Nisin

Nisin is a natural preservative produced by certain bacteria, commonly used in the food industry to extend shelf life. It works by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and molds that can spoil food or cause illness. Nisin is especially effective in dairy products, processed meats, and beverages. Recognized as safe by regulatory agencies, it is widely added to foods to help maintain freshness without altering taste or quality. Its use allows for longer storage and safer consumption, making it a valuable tool in food preservation and safety.
