Natamycin: a natural preservative for food applications—a review

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Natamycin is a natural antimicrobial peptideproduced by the strains of Streptomyces natalensis. Iteffectively acts as an antifungal preservative on variousfood products like yogurt, khoa, sausages, juices, wines,etc. Additionally, it has been used as a bio preservative andis listed as generally recognized as a safe ingredient forvarious food applications. In this review, natamycin properties,production methods, toxicity, and application as anatural preservative in different foods are emphasized. Thisreview also focuses on optimal condition and processcontrol required in natamycin production. The mode ofaction and inhibitory effect of natamycin on yeast andmolds inhibition and its formulation and dosage to preservevarious food products, coating, and hurdle applications aresummarized. Understanding the scientific factors in natamycin’sproduction process, its toxicity, and its efficiencyas a preservative will open its practical application invarious food products.
