Natamycin 50% in lactose is a standardized preparation containing 50% natamycin blended with a lactose carrier, specifically designed for dairy industry applications. The lactose carrier provides compatibility with dairy processing systems 및 ensures uniform distribution when applied to cheese surfaces or incorporated into dairy coatings. Natamycin's 항진균 mechanism targets ergosterol in fungal membranes.
This makes it ineffective against bacteria 및 thus preserving beneficial bacterial cultures in cheese 및 fermented dairy products. This dairy-compatible formulation allows cheesemakers to prevent surface mold growth without disrupting the ripening 및 aging processes that rely on bacterial activity. The product meets international food safety standards for use as a cheese surface treatment.
