Use of derivatized nanoparticles to minimize growth of micro-organisms in hot filled drinks

摘要

A method of removing a selected two or more different metal-ion sequestering agents for removing one or more designated metal ions. The method includes subjecting a liquid to a first metal-ion sequestering agent for removing a first designated metal ion prior to placing the liquid in a container; providing the container for holding the liquid, the container having an internal surface having a second metal-ion sequestering agent provided on at least a portion of the internal surface for removing a second designated metal-ion from the liquid; filling the container with the liquid in an open environment; and closing the container with the liquid contained therein.
