Can Natamycin be used in bakery applications instead of Sorbic Acid?
The FDA permits use of Natamycin (Pimaricin) for use on the surface of cuts and slices of cheese. It is not approved in the United States to prevent mold growth in baked goods. Natamycin may be applied to cheese by dipping or spraying a liquid solution that contains 200-300 ppm of Natamycin.
