Citrusdefence®

100% natural antibacterial

CitrusDefence® is a completely organic biocidal product
that is hypoallergenic, a natural biocide and virucidal
​with a broad spectrum of sanitizing characteristics.


Based on principles of action well known to science, produced using cutting edge technology with pharma quality ingredients, cleverly proportioned and perfectly balanced, CitrusDefence® is the best safeguard against the spread of bacteria, fungi and viruses, using what nature has made easier ally to the human ingenuity.

CitrusDefence® is used for disinfection of surfaces, applications for which a series of tests at the Pasteur Institute of Lille, France, according to the European Suspension Test BS EN 1276 has been realized.

Food Chain

Maximize the safety of your food chain and reduce the costs of returning goods and stocks. CitrusDefence® misted on fruits and vegetables, or used in meat processing ensures a longer product life, a decline in the expiry date and better security throughout the food chain. CitrusDefence® and its derivatives have the potential to revolutionize the food industry because they can be used where many chemicals cannot or where pathogen mutation has created biocide resistance. It can also be combined with many ingredients to potentiate them i.e. production of a secondary range of non-direct food contact cleaner/sanitizers and terminal rinse sanitizers.
  
The CitrusDefence® Food Wash & Natural Preservative is derived from organic extracts and can be used as a processing aid for controlling contaminating micro-organisms in the food industry. It reduces the risk of food poisoning by eliminating pathogenic micro-organisms which then extend the shelf life and freshness of any fresh, raw, chilled and cooked foods, meats, poultry, fish and produce before packaging and distribution to retail outlets. CitrusDefence® will keep produce fresh for up to 2-3 times longer than conventional methods resulting in very high reductions in spoilage. CitrusDefence® Biocide provides an alternative for the nutritionist from traditional products that have created resistance to pathogenic attack. 

In addition to the normal sanitizing action, CitrusDefence® Biocide also acts as a gastro productivity maximizer in chicken, swine and fish, eliminating pathogenic micro-organisms (Salmonella, E. Coli, Aspergillus Fusarium, etc.) in the intestinal track i.e. its function is to protect the animal, not the feed.
​

CitrusDefence® can also be used in the development of functional foods, particularly in the field of oral hygiene, such as gums and functional confectionery.

About CitrusDefence®

Photo
CitrusDefence® is extracted from the pith of oranges through a specialized process. The extract contains a mixture of natural ingredients that, when combined, produce an extremely powerful anti-bacterial, anti-mould and anti-fungal agent. 
The extract consists of Vitamin C, Vitamin P (Bioflavonoid), Natural Sugars, and various organic acids, (Ascorbic acid, Citric acid). 
This powerful, anti-bacterial/virocidal agent is mixed with other food grade, natural and safe products to produce CitrusDefence®. 
One of the additives in CitrusDefence® is Yucca Schidegra which helps CitrusDefence® break down Biofilms that cling to surfaces and house large quantities of bacteria. Bacteria attached to Biofilms are 150-3000 times more resistant to chlorine than unattached cells. 
Yucca Schidegra helps break down the Biofilm and the powerful anti-bacterial components of CitrusDefence® destroy the bacteria present. The CitrusDefence® residual keeps working for up to 48 hours and more. 
Yucca Schidegra breaks down biofilms and the powerful anti-bacterial components of CitrusDefence® destroy the bacteria present and the CitrusDefence® residual keeps working for up to 48 hours and more. 
CitrusDefence® is not a poison like chlorine. It does not poison the bacteria.
When exposed to CitrusDefence®, bacteria experience membrane changes or damaging due to penetration of the cell wall of the bacteria. It is this mechanism that is responsible for killing the bacteria and reducing growth, hence creating a sanitizing effect and at the same time prolonging the lifespan of fresh products.
