Nisin

• 

Nisin safety is a polycyclic antibacterial peptide produced by the bacterium Lactococcus lactis that is used as a food preservative. It is soluble in water and can be effective at levels nearing the parts-per-billion range.

Nisin is a rare example of a "broad-spectrum" bacteriocin effective against many gram-positive organisms. Therefore, it can act as food preservatives in thermal-treatment food products including various pasteurised dairy products, canned vegetables, hot baked flour products, etc.

Nisinis has been approved as a natural food preservative by more than 60 other countries. In April 1988, it was recognized as the Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Federal Register.

E234 nisin is composed of 34 amino acid residues. After eating, it is quickly hydrolyzed into amino acids under the physiological pH conditions of the human body and the action of α-chymotrypsin, which will not change the normal flora in the human intestines and produce resistance problems like other antibiotics, and will not interact with other antibiotics. This is a natural food preservative with high efficiency, non-toxicity, safety and no side effects.
