Nisin Powder Supplier

• 

1.Target Microorganisms

• Pathogens:Listeria monocytogenes,Staphylococcus aureus,Clostridium botulinum.
• Spoilage bacteria:Bacillus cereus,Clostridium tyrobutyricum(common in dairy and canned foods).
• It has little to no effect on Gram-negative bacteria, molds, or yeasts. For broader protection, combine with other preservatives (e.g., EDTA to disrupt Gram-negative outer membranes, or sorbates for fungi).

2.Optimal Food Matrices

• Acidic to neutral foods(pH 2.0–6.0), where its stability and antibacterial activity are highest. Examples include dairy products (cheese, yogurt), processed meats (sausages, deli meats), canned vegetables, and beverages (fruit juices, beer).
• Low-fat or low-protein foods: High levels of fats, proteins, or minerals may bind to nisin, reducing its free concentration and efficacy. Adjust dosage in high-fat products (e.g., processed meats) accordingly.

3.Dosage and Regulatory Compliance

• Follow regional regulations: Maximum allowed levels vary by food type (e.g., 12.5 mg/kg in cheese, 30 mg/kg in canned vegetables in the EU; 250 ppm in processed cheeses in the U.S.).
• Typical effective doses: 100–500 IU/g (international units per gram), depending on the food and target bacteria. Excessive use is unnecessary and may increase the risk of bacterial resistance.

4.Processing and Stability

• Heat stability: Nisin retains activity after high-temperature processing (e.g., pasteurization at 72°C or sterilization at 121°C), making it suitable for shelf-stable foods like canned goods and bottled drinks.
• Avoid alkaline conditions: In pH > 7.0, nisin undergoes structural degradation, losing activity. Avoid use in highly alkaline foods (e.g., some legume-based products) unless microencapsulated for protection.

5.Synergistic Combinations

• Organic acids(lactic acid, citric acid): Lower pH to stabilize nisin and boost antibacterial effects.
• Chelating agents(EDTA): Disrupt Gram-negative bacteria’s outer membranes, extending nisin’s spectrum.
• Physical treatments(high-pressure processing, modified atmosphere packaging): Reduce bacterial load, allowing lower nisin doses.

6.Safety Considerations

• Nisin isGRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe)by the FDA and approved by FAO/WHO. It is digested into amino acids in the human gut, with no reported toxicity or residues.
• No known allergic reactions, making it suitable for sensitive populations (including infants, within regulated limits).

7.Handling and Storage

• Store nisin in a cool, dry place (below 25°C) to prevent degradation.
• Use formulations (e.g., powder, liquid concentrates) appropriate for the food production process to ensure uniform distribution.

8.Resistance Management

• Avoid overuse to prevent the development of nisin-resistant bacteria. Rotate with other preservatives or use in combination with non-chemical methods (e.g., hygiene practices, temperature control).
