Abstract

A device for cleaning and sanitizing a food reservoir. The device includes two parts. The first part contains at least one or more enzymes and the second part contains one or more antimicrobial agents. The second part is isolated from the first part by a degradable barrier that is solid and stable under storage conditions but is adapted to decompose upon exposure to the aqueous conditions used for cleaning.
