Claims11
A method for providing a perishable solid food material, which is susceptible to yeast, fungus, or mold growth, protection from yeast, fungus, or mold growth, comprising dispersing a natamycin material fit for human consumption having an average particle diameter of 9 microns or less in or on said perishable food material so that natamycin is present contacting said perishable food material in a concentration of from 1 part per million up to 5 parts per million, said concentration of natamycin being sufficient to provide effective anti-mycotic activity for said perishable food material.
A composition, comprising:
- a perishable solid food material which is susceptible to spoilage from mold, fungus, or yeast growth in the material;
- a natamycin material fit for human consumption having an average particle diameter between 2.5 to 9 microns dispersed in or on said perishable food material, said natamycin material providing effective anti-mycotic activity for said perishable food material at concentrations of from 1 part per million up to 5 parts per million of natamycin.
