Natamycin in Glucose 25kg
Natamycin, a natural antifungal preservative mixed with glucose as a carrier, is used commercially to prevent mold and yeast growth on cheeses, sausages, and other dairy products, extending shelf life. It is also applied to the surface of baked goods like breads and used to preserve the quality of fruit juices, wines, and other ready-to-eat foods. The glucose carrier enhances its natural appeal and facilitates its use in “free-from” and minimally processed food formulations, as consumers shift towards recognizing and safer ingredients.
Natamycin in Glucose 25kg Specific Uses
Dairy Products: Applied to the surface of cheeses, yogurts, sour creams, and cottage cheeses to prevent fungal growth and mildew.
Baked Goods: Used on the surface of yeast-leavened and non-yeast-leavened baked products to delay mold growth and allow for normal commercial distribution.
Processed Meats: Used in the treatment of dried sausages to prevent mildew on the casing.
Beverages: Prevents mold and yeast growth in fruit juices and wine, extending their shelf life.
Ready-to-Eat Meals: Incorporated into various ready-to-eat foods, salad mixes, and sauces for preservation.
Why Glucose is Used
Natural Preservative Appeal: The use of glucose, a naturally accepted food ingredient, makes the natamycin formulation more attractive for natural preservation.
Regulatory Compliance: Glucose carriers have regulatory approval in various jurisdictions and are easy to label, supporting the trend toward naturally derived preservatives.
Consumer Preference: Aligns with the consumer demand for “free-from” products and ingredients that are perceived as natural and minimally processed.
How it Works
Natamycin acts as a surface treatment. It is applied as an aqueous solution or by soaking to prevent microbial growth.
Its effectiveness against mold and yeast, with no impact on flavor or texture, makes it a valuable preservative.
