Chlorine Dioxide (CLO2) as a Non-Toxic Antimicrobial Agent for Virus, Bacteria and Yeast (Candida Albicans)

ثبت نشده
چکیده

CLO2 is an inorganic compound composed of oxygen; chloride; potassium and gold. Compounds of oxygen and chloride are formed from two electronegative elements. This chemical property of CLO2 makes possible the release of nascent oxygen upon decomposition during its action as an anti-microbial agent. Certain aspects of the cellular immune system (specifically white blood cells) utilize other mechanisms in the generation of highly reactive oxygen derivatives (free radicals) for the purpose of combating the invasion of foreign organisms. Without these protective mechanisms provided by the immune system involving oxygen derivatives; the ability to fight infection is greatly impaired.

A Focus on Chlorine Dioxide: The Promising Food Preservative

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an unstable green-yellowish gas with an irritating odor [1]. In water, ClO2 exists as free radicals and as a powerful oxidizing agent, it reacts easily with reducing agents. The end products of ClO2 reactions are chloride (Cl-), chlorite (ClO-), and chlorate (ClO3) [2]. Chlorine dioxide is a promising food preservative as a substitute for chlorine (Cl2) because unlike...
