Abstract: A composition for use in air scrubbers, and particularly, cleaning air scrubbers is provided, along with methods for cleaning air scrubbers using the same. The composition includes at least one of components A, B, C, and D. Component A includes at least one surfactant and at least one enzyme. Component B includes at least one surfactant. Component C includes at least one pH control agent. Component D includes at least one defoamer. The compositions may be used to remove volatile organic compounds from air.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-component chlorine dioxide producing system. The invention produces effective amounts of chlorine dioxide in five minutes or less without instantaneous production or loss of chlorine dioxide. The invention further includes a dispensing apparatus to allow for the dispensing of the multi component system to allow for insitu production of chlorine dioxide.

Abstract: An anti-bacterial agent for controlling the growth of certain lactic acid bacteria is provided. The anti-bacterial agent, or bacteriocin, is produced by Propionibacterium jensenii, and specifically by the P126 and P1264 strains of the particular species. The process employs the bacteriocins to inhibit the growth of other bacterial cultures, including yogurt starter cultures. The bacteriocins are stable across a broad range of pHs and are stable at relatively high and prolonged temperatures and have a wide activity spectrum against bacteria. The bacteriocins are particularly useful in controlling the over-acidification of yogurt to decrease the sour taste often found in yogurt.
