China Preservative Manufacturing Natamycin CAS No.:7681-93-8

This compound was first discovered in the 1950s, and since then, it has gained significant popularity due to its effectiveness in preventing spoilage caused by fungal contamination. Natamycin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by various regulatory authorities, including the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and the World Health Organization (WHO).

One of the key advantages of natamycin is its ability to target fungal organisms specifically, without affecting the taste, texture, or nutritional content of the food it preserves. It is also heat stable, which means it can withstand high temperatures during food processing.

Natamycin is most commonly used in the preservation of cheese, as it helps to extend the shelf life and maintain the product's quality by preventing the growth of unwanted molds and yeasts. It is particularly effective against species of molds that can grow on the surface of cheese, such as Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Fusarium.
