The present invention provides an antimicrobial composition comprising a cyclic compound having Formula I, wherein R<SP>1</SP> and R<SP>2</SP> are independently selected from -OH, =O, and -OC(O)R', wherein R' is a hydrocarbyl group; wherein R<SP>3</SP> is selected from -OH, =O, a substitutent comprising an -OH group and -OC(O)R', wherein R' is a H or a hydrocarbyl group, wherein R<SP>4</SP> and R<SP>5</SP> are each independently selected from a hydrocarbyl group, H, OH, =O, and -OC(O)R', wherein R' is a H or a hydrocarbyl group or wherein R<SP>4</SP> and R<SP>5</SP> represent a bond with an adjacent atom on the ring of the cyclic compound; and wherein said compound comprises at least one ester group. The invention further relates to a process for preventing and/or inhibiting the growth of, and/or killing, micro-organisms in a material, and the use of a cyclic compound having Formula I. |
