Abstract

A surface disinfecting composition includes a combination of lauric arginate ethyl ester in combination with EDTA, octenyl succinic acid, octanoic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, or combinations thereof. The aqueous solution can be used to disinfect a wide variety of surfaces including food processing and storage equipment, vegetables and fruits, as well as animal carcasses such as poultry.

Claims

1. A composition for use in disinfecting surfaces comprising lauric arginate ethyl ester in combination with a second component wherein said second component is selected from the group consisting of EDTA, octenyl succinic acid, octanoic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, levulinic acid, and combinations thereof.

2. The cleaning solution claimed in claim 1 wherein said solution has a concentration of lauric arginate ethyl ester of at least about 5 ppm.

3. The composition claimed in claim 2 wherein said second component is EDTA having a concentration of at least 10 ppm.

4. The composition claimed in claim 2 wherein said second component is octenyl succinic acid having a concentration of at least about 20 ppm.

5. The composition claimed in claim 2 wherein said second component is octanoic acid having a concentration of at least about 5 ppm.

6. The composition claimed in claim 2 wherein said second component is glycolic acid having a concentration of at least about 40 ppm.

7. The composition claimed in claim 2 wherein the second component is selected from the group consisting of lactic acid citric acid, levulinic acid, and combinations thereof, at a concentration of at least 40 ppm.

8. A method of disinfecting a surface comprising applying to said surface a composition comprising lauric arginate ethyl ester in combination with a second component selected from the group consisting of EDTA, octenyl succinic acid, octanoic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, levulinic acid, and combinations thereof.

9. The method claimed in claim 8 wherein said surface comprises the surface of fruit or vegetables.

10. The method claimed in claim 8 wherein said surface comprises the surface of an animal carcass.
