A stable glutaraldehyde complex comprising a PVP polymer and an alcohol ethoxylate surfactant

摘要

Disclosed is a stable glutaraldehyde polymer complex solution which includes: (a) glutaraldehyde (OCH(CH2)3CHO); (b) an alcohol ethoxylate surfactant; (c) a sufficient amount of a pH modifier to bring the pH 5 of the solution to within a 6.0 to 9.0 range; (d) a buffer to maintain the pH of the solution within the range 6.0 to 9.0; and (e) a polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer. Also disclosed is the use of the glutaraldehyde polymer complex in methods of preserving fish and prolonging the shelf life of fresh meat.
