MARKET OVERVIEW

Nisin is a polycyclic antibacterial peptide that is produced by fermentation of food-grade bacteria. It is commercially used as a food preservative. Nisin is widely used in processed foods, majorly in dairy products, juice, canned foods, and meat to increase the shelf life of the food products. It has a pH range of 3.5-8 and is regarded as safe by the various food safety authorities in different countries including WHO and FDA. Nisin works by inhibiting the growth of the pathogens to keep the food fresh. The major drivers of the market are- widespread use in the food industry, effectiveness against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and its use as an antimicrobial agent in active packaging. The growing use of active packaging is also one of the aspects driving the market. Its natural way to safeguarding the food by extending its lifespan without altering the taste allows to reduce of processing temperatures and makes it easy to use. The production of nisin is sensitive and crucial. The end product is adversely affected if there is an increase in lactate concentration beyond a standard level and a decrease in pH . It is also very costly when compared to its chemical counterparts.
