Abstract
Nanoemulsion compositions with low toxicity that demonstrate broad spectrum inactivation of microorganisms or prevention of diseases are described. The nanoemulsions contain an aqueous phase, an oil phase comprising an oil and an organic solvent, and one or more surfactants. Methods of making nanoemulsions and inactivating pathogenic microorganisms are also provided.

-81. (canceled)
A composition comprising a nanoemulsion or a dilution thereof, the nanoemulsion consisting essentially of:
- (a) about 3% to about 15% by volume polysorbate 80;
- (b) about 3% to about 15% by volume ethanol;
- (c) 0.5% to about 7% by volume cetylpyridium chloride;
- (d) about 30% to about 90% by volume soybean oil;
- and
- (e) the balance is water,
- wherein the nanoemulsion particles have an average diameter of less than about 200 nm and the nanoemulsion has a milky white appearance.
A composition comprising a nanoemulsion or a dilution thereof, the nanoemulsion consisting essentially of:
- (a) about 5 to about 10 vol % by volume polysorbate 80;
