Core Advantages
1.Natural, Safe & Biodegradable: A natural product of microbial fermentation that degrades in the human body into the essential amino acid L-lysine. It is non-toxic, leaves no residues, and poses no allergy risks.
2.Broad-spectrum & Highly Effective: Exhibits strong inhibitory effects against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as molds and yeasts.
3.Heat/Acid/Alkali Resistant & Highly Adaptable: Stable at 120℃ and effective within a pH range of 3–9, making it compatible with high-temperature processing and a wide variety of pH formulations.
4.Excellent Water Solubility & Easy to Use: Rapidly dissolves in cold water without affecting the product's flavor or color, offering high efficiency at low dosages.
Application Scenarios
1.Food: Acts as a natural preservative in rice and flour products, meat products, sauces, beverages, and fresh produce to extend shelf life.
2.Daily Chemicals: Used in skincare, personal care, and oral care products as a mild bacteriostatic and preservative agent.
3.Pharmaceuticals: Applied in topical antibacterial preparations, wound care, and as antibacterial coatings for medical devices.
4.Feed: Serves as an antibiotic substitute to regulate the gut health of livestock, poultry, and aquatic animals, boosting their immunity.
5.Agriculture: Used for fruit and vegetable preservation and to inhibit harmful pathogens affecting crops.
