The present invention relates to quaternary ammonium salts and their use as mold inhibitors. The quaternary salts can be prepared by a chloride ion-promoted reaction between a tertiary amine and an alcohol or polyol in strong acid solution. The quaternary ammonium salts can be applied to a substrate in order to impart anti-mold properties to the substrate. Preferably, the quaternary ammonium salt compounds are applied to paper substrates in an amount of about 1000 ppm. Preferably, the quaternary ammonium salts compounds are applied as mixtures of more than one quaternary ammonium salt compound. The treated substrate does not require encapsulators, binders, or retention aids.

Quaternary ammonium salts as microbe inhibitors

A composition is provided that, when utilized in combination with warfarin, greatly improves the anticoagulant effects of warfarin in mammalian subjects. The composition is a compound having a naphthohydroquinone ring system substantially similar to the ring system of the reduced form of vitamin Kand has the general formula: where Rand Rare hydrogen or acyl, Ris a saturated or unsaturated alkyl group with up to 6 carbons, and Ris a saturated or unsaturated alkyl group with up to 20 carbons, or Rand Rare part of a cyclic or polycyclic ring system.

Synergistic anticoagulant composition

The present invention provides molecules and methods for fluorescent microscopy and visualization of biomolecules, such as cholesterol. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a compound having the structure: 

Molecules and methods for fluorescence microscopy

An adduct that has an acidic solution of sparingly-soluble Group IIA complexes ('AGIIS') and at least one additive. The AGIIS can be prepared by mixing a mineral acid (such as sulfuric acid), and a Group IIA hydroxide (such as calcium hydroxide) or a Group IIA salt of a dibasic acid (such as calcium sulfate), or a mixture of the two Group IIA compounds, followed by removing the solid formed. The additives can be an alcohol, an organic acid or a surface active agent. The composition has various uses, including cleaning, food production, decontamination, bioremediation, agricultural application, medical application, and detoxification of substances.

Acidic solution of sparingly-soluble group IIA complexes

A highly acidic metalated organic acid composition and its preparation. The acidic composition can be prepared by mixing a monovalent or polyvalent cation and an organic acid in the presence of a strong oxyacid, wherein the resultant acidic composition is less corrosive to a ferrous metal than a solution of a mineral acid having the same acidic pH value as that of the acidic composition, and where in the acid composition is more biocidal than a mixture of the organic acid and a metal salt of the organic acid which mixture has the same acid normality value as that of the acidic composition. The acidic composition can be prepared by mixing at least one regenerating acid, at least one metal base, and at least one organic acid, wherein the amount of the regenerating acid is in excess of the equivalent amount of the metal base.

Highly acidic metalated organic acid

The use of a highly acidic metalated organic acid composition (&ldquo;HAMO&rdquo;) as a food additive. The HAMO is used to reduce biological contaminants, and thus preserve, a nutriment. The HAMO is being absorbed in, or adsorbed on, a nutriment material to give a prepared nutriment.
