The concentration of the produced organic peracid in each of the preparations was 15 to 800 ppm and then the concentration of the produced organic peracid in the preparation showing the MLC is shown in Table 2. Here, a method for quantitating the concentration of the organic peracid is as follows (and that is the same in the succeeding Examples as well).
- About 2 g of the diluted preparation are precisely weighed in a conical beaker having its capacity of 200mL, the solution is cooled by adding 10 mL of 20% sulfuric acid and 2 or 3 pieces of ice thereto, and then 1 or 2 drops of a saturated aqueous solution of manganese sulfate as catalyst are added. Further, a titration is carried out using an N/2 solution of potassium permanganate. When the solution colors in pale pink for 1 to 10 seconds, the titration is made into finish. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide is calculated by the following Formula (1-1).
- T1:
- Amount (mL) required for the titration of potassium permanganate
- F1:
- Factor of potassium permanganate
- W1:
- Weight (g) of the preparation
- About 1 g of the diluted preparation is precisely weighed in an Erlenmeyer flask having its capacity of 300mL and having its connective stopper therewith. Then, 10 mL of 20% sulfuric acid, 20 mL of pure water and 2 mL of a saturated aqueous solution of potassium iodide are added thereto and the flask is tightly closed and gently shaken. This is allowed to quietly stand in a cool and dark place for 5 minutes and then titrated with an N/5 solution of sodium thiosulfate. When the solution colors in light yellow, a few drops of a 2% solution of starch were added thereto and the titration is continued. When violet color of the solution disappears, the titration is made into finish. The concentration of the organic peracid is calculated as the concentration of peracetic acid by the following Formula (1-2).
- T2:
- Amount (mL) required for the titration of sodium thiosulfate
- F2:
- Factor of sodium thiosulfate
- W2:
- Weight (g) of the preparation
- H:
- The concentration (%) of hydrogen peroxide calculated from Formula (1-1)
- From the result of Table 2, it is recognized that the preparations of Examples 1 to 6 are more excellent in the germicidal effect than those of Comparative Examples 1 to 2. Examples 7 to 12 and Comparative Examples 3 to 4
- The following tests were carried out by using the composition of Table 1. The result is shown in Table 3.
- Bacillus cereus (IFO 13494, being available in same way as IFO 12732 mentioned above) was heated by a conventional manner and the obtained spores were used for the test.
- The compsitions as shown in Table 1 were diluted stepwise by a sterilized water into 5 to 0.1 % by weigtht to make preparations. Protease [KAP11.1G, manufactured by Kao Corp.] was added into each of the preparations to make it 1APU/L and then the above-mentioned spores were added in concentration of the 1.0 × 107 cells/mL thereto. Incidentally, all of Examples were adjusted to pH 7.0 with citric acid. The resultant solution was allowed to stand at 25°C for 30 minutes, 100µL from this solution were taken, 0.9 mL of a 1% aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate was added to inactivate the preparation, and 5µL of the resultant mixture were inoculated on an incubating medium (200µL of an SCDLP medium) and incubated at 35°C. Then, the minimum lethal concentration (MLC) was determined. The concentration of the produced organic peracid in each of the preparations was 150 to 10000 ppm and then the concentration of the produced organic peracid in each of the preparations showing the MLC is shown in Table 3.
- From the result of Table 3, it is recognized that the preparations of Examples 7 to 12 are more excellent in the sporicidal effect than those of Comparative Examples 3 to 4. Examples 13 to 24 and Comparative Examples 5 to 8
- The following tests were carried out using the compositions of Table 1. The result is shown in Tables 4 and 5.
-
- ① poliovirus: poliovirus type 3, vaccinal strain (Sabin strain)
- ② Herpes simplex virus: HF strain
- Here, FL cells were used for measuring the growth of the virus and the infection value with the virus.
-
- ① Each of the compositions as shown in Table 1 was diluted with a sterilized water to the concentration as shown in Tables 4 and 5 to prepare the preparations for the poliovirus and for the herpes simplex virus.
- ② Each of the preparations was mixed with protease [KAP11.1G, manufactured by Kao Corp.] to make it 1 APU/L. Incidentally, all of Examples were adjusted to pH 7.0 with citric acid. The concentration of the produced organic peracid in each of the preparations was 160 to 3200 ppm for Examples 13 to 24 and 210 to 3500 ppm for Comparative Examples 6 and 8. No organic peracid was produced in Comparative Examples 5 and 7.
- ③ 50µL of the protease-containing preparation were mixed with 50µL of a virus solution.
- ④ The resultant mixture was allowed to stand at 25°C for 30 minutes and then 50µL of a 2% aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate were added thereto.
- ⑤ The resultant solution as a mixed system of the above-mentioned 3 components was diluted stepwise at the interval of 10-fold to measure the infection value with virus. Incidentally, 50µL of a 2% aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate were added to 50µL of the preparation containing no protease, the resultant mixture was allowed to stand for 30 minutes and then 50µL of a virus solution was added thereto to prepare a virus control.
- From the result of Tables 4 and 5, it is recognized that the preparations of Examples 13 to 24 are more excellent in the inhibitory property from both infections with poliovirus and with herpes simplex virus than those of Comparative Examples 5 to 8.
- A dirt model by protein (a 30% aqueous solution of a skim milk) is applied on a piece of SUS 304 cut into the size of 2 cm × 3 cm, and modified by heating at 110°C for 2 hours. Then, 100µL of spores (1.0 × 107 spores/mL) of Bacillus cereus (IFO 13494) are applied thereon to obtain a test piece.
- Using the preparations which were prepared by diluting the compositions of Table 1 directly to the concentrations shown in Table 6, the following tests were carried out. All of Comparative Examples were adjusted to pH 7.0 with citric acid except those using the compositions a and b. Then, the concentration of the produced organic peracid in each of the preparations was 240 to 2500 ppm for Comparative Examples 10 to 16. For Comparative Example 9, no organic peracid was produced.
- The composition of Table 1 was mixed with protease [KAP11.1G, manufactured by Kao Corp.] to make it 1 APU/L, the resultant mixture was diluted to the concentration as shown in Table 6. Using the resultant preparation, the following tests were carried out. All of Examples and Comparative Examples were adjusted to pH 7.0 with citric acid except those using the compositions a and b. Then, the concentration of the produced organic peracid in each of the preparations was 240 to 450 ppm for Examples 25 to 30 and 2500 to 3000 ppm for Comparative Examples 18 to 19. For Comparative Examples 17 and 20 to 22, no organic peracid was produced.
- A test piece was dipped for 30 minutes in 10 mL of each of the preparations and then the surface of each of the test pieces was washed with 2 mL of a 1% aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate. In case there were residual protein components, they were physically peeled off and dispersed in 2 mL of a 1% aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate. 5 µL from this solution were taken and inoculated on an incubating medium (200µL of an SCDLP medium) whereupon the germicidal effect was evaluated.
- A test piece was dipped for 30 minutes in 10 mL of each of the preparations and then the residual protein components were dyed with erythricin B. The evaluation was carried out according to the following criteria.
- ○: Completely washed (not dyed)
- Δ: Incompletely washed (dyed areas were noted)
- ×: Rarely washed (almost whole areas were dyed)
