- (a) from 0.1 to 50 w/w % of at least one water soluble chelating agent selected from the group consisting of oxalic acid, malonic acid, glutaric acid, maleic acid, adipic acid, fumaric acid, trans-asonitic acid, pimelic acid, ethylmalonic acid, iminodiacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, glycero-3-phosphoric acid, fructose-1,6-diphosphoric acid, glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, glyoxylic acid, oxaloacetic acid, α
-ketobutyric acid, pyruvic acid, α
-ketoglutaric acid, levulinic acid, 3-phenylacetylacetone and ethylacetoacetate, and their salts and their esters, and(b) at least 1 w/w % of a water soluble solute selected from the group consisting of halides, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates amd carbonates of alkali metals, the total concentration of the dissolved chelating agent and solute in an aqueous medium being sufficient so that the composition exhibits an osmotic pressure of 1.5 to 7 times greater than that of isotonic sodium chloride solution.
