Nisin (E234) is a natural protein (antibacterial substance) produced by a bacterium called Lactococcus lactis.
So it is not chemically synthetic, but a natural preservative obtained through fermentation.
It prevents the growth of harmful bacteria in foods
Thus:
- Delays product spoilage
- Extends shelf life
- Improves food safety
It is especially used in the following products:
- Cheese and dairy products
- Processed meat products
- Canned foods
- Beverages and sauces
It neutralizes bacteria by disrupting their cell structure.
It is particularly effective against gram-positive bacteria that spoil food.
E234 (nisin) is a naturally sourced preservative that helps foods stay unspoiled for a longer time.
