Cyclodextrin compositions including one or more radiation polymerizable monomers and a cyclodextrin inclusion complex, the cyclodextrin inclusion complex including a cyclodextrin compound and an olefinic inhibitor of an ethylene generation in produce, are coated onto packaging materials and cured. Treated containers and treated package inserts having the cured cyclodextrin compositions are useful in packaging of respiring plant materials.

The present document describes an aqueous nano-emulsion formulation comprising an oil, a solvent a sorbate, a saponin, in an amount sufficient to form a nano-emulsion of said oil in water and sufficient water to make 100 weight percent. The document also describes the use of the nano-emulsion formulation as disinfectant, pesticides and/or plant growth regulator.

A clathrate of 1-methylcyclopropene with α-cyclodextrin, obtained as a solid particulate product, is modified by comminuting, classifying, or both to obtain a modified particulate. When subjected to identical atmospheric disgorgement conditions of humidity and temperature, identical masses of the modified and unmodified particulates exhibit different rates of 1-methylcyclopropene disgorgement. Specifically, we have found that a smaller mean particle size is inversely related to a greater rate of 1-methylcyclopropene release.

A smoking article case with a hand care function may be provided. The smoking article case according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes a body portion in which an inner space for storing a smoking article is formed and a cover which is connected to the body portion, wherein a functional care zone may be formed on at least a portion of an outer surface of the body portion and an outer surface of the cover. Microcapsules containing a functional material are applied on the functional care zone, and as the microcapsules are crushed by a smoker's rubbing motion and the functional material is discharged from the crushed microcapsules, the hand care function may be provided to the smoker.

The present invention relates to a liquid spreading composition with ectoparasiticidal activity. The invention also relates to a method and use of such a liquid spreading composition for combating ectoparasites in human and veterinary medicine, as well as in agricultural, horticultural and/or garden environments. The composition comprises at least one emollient ester and isohexadecane, wherein the weight ratio of said at least one emollient ester to isohexadecane is within 1:9 to 7:3. The invention improves the spreading properties of a composition enabling it for an efficient delivery of an active substance or substances over the surface of the host on which it is applied. The spreading composition may also be used alone for an efficient ectoparasiticidal treatment in human and veterinary medicine, as well as for combating ectoparasites in agricultural, horticultural and/or garden environments. With at least one additional agent the spreading composition may also be used in cosmetic, as well as for pest control, including insect and rodent control.
