摘要:
There is disclosed method of killing nematodes comprising the step of applying an effective amount of a nematicidal composition comprising a terpene component and compositions suitable for use in the method. The terpene component is preferably in association with water, either as a solution or a suspension. An excipient may also be included, which is suitably hollow glucan particles which encapsulate the terpene component.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising terpenes and hollow glucan particles or cell wall particles and methods for preparing such compositions. The compositions increase terpene stability and activity and provide a suitable carrier for the terpenes. The invention also relates to methods of using such compositions in the medical, veterinary and agricultural fields.
摘要:
Composition and methods for improving air quality, disinfecting surfaces, and prevention of a respiratory infection. The method can decrease pathogen and/or parasitic concentrations in closed rooms and surfaces by the application of an antiseptic composition. The composition can be a pressurized or foaming solution containing a single terpene, a terpene mixture, and/or a liposome:terpene(s) combination with or without surfactant. The composition can be a true solution of an effective amount of an effective terpene and a carrier such as water. The composition can be a suspension or emulsion of terpene, surfactant, and carrier. Application can be, for example, by spraying a confined space with a solution of the present invention.
摘要:
Pesticides for the extermination of terrestrial arthropods are disclosed which comprise formulations of a combination of terpenes in aqueous solutions which may be used together with citral. No resistance to the formulations of the invention has been seen. When used on the scalp or body for lice infestation no extended dwell time is required. The formulations do not have unpleasant odors. The formulations are directed towards providing topical preparations which may be used on the skin, scalp and hairy body parts of humans and animals, sprays for use directly against terrestrial arthropods, a dipping solution for combs and a laundry additive, amongst others.
摘要:
There is described a method of killing an insect or arachnid, said method comprising the step of administering to said insect or arachnid in an effective dose a composition comprising a hollow glucan particle or cell wall particle encapsulating a terpene component.
摘要:
Composition and methods for preservation of food and/or prevention of gastrointestinal infection. A composition comprising a single terpene, a terpene mixture, or a liposome-terpene(s) composition is disclosed. The composition can be a true solution of an effective amount of an effective terpene and a carrier such as water. The composition can be a suspension or emulsion of terpene, surfactant, and carrier. The composition(s) of the invention can be applied directly to food or to articles or devices used in food handling. Application can be, for example, by spraying a solution of the present invention. A true solution of terpene and water can be formed by mixing terpene and water at a solution-forming shear rate in the absence of a surfactant.
摘要:
Treatments are disclosed which comprise formulations of one or more terpenes in aqueous solutions. No resistance to the formulation of the invention has been seen. When used on the scalp or body no extended dwell time is required. The formulations do not have unpleasant odours associated with prior art shampoo treatments for lice and are preferable on grounds of safety to neurotoxins, which are the usual active ingredients associated with prior art treatments. The formulations are directed towards providing topical preparations which may be used on the scalp and hairy body parts, a spray for use on fabrics, a dipping solution for combs and a laundry additive.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising a hollow glucan particle or cell wall particle encapsulating a terpene component, methods of their manufacture and their use. The compositions are suitable for preventing and treating infections in plants and animals, including humans.
