Claims11
A method for controlling the formation of color in a peroxide disinfecting system including, in combination, a peroxidase, peroxide and an iodide salt formulated in a desired ratio to cause disinfection within an aqueous medium comprising the steps of adding to said combination a decolorizer selected from the group consisting of:
- sorbic acid, malonic acid, boronic acid, sodium chloride and peroxide where said peroxide is in an amount above the peroxide level needed for said disinfection.
A method for controlling the formation of color in a peroxide disinfecting system including, in combination, a peroxidase, peroxide and an iodide salt formulated in a desired ratio to cause disinfection within an aqueous medium comprising the steps of introducing a neutralizing agent into said aqueous medium for interrupting the reaction between the aforesaid components of the disinfecting system upon reaching a minimum acceptable color threshold level.
A method for controlling the formation of color in a peroxide disinfecting system including, in combination, a peroxidase, peroxide and an iodide salt formulated in a desired ratio to cause disinfection within an aqueous medium comprising the step of limiting the level of said iodide salt to a concentration corresponding to a minimum acceptable color threshold level and adding at least a second donor molecule other than an iodide salt as a supplement to cause additional disinfection.
A color controlled disinfection peroxide cold sterilization composition comprising a peroxidase, peroxide, and iodide salt and a decolorizer selected from the class consisting of sorbic acid, malonic acid, boronic acid and sodium chloride.
A color controlled disinfection peroxide cold sterilization composition comprising a disinfectant consisting essentially of a peroxidase, peroxide, an iodide salt and a decolorizing agent adapted to neutralize said disinfectant in an aqueous medium over a controlled time period.
A method for controlling the formation of color in a peroxide disinfecting system including, in combination, a peroxidase, peroxide and an iodide salt formulated in a desired ratio to cause disinfection within an aqueous medium comprising the step of limiting the level of said iodide salt to a concentration corresponding to a acceptable minimum color threshold level.
