Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method and a composition for producing and using a plant-based biocidal solution. The plant-based biocidal solution contains a bioactive material and a plant-based substance formed from the cellular material of a plant. The plant-based substance is capable of binding to the bioactive material. In some embodiments, the bioactive material is hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide can be added exogenously or generated endogenously. In accordance with further embodiments, the plant-based biocidal solution can be applied to a target, thereby impairing the target. In some embodiments, the target can be a pathogen. In accordance with another embodiment, the plant-based substance of the plant-based biocidal solution can form a microscopic cluster, a complex, or an aggregate for providing sufficient bioactive material to overcome the defense mechanism of the target.

Claims (33)

1. A method of treating a subject for a bacteria-induced gastric disorder, the treating comprising administering an effective amount of a composition to the subject, the composition consisting of a product prepared by a process having the steps of:

combining green tea leaves with water and substantially inactivating hydrogen peroxide degrading enzymes endogenous to the green tea leaves using heat, to create a first mixture;

combining pomegranate husk with water and substantially inactivating hydrogen peroxide degrading enzymes endogenous to the pomegranate husk using heat, to create a second mixture;

combining the first mixture with the second mixture and

adding hydrogen peroxide;

wherein the antibacterial composition comprises a percentage of hydrogen peroxide selected from 0.05 to 3%, 1% or 0.02%.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 1% of hydrogen peroxide.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 0.05 to 3% of hydrogen peroxide.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 0.02% of hydrogen peroxide.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the composition comprises 1% of hydrogen peroxide.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is in dry form.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is a human.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is an animal.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bacteria-induced gastric disorder is a gastric infection.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the treating includes prophylactic prevention of a gastric infection.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administering includes orally administering drinking water to the subject.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the administering includes orally administering food to the subject.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bacteria-induced gastric disorder is gastroenteritis.

14. A method of treating a subject for a bacteria-induced gastric disorder, the treating comprising administering an effective amount of a composition to the subject, the composition consisting of a product prepared by a process having the steps of:

combining pomegranate husk with water and substantially inactivating hydrogen peroxide degrading enzymes endogenous to the pomegranate husk using heat, to create a mixture and adding hydrogen peroxide to the mixture;

wherein the antibacterial composition comprises a percentage of hydrogen peroxide selected from 0.05 to 3%, 1% or 0.02%.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the composition comprises 1% of hydrogen peroxide.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the composition comprises 0.05 to 3% of hydrogen peroxide.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the composition comprises 0.02% of hydrogen peroxide.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the composition comprises 1% of hydrogen peroxide.

19. The method of claim 14 , wherein the composition is in dry form.

20. The method of claim 14 , wherein the subject is a human.

21. The method of claim 14 , wherein the subject is an animal.

22. The method of claim 14 , wherein the bacteria-induced gastric disorder is a gastric infection.

23. The method of claim 14 , wherein the treating includes prophylactic prevention of a gastric infection.

24. The method of claim 14 , wherein the administering includes orally administering drinking water to the subject.

25. The method of claim 14 , wherein the administering includes orally administering food to the subject.

26. The method of claim 14 , wherein the bacteria-induced gastric disorder is gastroenteritis.
