Quaternary ammonium compounds, also known as quats, are cationic detergents that consist of four organic groups attached to a nitrogen atom. They have antimicrobial properties and are commonly used as sanitizers for utensils and other surfaces in food handling and processing facilities. Propionic acid, methylene blue, and ethylene oxide are not cationic detergents and are not commonly used for sanitization purposes.
