Natamycin is a natural occurring anti-mycotic product which is classified as a polyene macrolide and can be produced through fermentation by Streptomyces spp. Natamycin not only broadly andhighly effectively inhibits the growth of various moulds and yeasts, but also inhibits the production of their toxins. It can be widely used in food preservation and as an anti-fungal treatment. Natamycin has no effect on bacteria, so it does not inhibit the natural maturing processes of yoghurt, cheese, fresh ham, sausage, etc.
Natamycin is a fungicide used to keep cheese from getting moldy. It works by making holes in the cell membranes of fungi, so their insides leak out. It is produced byStreptomyces natalensis bacteria.
It is applied to cut slices of cheese by dipping or spraying. In grated cheese, a dry mixture is used, usually with cellulose to prevent caking.
Some manufacturers use it in the wax coating on cheese rinds, instead of putting on the cheese itself.
