Abstract:
1. An oil-free, non-dairy, shelf-stable liquid whitening composition comprising: titanium dioxide in an amount of about 0.05 to about 1 percent by weight of the whitening composition; a stabilizing system comprising a blend of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and carrageenans in an amount sufficient to suspend the whitening agent both in the liquid whitening composition and in an aqueous media to which the liquid whitening composition is added, and a total amount of the MCC and CMC is about 0.1 to about 1 percent by weight of the whitening composition; the stabilizing system maintains the liquid whitening composition in a homogeneous state in the composition for at least about 9 months at ambient temperatures; and the stabilizing system provides for suspension of the whitening composition in the aqueous media.
