The present invention provides a method for the disinfection of seafood. The inventive method includes the steps of (a) preparing a concentrated aqueous solution of a chlorine dioxide liberating compound having a concentration of from about 0.2% to about 25% by weight of the chlorine dioxide liberating compound and having an amount of an acid sufficient to adjust the pH to from about 1.0 to about 5.0; (b) diluting the concentrated aqueous solution to provide a dilute, acidified solution having a concentration of from about 0.00017% to about 0.17% by weight of the chlorine dioxide liberating compound; and (c)contacting the dilute, acidified solution with seafood to disinfect the seafood. Preferably, the chlorine dioxide liberating compound is an alkali metal chlorites, with sodium chlorite and potassium chlorite being particularly preferred. The acid may be any acid generally regarded as safe, as that term is used in the Code of Federal Register, 21 CFR 170.35 and 21 CFR 170.30.

Acidified metal chlorite solution for disinfection of seafood

Compositions and processes for the prophylaxis and therapeutic treatment of wounds, chronic non-healing wounds, burns, disease and other dermal disorders are disclosed. The compositions of the present invention comprise aqueous solutions of a metal chlorite having a concentration of from about 0.002% to about 0.5% by weight of metal chlorite. The process of the present invention comprises treating the dermal disorder with an aqueous solution of from about 0.002% to about 0.5% by weight of a metal chlorite. Wounds, chronic non-healing wounds, burns and other dermal disorders treated in this manner heal more quickly and with reduced scar formation. The antiseptic compositions and processes of the present invention exhibit anticollagenous activity such that the characteristics of the healed skin, such as elasticity and tensile strength, are similar to undamaged skin.
