Providing a method for generating and releasing 1-MCP gas from a complex carrier through the use of a 1-MCP generator that enables the application of at least one physical, releasing force to a carrier complex and/or mixture comprising water and the carrier complex, or the interaction of steam with a carrier complex and/or mixture comprising water and the carrier complex, over a determined period of time.

The present disclosure generally relates to a wearable insect repellent patch and sheets of such patches. Each patch consists of a patch substrate and an adhesive layer on the patch substrate, wherein the adhesive layer is configured to allow the wearable patch to be removably attached to a wearer or an object associated with the wearer or another human, wherein the patch substrate comprises an active agent. The active agent is an insect repellent that is configured to release an effective amount of the insect repellent for repelling insects or masking the wearer or the object associated with the wearer or another human from insect detection. The insect repellent consists of one or more essential oils. The present disclosure also relates to kits and packages comprising insect repellent patches.

The invention discloses an exopolysaccharide from Rhodopseudomonas palustris and a method for preparing and use thereof, and the method for preparing comprises the steps of: 1) keeping a seed solution from Rhodopseudomonas palustris GJ-22 in a fermentation medium for fermentation culture to obtain a fermentation broth; 2) centrifuging the fermentation broth to take the supernatant, which is treated by alcohol precipitation after filtration, and then collecting the pellet from alcohol precipitation by centrifugation to obtain crude polysaccharide; 3) removing proteins from the rude polysaccharide using protease enzymolysis method and Sevag method, followed by dialysis treatment with distilled water to remove small molecules and organic solvent to obtain a polysaccharide sample; 4) purifying the polysaccharide sample through an anion exchange column and a molecular exclusion chromatography column obtain the exopolysaccharide from Rhodopseudomonas palustris.

A composition for a sterilizing solution and a method of use thereof intent to provide the user a sterile lubricant for a chainsaw/bandsaw machine, such that they inhibit the spread of tree infections from one tree to another during the process of cutting multiple trees. Preferably, the sterilizing solution includes essential oils that contain terpenes, carvacrol, eugenol, thymol, and other anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral elements. Further, the method of application provides the user the ability to continuously cut one tree after another without the potential danger of spreading an infection from one tree to another tree. Additionally, the method enables users to apply the sterilizing solution over cutting blades as well as over cut tree stumps, thereby sterilizing the surfaces, repelling bugs and preventing infections that are associated with the tree cutting process. Furthermore, the sterilizing solution is a plant-based biodegradable sterilizer that does not harm the environment when used.
