Abstract: The invention related to a processed edible product comprising a complex of at least one antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation. The invention further relates to a method for producing a processed edible product comprising a complex of at least one antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation, to a method for preventing spoilage of a processed edible product, and to a method of preventing, reducing and/or eliminating the presence of fungi, bacteria and/or viruses on a processed edible product. The invention additionally relates to a use of a complex of a antimicrobial compound and a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation for preventing, reducing and/or eliminating the presence of fungi, bacteria and/or viruses on a processed edible product.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous suspension comprising a solubilized salt and insolubilized ingredients such as lignosulfonate and a dodecyl sulfate salt. The invention further relates to methods of producing said aqueous suspension, and to methods to employ said suspension for fertilizing agricultural plants and for protecting a plant or plant part against a pathogen. The invention additionally relates to methods of preventing, reducing and/or eliminating the presence of a pathogen on a plant or plant part, and to methods for treatment of a soil, comprising providing a suspension according to the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition comprising a polyelectrolyte complex of a polyanion and a polycation, and comprising at least one biocide. A preferred composition comprises lignosulfonate and chitosan, preferably in relative a amount of from 1:2 to 60:1 (w/w). The invention further relates to methods for generating a composition according to the invention, and to uses of a mixture according to the invention for protecting an agricultural plant or plant part against a pathogen.
