  • Water-miscible esters of monoglycerides having antimicrobial activity
    Patent number: 5912372
    Abstract: The present invention provides water-miscible lipid derivatives effective to inhibit the infectious activity of pathogenic microorganisms. Preferred water-miscible lipid derivatives are diacetyltartaric acid esters of monoglycerides wherein 90 percent or more of the fatty acid content is accounted for by a single fatty acid. The fatty acid component preferably contains from 8 to 24 and, more preferably, from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms. The fatty acid can be saturated, unsaturated or hydroxylated.
