Function of Natamycin:
1. Efficiently inhibits the growth of yeasts and molds, ensuring food safety;
2. Offers high safety with minimal dosage, making it ideal for food preservation;
3. Easily applied to food surfaces through spraying or dipping techniques;
4. Exhibits remarkable stability across a wide pH range, effective from pH 3 to 9, adapting to various food environments.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In foods
For decades, Natamycin has been a pivotal player in the food industry, serving as a formidable barrier against fungal growth in dairy products. It extends the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages, making it indispensable in food preservation.
2. In Medical
Employed in the medical sector to combat fungal infections, Natamycin is effective against a wide range of fungi, including harmful strains such as Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium, showcasing its versatility and strength.
As a longstanding luminary in the food industry, Natamycin provides a fresher and superior alternative to traditional chemical preservatives. With its neutral flavor and efficacy less dependent on pH levels, it offers versatile application methods: as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or as a powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,allowing for perfect mixing or sprinkling into products.
