Abstract: The present invention discloses an antimicrobial preservative composition and methods of using the same. The antimicrobial preservative composition includes a glycerol fatty acid ester, a binary mixture of fatty acids including a first fatty acid antimicrobial agent selected from fatty acids having about six to about eighteen carbon atoms and a second fatty acid antimicrobial agent selected from fatty acids having about six to about eighteen carbon atoms where the second fatty acid is different from the first fatty acid and a food-grade carrier. Also disclosed is an antimicrobial preservative composition which includes a safe and effective amount of a ethoxylated or propoxylated glycerol fatty acid ester, a binary mixture of fatty acids including a first fatty acid antimicrobial agent selected from this C6 to C18 fatty acids and a second fatty acid antimicrobial agent selected from C6 to C18 fatty acids where the second fatty acid is different from the first fatty acid and a food-grade carrier.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a topical antimicrobial and anti-parasite pharmaceutical composition and methods of using the same. The topical antimicrobial pharmaceutical composition includes a safe and effective amount of an ethoxylated or propoxylated glycerol fatty acid ester and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Also disclosed is a topical antimicrobial pharmaceutical composition including a safe and effective amount of a tertiary mixture including, a glycerol fatty acid ester, a binary mixture of fatty acids including a first fatty acid antimicrobial agent selected from C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 fatty acids, and a second fatty acid antimicrobial agent selected from C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 fatty acids, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Further disclosed is a topical antimicrobial pharmaceutical composition including a safe and effective amount of an ethoxylated or propoxylated glycerol fatty acid ester, a binary fatty acid mixture including, a first fatty acid antimicrobial agent selected from C.

Abstract: A class of aminimides structurally characterizable as dipolar ions wherein a quaternary nitrogen atom is directly bonded to the nitrogen anion of an organic amide having a quaternary nitrogen atom in the acyl residue thereof exhibit broad spectrum inhibitory activity against bacterial and fungal organisms.

Abstract: There is provided a microbecidal or microbiostatic water-dispersible synergistic combination of a non-ionic surface-active agent that is a mono-ester of a twelve carbon atom aliphatic acid and a polyol and at least one microbecide, e.g., a phenolic compound (including resorcinol compounds). Preferably, the weight ratios of the microbecide-to-ester are between 1:1 to 1:100. These compositions may be dispersed in water and avoid inactivation of the microbecide. Further, the present composition provides activity greater than either the ester or the microbecide alone.

Abstract: There is provided a food-grade microbicidal or microbiostatic composition containing a food or food-grade material and as the primary microbicide a mono-ester of a polyol and a twelve carbon atom aliphatic fatty acid.

Abstract: A class of aminimides structurally characterizable as dipolar ions wherein a quaternary nitrogen atom is directly bonded to the nitrogen anion of methyacrylamide exhibit broad spectrum inhibitory activity against gram positive bacteria and fungi.

Abstract: A class of aminimides structurally characterizable as dipolar ions wherein a quaternary nitrogen atom is directly bonded to the nitrogen anion of a .beta.(N-alkyl N-2-hydroxy propyl) amino propionamide exhibit broad spectrum inhibitory activity against bacterial and fungal organisms.

Abstract: A class of aminimides structurally characterizable as dipolar ions wherein a quaternary nitrogen atom is directly bonded to the nitrogen anion of a long chain fatty amide exhibit broad spectrum inhibitory activity against gram positive bacteria and fungi.

Abstract: A class of aminimides structurally characterizable as dipolar ions wherein a quaternary nitrogen atom is directly bonded to the nitrogen anion of acetamide exhibit broad spectrum inhibitory activity against bacterial and fungal organisms.
