Epsiliseen™-D

Epsiliseen™-D has an active ingredient of ε-Polylysine (ε-poly-L-lysine), which is a small polypeptide of the essential amino acid L-lysine that is produced by bacterial fermentation; the natural fermentation is only observed in strains of bacteria in the genus Streptomyces.

ε-Polylysine is commercially used as a food preservative in Japan, the republic of Korea, USA and some more countries. Food products containing polylysine are mainly found in Japan. The use of polylysine is common in food applications like: boiled rice, cooked vegetables, soups, noodles and sliced fish (sushi).

Literature studies have reported an antimicrobial effect of ε-polylysine against yeast, fungi, gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, making it suitable for versatile applications in the food, feed, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.
