Definitions
- the present invention relates to cationic inulin, in particular hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin.
- Cationic inulins have been described in WO 96/34017 and WO 98/14482.
- Quaternary ammonium substituted fructan derivatives have been disclosed in WO 98/14482, wherein mostly inulins derived from chicory with a degree of polymerization of 2 to 60 have been used to produce hydroxypropyltrimonium inulins.
- cationic inulins with a higher DP with a high degree of substitution of cationic groups are described.
- Such high DS cationic inulins are well soluble in water but generally have an unsatisfactory biodegradability.
- Cationic inulins are sold by Cosun under the tradename Quatin®, i.e. Quatin® 350, Quatin® 680 and Quatin® 1280. These cationic inulins are beneficially used in several applications, e.g. cosmetic compositions (in WO 2020/207642, EP 3 536 384 and FR 2 795 953), detergent compositions (in EP 3 315 593) and as a pesticide (in WO 2020/25592). There is still a need for improved properties of these cationic inulins in the various applications.
- the objective of the present invention is to provide a novel hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin.
- the present invention pertains to a hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin wherein at least 90% of the inulin has a degree of polymerization of at least 10, and the degree of substitution with the hydroxypropyltrimonium group is at least 0.31 and at most 0.7.
- the cationic inulin of the invention has improved coacervation properties compared to conventional cationic inulin having a similar degree of substitution (DS) of cationic groups. It was found that the degree of substitution of the cationic inulin of the invention which is based on longer chain cationic inulin has a coacervation property comparable or even better than conventional cationic inulin with a higher degree of substitution of cationic groups, or even a DS twice as high.
- Such conventional cationic inulin examples include Quatin® 1280 and Quatin® 680.
- Such improved coacervation property is particularly observed in combination with surfactants, particularly anionic surfactants.
- This renders the inventive cationic inulin suitable for use in cosmetic compositions, and in particular those cosmetic compositions suitable for washing or cleaning.
- the inventive inulin enables a reduced or low combing force (through hair) and/or an improved deposition (onto hair), in particular of the cationic inulin of the invention, coacervates thereof and/or insoluble actives such as silicones.
- coacervate or “coacervation” refer to (the process of creating) an insoluble complex formed between a cationic component, in this case cationic inulin or hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin, and an anionic component such as an anionic surfactant when diluted with water.
- a coacervate generally contains a high level of cationic charge and is known to deposit the polymer on hair and enhance the adsorption of insoluble actives.
- the inulin of the invention can be easily processed, no additional handling is necessary for hydration of the cosmetic composition, and the inventive inulin can be easily rinsed off from hair or skin, and hence generally no build up of the cationic inulin of the invention is observed after multiple hair washing treatments.
- the inventive inulin provides an improved sensoric profile during washing, during drying and after drying of hair, including better flash foam formation, increased creaminess and improved skin feel.
- the lower degree of substitution allows for an improved biodegradability and/or an improved aquatic toxicity.
- the cationic inulin is a bio-based product.
- the hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin of the invention has good film forming properties.
- the inventive inulin can be used in detergent compositions, and generally reduces spotting and/or filming on hard surfaces such as glass and polymer surfaces.
- the inventive cationic inulin can furthermore be used as pesticide, fungicide, algaecide, dessicant and/or extending the shelf life of fruits and/or vegetables.
- the hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin is an inulin which comprises 2-hydroxypropyl 3- trimethylammonio propyl groups also referred to as hydroxypropyltrimonium groups.
- the hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin of the invention has a degree of substitution (DS) of the hydroxypropyltrimonium groups of at least 0.31 and at most 0.7.
- the DS is at least 0.31 to allow for a more homogenous substitution of the hydroxypropyltrimonium groups over the inulin, and therewith ensuring a suitable solubility of the resulting cationic inulin in an aqueous medium.
- the DS of at most 0.7 is selected to ensure an improved biodegradability compared to the cationic inulin with DS of at least 0.7, while simultaneously having good and improved coacervation properties.
- the DS is at least 0.32, more preferably at least 0.33 and most preferably at least 0.35, and preferably at most 0.68, more preferably at most 0.65, even more preferably at most 0.6, even more preferably at most 0.55 and most preferably at most 0.5.
- the degree of substitution or DS is defined as the cationic group content, preferably hydroxypropyltrimonium group, per monosaccharide unit.
- a DS of 0.5 refers to a cationic inulin comprising one cationic group per two monomeric monosaccharide units.
- the degree of substitution can be determined using methods known in the art.
- the Kjeldahl method is used to determine the nitrogen content, which is then converted to degree of substitution.
- the Kjeldahl is well established and well known to the person skilled in the art.
- the Kjeldahl method is performed by hydrolyzing a sample using H2SO4 at 420°C for 2 hours, during which the proteins will be converted to ammonia. The generated ammonia is distilled off and the amount of nitrogen is measured by titration.
- the degree of substitution of the hydroxypropyltrimonium groups is calculated using the nitrogen content.
- the hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin of the invention comprises inulin of which at least 90 wt% has a degree of polymerization of at least 10, based on the total weight of the hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin.
- Conventional cationic inulins like Quatin® 350, Quatin® 680 and Quatin® 1280 generally have less than 70 wt% of inulin having a degree of polymerization of at least 10.
- the inventive inulin comprises inulin of which at least 95 wt% has a degree of polymerization of at least 10 and most preferably at least 98 wt% has a degree of polymerization of at least 10, based on the total weight of the hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin.
- At least 90 wt% of the inulin has a degree of polymerization of at least 11, preferably at least 12 and most preferably at least 13, based on the total weight of the hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin.
- the degree of polymerization can be determined using methods known in the art.
- the degree of polymerization is determined before the inulin is substituted with cationic groups. Examples of such methods include size exclusion chromatography and HPAEC-PAD (High Performance anion exchange chromatography coupled to pulsed amperometric detection).
- HPAEC-PAD High Performance anion exchange chromatography coupled to pulsed amperometric detection.
- a preferred method is a method based on HPAEC-PAD.
- inulin has its conventional meaning and refers to polysaccharides comprising P(2, 1 ) linked fructofuranose units and a glucopyranose unit.
- Inulin is a natural product and can be obtained from chicory, dahlias and Jerusalem artichokes. Preferably, the inulin is obtained from chicory.
- the degree of polymerization of inulin generally ranges from 2 to 60.
- Commercial cationic inulin such as Quatin® 350 generally have a degree of polymerization ranging from 2 to 60.

Description
CATIONIC INULIN
The present invention relates to cationic inulin, in particular hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin.
Cationic inulins have been described in WO 96/34017 and WO 98/14482. Quaternary ammonium substituted fructan derivatives have been disclosed in WO 98/14482, wherein mostly inulins derived from chicory with a degree of polymerization of 2 to 60 have been used to produce hydroxypropyltrimonium inulins. Also cationic inulins with a higher DP with a high degree of substitution of cationic groups (DS well above 1) are described. Such high DS cationic inulins are well soluble in water but generally have an unsatisfactory biodegradability.
Cationic inulins are sold by Cosun under the tradename Quatin®, i.e. Quatin® 350, Quatin® 680 and Quatin® 1280. These cationic inulins are beneficially used in several applications, e.g. cosmetic compositions (in WO 2020/207642, EP 3 536 384 and FR 2 795 953), detergent compositions (in EP 3 315 593) and as a pesticide (in WO 2020/25592). There is still a need for improved properties of these cationic inulins in the various applications.
The objective of the present invention is to provide a novel hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin.
The present invention pertains to a hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin wherein at least 90% of the inulin has a degree of polymerization of at least 10, and the degree of substitution with the hydroxypropyltrimonium group is at least 0.31 and at most 0.7. The cationic inulin of the invention has improved coacervation properties compared to conventional cationic inulin having a similar degree of substitution (DS) of cationic groups. It was found that the degree of substitution of the cationic inulin of the invention which is based on longer chain cationic inulin has a coacervation property comparable or even better than conventional cationic inulin with a higher degree of substitution of cationic groups, or even a DS twice as high. Examples of such conventional cationic inulin include Quatin® 1280 and Quatin® 680. Such improved coacervation property is particularly observed in combination with surfactants, particularly anionic surfactants. This renders the inventive cationic inulin suitable for use in cosmetic compositions, and in particular those cosmetic compositions suitable for washing or cleaning. In hair cleaning or conditioning compositions, the inventive inulin enables a reduced or low combing force (through hair) and/or an improved deposition (onto hair), in particular of the cationic inulin of the invention, coacervates thereof and/or insoluble actives such as silicones. The wordings “coacervate” or “coacervation” refer to (the process of creating) an insoluble complex formed between a cationic component, in this case cationic inulin or hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin, and an anionic component such as an anionic surfactant when diluted with water. A coacervate generally contains a high level of cationic
charge and is known to deposit the polymer on hair and enhance the adsorption of insoluble actives. The inulin of the invention can be easily processed, no additional handling is necessary for hydration of the cosmetic composition, and the inventive inulin can be easily rinsed off from hair or skin, and hence generally no build up of the cationic inulin of the invention is observed after multiple hair washing treatments. The inventive inulin provides an improved sensoric profile during washing, during drying and after drying of hair, including better flash foam formation, increased creaminess and improved skin feel. The lower degree of substitution allows for an improved biodegradability and/or an improved aquatic toxicity. Moreover, the cationic inulin is a bio-based product. In addition, the hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin of the invention has good film forming properties. The inventive inulin can be used in detergent compositions, and generally reduces spotting and/or filming on hard surfaces such as glass and polymer surfaces. The inventive cationic inulin can furthermore be used as pesticide, fungicide, algaecide, dessicant and/or extending the shelf life of fruits and/or vegetables.
The hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin is an inulin which comprises 2-hydroxypropyl 3- trimethylammonio propyl groups also referred to as hydroxypropyltrimonium groups. The hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin of the invention has a degree of substitution (DS) of the hydroxypropyltrimonium groups of at least 0.31 and at most 0.7. The DS is at least 0.31 to allow for a more homogenous substitution of the hydroxypropyltrimonium groups over the inulin, and therewith ensuring a suitable solubility of the resulting cationic inulin in an aqueous medium. The DS of at most 0.7 is selected to ensure an improved biodegradability compared to the cationic inulin with DS of at least 0.7, while simultaneously having good and improved coacervation properties. Preferably, the DS is at least 0.32, more preferably at least 0.33 and most preferably at least 0.35, and preferably at most 0.68, more preferably at most 0.65, even more preferably at most 0.6, even more preferably at most 0.55 and most preferably at most 0.5. The degree of substitution or DS is defined as the cationic group content, preferably hydroxypropyltrimonium group, per monosaccharide unit. A DS of 0.5 refers to a cationic inulin comprising one cationic group per two monomeric monosaccharide units. The degree of substitution can be determined using methods known in the art. For the purposes of this application, the Kjeldahl method is used to determine the nitrogen content, which is then converted to degree of substitution. The Kjeldahl is well established and well known to the person skilled in the art. In this application the Kjeldahl method is performed by hydrolyzing a sample using H2SO4 at 420°C for 2 hours, during which the proteins will be converted to ammonia. The generated ammonia is distilled off and the amount of nitrogen is measured by titration. The degree of substitution of the hydroxypropyltrimonium groups is calculated using the nitrogen content.
The hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin of the invention comprises inulin of which at least 90 wt% has a degree of polymerization of at least 10, based on the total weight of the hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin. Conventional cationic inulins like Quatin® 350, Quatin® 680 and Quatin® 1280 generally have less than 70 wt% of inulin having a degree of polymerization of at least 10.

Example 1 : hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin (DS of 0.31)
90 g 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl-trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTA) is dissolved in 470 ml demineralized water. Subsequently, 130 g of inulin having 95% of the inulin with a degree of polymerization of at least 10 is added to the solution over a period of 15 minutes while stirring the solution. The resulting solution is heated to 45°C while adding 49 g of a 50 wt% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and maintained at 45 °C for 3 hours. The solution is subsequently heated to 75°C and kept at 75°C for 90 minutes. The resulting solution is cooled to room temperature and the pH is adjusted to between 5 and 5.5 using a 6 M hydrogen chloride solution. The average degree of substitution of hydroxypropyltrimonium groups was determined to be 0.31 using the Kjeldahl method.
Example 2: hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin (DS of 0.68)
230 g 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl-trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTA) is dissolved in 350 ml demineralized water. Subsequently, 130 g of inulin having 95% of the inulin with a degree of polymerization of at least 10 is added to the solution over a period of 15 minutes while stirring the solution. The resulting solution is heated to 45°C while adding 49 g of a 50 wt% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and maintained at 45 °C for 3 hours. The solution is subsequently heated to 75°C and kept at 75°C for 90 minutes. The resulting soliution is cooled to room temperature and the pH is adjusted to between 5 and 5.5 using a 6 M hydrogen chloride solution. The average degree of substitution of hydroxypropyltrimonium groups was determined to be 0.68 using the Kjeldahl method.
Example 3: Shampoo and coacervation behaviour
A shampoo is prepared according to Table 1 using the following steps:
1. Add the components in the indicated order (stir until homogeneity).
2. Adjust the pH to 4.5 - 5.0 by using citric acid.
The resulting transparent shampoos were diluted with water in separate transparent cups according to the dilution sequence as tabulated in Table 2.
Table 2: Dilution of the basic shampoos
The shampoo becomes a milky suspension as the coacervate turns into an insoluble complex and flocculates. The shampoo of Comparative Example A reveals non-transparent milky suspensions in cups 4 to 8 and somewhat less non-transparent milky suspensions in cups 9 and 10. The shampoo of Example 3 reveals non-transparent milky suspensions in cups 3 to 10 and somewhat less non-transparent milky suspensions in cups 2 and 11. These results show that the shampoo in according with the invention has better coacervation properties than the shampoo of Comparative Example A.
Example 4: Shampoo and coacervation behaviour
Similar shampoos were prepared as in Example 3 except that sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (Pureact LSR) is used instead of sodium laureth ether sulfate. The shampoo according to the invention is referred to as Example 4 and the shampoo of Comparative Example B comprises Quatin® 680. The shampoo of Comparative Example B reveals non-transparent milky suspensions in cups 9 to 10 and somewhat less non-transparent milky suspensions in cups 8, 11 and 12. The shampoo of Example 4 reveals non-transparent milky suspensions in cups 5 to 10 and somewhat less non-transparent milky suspensions in cups 1 to 4, 11 and 12. These results show that the shampoo in according with the invention has better coacervation properties than the shampoo of Comparative Example B.
Example 5: Hair properties
A shampoo is prepared according to Table 3 using the following steps:
1. Add the components in the indicated order (stir until homogeneity).
2. Adjust the pH to 4.5 - 5.0 by using citric acid.
3. Add Sodium Chloride using the above concentrations.
60 volunteers with slightly punished hair washed their hair for a week with the control shampoo. During the experiment, one half of the hair was treated with the control shampoo (i.e “Control”) and the other half was treated with the shampoo comprising cationic inulin. Three groups of 20 volunteers were treated with shampoo containing Quatin 350 (Comparative Example B), shampoo containing Quatin 680 (Comparative Example C) and shampoo containing the cationic inulin of Example 1 (Example 5). During treatment, the test parameters were assessed by an experienced hair stylist (expert grading) consecutively. The assessment was done using a 5-point classification scale comparable to school marks (1 : "insufficient" to 5: "very good") with the possibility to assign half marks. In the Table below the test parameters are shown as differences with the Control.
Table 4: Test parameters of Comparative Examples B and C and Example 5
From Table 4 it can be deduced that the overall performance is better for the shampoo of Example 5 compared to the shampoos of Comparative Examples B and C. All shampoos comprising cationic inulin perform better than the control shampoo.
