Nisin E234 possesses anti-microbial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria and their spores which causes food spoilage, and especially inhibits the heat-resistant bacilli, such as B. Stearothermophilus, CI. Butyricum and L. Monocytogenes. It is a natural food preservative which is highly efficient, safe and has no side-effects.
