Specification

DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a utensil cleaner concentrate composition. Specifically, the present disclosure provides a utensil cleaner concentrate composition comprising a natural anti-microbial, a disinfectant, a thickening agent, a surfactant, and a moisturizing agent. The present disclosure further provides a process for preparing the utensil cleaner concentrate composition.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Dishes and utensils are a regular at all homes and at all times. Keeping the kitchen utensils and dishes clean does not just have an aesthetic appeal but is also an absolute essential for the overall health of the individual and family. Soiled utensils have oil and grime that need to be washed well. Unclean dishes and kitchen can also lead to growth of microbes like bacteria or fungus and may also harbor insects like cockroaches that feed on waste. For washing these dishes water may not be enough but a washing liquid combined with water would do the trick.
[0004] Traditionally, before the advent of modern detergent solutions, washing soda was used for washing utensils. Most of the cleaning compositions now known in the art have strong chemicals like corrosive acids, or strong lye. These chemicals are toxic and can be dangerous for the environment when released into water. They can leave residues/deposits on the utensils which are dangerous if consumed by humans. Dissolved mineral salts are known to leave streaking marks/spots on the utensils. Additionally, frequent exposure of the chemicals to human skin can also be harmful for the individual and therefore these chemicals must be non-reactive to human skin. While keeping in mind all these factors it is also simultaneously necessary that the chemicals must be effective in removing any microbes on kitchenware.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need in the art to look for compositions that are effective anti-microbials, cleansers and safe for human skin. The composition devised by the inventors of the present disclosure help overcome the drawbacks in the art.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

[0009] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a utensil cleaner concentrate composition free of harsh chemicals such as acids and lye.
[0010] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a process of preparing the utensil cleaner concentrate composition.

EXAMPLES
[0066] The disclosure will now be illustrated with working examples, which is intended to illustrate the working of disclosure and not intended to take restrictively to imply any limitations on the scope of the present disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice of the disclosed methods and compositions, the exemplary methods, devices and materials are described herein. It is to be understood that this disclosure is not limited to particular methods, and experimental conditions described, as such methods and conditions may vary.
Materials: All raw materials were in house (IH) grades and commercially purchased from third party manufacturers.
[0067] EXAMPLE 1
[0068] The concentrate composition was prepared as per proportions provided in Table No. 1 below. For pre-mixture A, HPMC was added in a clean and oven dried beaker, to which glycerol was added and mixed with a stirring rod or in a homogenizer till uniformity was achieved. TLS was added to this beaker and mixed with stirring rod/homogenizer till uniformity was achieved. For pre-mixture B, SLS, PVP-I, EDTA, coloring agent, neem and tulsi extracts were taken in another clean and oven-dried beaker and ground by crushing till uniformity was achieved. Pre-mixtures A and B were mixed together using a stirring road or homogenizer till uniformity was achieved. Fragrance and aloe vera gel were added and mixed to give the composition. The composition was kept tightly closed (avoiding air contact) at room temperature till further use.

EXAMPLE 2
Anti-microbial activity of the composition
[0070] The composition of Example 1 was tested for its anti-microbial activity by a time kill assay. The assay notes the changes in the microbial population within a specified time in presence of the composition. The time kill assays were performed on the ready-to-use formulation. The ready-to-use formulations were prepared after dilution of 25ml of the concentrate composition in 500 mL of water. The assays were performed as per the American Standard for Testing and Material protocol ASTM-E2315-16.
[0071] Method:
[0072] TEST PROCEDURE- The working cultures of the test organisms were prepared.10 mL of the sample was taken with respect to individual test culture.100 µL of adjusted test cultures were inoculated in individual samples prepared. A contact time of 20-60 seconds was considered. Using the pour plate technique 1 mL of the formulation was pipetted to triplicated petri dishes for each dilution prepared by serial dilution technique and then 20mL of melted SCDA was added. The petri dish was incubated at 30-35°C for 72 hours. The colonies on the petri dishes were counted with the help of colony counter after incubation and the observations were recorded in cfu (colony forming unit).
[0073] Note- The petri dish showing a number of colonies included in a 15-300 for bacterial and fungal of 15-150 range to be used to perform the result calculation.
LOG REDUCTION CALCULATION
[0074] The effectiveness of the disinfection procedure against each challenge organism was calculated for each product as a log10 reduction as follows:
Log10 Reduction per product = Log10 [Positive Control Count] – Log10 [Test Surface Count]
Note: The log reduction was rounded to the nearest 0.1 value.
[0075] For each product concentration and each experimental condition, calculated and recorded the decimal log reduction separately.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
[0076] In case of surface challenge test positive control should yield 50 to 200% recovery of the microorganism in comparison to inoculums added. Bactericidal, fungicidal or yeasticidal activity on surfaces for general purposes is characterized by the concentration of the tested product. Agents should demonstrate a 3 log reduction of vegetative test organisms and mold spores.
[0077] Results: The results of the test are provided in Table No. 3 below.
Table No. 3: Anti-microbial reduction assessed by time kill assay
S. No. Organism Contact time

[0078] Thus, the composition of the present disclosure provides quick action as the anti-microbial efficacy was about 99.99% within 20 seconds of use.
EXAMPLE 3
Disk-diffusion test
[0079] The disinfectant activity of povidone-iodine was significantly increased by neem and tulsi extract in the ready-to-use formulation in the specific weight percentage ranges. To study this, a disk diffusion test was performed on E. Coli using the composition of Example 1 and some comparative compositions as shown in Table No. 4 below.

Table No. 4: Disk-diffusion tests
S. No. Component Antimicrobial Inhibition Zone (cm) Cleansing Efficacy/5gm Sample/No. of plates
1. Povidone Iodine (0.002%) 2.7 5
2. Povidone Iodine (0.002%) + Neem Extract(0.002%) 3.5 7
3. Povidone Iodine(0.002%) + Tulsi Extract(0.002%) 2.8 7
4. Povidone Iodine(0.002%) + Neem Extract(0.002%) +Tulsi Extract(0.002%) 34.0 10

[0080] From the results, it can be noted that the combination of povidone iodine, neem extract and tulsi extracts mutually regulate the antimicrobial and cleansing activities of the composition, whereas no such change was noticed with either of the neem extracts or tulsi extracts alone.
[0081] From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that, although specific embodiments of the invention have been described herein merely for purposes of illustration, various modifications may be made without deviating from the spirit and scope of the invention and should not be construed so as to limit the scope of the invention or the appended claims in any way.
