The objectives of this research were to evaluate in vitro effectiveness of the biocide benzalkonium chloride (BAC) and selected essential oils (EOs) as antifungal agents against fungi isolated from cultural heritage.n aqueous solution of the biocide benzalkonium chloride (BAC) (50% (vol/vol)) was obtained from the Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments in Serbia. Prior to experiment biocide was diluted in sterile distilled water to make a stock solution of final concentration 10% (vol/vol).
Benzalkonium Chloride is a member of the quaternary ammonium class of biocides, recognized for its dual biocidal and detergency properties. Its biocidal efficacy depends on it capacity to act as a cationic surfactant in binding to and disrupting cellular and intracellular membranes, and associated biochemical processes.est Answer: Benzalkonium chloride (alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride) is a mixture of alkylbenzyl dimethylammonium chlorides of various alkyl chain lengths.
