Patent ID: 8063008

Claim:
A multifunctional disinfectant composition comprising the concentrated peracid solution produced by a process comprising: a) providing a set of peracid reaction components, said components comprising: 1) at least one substrate selected from the group consisting of: i) esters having the structure wherein R 1 =C1 to C10 straight chain or branched chain alkyl optionally substituted with an hydroxyl or a C1 to C4 alkoxy group and R 2 =C1 to C10 straight chain or branched chain alkyl group, (CH 2 CH 2 —O) n H or (CH 2 CH(CH 3 )—O) n H and n=1 to 10; ii) glycerides having the structure wherein R 1 =C1 to C10 straight chain or branched chain alkyl optionally substituted with an hydroxyl or a C1 to C4 alkoxy group and R 3 and R 4 are individually H or R 1 C(O); and iii) amides having the structure: wherein R 5 and R 6 are individually H or a C1 to C5 straight chain or branched alkyl group; 2) a source of peroxygen that provides a concentration of at least 500 mM hydrogen peroxide upon combining said reaction components; and 3) at least one enzyme catalyst having perhydrolase activity, wherein said enzyme catalyst is selected from the group consisting of lipases, esterases, proteases, and mixtures thereof; and b) combining said reaction components at a pH of about 2.5 to about 7.5, whereby a concentrated peracid solution is produced within at least about 5 minutes to about 2 hours after combining said reaction components; wherein said composition is suitable for prion degradation, use as a biocide, use as a virucide, or combinations thereof.
