Abstract: The invention relates to a method for disinfecting the air, comprising the distribution or atomization of a special antimicrobial composition. The invention also relates to antimicrobial compositions and the use thereof in order to disinfect the air.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for impregnating, incorporating or surface-treating substances/articles that can be microbially decomposed, contaminated and/or infested with parasites and/or that are perishable. The inventive method comprises the following steps: applying a special antimicrobial/antiparasite composition on the substances/articles or incorporating the antimicrobial/antiparasite composition in the substances. The invention further relates to said special antimicrobial/antiparasite compositions, to their use for impregnating and/or surface-treating substances that can be microbially decomposed, contaminated and/or that are perishable or substances that are infested with parasites and to the use thereof in substances and products that have to be self-contaminating.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for improving the durability of, and/or stabilizing, microbially perishable products, in which, during the process for preparing, processing or packaging the products, their surfaces and/or their environment, in particular the environmental air and/or the surfaces of the utensils or other materials which come directly or indirectly into contact with the products, are impacted with one or more process adjuvants, the process adjuvant comprising at least one microbicidally active flavouring substance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for neutralising odours in the air in a non-toxic manner. According to the inventive method, a special odour-masking composition is distributed or atomised. Said composition contains at least one odour-masking constituent (A) selected from terpenes, maize starch, manganese salts, ethereal oils and polyvinylpryrrolidone. The invention also relates to odour-masking compositions used in the method, and the use of said compositions for reducing odours.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for improving the durability of, and/or stabilizing, microbially perishable products, in which, during the process for preparing, processing or packaging the products, their surfaces and/or their environment, in particular the environmental air and/or the surfaces of the utensils or other materials which come directly or indirectly into contact with the products, are impacted with one or more process adjuvants, the process adjuvant comprising at least one microbicidally active flavouring substance.

Abstract: A device for enriching air with an air treatment agent comprises a storage vessel for receiving liquid air treatment agent. An evaporating means for heating the air treatment agent is connected with the storage vessel through a pipe. A dosing means provided between said storage vessel and said evaporating means produces a quantity-restricted supply of air treatment agent to said evaporating means. The evaporating means is connected with a mixing vessel in which the vaporized air treatment agent is mixed with air, and the mixture of vaporized air treatment agent and air is exhausted through an outlet into the space to be treated with air treatment agent.
