Abstract
The invention relates to the use of a composition for the antimicrobial and/or antioxidative treatment of biofilms in water-containing liquids, comprising: (a) a micelle-forming solubilizate which comprises at least one plant extract, at least one emulsifier with an HLB number of 8 to 18, and water, and (b) at least one biodegradable antimicrobial agent selected from the group consisting of peroxides, including peroxycarboxylic acids and H2O2, hypochlorites, hypochlorous acid and a combination thereof.
Claims23
A method for an antimicrobial and/or antioxidative treatment of biofilms in an aqueous liquid, the method comprising:
- introducing into the aqueous liquid a composition which comprises:
- (a) a micelle forming solubilizate which comprises 5 to 40% by weight of at least one plant extract, 30 to 85% by weight of at least one emulsifier with an HLB value of 8 to 18, and water, and
- (b) 13 to 19% by weight H2O2 and 1 to 2.5% by weight L(+) lactic acid, wherein the aqueous liquid is not a human or animal body fluid.
A composition for an antimicrobial and/or antioxidative treatment of biofilms in aqueous liquids, comprising:
- (a) 78.5% to 86% by weight of a micelle-forming solubilizate which comprises 5 to 40% by weight of at least one plant extract, wherein the at least one plant extract originates from olives, garlic, onions and/or citrus fruits, 30 to 85% by weight of at least one emulsifier, wherein the at least one emulsifier comprises at least 80% by weight of polysorbates, and 10 to 40% by weight of water, and
- (b) 13 to 19% by weight H2O2 and 1 to 2.5% by weight L(+) lactic acid.
