Function of Natamycin:
1. Expertly inhibits the growth of yeasts and molds, offering robust protection;
2. Guarantees high safety with minimal dosage requirements;
3. Convenient application through effortless spraying or dipping directly onto food surfaces;
4. Demonstrates remarkable stability across an extensive pH range, effective from pH 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In foods
For decades, Natamycin has been a pillar in the food industry. It serves as a formidable shield against fungal proliferation in dairy, effectively maintaining the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
Valued in the medical field for its antifungal prowess, Natamycin combats a wide array of fungi including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A luminary in the food preservation sector for years, Natamycin presents a fresher, neutral-flavor alternative to traditional chemical preservatives, demonstrating efficacy less reliant on pH levels. Its versatility shines through various applications: as a sprayable or dippable aqueous suspension, or as a powdered form enhanced with cellulose anti-caking agents,perfectly blended or sprinkled into products for consistent results.
