Nataseen™-H

Nataseen™-H has an active ingredient of Natamycin, also known as pimaricin. It is a fungicide of the polyenemacrolide group produced by natural strains of Streptomyces natalensis or of Streptococcus lactis, it is especially effective against yeasts and moulds.

Natamycin has been used for decades in the food industry as a hurdle to fungal outgrowth in dairy products, meats, and other foods. It has usually a very low solubility in water; however, it is effective at very low levels.

Potential advantages for the usage of Natamycin might include the replacement of traditional chemical preservatives, a neutral flavor impact, and less dependence on pH for efficacy, as is common with chemical preservatives. It may be applied by spraying a liquid suspension, by dipping the product in an aqueous suspension (known as a "brine"), or by mixing it into the product in a powdered form along with cellulose (a known "anti-caking" agent) on whole, shredded, or soft cheeses.

This product can be used in alcoholic beverages, baking, cheese, dairy products, and the culinary and meat industries.
