Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates generally to a system and method of generating at least one disinfecting gas within a package through a photochemical reaction. More particularly, the presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a system and method for controlled release of a generated gas from a polymeric film or lamination through selection of a suitable combination of lighting conditions.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods useful for the cleaning, sanitizing, and/or microbial control of industrial equipment such as, for example, conveyance and production/manufacturing systems.

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: Various carcass cleaning apparatuses and methods are described and illustrated, wherein carcasses can be cleaned by at least partially immersing carcasses within reservoirs moved by a conveyor. The reservoirs can be filled with cleaning fluid, receive carcasses to immerse the carcasses in the fluid, and can then be drained of such fluid, wherein the drained fluid can be collected, filtered, and supplied again to reservoirs for immersing and cleaning additional carcasses.

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: One aspect of the present invention relates to separating a gas, such as chlorine dioxide, from a solution. In another aspect of the invention, the separated gas is then used for the sterilization or sanitation of items, such as food, food storage containers, other food contact surfaces, medical devices, and the like. In yet another aspect of the invention, that gas is then decomposed or otherwise neutralized after contacting the item. In yet another aspect of the invention, the separated gas is dissolved or otherwise introduced into a pure solution, such as water, to form highly pure solution containing the gas.

Abstract: A cleaning formulation especially suited for cleaning a substantially vertical or inclined surfaces which is soiled by components used in the food or beverage industry. The cleaning formulation has foam characteristics as well as long cling times. Yet, it is easily rinsed from the surface.

Abstract: Detergent compositions are formed into tablets for dispensing. These tablets can be retained in a flexible plastic bag having a rigid opening and tapered midsection. The rigidity of the tablets enables the bag to retain its shape and prevent hydratable detergents from clogging up the dispenser. A preferred detergent formulation is a high-caustic detergent composition which includes a combination of sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate hexahydrate, defoaming surfactant, polycarboxylate and a processing and dissolution aid such as propylene glycol. This detergent composition, when tableted, provides an extremely uniform dissolution rate minimizing any temperature peaks that can occur in dispensing high-caustic detergent.
