Comparison to Sorbate

• Natamycin inhibits most yeasts and molds, including leuconostoc, aspergillus, fusarium, cephalosporium, penicillium, cryptococcosis and histoplasma capsulatum. These bacteria can be suppressed with a small dosage of 1-10 μg/ml.
• Natamycin is 50-100times the antibacterial efficacy of potassium sorbate.

Benefits

• Can inhibit almost all the molds and yeasts
• Very small dosage and high efficacy, 10-20 ppm natamycin can kill most of molds and yeasts in food
• Does not affect the natural fermentation inside the foods
• No side effects or cross-resistance

	MIC of Natamycin	MIC of Potassium Sorbate
Aspergillus niger	5	500
Fusarium	10	500
Penicillium	5	500
Rhizopus	5	500
Beer yeast	5	500
Saccharomyces cerevisia	1	500

 

• Natamycin is effective at pH 3-9, making it suitable for acidic, neutral and alkaline foods

Nataspen™ Highlights

• A High performance natamycin product, that is made through novle extraction, and purification process
• Performance increased from the size and shape of the natamycin new crystals
