Function of Natamycin:
1. Powerfully inhibits the growth of yeasts and molds;
2. Guarantees high safety with minimal required dosage;
3. Easily applied to food surfaces through spraying or dipping methods;
4. Exceptionally stable across a wide pH range, demonstrating effectiveness from pH 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In foods
For decades, Natamycin has been an essential component in the food industry, acting as a robust barrier against fungal growth in dairy, prolonging the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
In the medical field, Natamycin is employed to combat a wide array of fungal infections, demonstrating efficacy against fungi such as Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A leader in the food industry for years, Natamycin provides a fresher alternative to traditional chemical preservatives. It features a neutral flavor and its effectiveness is less reliant on pH. Its versatility includes use as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,perfectly mixed or sprinkled into products for optimal results.
