Causes of antiseptic admixture deterioration?
Bactericidal preservatives are mainly used to ensure that materials do not deteriorate during use by killing bacteria or making them lose their ability to grow and reproduce. Bactericidal preservatives can denature proteins in microorganisms, reduce the activity of cells, promote the death of bacteria, and can also mutate the cellular genetic genes of microorganisms or interfere with the activity of enzymes inside cells to make it difficult to reproduce.
In the early stage of admixture deterioration, there will be fluffy or cotton-like patches on the liquid surface, which are mostly light red in color, and then slowly gather to form blocky flotsam, accompanied by string bubbles; In the worst-case scenario, the entire liquid surface will be covered in patches, and the solution will appear as a reddish brown, black, and dark green suspended matter, as well as emitting decaying acidic gas. This deterioration is mainly caused by mold.
The reason for this deterioration is that due to warmer weather, white sugar and sodium gluconate are added during the preparation process. Sodium gluconate and white sugar spoil easily in summer. In the production of sodium gluconate and white sugar, if the production process is not strict, a large number of microorganisms (glucose and Aspergillus Niger) will remain, and these microorganisms will produce a phenomenon of "exploding mold" at high temperatures, resulting in black water reducer and odor.
