[0030]Synergistic preservative action of Nα-lauroyl arginine ethyl ester (LAE). The results are set forth below in Table 1.

[0031]The results in Table 1 clearly indicate synergy between LAE and glycerol monolaurate (“monolaurin”) as a combination preservative. Thus used in the amounts of 10 ppm LAE with 40 ppm Monolaurin, complete growth inhibition of candida albicans is obtained whereas when used alone, 30 ppm of LAE or much more than 100 ppm monolaurin would be required to achieve growth inhibition.

[0033]The method of preservation of this invention can be used by incorporating the biocidal salts in equipment for handling blood products such as blood sera, test tubes, vacutainer tubes, and other blood handling items; plasma bags; disposable gloves; condoms; band-aids, or bandages; and feminine hygiene products including but not limited to sanitary napkins and tampons.

[0034]The methods of preservation of this invention comprise utilizing a salt of a cation of a Nα—(C1-C22) alkanoyl di-basic amino acid alkyl (C1-C22) ester cationic biocidal molecule and an anion consisting of acetate, sulphate, chloride, or bromide.

Antimicrobial Activity of Compounded Films

[0044]Two beef loins from a slaughterhouse were tested in a heat-sealed package simulating food packaging. The linear low density polyethylene film was compounded with 1% by weight LAE-HCl biocidal salt based on the weight of the film. The results are reported in Table 3 below. The log colony forming units (“CFU”) reduction values for bacteria that are part of the background flora of raw meat for both samples are 42 days indicate that there is a release of the salt of the invention from the polyethylene film to the surrounding beef surfaces.

Abstract

This invention discloses a method of preservation of a food product comprising the step of adding 1) a first component comprising between 10 ppm and 1% of a biocidal salt of Nα—(C1-C22) alkanoyl di-basic amino acid alkyl (C1-C22) ester cationic biocidal molecule with an anionic counterion, and 2) a second component comprising from 10 ppm to 1% by weight an acyl monoglyceride, directly to a food product. The preferred cationic biocidal molecule comprises Nα-lauroyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (“LAE”). The invention also discloses the method of preservation of a food product using salts of a Nα—(C1-C22) alkanoyl di-basic amino acid alkyl (C1-C22) ester cationic biocidal molecule and an anionic counterion with or without a monoglyceride of a fatty acid, whereby the packaging film is compounded with the salts and the optional monoglyceride of a fatty acid.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of application Ser. No. 12 / 455,197, filed May 28, 2009. This application claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 341,702, filed Apr. 3, 2010. The disclosures of all of the foregoing applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to a method of preservation using biocidal compositions that are environmentally safe that can have antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. The method of preservation uses salts of a cation of a INV (C1-C22) alkanoyl di-basic amino acid alkyl (C1-C22) ester biocidal molecule and an anion of a monomeric molecule with or without a monoglyceride of a fatty acid.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The use of environmentally beneficial compositions, especially those that are referred to as “green”, is important in choosing biocidal materials that can be used as preservatives. T...
