An antimicrobial composition containing a wasp extract, and more particularly, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial composition containing, as an active ingredient, an ethyl acetate fraction recovered by sequential organic solvent fraction of an ethanol extract of Vespa velutina nigrithorax or Vespa simillima simillima Smith. The Vespa velutina nigrithorax extract or the V. simillima simillima Smith extract exhibits excellent broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacterial and fungi, and thus may be used for pharmaceutical compositions, health functional foods, cosmetic compositions, animal feed compositions, additives for food, cosmetics or animal feed, various detergents and various cleansers. In addition, the extract has excellent heat stability, and does not lose its activity even under an acidic condition of pH 2.

A detergent or cleaning agent, in particular a cleaning agent for hard surfaces, having at least two phases which are different from each other. The detergent or cleaning agent includes at least one first phase and at least one second phase that is different, with the at least one first phase being solid and the at least one second phase having at least one polymer and at least one polyvalent alcohol.

The present invention relates to the use of natural polymers of the family of the proteins not exhibiting enzymatic activity as sacrificial materials of 3D fused deposition modeling.

The present invention relates to multi-use cleaning and degreasing detergent compositions, based on non-hydrolysed collagen, with improved cleaning and biodegradable properties, wherein the non-hydrolysed collagen is the surfactant and its presence in the composition, when formulated together with other surfactants, boosts the cleaning and degreasing effect of the composition as a result of the optimal quantitative ratio of the ingredients thereof and the synergy displayed between the non-hydrolysed collagen and the surfactant, and wherein the ranges by weight of the collagen and the surfactants do not exceed 25-30% by weight of the composition.

Surfactant-containing compositions are described which include a protein component that has the effect of improving the surface-active properties of the surfactants contained in the compositions. The surfactant-containing compositions having the protein component demonstrate significantly lower critical micelle concentrations (CMC), reduced surface tensions, and reduced interfacial tensions than do comparable compositions having no protein component. In addition, the surfactant-containing compositions having the protein component has the effect of converting greasy waste contaminants to surface active materials.
