Nisin

Nisin is a polypeptide produced by Lactococcus lactis and can be safely used in all food products.

The use of Nisin will not affect the normal bacterial community, nor produce drug resistance orchiasmatic resistance as it happened when the antibiotics were used.

Nisin is a non-poisonous and highly efficacious food preservative/ anti-microbial agent.

It possesses anti-microbial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria, particularly those that produce spores, which are the major food spoilage organisms, such as Clostridium botulinum, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus hemolyticus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bacillus subtilis and more.

The use of Nisin, as a food preservative, can greatly decrease the required temperature and shorten the time in food heat processing, which could not only improve the nutritional value, appearance, flavour, and texture of foods, significantly prolong the shelf-life, but also save energy greatly and lower the product cost.

Now, Nisin has been used in a wide range of processed foods, e.g., cured meat, dairy products, plant protein foods, canned foods, and heat-treated/air-tightly packed foods, it can also be used in the area of cosmetics, medicines, and health products.

Natamycin

Natamycin (sometimes called pimaricin) is a safe-to-consume polyene macrolide antifungal agent produced by streptomyces natalensis.

It is the sole antifungal food bio-preservative approved in the world, which inhibits the growth of moulds and yeasts broadly and high-effectively and is safe for the human body.

Using natamycin does not change the nutritional value, appearance, flavour, and texture of foods.

Natamycin is an approved food preservative by Australian regulators and is applied across the dairy/cheese, meat, baking, condiments/sauce food industries as well as many others!

Introducing Lysozyme – the Latest Natural Preservative in Our Range

Lysozyme is a naturally occurring enzyme renowned for its powerful antimicrobial properties and clean-label appeal.
