PURPOSE:The titled composition, obtained by blending water with a salt, e.g. NaCl, KCl, etc., and lysophosphatide in a specific proportion, having a wide antimicrobial spectrum, acting in a low concentration, having high safety and suitable for producing food, cosmetic, etc. CONSTITUTION:A bacteriostatic composition, obtained by containing water with 6-25wt% salt, particularly preferably an inorganic salt selected from the group of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium and lysophosphatide [preferably lysophosphatide (A) is substantially lyso phosphatidylcholine (monoacylphosphatidyl choline) in an amount of >=30wt% based on the total amount of the ingredients (A) and (B) and the residual ingredi ent is substantially diacylphosphatidyl choline (B)] in an amount of 0.01-30wt% and having surface activity. The composition is effective even if proteins, fats oil and salts coexist or pH fluctuates. |
