Natamycin is a natural food additive produced by *Streptomyces natalensis*. It serves as a preservative that inhibits the growth of yeasts and molds responsible for food spoilage;however, it does not inhibit bacterial growth. Consequently, Natamycin is often used in conjunction with Nisin to control microorganisms and extend the shelf life of food products, as well as to serve as an alternative to synthetic preservatives. Its effectiveness depends on various factors—such as pH, temperature, light, oxides, and heavy metals—which influence its stability.

Natamycin appears as an odorless white powder and has a long history of use in the United States and the European Union. It is widely utilized in the food industry for products such as cheese, pasteurized milk, yogurt, fruit juice, alcoholic beverages, flour-based products, meat products, seafood, and others. It can be applied by dissolving it in a brine solution and spraying it onto the product or by mixing the powder directly into the food. Additionally, Natamycin is used in pharmaceutical products.
