Product name:

Natamycin

It is an efficient inhibitor of mold, yeast, and fungi used to inhibit mold, yeast, and fungi in food. It is very safe and reliable for the human body without affecting the flavor of the product.

This product is refined from streptomycin natalensis through deep fermentation and multi-step extraction process, and its preparation is mixed with 50% natamycin and 50% lactose.

Description

It is an almost white crystalline powder, odorless. It melts with decomposition at about 280°. It is practically insoluble in water, slightly soluble in methanol, and soluble in glacial acetic acid and in dimethylformamide.

Application

(1)It is harmless to the human body, is difficult to be absorbed by the human digestive tract, and is difficult for microorganisms to produce resistance. At the same time, because of its low solubility, it is usually used for surface anti-corrosion of food;

(2) It is used to treat fungal infections, including Candida, Aspergillus, Fusarium, etc., also used as eye drops or oral medications.
