Abrégé

The present invention relates to modified "aqua feed," or fish and shrimp feed, having enhanced antimicrobial properties effective at suppressing and controlling infection. The modified feed composition includes an acidulant, such as ACS or HAMO, as well as optionally a clay material and a desiccant. The ACS is preferably at a normality of 5-10 N. The clay material has been shown to be effective at adsorption of aflatoxins. The pH of the feed composition is preferably about 4.5 to about 5.0. Other acids and additives can also be added to the feed composition.

Abrégé

A preservative and additive for food and feed. One aspect of the invention concerns various acidified clays and minerals as food or feed additive to kill, or inhibit the growth of, harmful microorganisms and to inactivate mycotoxins, such as aflatoxins, present as contaminants in human foods and animal feeds. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a clay of hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate with relatively uniform particle size distribution.

Abrégé

The present invention relates to quaternary ammonium salts and their use as mold inhibitors. The quaternary salts can be prepared by a chloride ion-promoted reaction between a tertiary amine and an alcohol or polyol in strong acid solution. The quaternary ammonium salts can be applied to a substrate in order to impart anti-mold properties to the substrate. Preferably, the quaternary ammonium salt compounds are applied to paper substrates in an amount of about 1000 ppm. Preferably, the quaternary ammonium salts compounds are applied as mixtures of more than one quartemary ammonium salt compound. The treated substrate does not require encapsulators, binders, or retention aids.

Abrégé

An antimicrobial matrix and its preparation. A matrix having its surface coupled to a quaternary ammonium cation. The matrix has functional groups on its surface capable of coupling to an organic moiety containing the quaternary ammonium cation. The functional groups include the hydroxyl groups of cellulose. The antimicrobial matrix prevents the growth of microbes, such as molds, on the matrix. Examples of the matrix include a paper product, a wallboard paper, cotton, linen, wool, and silk.
