Abstract:
Una composición de concentrado que tiene actividad antimicrobiana frente a una espora o un microorganismo formador de esporas relacionado, composición que comprende: (a) de 0, 2 a 6 por ciento en peso de peróxido de hidrógeno; (b) de 0, 5 a 80 por ciento en peso de un ácido carboxílico de la fórmula R(COOH)n en que R comprende hidrógeno, alquilo, alquenilo, un grupo alicíclico, arilo, heteroarilo o un grupo heterocíclico, y n es 1, 2 ó 3; (c) de 0, 2 a 30 por ciento en peso de un ácido peroxicarboxílico de la fórmula R(COOOH)n en que R comprende hidrógeno, alquilo, alquenilo, un grupo alicíclico, arilo, heteroarilo o un grupo heterocíclico, y n es 1, 2 ó 3; y (d) una cantidad eficaz de un compuesto de amonio cuaternario seleccionado entre n-alquil-dimetil-etil- bencilamonio, di-n-alquil-dimetilamonio, sal de di-n-alquil- metil-bencilamonio, n-alquil-dimetil-bencilamonio, n-alquil- metil-etil-bencilamonio, y una combinación de los mismos; en la que hay cuatro partes o más en peso de ácido peroxicarboxílico por cada parte en peso de peróxido de hidrógeno.
Abstract:
Compositions having antimicrobial activity against a variety of microorganisms, including vegetative bacteria, bacterial spores, fungi, and fungal spores are particularly useful for microbiocidal treatments of a variety of substances. More specifically, compositions have antibmicrobial activity against microorganisms of the Bacillus cereus group such as Bacillu s cereus, Bacillus mycoides, Bacillus anthracis, and Bacillus thuringiensis ar e particularly useful. Compositions including hydrogen peroxide, a carboxylic acid, and a peroxycarboxylic acid in which the weight ratio of the preroxycarboxylic acid to the hydrogen peroxide is at least 4:1 are effectiv e against microorganims, particularly bacterial spores. Such compositions include a reduced amount of hydrogen peroxide relative to the amount of peroxycarboxylic acid as compared to conventional compositions. Compositions can also inlclude a quaternary ammonium compound, a stabilizing agent, a surfactant, a hydrotrope, or other additives. Methods of using a composition including hydrogen peroxide, a carboxylic acid, and a peroxycarboxylic acid in which the ratio of the peroxycarboxylic acid to the hydrogen peroxide is at least 4:1 are useful for reducing the microbial numbers on a variety of substances contaminated by microorganisms, particularly of the Bacillus cereusgroup. Such substances include foodstuffs, water, general-premise surfaces, specific-equipment surfaces, animal carcasses, soil, and textiles.
Abstract:
A food additive microbicidal composition consisting essentially of a major portion of carrier and an effective sanitizing amount of octanoic acid. Optionally, the invention may also consist essentially of any variety of formulatory ingredient options or application adjuvants. The invention comprises concentrate compositions and methods of sanitizing and disinfecting using the antimicrobial composition of the invention.
