Abstract
Abstract Thickened compositions comprising about 1.5 to 20 percent of particulate proteinaceous material obtained from legume seeds, about 20.0 to 55.0 percent of a protic acid and about 40.0 to 75.0 percent of a thickening component which is water, an alkanol, an alkylcarbonyl compound or mixtures thereof. Process for preparing such compositions.

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
145 words
A process for preparing a thickened acid composition comprising the steps of: dispersing proteinaceous material derived from legume seeds and cottonseed in the amount of about 1.5 to 20 percent by weight of the total final composition in a solution of a protic acid in a solvent therefor, said protic acid being selected from the group consisting of solutions of hydrofluoric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, phenol and m-cresol in which said protic acid concentration is above 60 percent by weight of the solution and about 20.0 to 55.0 percent by weight of the total final composition; and adding a thickening component in amounts of about 40.0 to 71.0 percent of the total final composition, said thickening component containing 10 or less carbon atoms and being selected from the group consisting of water, alkanol, alkanal, alkanone and mixtures thereof.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process for preparing thickened acid compositions as recited in claim 10, wherein the thickening component includes a mineral acid.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
127 words
A process for preparing thickened acid compositions comprising the steps of: combining about 1.5 to 20 percent particulate proteinaceous material derived from legume seeds or cottonseed by weight of the total composition, about 20.0 to 55.0 percent protic acid selected from the group consisting of hydrofluoric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, phenol m-cresol and mixtures thereof by weight of the total composition and about 40.0 to 71.0 percent thickening component selected from the group consisting of water, alkanol, alkanal, alkanone and mixtures thereof by weight of the total composition, said thickening component containing ten or less carbon atoms; heating said combined constituents to a temperature above about 80* C.; and cooling said combined constituents to a temperature below about 50* C.
