Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is directed to effervescent compositions comprising a basic amino acid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An effervescent oral care composition in the form of a powder or granulate comprising arginine bicarbonate, citric acid, and an additional carbonate salt selected from sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate, wherein carbon dioxide is produced when the composition is dissolved in water; wherein the arginine bicarbonate is present in an amount of 10% to 21% by weight of the composition, wherein citric acid is present in an amount of 38% to 45%, and wherein the oral care composition does not contain calcium. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the additional carbonate salt is potassium carbonate. 3. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a fluoride source selected from stannous fluoride, sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate, sodium fluorosilicate, ammonium fluorosilicate, amine fluoride, ammonium fluoride, and combinations thereof. 4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the fluoride source is sodium fluoride or stannous fluoride. 5. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the fluoride source is present in an amount of 0.03 to 5 wt% of the composition. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is water-free. 7. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a flavoring agent. 8. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising zinc citrate. 9. An effervescent oral care composition in the form of a powder or granulate consisting of arginine bicarbonate, citric acid, an additional carbonate salt selected from sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate; an antimicrobial consisting of zinc salts, a fluoride source selected from stannous fluoride, sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate, sodium fluorosilicate, ammonium fluorosilicate, amine fluoride, ammonium fluoride, and combinations thereof, and a flavoring agent; wherein carbon dioxide is produced when the composition is dissolved in water, wherein the arginine bicarbonate is present in an amount of 10% to 21% by weight of the composition, wherein citric acid is present in an amount of 38% to 45%, and wherein the oral care composition does not contain calcium. 10. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising zinc salts. 11. The composition of claim 10 , wherein the zinc salts comprise zinc citrate.
