Applications And Uses Of Epsilon-Polylysine

ε-Polylysine is a natural substance from streptomyces albulus metabolism. It is widely used as food preservative.ε-Polylysine can inhibit the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, moulds, bacteria, etc. Epsilon-Polylysine is used in Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Health & Personal care products, Agriculture/Animal Feed/Poultry.

ε-Polylysine is hygroscopic, light yellow power. It is soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in organic solvent such as ethyl acetate, ether, etc. The molecular of ε-Polylysine is a straight chain polymer of lysine. It can decompose for lysine within the human body, and can be completely digested absorption by the human body, not only doesn’t have any poisonous side-effect, but also can be regard as the source of one kind of lysine.

ε-Polylysine can inhibit the growth of Gram(+) and Gram(-) bacteria , yeast, mould, virus, etc, especially inhibit the Gram(-) bacteria which can’t easily inhibit by other preservatives, such as E.coli, Salmonella, and also can inhibit the thermophilics, such as B,stearothermophilus. Its activity is not affected by PH, and stable when heated (120℃ for 20min). Therefore, it can be sterilized along with the raw material. It is a food preservative which is highly efficient, safe, and has no side-effects.

ε-Polylysine was generally recognized as a safe food preservative by FDA in October,2003. It is widely used in food preservation. In food application, it is usually applied with alcohol, organic acids, or glyceride, etc.. It can be used in cooked rice, cakes, snacks, noodles, drinks, brewing, meat products, canned food, etc.

Usage: You may confect the 5-10% ε-Polylysine solution with cold boiled water or distilled water, then put it into the food and mix fully. If it is used together with other food preservatives, can attain better effect.

ε-Polylysine Uses as follows:

Kosher Certified L-Valine

Kosher Certified L-Valine

L-Valine is a proteinogenic amino acid manufactured through chemical synthesis, available as white powder. As a synthesized chemical, L-Valine is general recognized as Kosher classified as Parve. Moreover, L-Valine is also regulated as Kosher for Passover. Kosher L-Valine has been used as a food additives and we have been supplying  Kosher L-Valine for many years.

What is Kosher L-Carnitine L-Tartrate?

Kosher is a Hebrew word that means fit, proper or correct. Nowadays, it is mostly used to describe food and drink that complies with Jewish religious dietary law. For a product to be kosher certified each ingredient, food additive and processing aid used in its production must also be kosher.

In addition, all kosher food can be grouped into three categories-meat, dairy or pareve (neutral). Kosher law prohibits the mixing of meat and milk, so foods like cheeseburgers and chicken parmesan are unacceptable.

  1. Dairy – Milk, cheese and other dairy products must come from a kosher animal in order to be kosher. Milk derivatives like casein are considered dairy when used in kosher foods, even though the USDA may classify them as “non-dairy.”
  2. Meat – Only meat and meat by-products from kosher species of animals are permitted, and then only if they are slaughtered by a specially trained “shochet” (ritual slaughterer). Kosher species include cattle, sheep, chicken and turkey.
  3. Pareve – Some foods are inherently kosher in their natural state such as fresh fruits, vegetables and grains. These foods, produced without meat or dairy content, are designated with the pareve status and may be eaten with either dairy or meat products.

PASSOVER HOLIDAY

Passover is an 8-day holiday that takes place in the spring and commemorates the Exodus of the Jewish people from ancient Egypt. It involves a unique set of additional kosher laws. During Passover, those who keep kosher refrain from eating leavened products. Although kosher the rest of the year, certain grain products and their derivatives may not be eaten during Passover.

Monosodium Phosphate gluten free

 Does anyone know if Monosodium Phosphate E339(i) is gluten free? Monosodium phosphate

Yes, Monosodium Phosphate E339(i) is gluten free and widely used in gluten free food used as a buffer, sequestrant, and stabilizer in dairy products, meats, and seafood. It can also be used as a pH adjuster in beverages and a treatment agent in drinking water.

Why is Monosodium Phosphate E339(i) gluten free?

Gluten is a type of elastic grain protein that helps wheat, rye and barley hold their shape. Because of its glue-like properties, gluten is often added to other food products—pasta, sauces, crackers, baked goods—to thicken or bind those products together. The manufacturing process of Monosodium Phosphateis E339(i) is from chemical synthesis. Raw materials used in the manufacturing process of Monosodium Phosphate E339(i) are phosphoric acid, and sodium hydroxide; Monosodium Phosphate E339(i) barely includes gluten impurity.
