Properties
Natamycin is a white to yellow flavourless, odourless crystalline powder. It is very stable with its crystal form.
The solubility of Natamycin is very low in water and in most organic solvents. Only 50mg Natamycin can be
dissolved in pure water at room temperature. The low solubility makes it very suitable for use on the surface
of food. Natamycin will stay on surface of food, where most moulds and yeasts may grow, but does not influence
the natural course of fermentation inside.
Application
Food preservative
Ideal result can be achieved by using Natamycin on the exposed surface of the food where the moulds and yeasts may grow. This is especially useful for cheese manufacture, since the mould growth is prevented, while the cheese ripening bacteria will grow and metabolize normally. The product should be stored in dry, cool (not exceeding 15℃ ) places, in original sealed container, and prevent from direct sunlight.
Medicine Grade
Natamycin is used to treat fungal infections, including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium and Penicillium. It is applied topically as a cream, in eye drops, or (for oral infections) in a lozenge. Natamycin shows negligible absorption into the body when administered in these ways. When taken orally, little or none is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, making it inappropriate for systemic infections.
