Abstract

Water-based release coatings are disclosed. The water-based release coatings include a homogenous blend of water, a surfactant comprising saponin glycosides, and lecithin. The mixture of saponin glycosides are preferably derived from the Quillaja plant. The release coatings can be used for reducing or preventing build-up on a cooking surface.

Claims (20)

1. A release coating comprising a blend of:

a) from 40% to less than 70% by weight water, based on the total weight of the release coating;

b) from 2% to 20% by weight of saponin glycosides derived from a Quillaja plant, based on the total weight of the release coating; and

c) lecithin.

2. The release coating of claim 1 , wherein the saponin glycosides is a component of a surfactant, the surfactant present in an amount from 2% to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the release coating.

3. The release coating of claim 2 , wherein the surfactant does not comprise a synthetically derived surfactant.

4. The release coating of claim 1 , wherein the lecithin is an unmodified lecithin derived from a plant source.

5. The release coating of claim 1 , wherein the lecithin is present in an amount from 5% to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the release coating.

6. The release coating of claim 1 , wherein the release coating further comprises an oil, the oil selected from soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, palm oil, coconut oil, rice bran oil, rapeseed oil, ground nut oil, grapeseed oil, ghee, canola oil, olive oil, flax oil, hemp oil, borage oil, avocado oil, pumpkin oil, wheatgerm oil, evening primrose oil, or starflower oil.

7. The release coating of claim 6 , wherein the oil is present in an amount from 0.5% to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the release coating.

8. The release coating of claim 1 , further comprising a preservative, wherein the preservative is selected from acetic acid, citric acid, sodium benzoate, benzoic acid, or mixtures thereof.

9. The release coating of claim 1 , wherein the release coating is an oil-in-water emulsion, wherein the emulsion is stable for at least 6 months.

10. An aerosol composition comprising an aerosol container containing a release coating of claim 1 and a propellant.

11. A release coating concentrate, comprising:

a) less than 70% by weight water;

b) from 3% to 50% by weight of saponin glycosides derived from a Quillaja plant, the saponin glycosides serving as a surfactant;

c) from 3% to 50% by weight of lecithin; and

d) from 0.1% to 5% by weight of a preservative.

12. The release coating of claim 1 , wherein the release coating further comprises canola oil, the canola oil present in an amount from 0.5% to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the release coating.

13. The release coating concentrate of claim 11 , wherein the release coating further comprises canola oil, the canola oil present in an amount from 0.5% to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the release coating.
