It is active against all yeasts and moulds and potent at extremely low concentrations, improves product quality and appearance and yields substantial savings during shelf-life without affecting colour, smell or taste.
As a food additive, it has E number E235.
Structural Unit and Molecular Structure
Natamycin, also known as pimaricin, is a naturally occurring antimicrobial agent produced biotechnologically by the bacterium Streptomyces natalensis.
Chemical Formula: C33H47NO13 ; Molecular weight: 665.75 g/mol
Manufacture and Quality Control of Natamycin
Streptomyces Natalensis - DEEP FERMENTATION - COMPLICATED EXTRACTING PROCESS -50% NATAMYCIN MIXED WITH LACTOSE, GLUCOSE OR SALT -CONTROLS ON THE FINAL PRODUCT-PACKING
Regarding Quality Control points during and after production of Natamycin, note that RADA brand Natamycin meets with FCC IV and USP, GMO-free and other international food additive standards. Products are produced in accordance with CGMP/HACCP /ISO requirements. We have the certification of ISO9001:2000, ISO22000 (HACCP), HALAL and KOSHER.
Properties and Application of Natamycin
Microbiologic Character: Generally speaking, Natamycin is effective enough to inhibit the growth of mould and yeast.
Solubility and stability:
- have low solubility in water, higher alcohols, ether and ester, slightly soluble in methanol, completely soluble in glacial acetic acid and dimethylsulfoxide
- sensitive to oxidant and prolonged ultraviolet radiation
- melting point 280oC(decomposed)
Antimicrobial property: Natamycin binds to and alters the fungal cell membrane so that vital structures inside the cell pass though the membrane and out of the cell. Without these structures, the fungal cells cannot survive.
Application:
Natamycin can be used for:
· Surface treatment for hard, semi-hard and semi-soft cheeses
· Surface treatment for dried, cured sausages
