A biofilm-removing agent which effectively removes biofilms is provided. A biofilm-removing agent containing a basic amino acid derivative represented by the following formula (1) or a salt thereof: (wherein Rrepresents a linear- or branched-alkyl group having 4 to 18 carbon atoms or a linear- or branched-alkenyl group having 4 to 18 carbon atoms; X and Y each represent a group selected from the groups represented by the following formulas: and m represents an integer from 1 to 5).

Biofilm-removing agent

The present invention provides a virucide composition and/or sporicide composition having a high virucidal effect and sporicidal effect and being excellent in safety and workability. That is, the present invention provides a virucide composition and/or sporicide composition comprising (a) an inorganic peroxide, (b) tetraacetylethylenediamine and (c) at least one selected from a salt of an alkaline metal salt with an inorganic acid and a salt of an alkaline earth metal with an inorganic acid in a specific ratio.

Virucide composition and sporicide composition

A frying oil or fat composition employable for producing fried foodstuffs having satisfactory crisp and well acceptable moderate oily or fatty taste comprises not more than 4.0 weight % of an emulsifier dissolved in an oil or a fat. The emulsifier should be chosen to make the oil or fat composition show an interfacial tension of not more than 7 mN/m at 80.degree. C., 3 sec. after the time when the oil or fat composition is mixed with water to form an interface between a phase of the oil or fat and an aqueous phase. A frying oil or fat composition containing a sugar fatty acid ester of a specifically selected composition, or a combination of a sugar fatty acid ester and a polyglycerol fatty acid ester and/or a diglyceride is also employable for the same purpose.
