Abstract: A composition and method are described for sanitizing or otherwise treating a material such as a non-living surface, living tissue, soil or atmosphere which may be contaminated by a toxin, chemical warfare agent, insect, prion, microorganism or other infectious agent. The composition generally includes an aqueous composition mixture that includes: (a) lower alkanol; (b) an alkalinating agent, and (c) a fatty acid salt and/or ester. The components are present in an effective amount to sanitize (or treat) a material (or modifying a chemical contained thereon) to which the composition is applied. Also described are methods of making the composition.

Abstract: A method for treating biological tissue, particularly meats for human consumption, so as to sanitize the tissue, is described. The method inactivates microorganisms and pathogenic prions (proteins) in the tissue.

Abstract: A method to extract egg material cholesterol and esters thereof based on the specific affinity of a cyclodextrin, particularly .beta.-cyclodextrin. The method consists of a sequence of steps: pH adjustment, dilution with distilled water, heating, mixing, cooling, and centrifugation. The method removed about 95-96% of total egg yolk cholesterol and esters without removing or damaging other egg yolk components. Protein solubility, sponge cake volume and color were the same for a control and the reduced cholesterol egg material.
