Cinnamaldehyde: Clear "time **" on the keyboard

The British "Daily Mail" reported that a survey of 12 cities by the University of London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine showed that 1/6 of all mobile phones used by people contain E. coli! The bacteria can live on the surface of hands or objects for several hours. If they are infected, they may cause symptoms of digestive tract discomfort. In severe cases, they may also cause poisoning or death. In May this year, the widespread outbreak in Europe caused dozens of deaths and E. coli is behind this tragedy.

Coincidentally, the British Royal Society of Chemistry has also said that: E. coli and other harmful bacteria on the computer keyboard is more than five times the toilet washer! Bacteria-filled keyboards have become the most direct killer of office health today.

A survey of medical experts found that the main bacteria present on cell phones and computer keyboards are not only E. coli, but also streptococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Chlamydia trachomatis, etc., which easily cause purulent inflammation, scarlet fever, meningitis , trachoma, genitourinary tract infections, pneumonia, pseudomembranous colitis, and even sepsis, sepsis. For this reason, how to effectively eliminate these “timings” on the keyboard has become an important hot topic in the field of disinfecting fluids worldwide.

Professor Zhang Wenjuan, Department of Dermatology, People’s Hospital of Beijing Medical University studied the effects of cinnamaldehyde on pathogenic fungi, and found that cinnamaldehyde has a significant killing effect on bacteria such as E. coli, Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus , Streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pneumococcus and other significant inhibition. Its MIC is 0.0625-1mg/ml, MFC is 0.125-5mg/ml, and the bactericidal effect is most significant. Simultaneously, cinnamaldehyde does not contain benzene rings and other heterocyclic genes, and it is non-toxic, and because of the special sterilizing mechanism of penetrating into the cell membrane of the bacteria, it is impossible for various types of bacteria to produce drug resistance.

It is reported that some companies have sniffed business opportunities from Professor Zhang's research results and set out to develop a keyboard disinfection germicide using cinnamaldehyde as the main raw material. The agent can be wiped or sprayed to remove various germs on the keyboard and is not corrosive to the article.

Cinnamaldehyde is a colorless or light yellow liquid with the aroma of cinnamon oil and cinnamon oil. It is mostly used for the antiseptic and sterilizing of foods and edible essences. It is completely harmless to the human body.
