Natural Preservative Ingredients Nisin Powder for Fruit Juice Beverage
Products Description
What is Nisin?
Nisin (also known as Streptococcus lactic peptide) is a polypeptide, with 34 amino acid residues widely used as a food preservative. Nisin possesses anti-microbial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria and their spores in food, and inhibits the heat-resistant bacilli, such as B. Stearothermophilus, CI. Butyricum and L. Monocytogenes.
Nisin is not effective against Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts or mould. It is catabolized to amino acid in human body, so it is no harm or vice-effect to people.
Nisin is a natural food preservative which is highly efficient, safe. In addition, it has excellent solubility and stability in food.
Features
1. Strong inhibiting activities. Nisin specifically targets the stubborn Bacillus spp. and their spores.
2. High safety. Catabolized naturally into amino acids in the body.
3. Good stability. Nisin is stable in acid conditions and can keep active even at 121°C for 30mins.
4. Easy water soluble. Dissolves quickly and easily in aqueous formulations.
5. No flavor influence. Does not alter the original taste, smell or texture of the food or beverage.
