A liquid antimicrobial composition comprising an organic acid and one or more anionic surfactants is disclosed. In one embodiment, the organic acid is lactic acid and the anionic surfactant is sodium octane sulfonate. In a preferred embodiment, the antimicrobial solution is formulated as a teat dip for lactating animals, particularly cows. In other embodiments, the antimicrobial compositions may be used in personal care, hard surface care including hard surface disinfection in households, food processing, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, showers, or topically as hand soaps, surgical scrubs, and hoof disease mitigators.

Antimicrobial compositions and related methods

The present invention is generally directed toward methods of cleaning and descaling surfaces contaminated with food soils, especially clean-in-place systems. More particularly, the methods according to the present invention also provide for sanitizing of surfaces contaminated with food soils. Thus, there is provided a single cleaning cycle that may clean, sanitize, and descale food-soiled surfaces, and in certain embodiments, without the need for a pre-rinse step, using a non-chlorine detergent composition. The methods comprise a cleaning step and a post-rinsing step. In certain embodiments, a pre-rinse step is utilized, in which the volume of pre-rinse fluid used is less than 50% of the volume of cleaning solution used in the cleaning step.

Method of cleaning food and beverage manufacturing and handling equipment

Long-lasting persistent, uniform, film-forming skin protecting compositions provide long-lasting persistent barrier films when applied to skin. The compositions have particular utility as barrier teat dips for protecting cows against mastitis and as wound care agents. A barrier film-forming agent is selected from pullulan, pullulan derivatives and combinations thereof. The barrier film-forming agent is stably solubilized in a solvent that dries to form the long-lasting, persistent, uniform film over the animal skin. The compositions may contain additives, such as antimicrobial agents that kill microorganisms.

Barrier film-forming compositions and methods of use

The present invention is generally directed toward methods of cleaning and descaling surfaces contaminated with food soils, especially clean-in-place systems. More particularly, the methods according to the present invention also provide for sanitizing of surfaces contaminated with food soils. Thus, there is provided a single cleaning cycle that may clean, sanitize, and descale food-soiled surfaces, and in certain embodiments, without the need for a pre-rinse step, using an acidic detergent composition comprising a fatty alkyl-1,3-diaminopropane or salt thereof in the presence of an acid selected from the group consisting of inorganic acids, organic acids, and mixtures thereof.

Germicidal compositions containing at least one carboxylic acid combined with at least one nonionic or anionic surfactant, and methods of using the compositions for treatment or prevention of infectious hoof diseases are disclosed. The germicidal compositions remain active in the presence of manure, which eliminates the need to pre-clean the hooves before use. The compositions have particular utility for treating or preventing papillomatous digital dermatitis, interdigital phlegmon, interdigital dermatitis, laminitis, white line disease, heel erosion and other hoof diseases.

Compositions comprising A C2-C14 carboxylic acid and a surfactant for treating hoof diseases

A long-lasting persistent, uniform film-forming skin protecting germicidal composition provides a long-lasting persistent barrier film when applied to skin. The compositions have particular utility as barrier teat dips for protecting cows against mastitis. A barrier film-forming agent is selected from the modified or hydrolyzed polysaccharides, particularly a hydrolyzed or modified starch, such as dextrin and maltodextrin. The barrier film-forming agent is stably solubilized in a solvent that dries to form the long-lasting persistent uniform film over the animal skin. The compositions also contain antimicrobial agents that fight against microbes that manage to penetrate the protective barrier film. Particularly, advantageous is that all the materials used are safe food additive and cost effective over the traditional barrier film forming agents.

Barrier film-forming germicidal composition for controlling mastitis

Non-chlorinated concentrated acid detergent compositions and methods for using the same are provided. More particularly, the acid detergents comprise a quantity of a fatty alkyl-1,3-diaminopropane or salt thereof and optionally alkylsulfonic acid. The detergents form the basis for an all-in-one cleaning, sanitizing, and descaling composition for use on soiled surfaces, particularly surfaces contaminated with milk soils and other food soils.

Non-chlorinated concentrated all-in-one acid detergent and method for using the same

The present invention relates to a novel super-concentrated, liquid detergent composition comprising a primary surfactant system, a secondary surfactant system, and water. In this composition, the primary surfactant system comprises at least one primary surfactant chosen from a linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid, a linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, an &agr;-olefin sulfonate, an alcohol ether sulfate, an alkyl sulfate, and alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, amine and ammonium salts thereof, the secondary surfactant system comprises at least one secondary surfactant chosen from an alkyl polyglycoside and an &agr;-sulfomethyl ester, and the weight ratio of the at least one primary surfactant to the at least one secondary surfactant, based on the solids content of the detergent composition, is at least 3:1. When the secondary surfactant system comprises only an &agr;-sulfomethyl ester as the secondary surfactant, the weight ratio of the at least one primary surfactant to the &agr;-sulfomethyl ester, based on the solids content of the detergent composition, is at least 2.7:1. The invention also relates to a method for cleaning soiled dishware, pots and/or pans comprising contacting the soiled dishware, pots and/or pans with these novel detergent compositions, and subsequently removing the soil from the dishware.

This invention relates to an enzymatic detergent drain cleaner composition containing:

Enzymatic detergent composition and method for degrading and removing

The present invention relates to a concentrated liquid gel warewash detergent composition which contains about 5% to about 30% by weight of an alkali polyphosphate, about 8% to about 50% by weight of a source of alkalinity, about 0% to about 5% by weight of a surface active agent, about 0.1% to about 2% by weight of a hydrophilic crosslinkled polycarboxylate thickening agent, about 0.1% to about 2% by weight of a hydrogen bonding agent for the polycarboxylate, and about 0 to about 15% of a polyacrylate, the balance being water. The composition may also contain about 0% to about 3% by weight of a chlorine bleach. The composition is predissolved and can be accurately metered into warewash machines to clean and destain tablewares and dishwares.

Concentrated liquid gel warewash detergent

This invention relates to an enzymatic detergent drain cleaner composition comprising:

Methods and compositions for cleaning food preparation surfaces are disclosed. The method includes applying a thickened, noncorrosive composition to the surface. The composition is formulated from a hypochlorite bleach used to reduce staining on the surface, an alkalinity source to provide a pH of from about 10 to 14, a thickening agent used to promote adhesion of the composition to the surface upon application, and a balance of water. Optionally, the composition may also contain a surfactant and a builder.

Thickened noncorrosive cleaner

This invention relates to an enzymatic detergent drain cleaner composition containing: 0.015-20 wt % of an acid cellulase enzyme having hydrolytic activity specific to .beta.-glucosidic bonds; 1-70 wt % of a water soluble carbonate salt; 1-70 wt % of a water soluble acid that reacts in an aqueous medium with the carbonate salt to form carbon dioxide that dissolves in the aqueous medium; 0.1-10 wt % of a surfactant; and 0.05-5 wt % of a thickening agent. This detergent composition may be used as an enzymatic detergent drain cleaner or in a method for removing or preventing bacterial cellulose deposits in an aqueous system at a solution temperature of up to about 60.degree. C. and a pH of about 2 to about 7.
