摘要：
The present disclosure encompasses compositions comprising a surfactant, and an acid such as, but not limited to, levulinic acid, that together have a synergistic effect in reducing the viability of a virus population compared to the efficacy of the individual compounds. This synergy allows the formulation of compositions where the active agents (including an acid and a surfactant) are present at concentrations effective to inactivate viruses on surfaces, including human skin. The viricidal compositions disclosed herein are efficacious without damaging the surface to which they may be applied, or even altering the organoleptic properties of a treated food substance. The viricidal compositions and wipes containing such compositions are suitable for sanitizing any surface suspected of having a viral load thereon, or where it is desirable to ensure that a viral load is as low as possible.
