Product Description

ε-Polylysine is a natural, biodegradable, and antimicrobial polyamine that is made from the polymerization of lysine monomers via the ε-amide linkage. It is mainly produced through microbial fermentation, utilizing bacteria such as Streptomyces albulus. ε-Polylysine is widely used as a natural preservative in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals due to its potent antifungal and antibacterial properties. It has become a popular choice for manufacturers looking for clean-label, non-toxic preservatives.

Key Features of ε-Polylysine

• Natural Source: ε-Polylysine is derived from natural microbial fermentation, making it an eco-friendly and non-synthetic option for preserving food and beverages.
• Antimicrobial: It is effective against a broad range of bacteria, fungi, and yeasts, making it an excellent choice for food preservation.
• Safe and Non-Toxic: It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and is used in various food and cosmetic products without any harmful effects.
• Biodegradable: ε-Polylysine breaks down naturally in the environment, which makes it a more sustainable option compared to synthetic preservatives.
