Abstract

A bacterial ferment obtained by a method including the following steps: (a) culturing Lactobacillus species in at least one growth medium for at least 24 hours; (b) separating the mixture via centrifugation; (c) adding lactic acid to the supernatant obtained from step b) in an amount sufficient to lower the pH value of the supernatant; (d) stabilizing the resulting mixture with the addition of at least one preservative and/or at least one multifunctional; and optionally (e) filtering the mixture to remove any final precipitation.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A bacterial ferment obtained by a method comprising the following steps:
(a) culturing Lactobacillus species in at least one growth medium for at least 24 hours;
(b) separating the mixture via centrifugation to obtain a supernatant;
(c) adding lactic acid to the supernatant obtained from step b) in an amount sufficient to lower the pH value of the supernatant to obtain a resulting mixture, wherein the amount of lactic acid is from 2 to 10 percent, by weight, of the total amount of the mixture;
(d) stabilizing the resulting mixture by adding at least one preservative and/or at least one multifunctional,
wherein the at least one preservative comprises benzoic acid, or esters and salts thereof; propionic acid or salts thereof; salicylic acid or salts thereof; 2,4-hexanoic acid (sorbic acid) or salts thereof; formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde; 2-hydroxybiphenyl ether or salts thereof; 2-zincsulphidopyridine N-oxide; inorganic sulphites, inorganic bisulphites; sodium iodate; chlorobutanol; 4-hydroxybenzoic acid or salts or esters thereof; dehydroacetic acid; formic acid; 1,6-bis(4-amidino-2-bromophenoxy)-n-hexane or salts thereof; sodium salt of ethylmercury-(II)-thiosalicylic acid; phenylmercury or salts thereof; 10-undecylenic acid or salts thereof; 5-amino-1,3-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-5-methylhexahydropyrimidine; 5-bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane; 2-bromo-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol; 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol; N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N′-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)urea; 4-chloro-m-cresol; 2,4,4′-trichloro-2′-hydroxy-diphenyl ether; 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol; 1,1′-methylene-bis(3-(1-hydroxymethyl-2,4-dioximidazolidin-5-yl)urea); poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride; 2-phenoxyethanol; hexamethylenetetramine; 1-(3-chloroallyl)-3,5,7-triaza-1-azoniaadamantane chloride; 1-(4-chloro-phenoxy)-1(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone; 1,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-2,4-imidazolidinedione; benzyl alcohol; piroctone olamine; 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane; 2,2′-methylene-bis(6-bromo-4-chloro-phenol); bromochlorophene; mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-3(2H)-isothiazolinone and 2-methyl-3(2H)isothiazolinone with magnesium chloride and/or magnesium nitrate; 2-benzyl-4-chlorophenol; 2-chloroacetamide; chlorhexidine; chlorhexidine acetate; chlorhexidine gluconate; chlorhexidine hydrochloride; 1-phenoxy-propan-2-ol; N-alkyl(C12-C22)trimethylammonium bromide and/or chloride; 4,4-dimethyl-1,3-oxazolidine; N-hydroxymethyl-N-(1,3-di(hydroxymethyl)-2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-yl)-N′-hydroxymethylurea; 1,6-bis(4-amidinophenoxy)-n-hexane or salts thereof; glutaraldehyde 5-ethyl-1-aza-3,7-dioxabicyclo(3.3.0)octane; 3-(4-chlorophenoxy)-1,2-propanediol; hyamine; alkyl(C8-C18)dimethylbenzylammonium chloride; alkyl(C8-C18)dimethylbenzylammonium bromide; alkyl(C8-C18)dimethylbenzylammonium saccharinate; benzylhemiformal; 3-iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate; or sodium ((hydroxymethyl)amino)acetate; and
wherein the at least one multifunctional comprises 1,2-propanediol; 1,3-propanediol; 1,2-butanediol; 1,3-butanediol (butylene glycol); 1,2-pentanediol; 1,2-hexanediol; 1,2-heptanediol; 1,2-octanediol; 1,2-nonanediol; 1,2-decanediol; glycerol; phenoxyethanol; ethylhexylglycerin; glyceryl caprylate; hydroxyacetophenone; methylbenzyl alcohol; o-cymen-5-ol; benzyl alcohol; tropolone; or mixtures of two or more of said multifunctionals; and optionally

(e) filtering the mixture to remove any final precipitation.
