The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for making one or more antimicrobial compositions and/or one or more virucidal disinfectant compositions. Said methods and systems include exposing a vegetable oil composition to ozone gas to cause ozonolysis of on one or more unsaturated fatty acids present in the vegetable oil composition, thereby forming an ozonated vegetable oil composition and exposing the ozonated vegetable oil composition to a temperature greater than 60° C. while in contact with water to decompose one or more ozonide compounds and form a heat-treated, ozonated vegetable oil composition. The present disclosure also relates to one or more uses of said one or more antimicrobial compositions and/or one or more virucidal disinfectant compositions.

Devices, methods and systems for disinfecting dry goods are described herein. In an aspect, dry goods such as dry foods can be sprayed within a disinfection device by a gas and liquid mixture. The gas and liquid mixture may include a mild acid and an ozone gas fluidized using a fluidization element of the device. As a result, spraying the dry goods with the gas and liquid mixture, the microbial activity on the dry goods are reduced and disinfection is achieved. Furthermore, organic dry goods such as corn, garlic, onions, and other such food items can maintain its organic status using the described disinfection devices, methods, and systems.

A method of processing raw sugar cane juice, comprising: reducing the pH of the sugar cane juice to a pH at which microbiological activity is substantially eliminated; separating chlorophyll from the sugar cane juice; separating particles having a diameter greater than 0.5 microns from the sugar cane juice; denaturing polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the sugar cane juice by pasteurisation; separating the denatured polyphenol oxidase from the sugar cane juice.

This disclosure provides generally for antimicrobial compositions and methods of use comprising an anthocyanin, an anthocyanidin or metabolites thereof. Methods for promoting healing of a wound using these compositions are also disclosed. These compositions have broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and are safe for human and animal uses. Further, these compositions are safe for medical uses and industrial uses as antiseptic preparations to reduce or prevent microbial growth, including killing bacterial biofilms.

The invention concerns a strain of Schizochytrium mangrovei, filed on 22 Nov. 2012 with the CNCM as number I-4702, having the ability to produce a high quantity of docosahexaenoic acid (or DHA) and palmitic acid, the methods for producing the corresponding biomass containing said lipid compounds of interest, and the biomass containing the products and compositions prepared from this strain.

The present disclosure provides compositions for antimicrobial use comprising a mineral acid, an organic acid, or a combination thereof; a copper(II) salt; and a buffering salt, a detergent, or a combination thereof. The present disclosure also provides methods for reducing the number of pathogens on a surface by applying compositions of the present disclosure to the surface.
