saccharine, and monofluorophosphate slightly of Controls C and D differ from Example 11. Compared to example 11, Control C and D also has a lower level of calcium carbonate (25 wt%vs. 42 wt%) and higher level of water (65.32 wt%v. 48.96 wt%) .
- Example 11 has the best fluoride ion stability effects at 4 weeks at 60°C having the highest pH of 9.4 by having a soluble fluoride ion drop of 47%compared to Controls C and D which had much higher drop percentage at60%and 58%, respectively. Therefore, the data suggests that pH 8.3 is better than 7.8, and pH 9.4 is better than 8.3 when it comes to fluoride ion stability.
