FUNCTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF E 235 NATAMYCIN:
E 235 Natamycin is used as a preservative mainly against fungi.
E 235 NATAMYCIN VS SORBATES AND BENZOATES;
E 235 Natamycin the low solubility of natamycin is an advantage for the surface treatment of food as it will stay on the surface of the food where most molds and yeasts may grow thus preventing their growth.
E 235 Natamycin in contrast, the artificial preservatives, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate are water-soluble and can be penetrated into food, thus making its concentration at the surface going down and therefore mold will grow.
E 235 Natamycin a news in 2014 reported that Kraft was replacing sorbic acid by the natural mold inhibitor – natamycin in wrapped cheese slices.

HOW IS E 235 NATAMYCIN MADE?
E 235 Natamycin is a natural antimycotic ingredient produced by controlled fermentation of Streptomyces natalensis (commonly found in soil) and other relevant species and then through the manufacturing process of extraction, crystallization and drying process.
HOW DOES E 235 NATAMYCIN WORK?
E 235 Natamycin inhibits the growth of yeast and mold, also prevents the production of their toxins, but has no effect on bacteria as their membrane lacks sterols.
E 235 Natamycin’s mechanism of action is binding to sterols (principally ergosterol) in the fungal cell membrane instead of permeabilizing the membrane, which is the functional mechanism of chemical synthesized preservatives – sorbates and benzoates.
FOODS TO WHICH E 235 NATAMYCIN CAN BE ADDED:
E 235 Natamycin is used in permitted finished products, taking into account the relevant limitations, in accordance with the regulations in the Turkish Food Codex Regulation on Food Additives and vertical communiqués.
E 235 Natamycin when the necessary information cannot be obtained in the regulations and communiqués, the regulatory authorities of the relevant country can be consulted.
HISTORY OF E 235 NATAMYCIN:
E 235 Natamycin was first isolated in 1955 from fermentation broth of a Streptomyces natalensis cell culture.[20]
E 235 Natamycin was originally named pimaricin to honor Pietermaritzburg, where Streptomyces natalensis was acquired.
E 235 Natamycin was later renamed after the World Health Organization (WHO) mandated that antibiotics produced by Streptomyces end in –mycin.
E 235 Natamycin was chosen in reference to the natalensis species name.
MECHANISM OF ACTION OF E 235 NATAMYCIN:
E 235 Natamycin inhibits the growth of fungi by specifically binding to ergosterol present in fungal cell membranes.
E 235 Natamycin inhibits amino acid and glucose transport proteins leading to a loss of nutrient transport across the plasma membrane.
E 235 Natamycin binding is reversible, ergosterol binding acts as a universal mechanism of fungal inhibition, allowing natamycin to act on diverse fungal pathogens from Saccharomyces yeast to Aspergillus moulds.
E 235 Natamycin is unique amongst related antifungals specifically because it does not directly cause membrane permeabilization.
E 235 Natamycin has very low solubility in water; however, natamycin is effective at very low levels.
E 235 Natamycin's minimum inhibitory concentration is less than 10 ppm for most molds.
BIOCHEMISTRY OF E 235 NATAMYCIN:
E 235 Natamycin is produced as a secondary metabolite by some Streptomyces species: S. natalensis, S. lydicus, S. chattanoogensis and S. gilvosporeus.
E 235 Natamycin structurally has a core that is a macrolide containing a polyene segment, with carboxylic acid and mycosamine groups attached.
E 235 Natamycin biosynthesis begins with a series of polyketide synthase modules, followed by additional enzymatic processes for oxidation and attachment of the substituents.
E 235 Natamycin is produced on an industrial scale by fermentation of various Streptomyces strains, including S. chattanoogensis L10.
ADVANTAGE OF E 235 NATAMYCIN:
E 235 Natamycin effectively inhibits various molds and yeasts, and also the formation of fungal toxins.
E 235 Natamycin is one of the most potent antifungal preservatives.
E 235 Natamycin has no influence on the natural fermentation of yogurt, cheese, raw ham, dry sausage, etc.
E 235 Natamycin has low solubility in water and in most organic solvents.
E 235 Natamycin works well on the surfaces of food.
E 235 Natamycin has a wide pH range: 3-9.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF E 235 NATAMYCIN:
As a safe E 235 food additive, E 235 Natamycin is produced by the controlled fermentation of Streptomyces Natalensis.
MECHANISM OF ACTION OF E 235 NATAMYCIN:
E 235 Natamycin is a Polyene macrolides structure.
E 235 Natamycin relies on its lactone ring structure and can combine with sterol compounds on the fungal cell membrane to form antibiotic-sterol compounds, that can destroy the structure of the fungal cytoplasmic membrane.
The macrolide hydrophilic part (polyol part) of E 235 Natamycin can damage cell membrane permeability by forming water holes in the membrane, which then causes amino acids, electrolytes, and other substances to leak out and finally causes fungal cell death.
E 235 Natamycin has no effect on microorganisms that have no sterols on the cell membrane, and therefore E 235 Natamycin can only inhibit fungi and cannot have antibacterial activity against bacteria and viruses.
BENEFITS OF E 235 NATAMYCIN:
E 235 Natamycin is effective against a broad list of mold, fungi, and yeasts that prevents all food deterioration caused by these strains.
E 235 Natamycin prevents the formation of toxic mycotoxins.
E 235 Natamycin improves the shelf life of food products.
E 235 Natamycin has no effect on desirable culture activity in fermented products.
E 235 Natamycin does not affect the appearance, flavor, aroma, or color of food products.
PROPERTIES OF E 235 NATAMYCIN:
E 235 Natamycin is a white to yellow flavorless, odorless crystalline powder.
E 235 Natamycin is stable with its crystal form.
E 235 Natamycin solubility is very low in water and in most organic solvents.
Only 50mg E 235 Natamycin can be dissolved in pure water at room temperature.
The low solubility in water makes E 235 Natamycin very suitable for use on the surface of food.
E 235 Natamycin will stay on the surface of food, where most molds and yeasts may grow, but does not influence the natural course of fermentation inside.
E 235 Natamycin is stable at a wide pH range (3-9).
As most foods have a pH value between pH 4 and pH 7, making E 235 Natamycin a very versatile food preservative that prevents yeasts and moulds from appearing in foods.
E 235 Natamycin works at low dosages between 3-20 ppm, which is less than other food preservatives like potassium sorbate, and unlike other sorbates, E 235 Natamycin prevents yeasts and moulds from migrating into the product, eliminating the cost of reapplication.
In addition:
E 235 Natamycin is most effective at pH level between 5 and 7.
Between pH 3 and 5, the activity of E 235 Natamycin decreases by 8 to 10%.
Below pH 4 and above pH 9, the antifungal effectiveness of E 235 Natamycin may be reduced by as much as 30%.
WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED DAILY DOSE OF E 235 NATAMYCIN?
E 235 Natamycin is considered safe when used within recommended limits.
Regulatory agencies have established maximum permissible levels for different food categories to ensure consumer safety.
For example, in the European Union, the use of E 235 Natamycin is regulated and has been evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which has set a maximum recommended dose of 0.3 mg/kg body weight/day.
IN WHICH PRODUCTS CAN YOU FIND THE E 235 NATAMYCIN ADDITIVE?
E 235 Natamycin is predominantly used in the dairy industry, where it serves to extend the shelf life of products such as cheese and yogurt by inhibiting mold growth.
However, its application is not limited to dairy products; E 235 Natamycin is also used in meat products, baked goods, and beverages.
