ε-Polylysine

ε-Polylysine is a high-efficiency antimicrobial agent or preservative. It is produced from a fermentation process using Streptomyces albulus under aerobic conditions. It has obvious inhibition to gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria, yeast, mould, virus. In addition, it also has excellent safety, therefore it is widely used as an antistaling agent.

Currently, ε-Polylysine is widely used as food preservatives, such as: cake, pastry, snack foods, butter, salad, sauce, beverage, wine, meat product, can, etc. You may confect the ε-Polylysine with the food and mix fully or Spray ε-Polylysine directly onto the surface of food. Both of the methods are proved to have conspicuous antibiotic action and preservative effects in killing or inhibiting the pathogenic microorganism in food or on food surface.

1. Epsilon-Polylysine can greatly inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds bacteria, especially to the Gram- bacteria which can not easily inhibit by others.

2. As a good preservative, Epsilon-Polylysine is characterized as being high safety, water-soluble, stable at high temperatures, widely usage, non prejudice to the taste, antibacterial in neutral or subacidity conditions.

3. Because of the stability at high temperatures, it can inhibit some heat-resistant bacillus after heat treatment and some tadpole-form noncontractile siphovirus as well.

4. Epsilon-Polylysine can stop small intestine fat absorption through inhibiting pancreatic lipase activities, so it can be the diet therapy for obese patients.

5. Besides, Epsilon-Polylysine also can be used in cosmetics, disinfectant or cleaner for food machinery or hutch, etc.
