- Product Highlights
- Nisin is a peptide produced by select strains of the bacterium Lactococcus lactis. As a highly-effective tool for suppressing the growth of Gram (+) bacteria (such as lactic acid bacteria, Bacillus, and Listeria), Nisin protects the safety, quality, and flavor of a wide variety of foods and beverages.
- Its potent nature means that Nisin can be used at very low dosages (in the part-per-million range), leaving it undetectable within the natural flavor profile of a food or beverage. Additionally, Nisin is water-soluble, effective across a wide range of pH’s, and is minimally-affected by most processing and storage temperatures used in the production and distribution of consumable goods today.
- This makes Nisin an ideal solution for meeting the needs of both the modern food and beverage manufacturer, as well as their label-conscious consumers.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Certifications & Compliance
- Non-GMO Status
- Nisin Preparation is produced through a natural fermentation process by microorganisms that are not genetically modified. In addition, care is taken to only use ingredients that are also free from genetically modified organisms. As such regulation (EC) No. 1829/2003 is not applicable, nor is there any labeling required as outlined in regulation (EC) No. 1829/2003 and 1830/2003.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Test Results
Clean-Label Control
Stable during most industry-standard heating cycles, Nisin can be added early in the production process and remains effective post-cook. As such, Nisin is perfectly suited for extending the shelf life of cooked foods, such as mashed potatoes, processed cheese, and refrigerated soups.
