Pioneering Functions of Natamycin:
1. Masterfully inhibits the proliferation of yeasts and molds, safeguarding food quality;
2. Guarantees high safety standards with the need for only minimal dosages;
3. Effortlessly applicable to food surfaces through convenient spraying or dipping methods;
4. Exceptionally stable across a wide pH spectrum, maintaining efficacy from pH 3 to 9.
Diverse Applications of Natamycin:
1. In Foods
For generations, Natamycin has stood as the backbone of food preservation, forming an impressive barrier against fungal growth in dairy, and lengthening the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages to unprecedented levels.
2. In Medical
In the medical arena, Natamycin is a trusted ally against fungal maladies, effectively combating a wide range of fungi including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A shining beacon in the food industry, Natamycin presents a fresher, more appealing alternative to traditional chemical preservatives, offering a neutral flavor profile and effectiveness that remains less dependent on pH levels. Its versatility shines through: available as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in a powdered form enhanced with cellulose anti-caking agents,ensuring seamless integration into various products either through mixing or sprinkling.
