SYNERGISTIC CATIONIC SURFACTANTS RESULTING IN MICROBIAL INHIBITION ON FOOD SURFACES AND HARD SURFACES

摘要

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a method of reducing microbes on a food surface and a hard surface. The disclosed antimicrobial composition comprises two cationic surfactants and one of the cationic surfactants is a quaternary ammonium cation. An additional disclosed antimicrobial composition may have a second cationic surfactant, a lantibiotic, and an aminopolycarboxylic acid.
