natural preservative Pimaricin Powder supplier


Product Overview:
Nattamycin, also known as pimaricin and swimmermycin, was first isolated from Streptomyces natalensis in 1955, and its activity is much better than sorbic acid.In June 1982, the US FDA formally approved that nattamycin can be used as a food preservative, and it is also categorised as one of the GRAS products. Nathamycin is a highly effective inhibitor of moulds, yeasts and fungi, used to inhibit moulds Chemicalbook, yeasts and fungi in food, very safe and reliable for human beings, and does not affect the flavour of the product, is widely used in the world for cheese, meat products, pastries, fruit juices and other foods. The product is refined from Streptomycesnatalensis by deep fermentation and multi-step extraction process, and its preparation is made by mixing 50% natamycin and 50% lactose.

Product Details
Pimaricin powder Usage and Synthesis.
Nathamycin is a "polyene macrolide" fungal inhibitor produced by the fermentation of Streptomyces natalis, and is currently the only internationally approved antifungal biofood preservative with high efficiency, broad-spectrum, safety and natural properties.
Natamycin relies on its lactone ring structure to interact with sterols on fungal cell membranes to form sterol compounds, thereby destroying the structure of the cytoplasmic membrane. The hydrophilic portion of the macrolide forms water pores in the membrane, impairing cell membrane permeability, which in turn causes the exudation of amino acids, electrolytes, and other substances from the fungus, and the death of the fungus.
Because, as a polyene antibiotic natamycin mechanism of action is to bind the sterols on the fungal cell membrane. The cell surface of animal organism lacks sterol, and it is not sensitive to polyene antibiotics. Therefore, natamycin is harmless to human body, and it is difficult to be absorbed by human digestive tract.
No mutagenic, carcinogenic and sensitising effects. It is a natural antifungal agent, possessing the characteristics of safety, high efficiency, natural and health.
Uses of Pimaricin.
Anti-mould agent. Good anti-mould effect when used on air-exposed food surfaces where moulds tend to proliferate. Used in fermented cheese to selectively inhibit mould proliferation and allow normal bacterial growth and metabolism.
An antifungal polyene antibiotic that inhibits fungal growth by specifically binding to ergosterol. Unlike mycobacteria and phlebotinum, natamycin does not alter the permeability of cell membranes.
How to Source and Use Pimaricin
-
Determine Suitability: Confirm that Natamycin is appropriate and approved for your specific application (food type, topical use, etc.).
-
Precise Dosing: Use micro-scale measurements. Effective concentrations are very low (e.g., 200-500 ppm for cheese surface treatment).
-
Proper Dispersion: It is not water-soluble. It must be uniformly dispersed or dissolved in an appropriate solvent (like propylene glycol) for application.
-
Consult Regulations: Adhere strictly to local (FDA, EFSA) and international regulations regarding its approved uses and maximum residual levels.
Primary Applications and Benefits
-
Food & Dairy Preservation (Primary Use): Natamycin is FDA-approved as a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) substance for surface treatment of cheeses (like Gouda, Cheddar) and sausages. A tiny amount prevents mold growth without affecting taste, texture, or beneficial bacteria (unlike some chemical preservatives).
-
Targeted Topical Applications: In pharmaceutical and wellness formulations, it is used in specific creams, ointments, and eye drops to treat fungal infections, such as those caused by Candida or Aspergillus species.
-
Agricultural & Post-Harvest Use: Used to prevent fungal rot on fruits and vegetables, extending shelf life naturally.
-
Natural and Effective: For consumers and producers seeking to minimize synthetic chemicals, it offers a powerful, naturally-derived alternative for anti-fungal protection.
