Natamycin

What Is Natamycin?

Natamycin, also known as pimaricin, is a polyene macrolide antibiotic produced by fermentation of certain type of the bacterium Streptomyces. The natacyn was discovered in 1955 and approved for medical use in the United States in 1978. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.

Natamycin preservative has been used for decades in the food industry as a hurdle to fungal outgrowth in dairy products and other foods. The activity of natamycin e235 against yeasts and moulds, but not bacteria, makes it convenient for uses in foods that undergo a ripening period after processing. Its low solubility in water and most organic solvents makes it suitable for the surface treatment of foods.

Natamycin Uses
Natamycin can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of various molds and yeasts, but has no inhibitory effect on bacteria. It is often used to kill yeasts and molds on the surface of natural fermented products such as yogurt, cheese, ham, and sausages, thereby extending the shelf life. It is used medically as an anti-fungal eye infection.

How does Natamycin Work?
Natamycin inhibits the growth of yeasts and molds and prevents them from producing toxins, but has no effect on bacteria because their membranes lack sterols. The mechanism of action is to combine with the sterols (mainly ergosterol) in the fungal cell membrane, rather than making the membrane permeable. This is the functional mechanism of the chemical synthesis of preservatives sorbate and benzoate.
