The present invention discloses a composition and method of providing ionic forms or compounds of any combination of three metals to produce a product that can be used as a antimicrobial as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) such as a hard surface disinfectant and as a foliar spray or water treatment for the control of various diseases in garden row, field and tree crops, on hard surface areas such as equipment from infected fields or in hospitals, homes, etc. as well as against a wide range of human, plant and animal diseases. Additionally, the composition of the present invention is able to be used to coat and otherwise treat and disinfect food products such as but not limited to fish and shellfish, meat, milk, poultry, eggs and irrigated crops (both food and nonfood crops) as well as non food products as defined in the EPA exemption from tolerance for copper and copper products. The composition may include inerts such as surfactants, detergents and buffers to adjust the pH. The composition remains soluble in water and is useful efficacious against the spread of bacteria, viruses and fungi and other pathogens within a source of water such as a reservoir or pool. Alternatively, the composition may be in aerosolized, misted, vaporized, fogged, humidified forms to produce micronized particles which are able to remain in suspension in the air for long periods of time in order to act on air-borne fungal spores and/or pathogens.

The present invention relates to an adapter (1), an apparatus for and a method of extracting commodities from the pack compartments (28a, 28b) of a multicompartment sausage pack (10) in which the commodities extracted from the compartments (28a, 28b) are led in the adapter (1) separately in separate through flow channels (11a, 11b). By means of this the commodities can be extracted from the compartments of the multicompartment sausage pack in set proportional amounts without a forced intermixing.

The multi-function juicer is a tool used for meat grinding and juice extraction. By changing the blade and screw bolt inside, it can serve the double purpose of either meat grinding or juice extraction. By repetitively rotating the handle, the screw bolt and the blade will rotate, too. This will drive the meat to pass through the pedal blade to smash into smaller ground meat, or drive the fruit to pass through the rotating blade and screw bolt to extract juice. The wetness of the pulp can be adjusted by controlling the wetness control unit. There is no need for extra processes to separate the juice from pulp, or to control the wetness of the pulp. It provides a convenient way to use one simple juicer to extract juice from different fruits. The other special point of this invention is that it has a vacuum disk on the bottom. Before meat grinding or juice extraction, the user only needs to rotate the handle inside the body. Then this multi-function juicer will be mounted to the kitchen table, which is very convenient.

Disclosed herein are anti-microbial wash compositions and methods for using such compositions in controlling microbe growth on a non-meat food product (e.g., fruits, vegetables, grains, eggs, etc.) by applying or contacting the anti-microbial wash composition with a surface of the food product to kill microbes (e.g., bacteria) on a surface of the food product. The anti-microbial wash compositions include a ceragenin compound dispersed in a fluid carrier. The ceragenin compound includes a sterol backbone and a number of cationic groups attached to the sterol backbone. The cationic groups may be attached to the sterol backbone by a hydrolysable linkage so that the ceragenin compound has a relatively short half life (e.g., less than about 40 days), and the wash composition may be applied prior to shipping and washed off after shipping to minimize any ceragenin compound residue.

A fruit/vegetable juice spinning filter includes a container, a strainer basket, and a cover. The container internally defines a chamber and is provided with a bottom opening and a juice outlet. The strainer basket is disposed in the chamber of the container to define a filtered juice receiving space between the container and the strainer basket. The strainer basket has a spinning shaft downward extended through the bottom opening of the container to associate with an external rotary drive source. The cover closes a top of the container and the strainer basket. When an amount of primarily extracted and pulp-containing fruit/vegetable juice is poured into the strainer basket, and the spinning shaft and accordingly the strainer basket are driven by the external rotary drive source to spin, the primarily extracted juice in the strainer basket is centrifugally separated from the pulp to produce almost pulp-free juice.
