Abstract: The storage life of foods and feeds is extended by treating same with acyloxyalkenoic acids, especially a mixture of acetoxyhexenoic acids. The acyloxyalkenoic acids are shown to inhibit pathogens and food spoilage organisms in laboratory culture media and foodstuffs.
Abstract: An improved animal feed supplement having reduced corrosion characteristics is obtained by forming an aqueous solution containing 87-90 percent by weight 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)-butanoic acid and partially neutralizing the solution to a pH of 0.9-1.2.
