INTRODUCTION

Nisin is a natural polypeptide food preservative produced through fermentation by Lactococcus lactis. Nisin possesses high inhibiting activities to Gram-positive bacteria, particularly to spore-forming bacteria. Nisin is a natural food preservative which is highly efficient, safe and has no side-effects. Nisin was awarded the Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) designation in the U.S. Federal Register and is approved as a natural food preservative in the U.S., the FAO/WHO and the E.U.

APPLICATIONS

1.      Plant protein foods: Nisin can also be used in plant protein foods such as soya-bean milk, lactones bean curd, bean cheese, and peanut milk to extend their shelf life and improve their safety.

2.      Canned food: Adding 0.1g/kg nisin to canned food can prolong the food storage time to 2 years at blazing temperature. Moreover, its use in canned foods can also decrease the heat-treatment degree by 50%, which not only saves energy but also improves the nutritional value, appearance, and quality of the foods.

3.      Fruit juice drinks: The addition of 0.05-0.1g/kg nisin can prevent the growth and reproduction of survival alicyclobacillus spores and guarantee the quality of fruit juice drinks.

4.      Liquid egg and egg-contained products: Adding 0.05-0.1g/kg nisin to liquid egg or egg-contained products can effectively inhibit heat-resistant spores and prolong the shelf life from 7 days to over one month.

5.      Alcohol beverage: Nisin can not inhibit yeast and therefore is allowed to be used in the fermentation of alcohol beverages such as beer, fruit wine, and other wine products.

In conclusion, nisin is a versatile natural food preservative that can be used in a variety of applications to extend shelf life and improve food safety.
