- the present invention also provides novel consumer products (in addition to the beverage and food products described above) comprising the preservative compositions described herein
- the present invention also provides methods of making the preservative compositions described herein. Such methods may include (1) heating water; (2) adding natural wax, such as beeswax, and mixing; (3) allowing the wax solution to cool; (4) removing solid wax; (5) mixing the water and wax extract mixture with potassium hydroxide; (6) providing d-limonene and an emulsif ⁇ er, such as soy lecithin, in a separate container and mixing; (7) adding the d-limonene and emulsif ⁇ er mixture to the water, wax extract and potassium hydroxide mixture; and (8) adding monohydric alcohol, such as ethanol, to the mixture formed by step 7.
- preservatives may be produced by (1) heating water up to a temperature of about 180F; (2) adding natural wax, such as beeswax, and mixing; (3) allowing the wax solution to cool to about room temperature; (4) removing solid wax formed by step 3; (5) mixing the water and wax extract mixture with potassium hydroxide; (6) providing d-limonene and an emulsif ⁇ er, such as soy lecithin, in a separate container and mixing until the emulsif ⁇ er is dissolved; (7) adding the d-limonene and emulsif ⁇ er mixture to the water, wax extract and potassium hydroxide mixture and mixing at a high shear and high mixing speed; and (8) adding monohydric alcohol, such as ethanol, to the mixture formed by step 7.
- Another embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of (1) heating water up to a temperature of about 180F; (2) adding natural wax, such as beeswax in an amount from about 0.1 to about 5.0%, and mixing until the wax is thoroughly dispersed in solution; (3) allowing the wax solution to cool to about room temperature; (4) removing solid wax formed by step 3; (5) adding additional water to the water and wax extract mixture formed in step 2; (6) mixing the product of step 5 with potassium hydroxide in an amount from about 0.01 to about 1.0%; (7) providing regular d-limonene in an amount from about 2.0 to about 20.0% and an emulsif ⁇ er, such as soy lecithin in an amount from about 0.1 to about 10.0% in a separate container and mixing until the emulsif ⁇ er is dissolved; (8) adding the d- limonene and emulsif ⁇ er mixture to the water and wax extract mixture and mixing at a high shear and high mixing speed; and (9) adding monohydric alcohol, such as
- a superior preservative composition may be formed by adding the monohydric alcohol, preferably ethanol, as the last step in the process. Without being bound by a particular theory, it is believed this may be due to partial incompatibility between emulsifiers such as soy lecithin and monohydric alcohols such as ethanol.
- Applicants have also unexpectedly found that superior preservative compositions may be formed by adding an emulsif ⁇ er and d-limonene mixture to the water, wax and potassium hydroxide mixture and then mixing the resulting combination of components at a high shear and high speed. For example, mixing speeds around, for example, 20,000 rpm provide excellent preservative compositions, although higher and lower rates also can be effective.
- mixing a monohydric alcohol such as ethanol into the composition at a similarly high mixing speed provides surprisingly useful preservative compositions. Again, somewhat higher or lower mixing rates also can be effective.
- the resultant composition may be pumped through filters at a pressure sufficient to effectively collect the preservative composition.
- the filtering pressure may be from about 5 to about 100 psi, preferably is from about 10 to about 40 psi, and more preferably is about 30 psi.
- the preservative composition may be cooled before use. Preferably the composition may be cooled to at least about 95°F. Cooling may be facilitated by the use of a heat exchanger.
- Preservative compositions according to the present invention may also be formed into a crystalline powder form to facilitate packaging and use. This may be achieved, for example, by reducing the water content to about 10% of the composition, adding xanthan gum and gum arabic in roughly equal amounts, drying the composition, and then grinding to break up larger particles. Drying may be achieved by, for example, a vacuum drier, a fluidized bed drier, a low temperature roller drier, a vacuum extrusion drier or by other drying means.
- preservative compositions according to the present invention may be added to the beverage product, food product or other consumer product, such that the preservative composition comprises from about 0.05 to about 5.0% by weight of the food, beverage or other product.
- any method insuring that the preservative compositions of the present invention are incorporated into the beverage, food or other consumer product is suitable.
- such compositions may be sprayed, injected, dipped or poured directly onto products.
- preservative compositions may be frozen and products may be placed in contact with the frozen preservative compositions.
- preservative compositions may be spray dried, freeze-dried and/or powdered and then applied to products.
- Preservative compositions may be added to a finished product or may be added at any step in the production processes of a beverage, food or other consumer product.
- the ingredients of the preservative of the invention as described above can be individually or collectively added to the final product or to what becomes the final product, or in a process of making the final product, either separately or all together at once.
