Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
A microbicidal of microbiostatic food-grade composition comprising a food subject to microbial spoilage and therefore in need of preservation and containing in an effective amount of up to 30% by weight of a primary food-grade microbicide consisting essentially of a 1 or 2 -mono-laurin polyol ester as the sole active microbicide in the composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
A microbicidal of microbiostatic food-grade composition comprising a food subject to microbial spoilage and therefore in need of preservation and containing in an effective amount of up to 30% by weight of a primary food-grade microbicide consisting essentially of a 1 or 2 -mono-laurin polyol ester as the sole active microbicide in the composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the said ester has the formula ##STR2## where R is the lauric acid residue.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
50 words
A method for effecting a microbicidal action in a food subject to microbial spoilage and therefore in need of preservation; comprising adding thereto a microbicidally or microbiostatically effective amount of a food-grade microbicide consisting essentially of a 1 or 2-mono-laurin polyol ester as the sole active microbicide in the composition.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
50 words
A method for effecting a microbicidal action in a food subject to microbial spoilage and therefore in need of preservation; comprising adding thereto a microbicidally or microbiostatically effective amount of a food-grade microbicide consisting essentially of a 1 or 2-mono-laurin polyol ester as the sole active microbicide in the composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the composition is ingested by an animal or human.
