摘要:
A non-toxic composition for the treatment and prevention of ectoparasite infestations is provided. In its most basic form, the composition comprises a combination of effective amounts of cinnamon oil, oregano oil and either citronella oil or lavender oil. Additional oils, including both citronella oil and lavender oil, in addition to peppermint oil, orange oil, tea tree oil and rosemary oil may be added to the composition while still maintaining the efficacy of the composition. The composition may be combined with a carrier agent and the combination may be applied to a subject to effect the elimination of ectoparasites and the prevention of new infestations. Preferably, the carrier agent is a shampoo, a conditioner, a non-aqueous spray, a body wash or a lotion.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for the control and management of wildlife populations (including domesticated animals) and pests such as rodents, birds including geese, deer and other herbivores such as rabbits, ground hogs, raccoons, moose and elk, tunneling animals such as moles, voles and gophers and insects, carnivores and other organisms such as predators. Specifically provided are FIFRA exemption-based formulations which may be applied to natural or artificial surfaces.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are antimicrobial compositions and methods of producing an antimicrobial effect in which a citrus extract such as Biosecur® is used in combination with benzyl alcohol and one or more additional agent selected from the group consisting of lauroyl arginate/glyceryl laurate and essential oils or constituents thereof such as galangal oil, thyme oil, thymol, cinnamon leaf oil, cinnamon bark oil, lemongrass oil, orange oil, pine oil, cedarwood oil, curry leaf oil, and rosemary oil. These compositions may be used as natural preservatives for personal care products, foods, beverages, and as topical or surface disinfectants.
摘要:
Novel plant essential oil-based antimicrobial filming compositions that are useful in protecting, repairing and strengthening the natural slime coat found on fish are disclosed, which compositions are comprised of a mixture of plant essential oils having antimicrobial properties, filming agents, and surfactants.
摘要:
A composition, an encapsulated composition and/or nanoparticles comprising at least one essential oil having a large spectrum antibacterial, antiparasitic, antifungal activity and/or a plant antipathogen, optionally at least one antibiotic and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is disclosed. Methods for treating infectious diseases and especially bacterial, parasitic, fungal and/or plant infectious by using this composition, encapsulated composition and/or nanoparticles are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to an insect repellant composition comprising geraniol, thyme oil, vanillin, and a castor oil based emulsifier. The insect repellant composition is mechanically aerially dispersed over a region such that it evaporates during dispersement and from the landing surface. In an alternate embodiment, the insect repellant is applied topically.
摘要:
The invention relates to diallyl disulfide and cinnamon oil formulations, for protecting plants from nematodes and other plant pathogens. The invention provides a method for suppressing plant damage by nematodes and other plant pathogens, which comprises the concurrent administration, to the locus, soil or seeds of plants in need of such treatment, of (a) cinnamon oil (and/or its component cinnamaldehyde), (b) an effective quantity of diallyl disulfide, as well as nematocidal compositions useful therein.
摘要:
A method for forming a composition that includes mixing an antimicrobially active botanical oil (e.g., thymol, carvacrol, etc.) and a modified starch polymer within a melt blending device (e.g., extruder) is provided. Unlike the problems associated with proteins, the use of starch polymers allows for a greater degree of flexibility in the processing conditions and is still able to achieve good properties in the resulting composition. The present inventors have also discovered that a plasticizer may be employed to facilitate melt processing of the starch, as well as to enhance the ability of the botanical oil to flow into the internal structure of the starch where it can be retained in a stable manner. The composition is also typically generally free of solvents. In this manner, the starch will not generally disperse before use and prematurely release the botanical oil. Due to the water sensitivity of the modified starch, however, it may be subsequently dispersed by moisture when it is desired to release the botanical oil.
