Natamycin is a natural broad-spectrum antifungal bio-preservative fermented from Streptomyces natalensis. It hardly gets absorbed by human bodies and boasts outstanding safety performance. It powerfully inhibits molds and yeasts with little effect on bacteria, widely used to stop food mold spoilage across dairy, bakery and meat industries.
Strongly inhibits various molds and yeasts to prevent food mold growth and gas-induced deterioration.
Hardly absorbed by the human body and excreted directly through intestines, complying with food additive standards of many countries worldwide.
Much smaller addition amount is needed for mold prevention compared with synthetic preservatives, keeping costs manageable.

Natamycin is a natural antifungal bio-preservative produced through the fermentation of Streptomyces natalensis. It selectively inhibits yeasts and molds without affecting bacteria, preventing surface spoilages across dairy, bakery, and cured meats.
Unlike synthetic additives like potassium sorbate or sodium benzoate, Natamycin is natural, effective at much lower concentrations, and operates without imparting unwanted taste, odor, or chemical residues to the end product.
No. Due to its targeted activity and exceptionally low dosage requirements, Natamycin preserves food without affecting the natural flavor, appearance, aroma, or texture.
Shineherb biotech maintains ready stock of both 50% and 95% active content specifications, suitable for dipping, spraying, or direct surface formulation in food applications.
Yes. Complimentary test samples along with comprehensive technical and quality documentation (including COA and MSDS) are available upon request for quality verification and batch evaluation.
Natamycin should be stored in tightly sealed original containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, excess heat, and strong light exposure to retain maximum antifungal potency.
