Microbial Preservatives for Food Preservation refer to biopreservative ingredients produced through the fermentation of bacteria, actinomycetes, yeasts, or other microorganisms and subsequently extracted, separated, concentrated, or formulated to inhibit food spoilage microorganisms and foodborne pathogens. Major products include nisin, natamycin, ε-polylysine, antimicrobial peptides, and composite microbial fermentation metabolites. These preservatives extend food shelf life and help maintain product quality by controlling the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and molds. They are mainly used in meat products, dairy products, bakery foods, beverages, condiments, processed fruits and vegetables, and other processed foods. Nisin and natamycin are recognized by international food-safety authorities as food additives with preservative functions, while their permitted applications and dosage levels vary by jurisdiction.
