It is well-known that an infinite loop space is an H-space whose multiplication enjoys nice properties concerning associativity and commutativity. A practical way of identifying infinite loop spaces is the utilization of May's recognition principle [3; 4]. To apply this principle, one requires an E∞-operad action on a space X; this action gives rise to various multiplications on X. In this note, it is shown that such multiplications enjoy an operad action up to homotopy that encodes the associativity and commutativity information, and that May's delooping theorem may be applied to them. We refer to [3] for the terminology of operads and monads.
