Food Preservative Food Grade Additives Natamycin - per kg

Natamycin, also known as hamamycin or pimaricin, is a polyene macrolide antifungal agent produced through fermentation by Streptomyces natalensis, Streptomyces chattanoogensis, and other Streptomyces species. It is currently the only internationally approved efficient and broad-spectrum antifungal bio-food preservative. Natamycin effectively inhibits the growth of molds and yeast, making it widely used in various food products.

Natamycin is exceptionally safe for human consumption and does not affect the flavor of the treated products. It has received approval from more than 40 countries and finds extensive applications in cheese, meat products, pastries, fruit juice, jelly, marinated products, and more.

In China, natamycin was approved for use as a food preservative in 1996. It is permitted in cheese, meat products, Cantonese-style moon cakes, pastry surfaces, fruit juice surfaces, and on surfaces of easily moldy food processing containers, with a residue limit not exceeding 10 mg.
