An antimicrobial composition comprising extracts from a plurality of plants is provided. The plants are selected from the group consisting of woody plants; succulent plants; and/or grasses. The plurality of plants may include each of a woody plant; a succulent plant; and a grass. Also provided is a method of manufacturing an antimicrobial composition, the method including the step of combining extracts from a plurality of plants selected from the group consisting of woody plants, succulent plants, and/or grasses. A method of controlling a microorganism including the step of contacting the microorganism with the antimicrobial composition is further provided. The microorganism may be located within an air conditioning system.

A method for producing a fermentate including the steps of obtaining a fruit or vegetable extract, treating the extract with a hydrolytic enzyme, mixing the extract with a fermenting microorganism, water, and a growth media to produce a liquid composition; and incubating the liquid composition at a controlled temperature and a controlled pH to produce a fermentate. A method for killing or inhibiting the growth of a contaminating microorganism on or within a food product, and a food product including a fermentate having a cellular mass component from a fermenting microorganism, a fermented fruit or vegetable extract and a hydrolytic enzyme are disclosed. A fermentate produced by any one of the methods described is contemplated. The fermentate may be a concentrated liquid or a dry powder and has the ability to inhibit the growth of a contaminating microorganism by 100% when diluted to less than 5% (w/v).

Provided is a disinfection composition, preparation method therefor and use thereof. The disinfection composition comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 2.2-4.8 parts of disinfection essential oil, 3-8 parts of polyethylene glycol hydrogenated castor oil, 0.05-0.5 parts of phytic acid, 0.05-0.5 parts of citric acid, 20-40 parts of a C.sub.2-C.sub.3 monohydric alcohol, and 45-62.1 parts of water. The disinfection composition of the present invention has significantly improved chemical stability, and still has good disinfection effect after storage for 3 months at 37° C., and has a significantly improved disinfection effect, a shortened action time, and an increased killing log value.
