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.
