Natural amino acid 'Polylysine' is used as an additive in food preservatives, hygiene materials, and daily necessities. Introducing the antibacterial effects of polylisine against various microorganisms.
ε-Polylysine (hereafter referred to as Polylysine) is a substance formally known as ε-Poly-L-lysine. It is a homopolymer consisting of 25 to 35 units linked by amide bonds, formed from the ε-amino group and the α-carboxyl group of the essential amino acid L-lysine. Since 1989, it has over 30 years of manufacturing history and is widely used as a food preservative amino acid. We will introduce the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Polylysine against various microorganisms. Polylysine exhibits antibacterial effects at concentrations ranging from a few ppm to several hundred ppm, regardless of the type of bacteria, yeast, or mold. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
