Handary’s Chitoly® AB is an acid-soluble chitosan derived from the cell walls of Agaricus bisporus (common mushroom). This natural antimicrobial ingredient provides an effective solution for preventing microbial contamination and quality degradation in various food and beverage applications.

One of its primary uses is in alcoholic beverages, such as wine and beer, where it helps control spoilage microorganisms, ensuring product stability without affecting taste or aroma. Additionally, Chitoly® AB plays a crucial role in post-harvest fruit and vegetable preservation, reducing microbial growth and maintaining freshness for an extended period. With growing consumer demand for clean-label and natural food protection solutions, Chitoly® AB offers a sustainable and effective alternative to synthetic preservatives.

By integrating this innovative ingredient into production processes, manufacturers can enhance food safety, extend shelf life, and meet market expectations for healthier, minimally processed products.
