FOOD CLEANING COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING CYCLODEXTRIN

摘要

The presente invention relates to a stable, preferably aqueous, food cleaning composition, preferably for use on produce and/or food contact surfaces. The composition typically comprises from about 0.1 % to about 20 %, by weight of the composition, of solubilized, water-soluble, uncomplexed cyclodextrin and an effective amount of at least one ingredient to improve the performance of the composition selected from the group consisting of: (1) cyclodextrin compatible surfactant; (2) cyclodextrin compatible antimicrobial active; and (3) mixtures thereof. Optional hydrophilic perfume improves acceptance. Optionally, the composition can contain low molecular weight polyols; metallic salts to help control odor; etc. The composition is preferably essentially free of any material that is not food compatible. The composition is preferably applied as small particle size droplets, especially from spray containers. The surfactant/antibacterial active combination, provides improved antimicrobial activity.
