Abstract: The invention provides methods, apparatuses and compositions for the reduction of pathogenic and/or non-pathogenic organisms in raw meat. The invention includes simultaneously manufacturing and applying to raw meat an activated chlorous agent or other biocidal composition. By simultaneously manufacturing and applying the solution feedstocks such as contaminated components or recirculated used solution that would normally not work, can be used to effectively reduce pathogens in raw meat.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the inactivation of enzymes with a composition comprising a sulfonated peroxycarboxylic acid according to formula (I) wherein: R1 is hydrogen, or a substituted or unsubstituted Cm alkyl group; R2 is a substituted or unsubstituted Cn alkyl group; X is a hydrogen atom, a cationic group, or an ester forming moiety; Y is a hydrogen atom, a cationic group, or an ester forming moiety; n is 1 to 10; m is 1 to 10; and n+m is less than or equal to 18, wherein the composition is contacted with the enzyme.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions, methods of making and their use as cleaning composition and/or antimicrobial agent, for example in the field of cold aseptic filling (CAF), that are effective at lower concentration, having improved wetting and rinsing properties, wherein the liquid composition comprises a mixture of: a) a C6 to C22 sulfoperoxycarboxylic acid, b) a C1 to C4 percarboxylic acid, c) a C5 to C10 percarboxylic acid, d) a peroxide agent, e) a liquid; wherein the composition comprises free sulfocarboxylic acid, free C1 to C4 carboxylic acid and free C5 to C10 carboxylic acid, wherein the weight ratio of C6 to C22 sulfocarboxylic acid to C6 to C22 sulfoperoxycarboxylic acid is about 0.1:1 to about 25:1.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions, methods of making and their use as cleaning composition, as antimicrobials and/or bleaching agent having improved storage stability and effective at lower concentration, wherein the liquid, storage stable composition comprises a mixture of: a) a sulfoperoxycarboxylic acid, b) a C1 to C4 percarboxylic acid, c) a C5 to C10 percarboxylic acid, d) a peroxide agent, e) a hydrotrope, f) an acidulant, g) a liquid; wherein the composition comprises free sulfocarboxylic acid, free C1 to C4 carboxylic acid and free C5 to C10 carboxylic acid.

Abstract: A system and method for treating hoof related diseases, particularly hairy heel warts (papillomatus digital dermatitis), includes an aqueous solution having a metal astringent at a therapeutically effective concentration. The metal astringent includes aluminum, iron, and mixtures thereof. In preferred embodiments, the metal may include a mixture of monomeric and polymeric species. The polymeric species may be in the form of a polymeric concentrate, such as, for example, polyaluminum chloride or polyferric sulfate. Alternatively, the polymeric species may be formed by partially neutralizing a metal salt. The aqueous solution of the metal astringent is applied to a lower leg and hoof area of an animal using any known application technique, including, but not limited to, foot baths, foams and spray applications. In preferred embodiments, the aqueous solution is applied using an automated dispensing system.
