PROCESS FOR STRAIGHTENING KERATIN FIBRES WITH A HEATING MEANS AND DENATURING AGENTS

The invention relates to a process for straightening keratin fibres, comprising: (i) a step in which a straightening composition containing at least two denaturing agents is applied to the keratin fibres, (ii) a step in which the temperature of the keratin fibres is raised, using a heating means, to a temperature of between 110 and 250° C.

Chemical Characterization of Diketopiperazines in Beer

Diketopiperazines (DKPs) corresponding to cyclic dipeptides have been detected in a variety of natural products as well as in processed foods, beverages, and food and beverage ingredients. A series of seven proline-based diketopiperazines, namely, cyclo(Ala-Pro), cyclo(Val-Pro), cyclo(Ile-Pro), cyclo(Leu-Pro), cyclo(Met-Pro), cyclo(Phe-Pro), and cyclo(Pro-Pro), has now been identified in beer. A marketplace cross-section of five commercial beers was studied, involving products manufactured in different countries using distinctly different raw materials and brewing styles; maximum concentrations of individual diketopiperazines in various beers ranged from below detection limit to approximately 24 ppm. The flavor characteristics of these compounds were described variously as bitter, mouth coating, drying, astringent, salty, metallic, and grainy when evaluated in water at concentrations ranging from 10 to 50 ppm. However, it is questionable whether or not the diketopiperazines reported here make a significant contribution to either the aroma or taste of most beers.
