Beijing Oriental Rada Biotech Polylysine is a natural substance from microbial metabolism. It is widely used as food preservative. It can inhibit the growth of Gram(+) and Gram(-) bacteria such as E. coli and Bacillus subtilis, yeast, lactic acid bacteria, Staphlacoccus aureus, ect..ε-Polylysine is produced by the aerobic fermentation of streptomyces albulus and followed with a series of filtration, extraction and purification processes.ε-Polylysine is slightly bitter, hygroscopic, light yellow power. It is soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol. The molecular of ε-Polylysine is a straight chain polymer of L-lysine. Its activity is not affected by pH, and stable when heated(120℃ for 20 min).
