Abstract: A produce wash is provided that reduces or eliminates the chlorine used in treating produce and inhibits the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria and mold, on pre-harvest and post-harvest produce and extends the shelf-life of the treated produce. Methods of making and using the produce wash also are provided.

Abstract: A produce wash is provided that significantly reduces the amount of chlorine used in treating produce and inhibits the growth of micro-organisms on pre-harvest and post-harvest produce. A method of using the produce wash extends the shelf life of harvested produce.

Abstract: A composition of matter and the method of making that provide a low pH acidic composition that is useful for destroying microorganisms that are undesirable and useful for destroying or reducing melanoma on human skin. The composition and method include a strong, low pH acid combined with distilled water and urea or an ammonium compound, such as ammonium sulfate or other metallic sulfates, including but not limited to, sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, and copper sulfate, under at least 15 psi pressure in pressurized container, all of which is heated to approximately 800° F. or more for at least 3 hours. The final cooled mixture is stabilized with 10 to 15 percent of the original mixture. The resultant composition is useful for preserving food, such as fresh fish, and for skin treatment of melanoma and as bactericides, fungicides, or viricides.

Abstract: An antimicrobial, anti-bacterial processing aid, food additive and food ingredient is provided to inhibit cellular growth of known pathogenic, indicator and spoilage organisms, such as salmonella, stahphylococcus, listeria, e coli, and the like. The antimicrobial agent of the present invention is useful as a treatment for animal feed, a treatment for pre-harvest and post-harvest processing of foodstuffs, a treatment for cooked food subject to airborne contaminants and many other conditions in need of disinfectants and sanitizers. One of the primary benefits of the antimicrobial agent is that it inhibits the growth of bacteria that have become antibiotic resistant.

Abstract: A composition of matter and the method of making that provides a low pH acidic composition that is useful for destroying microorganisms that are undesirable and useful for destroying or reducing melanoma on human skin. The composition and method include sulfuric acid combined with distilled water and ammonium sulfate under at least 15 psi pressure in a pressurized container, all of which is heated to approximately 800° F. or more for at least 3 hours. The final cooled mixture is stabilized with 10 percent of the original mixture. The resultant composition is useful for preserving food, such as fresh fish, and for skin treatment of melanoma.

The composition and method include sulfuric acid combined with distilled water and ammonium sulfate under at least 15 psi pressure in a pressurized container, all of which is heated to around 1200.degree. F. for at least 3 hours. The final cooled mixture is stabilized with 10 percent of the original mixture. The resultant composition is useful for preserving food, such as fresh fish, and for skin treatment of melanoma.
