NisinZ® Nisin

NisinZ® Vegetal Nisin preparation is a rare bacteriocin produced by fermentation using the bacterium Lactococcus lactis obtained from sauerkraut and vegetable-sourced culture medium.

NisinZ® is effective against Gram-positive bacteria including lactic acid spoilage bacteria, thus helping to prolong shelf life and retain food quality. It has also been used increasingly as a primary intervention to inactivate or inhibit the outgrowth of pathogenic food microorganisms such as Listeria, Staphylococcus, and Mycobacterium, and the spore forming bacteria, Bacillus and Clostridium, thereby helping to increase food safety.
