"Polylysine" produced by JNC has been certified as GRAS by the US FDA.
Polycations derived from amino acids that can be used in food preservatives, hygiene materials, and daily necessities. JNC's "Polylysine" has obtained GRAS certification.
Polylysine is widely used as a food additive and, thanks to its GRAS certification (Note) from the U.S. FDA, is recognized as a global standard food preservative. As of August 2, 2022, the only polylysine with FDA GRAS certification is the polylysine produced by JNC Corporation. Polylysine is a naturally occurring amino acid-derived substance produced by microbial fermentation, similar to miso, soy sauce, yogurt, and other products. Polylysine ionically adsorbs to microorganisms, inhibiting their growth. Due to its broad antibacterial properties and excellent flavor-preserving properties, it is primarily used to extend the shelf life of foods, and is used in a wide range of food products, including ekiben (boxed lunches), soraben (boxed lunches sold at supermarkets), and prepared meals. Note: GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) is a safety standard certification given to food additives by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). To be generally recognized as safe through scientific procedures, quantitative and qualitative scientific evidence equivalent to that required for approval of a substance as a food additive is required. *For more information, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
