Product Introduction
What is Natamycin? |
Natamycin is essential food additive that could support the food industry. Natamycin, also known as natamycin, is a natural macrolide tetraene antifungal antibiotic with the molecular formula C33H47NO13. It is a white crystalline powder at room temperature, slightly soluble in water, and has increased solubility under alkaline conditions. It is non-toxic to bacteria and human cells, and only targets fungi. It is a natural antibacterial substance listed on the WHO Essential Medicines List, with EU Food Additive Number E235 and International Food Code Number INS235. Core mechanism of action: High affinity binding of ergosterol to fungal cell membrane leads to intracellular ion leakage, metabolic disorders, and ultimately fungal death; Due to the cholesterol content in the human cell membrane and the absence of ergosterol in bacteria, the safety is extremely high, and microorganisms almost do not develop drug resistance. The core applications of natamycin are mainly in food and medicine, with feed being an emerging field. |
