摘要:
Antimicrobial compositions are provided comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable organic acid and a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant. This synergistic combination allows compositions to be formulated at low concentrations that have efficacy in reducing bacterial counts by greater than 3 log within 5 minutes of contact while preserving the organoleptic properties of treated foods, including fresh produce. Also provided are methods for the use of the compositions to reduce the microbial load on the surfaces of foodstuffs, processed food products, and the hard surfaces of food preparation machinery, tools, benches, and the like.
摘要:
The combination of the surfactant SDS with levulinic acid produces a synergistic effect in relation to the antimicrobial effectiveness of the individual compounds. Accordingly, this surprising synergy allows the formulation of compositions wherein the active agents are present at concentrations effective to reduce bacterial counts in liquids, including, but not limited to, water and other beverages, especially those having a pH value less than about 7.0 by a factor between 103 and 107 without altering the organoleptic properties of the treated food substance. The active agents are FDA-approved as food additives, and the treated beverages can be any aqueous-based beverage consumable by humans or animals.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to the treatment of a plant at the flowering or fruiting stage with an effective amount of abscisic acid, its analogs or derivatives and salts thereof to reduce the number of fruits that the plant sets and grows to maturity.
摘要:
The invention relates to novel 2,4,6-trialkylphenyl-substituted cyclopentane-1,3-diones of the formula (I) in which X, Y, A, B, Q1, Q2 and G have the meanings given above, to a plurality of processes and intermediates for their preparation and to their use as pesticides and/or herbicides, and also to selective herbicidal compositions comprising, firstly, the 2,4,6-trialkylphenyl-substituted cyclopentane-1,3-diones of the formula (I) and, secondly, at least one crop plant compatibility-improving compound.
摘要:
The invention relates to liquid compositions which contain a) from 40 to 99.9% by weight of sorbitan monocaprylate and b) from 0.1 to 60% by weight of one or more antimicrobial substances selected from the group consisting of the components b1) to b5): b1) specific organic acids and the salts thereof, b2) specific formaldehyde donors, b3) specific isothiazolinones, b4) specific paraben esters and the salts thereof, and b5) specific pyridones and the salts thereof. The liquid compositions are suitable for the production of cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical products.
摘要:
A combination of the surfactant SDS with levulinic acid produces a synergistic effect in relation to the antimicrobial effectiveness of the individual compounds, allowing the formulation of compositions wherein the active agents are present at concentrations effective to reduce bacterial and fungal counts in liquids, including, but not limited to, water and other beverages, without altering the organoleptic properties of the treated food substance. The active agents are FDA-approved as food additives, and the treated beverages can be any aqueous-based beverage consumable by humans or animals. The levulinic acid-SDS combination is also suitable for reducing or eliminating the microbial population on the surfaces of water and beverage containers, and the machinery and facilities for the bottling of liquids.
摘要:
The present invention included compositions and methods for treating Listeria in foods. The compositions and methods include at least one first preservative, and a second preservative selected from the group consisting of a Carnobacterium species, Carnobacterium maltaromaticum, a fermentate, containing at least one bacteriocin, and combinations thereof.
摘要:
A solid composition in the form of a tablet that generates and releases a biocidal solution comprising at least chlorine dioxide with an enhanced weight percent yield is presented. The composition comprises reactants capable of in-situ generation of chlorine dioxide comprising a chlorite donor that is coated with a gel-forming material that slows the rate of dissolution of the high solubility chlorite donor, a free halogen donor, and an acid source, resulting in an unexpectedly high weight percent yield and providing a controlled release of biocidal solution. The compositions of the invention show improved environmental stability which can reduce the cost of packaging and significantly increase the utility of the composition. The controlled release allows the use in multi-tablet chemical dispensers which may otherwise induce potentially explosive conditions or allow rapid release of the biocidal solution thereby inducing a spike in chemical concentration rather than a controlled and sustained release.
