  • Patent number: 11213029
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for controlling plant diseases containing a limonene derivative as an active ingredient. In the present invention, the limonene derivatives have an effect of inhibiting the growth of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae (Xoo), which is a pathogen mediating bacterial leaf blight, and Magnaporthe oryzae, which is a pathogen mediating rice blast, and it was confirmed in an experiment with respect to inhibition using volatility (i.e., in a state not being in direct contact with Xoo or M. oryzae) that the limonene derivatives have a growth inhibitory effect. Accordingly, the limonene derivatives have an inhibitory effect against the growth of Xoo and thus they can be effectively used as a composition for controlling plant diseases.

  • Publication number: 20150086421
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of disinfecting a surface and to an antibacterial composition. Essential oils, which are used as antibacterial actives, are also known for their strong odour; using high amounts of these gives a strong smell to the product that is not always appreciated by the consumer. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an antibacterial composition, having good anti-bacterial properties, at very low levels of essential oil actives. The present inventors have achieved this using a synergistic combination of select anti-bacterial actives, specific polymers and select hydrotropes.
