Potential benefits
|
Natamycin are effective anti-microbial agents. Using Natamycin as food preservatives can: l Enhance the quality of food product, and significantly extend the shelf life of foods by preventing yeast and mould spoilage l Reduce product being recalled resulting from spoilage (and reduces manufacturing costs) l Replace or partial replace chemical preservatives and meet consumer demand for food preserved with natural ingredients. l Have no adverse flavour to foods l Have stronger inhibitability compared to sorbic acid l Prevent formation of potentially carcinogenic mycotoxins l Cover a very broad spectrum of activity -- most yeasts and moulds are sensitive to very low levels of the preservative (<1 - 20 ppm) l Do not act against bacteria. This makes it useful for food products such as cheese and dry sausages in which bacteria are key to the ripening process l Remain on food surface for a long time where contamination usually occurs l Be proven to be a safe antimycotic agent.
