Natamycin are effective anti-microbial agents. Using Natamycin as food preservatives can:
Enhance the quality of food product, and significantly extend the shelf life of foods by preventing yeast and mould
spoilage
Reduce product being recalled resulting from spoilage (and reduces manufacturing costs)
Replace or partial replace chemical preservatives and meet consumer demand for food preserved with natural
ingredients.
Have no adverse flavour to foods
Have stronger inhibitability compared to sorbic acid
Prevent formation of potentially carcinogenic mycotoxins
Cover a very broad spectrum of activity -- most yeasts and moulds are sensitive to very low levels of the preservative
(<1 - 20 ppm)
Do not act against bacteria .This makes it useful for food products such as cheese and dry sausages in which bacteria
are key to the ripening process
Remain on food surface for a long time where contamination usually occurs
Be proven to be a safe antimycotic agent.
