Appreciation is extended to Dr. John Finley, for his encouragement to pursue my doctoral degree. I am grateful to everyone with Bocage Crawfish, LLC for their cooperative efforts and supplying me with crawfish. I would also like to thank TIC Gums for providing me with polymers. My gratitude goes to my laboratory mates at LSU, both past and present, for their comradery. I would like to thank my mother, Wanda Scott, father, Greg Scott, and everyone else that supported me emotionally. I appreciate all of my physicians that have treated me throughout the past years in an effort to improve my quality of life. I cannot forget my cousin, Clarke, as it was my promise to her years ago that this moment would come to fruition. Most notably, I want to acknowledge my Karla Lynn Huxen, for her support. Despite her busy life, she made me a priority and I am forever indebted to her. v

I also want to acknowledge Dr. Jack Losso and Dr. Witoon Prinyawiwatkul for their assistance in my literature research and analysis. Thanks are also due to Dr. David Bankston and Dr. Lucina Lampila, members of my graduate committee, for their support and guidance. I must also thank Mr. Yves Methot with BIOSECUR LAB, Inc. for providing me with product samples and information. I could never forget to thank Ms. Terri Gilmer for all her support and encouragement during difficult times throughout my graduate studies. I also want to thank Dr. Reshani N. Senevirathne, Dr. Raviraj Jadeja, Dr. Shreya Datta, and Miguel Gutierrez. I wish to thank my family for their unconditional love. Thanks are also given to my oldest son's mother for her patience. Thanks are also due to my in-laws Mr. Joseph Threat and Mrs. Belinda Threat for their love and encouragement. Many thanks go to my sisters, brother, sister in-laws, brother in-laws, and cousins. I want to thank all my colleagues as well. Finally, my greatest acknowledgement goes to my wife, Tasha Tiarra Scott, for her patience, encouragement, companionship, understanding, and love. This scholarly accomplishment would not have occurred without her. iv

Four emulsions were produced: (1) a PRBO emulsion produced with ultrasonic processing (Emulsion I PRBO), (2) a BRBO emulsion produced with ultrasonic processing (Emulsion I BRBO), (3) Emulsion II PRBO produced from Emulsion I with an ultrashearing homogenizer and (4) Emulsion II BRBO produced from Emulsion I with an ultrashearing homogenizer. The emulsions were

Two concentrations, 0.5% and 2% of Biosecur ® surface cleaner were plated on Vibrio vulnificus Agar (VVA) and tested for reduction of Vibrio vulnificus. In order to investigate the lasting residual activity of Biosecur ® , antibacterial activity tests were also performed at time intervals up to 2.5 h after Biosecur ® was plated on VVA. Biosecur ® showed 6-log reduction of Vibrio vulnificus at 2%, and 3-log reduction of Vibrio vulnificus at 0.5%. The antibacterial activity of 2% Biosecur ® against Vibrio vulnificus was shown to be equivalent to that of tetracycline. The residual activity of 2% Biosecur ® was shown to maintain for at least 2.5 h after application. This study confirmed the high activity and long lasting residual effect of a safe, non-toxic organic food grade surface cleaner.
