Abstract
Germicidal iodine based compositions are disclosed that consist of iodide anions, a source of peroxide and peroxidase in combination with iodine sequestering agents. The compositions are formed in situ in an aqueous based medium by combining a peroxide source, iodine ions or source thereof, a peroxidase classified within Enzyme Commission identification No. E.C. 1.11.1.7 and an iodine sequestrant. The addition of a sequestrant before the equilibration of the enzymatic reaction formed by admixing the composition with an aqueous based medium, provides for a non-reactive enzymatic composition. The resulting composition having an increase of available iodine concentration compared to an identical composition without an iodine sequestrant.
