What Is BioSAFE
• Key component in the “Antimicrobial
Intervention Program”.
• Commonly known as stabilised
chlorine dioxide.
• Broad spectrum biocide.
• Has the ability to destroy certain
odours.
• Flexible and versatile product that can
be tailored to meet customers needs.
BioSAFE is
• A Bactericide
• A Fungicide
• An Algicide
• A Viricide
• A Sporicide
• And will remove Biofilm
Antimicrobial Intervention
Program is:
• A program to improve the product viability
during processing and packaging.
• Forming stratigic alliances and working as
partners in business with the right
businesses to improve product quality and
extend shelf life opening the doors for
value adding and interstate and export
opportunities.
Antimicrobial Intervention
Program
• The Antimicrobial Intervention Program
can be implemented into individual
processes, or across fully integrated
chain management systems.
Such as using BioSAFE from post
harvest, through processing and with
Charles Gabb & Co’s “Lo Bac” Trade
Mark antimicrobial packaging.
Antimicrobial Intervention
Program
• BioSAFE is able to replace a number of
alternative chemicals with one single
solution.
• BioSAFE is the ideal product for an
antimicrobial intervention program due
to its flexibility and versatility.
• The aim of the program is to improve
the biosecurity of a process therefore
reducing product losses and the risk of
human illness.
BioSAFE
Stabilised Chlorine Dioxide
• Stable product that is a precursor for
the formation of chlorine dioxide and
chlorous acid.
• Colourless liquid with slight chlorinous
smell at high concentrations.
• To release chlorine dioxide, the
product is “activated” by lowering the
ph with the use of suitable acids.
• Products of activation are acid and ph
dependent.
BioSAFE (Chlorine Dioxide)
holds the following approvals.
• All BioSAFE products are manufactured under and
•
•
•
comply with the requirements of: AS/NZS ISO
9001:2000 Quality management systemsRequirements.
BioSAFE 5 holds AQIS approval IOA No 8774
BioSAFE is approved by ANZFA Food Standards
Code Chapter 1. Standard 1.3.3. Clause 11 & 12.
BioSAFE is also covered by the Export Control
(Processed Foods) Orders. Schedule 4.1.1.
BioSAFE (Chlorine Dioxide)
• Also is covered by many world wide approvals,
•

including USDA, FDA, EPA, Organic and even
Kosher.
Approvals for use include:
Approval for bacterial and mould control in federally inspected
processing plants for environmental surfaces.
Approval as a terminal sanitizing rinse not requiring a water flush on
all food surfaces found in food plants
ETC. ETC. Research conducted in various countries
prove ingredients in BioSAFE to be the most
potent and effective germicide available today
BioSAFE
(Chlorine Dioxide)
• Will reduce overall chemical costs.
• Is environmentally friendly and less corrosive
•
•
•
than chlorine at use rates.
Is approved for HACPP controls (Salmonella,
Listeria, E.Coli, Crypto and Giardia etc).
Is currently used to disinfect against Anthrax, in
poultry water for New Castle Disease and will kill
the Aids and Herpes virus.
It also eliminates Fungi like Candida, Mucor,
Trichophyton, Fusarium, Aspergillus and many
more.
• The American society of Analytical
chemists stated that chlorine Dioxide
is the most powerful anti microbial
agent known to man.
• The potential of stabilised chlorine
dioxide has still not been fully
appreciated.
• Research is continuing into the
applications and efficacy of both
chlorine dioxide and chlorous acid in
various markets.
• New innovative methods for applying
stabilised chlorine dioxide are being
developed.

BioSAFE Composition
• BioSAFE is a complex mixture of
oxychlorine species.
• Product contains stabilisers and buffers.
• BioSAFE is a precursor for generating
chlorine dioxide and chlorous acid.
• BioSAFE 5 (30,000 ppm available chlorine
dioxide) is classed as Non Dangerous
Goods
Any Questions
before we proceed
Mode of Action
for
BioSAFE.
Mode of Action
• BioSAFE as a Biocide
• BioSAFE and Biofilms
• Odour Control
• Pollutant oxidiser
• Comparison of common biocides
• Improving the efficiency of BioSAFE.
BioSAFE as a Biocide
• Activated BioSAFE is an efficient
biocide.
• Capable of controlling and reducing all
types of micro-organisms including;
• Bacteria
• Fungi
• Virus
• Protozoa
• Algae
• Capable of controlling and reducing
spore forming micro-organisms.
BioSAFE and Biofilms
• BioSAFE is able to penetrate biofilms and
destroy them.
• Many disinfecting chemicals are unable to
destroy biofilms.
• It is believed chlorine dioxide is able to
penetrate the slime layer as it exists as a
gas in water.
Biocide Comparison
• Chlorine Dioxide (BioSAFE)
– Advantages
• Broad spectrum efficacy with bacteria, fungi and viruses.
• Micro-organisms cannot build a resistance to BioSAFE
• Performs over a broad pH range (4 to 10)
• Good selectivity with minimal reactions with organic matter.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Works well in contaminated systems.
No THMs (trihalomethanes) formed
Low corrosivity at normal concentrations
Effective against spores
Destroys biofilms
Low contact time of seconds to minutes
Product is biodegradable
No rinse sanitiser in the food industry
Efficiency Improvements Cont..
• Do you know what micro-organisms you are
•
•
•
•
wanting to treat.
Do you know what contact time is available
as this will determine what concentrations
are required.
Understand the process first before deciding
on the required acid for activation.
Short contact times may lead to higher
concentrations using hydrochloric acid
Long contact times with residuals may lead
to low concentrations with citric acid.
Questions
Activation
• Two methods of activation
• Manually
• Automatically
• Both methods involve the addition of the
appropriate acid at the required rate.
• Method of activation will depend on a
number of factors;
• Type of acid selected for activation
• The amount of chlorous acid/chlorine dioxide
required.
• The type of process i.e.. Is continuous
injection required or batch dosing.
• The availability of trained personnel for
manually activating.
Activation
• Manual Activation
–
–
–
–
Suitable for small operations
For customers requiring no capital outlay
For conducting trials
Suitable for processes that require a one off
treatment.
– Suitable for both citric acid and phosphoric acid
activations. Not recommended for hydrochloric
activations.
– Customer has available personnel to manually
activate product in ventilated area.
Activation
• Automatic
– Automatic activation includes dosing and delivery
equipment
– Suitable for large users
– Automatic activation and dosing units can be
controlled by online measurement.
– Suitable for all acids (liquid citric, phosphoric and
hydrochloric).
– Required for hydrochloric activation.
– Ideal for continuous injection processes that
must maintain residuals.
– Automatic activation equipment varies in size
and capacity.
Activation
• Inline injection
system for
BioSAFE.
Stabilised Chlorine Dioxide
Language
• Concentration of available chlorine dioxide
•
•
•
is expressed as ppm (parts per million).
Available chlorine dioxide is the amount of
chlorine dioxide that would be formed if
using hydrochloric acid to activate.
Free chlorine dioxide refers to the amount
of chlorine dioxide actually formed in the
reaction in terms of concentration (ppm)
Residual chlorine dioxide is the amount of
free chlorine dioxide remaining after the
process.
Stabilised Chlorine Dioxide
Language
• Citric Acid
– 1,000ppm available chlorine dioxide activated
with citric acid will provide approximately
250ppm free chlorine dioxide.
• Phosphoric Acid
– 1,000ppm available chlorine dioxide activated
with phosphoric acid will provide approximately
400ppm free chlorine dioxide
• Hydrochloric Acid
– 1,000ppm available chlorine dioxide activated
with hydrochloric acid will provide approximately
1,000ppm free chlorine dioxide.
Tests carried out by a NATA
accredited micro laboratory have
shown BioSAFE to achieve:
• Up to 6 log reductions on SPC across
various products.
• Shelf life extension. eg.Enableing fruit
salad supplier to obtain interstate business
• The benefits of fogging processing and
refrigeration areas.
