Technical & procurement detail
What Epsilon-Polylysine is and what it does+
Epsilon-polylysine is a fermentation-derived cationic polypeptide of L-lysine with antimicrobial activity across a broader organism range than nisin, including some yeasts and Gram-negative bacteria.
Anionic ingredients neutralise it+
The activity depends on a positive charge, so acidic polysaccharides, phosphates and some proteins bind polylysine and cancel its effect. Validate the dose in the real matrix; a challenge test in buffer will overstate performance.
Approval status varies sharply by market+
Permitted status, permitted categories and maximum levels for epsilon-polylysine differ substantially between jurisdictions. Confirm the destination market before formulating around it.
Storage and activity loss+
Declared activity falls with temperature and moisture exposure during storage. Confirm the storage condition, the declared shelf life and the activity at the point of delivery rather than at production.
Regulatory status is destination-specific+
Permitted use, permitted level and required labelling for this material differ by country, by product category and by intended claim. Allzone does not represent that the material is approved for your application in your market. Tell us the destination market and the finished-product category, and the available supplier documentation is provided so your regulatory team can complete its own assessment.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
