  • Favoured aglycones of bioflavonoids for use in this invention are the disaccharides 6-O-(alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranose, also known as rutinose, and 2-O-(alpha-L-rhamnopyra-nosyl)-beta-D-glucopyra-rose.
  • Suitable compounds of Formula (I) include neoeriocitrin, isonaringin, hesperidin, neodiosmin, naringenin, poncirin and rhiofolin, in addition to naringin and neohesperidin.
  • One of these compounds may be present in addition to naringin and neohesperidin, although a mixture of two or more of these compounds is particularly preferred.
  • Such mixtures can be obtained by extraction from bitter oranges and the end product is called citrus aurantium amara extract. Particularly preferred are the mixtures of bioflavonoid obtained from the extract of crushed whole immature bitter oranges.
  • the mixtures can also be derived from the starting material comprised of the pith of immature, bitter (blood/red) oranges such as Seville oranges that are classed as ‘inedible’ and from which the pips, flesh and oily skin have been substantially removed or remain undeveloped.
  • Suitable mixtures can include 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or more compounds of Formula (I).
  • a mixture comprising 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 of the above named bioflavonoids is preferable, for example containing 3, or containing 4, or containing 5, or containing 6, or containing 7, or containing 8, or containing 9 of said bioflavonoids.
  • extract of bitter oranges is employed without the need for isolating individual bioflavonoids.
  • biomass may be associated with up to 40-60% wt/wt, preferably about 55% wt/wt based on the weight of the bioflavonoid content of the composition.
  • the biomass comprises pectins and other sugar derived materials. If it is desired to avoid biomass, other solubilising agents such as dextrines, for example cyclodextrin, may be employed if desired.
  • compositions described herein may employ compounds of natural origin.
  • compounds of Formula (I) from bitter oranges.
  • synthetically or semi-synthetically obtained compounds may be employed if desired instead of the ones directly extracted from natural sources although this tends to be less favourable in view of cost.
  • compositions may further comprise oleuropein.
  • oleuropein Preferably this is obtained from extraction from the leaf of the olive, for example Olea europaea .
  • Such extracts typically contain 5% to 80% wt/wt, more preferably 10% to 70%, for example 20% wt/wt of oleuropein.
  • the wt/wt ratio of bioflavonoids to oleuropein can be 5:1 to 1:4, preferably 2:1 to 1:2, more preferably 1:2 to 1:1 and even more preferably 3:2.
  • the composition may further comprise one or more fruit acids, for example citric acid, malic acid, and ascorbic acid.
  • One or more of the acids are preferably neutralized with a suitable base, such as a quaternary ammonium base, for example a choline base, such as choline carbonate, bicarbonate or, preferably, hydroxide.
  • a suitable base such as a quaternary ammonium base
  • a choline base such as choline carbonate, bicarbonate or, preferably, hydroxide.
  • citric, malic and ascorbic acids are all used in the preparation of the composition, and especially preferred is when these are fully neutralized to provide citrate, malate and/or ascorbate salts.

  • composition described herein is particularly effective in the presence of one or more organic acids.
  • the composition further comprises one or more organic acids.
  • a surprisingly effective organic acid is salicylic acid or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt optionally together with a further organic acid or pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
  • the salicylic acid may be obtained from willow bark extract. Alternatively, methods for synthesising salicylic acid are known to those skilled in the art.
  • the salicylic acid is in the form of the acid rather than its salt.
  • a further organic acid if present is similarly in the form of the acid rather than its salt.
  • Suitable further organic acids include acids of up to 8 carbon atoms which are monobasic (i.e. one CO 2 H group), di-basic or tri-basic acid which optionally contain 1, 2 or 3 hydroxyl groups.
  • Such further organic acid may be one or more of citric acid, malic acid, latic acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid and the like.
  • compositions can provide an approximately neutral or acid pH, when used, for example from 3 to 8, more aptly 3.5 to 7, for example 4 to 5.

  • Paper is defined as a material produced from a cellulose pulp which may be derived from wood, rags or grasses.
  • the paper may be in the form of a paper towel, towelette, cloth, wipe or pad.
  • Paper towels have a variety of applications, for example, paper towels are used to dry a person's hands after washing, also known as hand towels.
  • Paper towels or wipes are also used for cleaning purposes to wipe down surfaces in a hospital, laboratory or a kitchen, for example, and can also be known as kitchen roll, kitchen paper or kitchen wipes.
  • Pads are cellulosic fibre sponges and have application in personal hygiene and in medical kits. Wipes are produced as air-laid paper where the fibres are carried and formed to the structure of paper by air.
  • the paper may be treated with softeners, lotions or added perfume to create a desirable “feel” or texture.
  • bamboo materials may be formed of bamboo fibre which is a cellulose fibre extracted or fabricated from natural bamboo.
  • bamboo is a sustainable crop and, as a natural product derived entirely from plant cellulose, bamboo fibre is biodegradable by microorganisms in soil and also by sunlight.
  • the bamboo materials of the present invention are formed of 100% bamboo fibres although mixtures with other cellulose fibres are also contemplated.
  • the bamboo may also be in the form of a paper towel, towelette, wipe or pad which may have the same applications as paper towels.
  • the bamboo fibres may also be used as a clothing fabric, optionally in combination with other known fibres, to make garments, such as socks and hospital gowns.
  • socks made from bamboo fibres impregnated with the bioflavonoid compositions described herein can help reduce foot odour.
  • the bioflavonoid impregnated bamboo fibres are activated when they come into contact with moisture from the foot.

Such food pads are often found in the bottom of food packaging and can also be referred to as napkins or blankets. The use of these food pads is particularly desirable in food packaging containing food with a short shelf life, for example meat or fruit. The food product, for example, the meat or fruit generally sit on top of the food pad within the packaging.
  • the bioflavonoid impregnated food pad provides a dramatic reduction in the number of bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli and Campylobacter which cause foods such as meat and fresh fruit to decay, reducing their shelf life.
  • the bioflavonoid impregnated food pads are particularly suitable in the packaging of meats, including poultry (e.g. chicken or turkey), lamb, beef and pork; fish, including salmon and prawns; and fruits including soft fruits such as blackberries, raspberries, loganberries, strawberries and the like.

  • the bioflavonoid content may comprise 40-50%, for example about 45% wt/wt of the bioflavonoid composition.
  • a suitable source of a bioflavonoid composition is herein referred to as “HPLC 45” or “Citrox BC” of which about 45% (of the total composition of HPLC 45/Citrox BC) comprises bioflavonoids.
  • the bioflavonoids are in admixture with biomass residues of extraction from bitter oranges, such as pectins, sugars and minor organic acids, which make up the remaining 55%.
  • HPLC 45 is available from Exquim (a company of Grupo Ferrer) as Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex 45% HPLC.
  • Staphylococcus aureus was chosen as a representative gram positive organism. This organism is found on mammalian skin and is, therefore, shed into the surrounding environment. E. coli was chosen as the representative of the gram negative enteric bacteria. This organism is found in the digestive tract of birds, mammals and reptiles. Its presence in the environment signals fecal contamination. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was chosen to represent the non-enteric gram-negative bacteria. This genera of bacteria is present in water with related species representing major plant pathogens and human opportunistic pathogens. Bacillus subtilis was chosen as the representative gram positive spore-formers. This bacterium is found in soil and water but is also ubiquitous in the environment.
  • Endospores form endospores as a survival mechanism. Bacterial endospores are the most resistant form of life on Earth and, therefore, represent an ongoing concern for sanitation, disinfection and sterilisation processes. Endospores represent the “ultimate” challenge for any antimicrobial agent.
  • MIC Minimum Inhibitory Concentration
  • MCC Minimum Bactericidal Concentration
  • a pure culture of a single microorganism is grown in an appropriate broth.
  • the culture is standardized using standard microbiological techniques to have a concentration of very near 1 million cells per millilitre. The more standard the microbial culture, the more reproducible the test results.
  • the antimicrobial agent is diluted a number of times, 1:1, using sterile diluents. After the antimicrobial agent has been diluted, a volume of the standardised inoculums equal to the volume of the diluted antimicrobial agent is added to each dilution vessel, bringing the microbial concentration to approximately 500,000 cells per millilitre.
  • the inoculated, serially diluted antimicrobial agent is incubated at an appropriate temperature for the test organism for a pre-set period, usually 18 hours.
  • the series of dilution vessels is observed for microbial growth, usually indicated by turbidity and/or a pellet of microorganisms in the bottom of the vessel.
  • the last tube in the dilution series that does not demonstrate growth corresponds with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the antimicrobial agent.
  • microbiostatic agent bacteria are not killed just inhibited
  • bacteria bacteria are killed
  • an MBC test is performed. When a microbiostatic agent is removed or neutralized, previously inhibited bacteria begin to grow again. Each well showing no growth/turbidity in the MIC test is sub-cultured on media that contains no biocide. Any microbial growth resulting from this test indicates that, at that concentration, the active is microbiostatic. If the subculture results in no bacterial regrowth, then, at that concentration, the active is microbiosidal.
  • the range of concentration of Citrox BC active tested was 0.075-0.75%.
  • the MIC test is an established “screen” for the biostatic (and possibly also biocidal) activity of liquid antimicrobials. It is often used to find the appropriate concentrations of an antimicrobial active to use for further efficacy testing. Performing both the MIC and MBC test will enable one to differentiate between a biocidal or biostatic mode of action. Depending on the concentration of active used and the contact time an active will often demonstrate both biostatic and biocidal modes of action.
  • Citrox BC active tested was 0.075%-0.75%.
  • P. aeruginosa no MIC value was obtained as all concentrations of the Citrox BC active tested showed no turbidity (Table 2).
  • MCB testing showed that all concentrations were also bactericidal for B. subtilis , there was also no MIC value obtained demonstrating that inhibition of growth took place at all concentrations tested.
  • the MBC value obtained for B. subtilis was 0.315% Citrox BC active. This means that concentrations ranging from 0.075% to 0.315% are bacteristatic and all concentrations of the Citrox BC active greater than or equal to 0.315% are bactericidal.
  • a timed kill test assesses the amount of time it takes to kill a defined population of microorganisms.
  • a wide variety of microorganisms are killed by the Citrox BC active.
  • An important first step in characterising this active for use in an antimicrobial towel is to verify the kill claims. Claims for efficacy are based on the number of bacterial killed within a defined time frame. The most rigorous claims are those made for food contact where the active must affect a 5 log reduction of the challenge organism in 30 seconds.
  • the ultimate test for any antimicrobial active is the ability to kill spores. Any chemical or process that kills a bacterial spore is, by definition, a sterilant.
  • a kill test was performed on an actual spore suspension. Citrox BC, over a range 0.5% to 1.5%, was tested over a 1 hour time period. There were some limitations to this test.
  • the spore suspension ( B. subtilis , ATCC 6633, 6.4 ⁇ 10 4 CFU/pellet, Microbiologics) in the test was only at ⁇ 2 ⁇ 10 4 CFU/ml, limiting the log reduction calculation.
  • the lyophilized pellets were found to contain charcoal, a substance known to neutralise the bioflavonoid component of the Citrox BC active. With those limitations, approximately a 2 log reduction in spores was demonstrated. This indicates that the Citrox BC active has definite activity against spores. Spore suspensions at a higher titer without a charcoal additive should be used to investigate this activity further.
  • Bounty® (“Bounty” is a registered trademark of Procter & Gamble) brand paper towels were used to make the dry antimicrobial towels.
  • Bounty® paper towels are a conventional, commercially available paper towel product.
  • Citrox BC active concentrate was diluted to desired concentrations.
  • One paper towel was immersed completely into the diluted active and then wrung out by hand. The towel was dried overnight.
  • a RODAC plate is used to touch the surface to be sampled after which the plate is incubated at an appropriate temperature.
  • nutrients in the media that promote the growth of a variety of microbes.
  • Lecithin and Polysorbate 80 are incorporated in the agar and function as disinfectant/sanitizer neutralisers. The type and number of microorganisms is detected by the appearance of colonies on the surface of the agar medium. Collection of samples from the same area before and after cleaning and treatment with a disinfectant permits the evaluation of sanitary procedures.
  • Paper towels wetted with water and containing no Citrox BC active were assessed for the ability to remove bacteria from a contaminated hard surface.
  • the results for this control i.e. unimpregnated paper towels
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show the results for both S. aureus and E. coli .
  • Paper towels containing dilutions of the Citrox BC active greater than 1:200 were able to reduce the levels of S. aureus from >50 CFU/cm 2 to ⁇ 1 CFU/cm 2 .
  • the paper towels containing dilutions of the Citrox BC active greater than 1:200 were able to reduce the levels of E. coli from >7 CFU/cm 2 to ⁇ 1 CFU/cm 2 .
  • RODAC plates are recommended for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms present on surfaces of sanitary importance.
  • RODAC plates are specially constructed so that an agar medium can be overfilled producing a dome-shaped surface that can be pressed on a surface for sampling its microbial content.
  • RODAC plates are used in a variety of programs to establish and monitor cleaning techniques and schedules.
