Function of Natamycin:
1. Effectively inhibits the proliferation of yeasts and molds;
2. Guarantees high safety standards with minimal application;
3. Easily applicable to food surfaces via spraying or dipping;
4. Demonstrates exceptional stability across a wide pH range, effective from pH 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In foods
For decades, Natamycin has been a fundamental component in the food industry, acting as a robust shield against fungal growth in dairy, extending the shelf-life of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
Employed in the medical arena to combat fungal infections, Natamycin proves effective against a wide range of fungi, including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A stalwart in the food industry for years, Natamycin provides a fresher alternative to conventional chemical preservatives, boasting a neutral flavor and effectiveness less dependent on pH levels. Its versatile application includes use as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping and in powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,expertly mixed or sprinkled into products.
