Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to antimicrobial compositions comprising a hypochlorite salt, a copper (II) salt, and an optionally acid that is an inorganic acid, an organic acid, or a combination thereof, and optionally a buffering agent, and having a chlorine concentration of between 0.1 ppm and 300 ppm and a copper (II) concentration of between 0.1 ppm and 300 ppm. Methods of making and using these compositions is also described.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the control and the treatment of post-harvest diseases in fruits and vegetables by means of simultaneous and combined application of (i) a first formulation, which is aqueous or in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate, which comprises a plant extract and is applied in the form of an aqueous solution and (ii) a second formulation, in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate, soluble liquid or concentrated suspension, which is applied as an aqueous solution, selected from amongst: a plant-strengthening formulation that contains at least one phosphite salt; a fungicidal formulation that contains at least one synthetic fungicide of the phosphonate family, preferably ethyl phosphonic acid salts; or a combination thereof. Each formulation may be a different composition or form part of a single composition. A further subject matter of the present invention is therefore said composition for post-harvest protection of fruits and vegetables which is constituted by the combination of the aforementioned components.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the pre- or post-harvest fungicidal and/or bactericidal treatment of plant products, using at least phosphonic acid that is at least partially salified and eugenol or clove oil, at ambient temperature, as well as to the compositions adapted for said method.
Abstract:
The object of the invention is to provide a bioactive agent in which the bioactive effectiveness of ferric iron salt and/or ferric ferrous iron salt contained therein is stabilized, making long term preservation possible, so that the bioactive agent can be useful as an original solution for medical use, as a soil conditioner, or the like. An iron-magnesium mixture solution is provided in the invention, wherein the iron-magnesium mixture solution is produced by mixing an aqueous solution containing a ferric iron salt and/or a ferric ferrous iron salt in a concentration of not less than 0.5 mol/L as iron in the ferric iron salt and/or the ferric ferrous iron salt, and an aqueous solution containing a magnesium salt in a concentration of not less than 0.2 mol/L as magnesium in the magnesium salt.

Abstract:
Described herein is an edible coating for food products in which the coatings comprises a polysaccharide cross-linked with a cross-linking agent solution. Also described herein are methods for coating food products and forming clusters of food products. The use of the edible coating for extending the shelf-life of food products is also described.
Abstract:
Methods for protecting fruit, vegetables and ornamentals against post harvest microbial decay by applying systemic acquired resistance inducers in combination with sorbic acid, and/or one or more of its alkali metal salts, and/or phosphorous acid, and/or one or more of its alkali metal salts.
Abstract:
The subject of the present invention is to provide a bioactivator which is useful as a medicine, growth promoting agent for plants and animals, and the like, wherein the bioactive effectiveness of a ferric salt is reinforced and stabilized. One or more kind of vitamin selected from a group consisting of vitamins C, E and K is (are) added to a ferric salt as an anti-oxidizing and bioactivity reinforcing agent, with a magnesium salt being further added as a stabilizer.
