Kaolin compositions comprising coarse kaolin particles are disclosed herein. The kaolin compositions can include kaolin particles having a GE brightness of at least 78 and a particle size distribution wherein at least 50% by weight of the kaolin particles have an equivalent size diameter (e.s.d.) of 30 m or greater. In some embodiments, the kaolin compositions can include kaolin particles having a bimodal particle distribution. In other embodiments, the kaolin compositions can include kaolin particles having a low crystalline silica content, such as a crystalline silica content of 0.1% by weight or less and a particle size distribution wherein at least 50% by weight of the kaolin particles have an equivalent size diameter (e.s.d.) of 15 m or greater. In some embodiments, the kaolin particles can be free of crystalline silica. Methods of making and using the kaolin compositions are also disclosed herein.

The present disclosure relates to a novel flavoring agent and a product including the same, and more particularly, to a flavoring agent, that is a compound in which a moiety derived from a flavoring compound is represented by Formula 1 and which is decomposed into a lactone compound and a flavoring compound upon thermal decomposition, to a composition including the flavoring agent, and to a product including the flavoring agent.

Water-free compositions suitable for application as a surface size to a cellulosic substrate, and methods of applying the water-free compositions to the surface of a cellulosic substrate.

Compositions that can be used in a paper material, which may include an anionic polymer, a polyamidoamine epihalohydrin resin, and a stabilizer, are disclosed. Methods for adding the compositions to a paper material are also disclosed.

Provided are a flavoring agent that is a compound in which a moiety derived from a flavoring compound is represented by Formula 1 and which is decomposed into a lactone compound and a flavoring compound upon thermal decomposition, a composition including the flavoring agent, and a product including the flavoring agent.
