Fungi in food products is a major challenge for global food manufacturers. Natamycin is allowed to be used worldwide as a very effective antifungal solution. Unlike most antimicrobial, Natamycin is effective at low concentrations and active over a wide pH range (3-9). Moreover, Natamycin is used at very low dosages (1-10 mg/kg), so the cost-in-use may be comparable to synthetic preservatives and significantly lower than other natural inhibitors. At Handary, natamycin is used as an active ingredient and we provide a broad range of products designed to meet specific application requirements.
