The invention relates to inactivating mold spores in a beverage using pasteurization in the presence of natamycin and to a beverage comprising natamycin and mycosamine.

Method for inactivating mold spores

The present invention describes natamycin comprising needle shaped crystals.

Stable needle-shaped crystals of natamycin

The present invention relates to liquid nisin compositions having a high anti-microbial activity. The invention further relates to a method for preparing the liquid nisin compositions as well as their use as a preservative in food products.

Liquid nisin compositions

Stable needle shaped crystals of natamycin having a mean length of between 0.1 and 20 &#x3bc;m.

The present invention describes a process to preserve a water-containing product such as a foodstuff, which comprises adding natamycin and nisin to the product, whereby at least 90% (w/v) of natamycin is dissolved and/or less than 10% (w/v) of natamycin is present in crystal form.

Antimicrobial composition

An aqueous composition is disclosed which comprises 0.1 to 20 g/l of polyene fungicide, 0.5 to 50 g/l of a suitable thickener and optionally 20 to 250 g/l of salt.

Antifungal composition

Methods for long-term preservation of food products using a lactoperoxidase system. Long-term preservation is achieved by controlled generation of hydrogen peroxide as a substrate for the lactoperoxidase system. Controlled production of hydrogen peroxide is achieved by generating the hydrogen peroxide enzymatically form a system wherein the substrate for the enzyme generating the hydrogen peroxide is immobilized or is generated in situ from a precursor.

Longterm antimicrobial activity obtained by sustained release of

Concentrated suspensions of polyene fungicides such as natamycin are disclosed which exhibit good chemical, microbial and physical stability and which are thus particularly suitable as stock suspensions for the preparation of immersion liquids and coating emulsions for treatment of food, feed and agricultural products. Such suspensions have a pH in the range 3 to 4.8 and include a thickening agent.
