Publication number: 20230180750Abstract: Food processing equipment, food contact surfaces, and non-food contact surfaces are sanitized or disinfected using an acid-anionic surfactant solution has efficacy in hand water, in non-corrosive, and is stable at elevated temperatures. The sanitizing/disinfecting solution is prepared as a highly concentrated liquid and diluted to end use concentrations prior to application to food processing equipment or food or non-food contact surfaces. Efficacy in hard water is important for sanitizers and disinfectants that are diluted by the end user using potentially hard water. Stability at elevated temperatures is important for long-term storage and transportation. The diluted sanitizing/disinfecting solution exhibits strong antimicrobial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria even when diluted in hard water. The sanitizing/disinfecting solution exhibits low toxicity to humans and the environment since it is prepared from low toxicity ingredients that are readily biodegradable.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: PRONATURAL BRANDS, LLCInventors: William Salminen, Gary Russotti, Richard Aab, Robert Tuchrelo, Jeffrey Cahoon

Patent number: 9426998Abstract: Minimally processed fruits and vegetables, such as peeled and cut produce, are preserved by a solution containing a combination of green tea extract catechins and an organic acid or salt thereof selected from any one or any combination of ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid, and salts thereof. The preservative solution prevents residual self-staining properties commonly associated with green tea extract catechins. Processed fruits and vegetables are dipped in, sprayed with, or coated with the preservative solution. The produce preservative solution maintains the color, texture, flavor, appearance, and crispness of the treated produce.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2015Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: PRONATURAL BRANDS, LLCInventors: William Salminen, Gary M.
