Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of a composition comprising tannins, preferably tannic acid, and fluoride for mitigating ammonia, methane and/or odor production and emissions. The invention also relates uses of such compositions.
Claims20
A composition comprising:
- one or more tannins;
- and
- fluoride selected from the group consisting of sodium fluoride (NaF), potassium fluoride (KF), lithium fluoride (LiF) and combinations thereof;
- and
- wherein the molar ratio between the one or more tannins and the fluoride is 100:1-1:1;
- or
- one or more tannins;
- and
- acetohydroxamic acid (AHA).
(canceled)
A kit comprising
- a first container comprising fluoride selected from the group consisting of sodium fluoride (NaF), potassium fluoride (KF), lithium fluoride (LiF) and combinations thereof;
- a second container comprising tannins;
- and
- wherein the molar ratio between tannins and the fluoride is 100:1-1:1;
- or
- a first container comprising acetohydroxamic acid (AHA);
- and
- a second container comprising tannins.
12-15. (canceled)
A method for preventing, ameliorating and/or treating urinary tract infections and/or cystitis and/or infections caused by ureolytic bacteria/microorganisms in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to said subject a composition comprising:
- one or more tannins;
- and
- fluoride selected from the group consisting of sodium fluoride (NaF), potassium fluoride (KF), lithium fluoride (LiF), and combinations thereof, or acetohydroxamic acid (AHA).
The method according to claim 22, wherein the ureolytic bacteria is selected from the group consisting of Klebsiella pneumonia, Streptococcus salivarius, Proteus mirabilis, and Helicobacter pylori.
