It binds to ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane, destroys the integrity of the cell membrane, and thus inhibits the growth and reproduction of fungi.

2. Food preservation:

Natamycin is widely used in the food industry as a natural biological preservative to extend the shelf life of food.

It is often used for surface treatment of foods such as cheese, yogurt, meat products, and juice to prevent spoilage caused by mold and yeast.

Natamycin can effectively inhibit the growth of mold in food, thereby reducing the production of mycotoxins.
