Description
ε-polylysine is a natural, biodegradable, and antimicrobial polyamine that is made from the polymerization of lysine monomers via the ε-amide linkage. ε-polylysine is mainly produced through microbial fermentation, utilizing bacteria such as Streptomyces albulus. ε-polylysine is widely used as a natural preservative in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals due to its potent antifungal and antibacterial properties. ε-polylysine has become a popular choice for manufacturers looking for clean-label, non-toxic preservatives.
Advantages:
Natural and Safe: ε-polylysine is a natural preservative produced by microbial fermentation. Its monomer is one of the eight common amino acids in the human body, and it does not cause harmful effects on human health.
Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Activity: ε-polylysine exhibits significant inhibitory effects against both Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and yeasts. Additionally, it can be used in combination with hydrochloric acid, citric acid, malic acid, etc., to further enhance its preservative capability.
Good Heat Resistance: ε-polylysine does not decompose under high-temperature conditions (e.g., maintaining at 120°C for 60 minutes), can inhibit thermophilic bacteria, and is suitable for high-temperature sterilization processes.
Good Water Solubility: ε-polylysine is readily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in organic solvents such as ethyl acetate and diethyl ether. This makes it easy to use and operate in food processing.
Certification
Application
The main application fields of ε-polylysine include the following aspects:
Food Preservation:
As a natural preservative, ε-polylysine is widely used in the food preservation field due to its characteristics of broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, high temperature resistance, and a wide pH adaptation range. ε-polylysine can effectively inhibit the growth of various microorganisms and extend the shelf life of food. In Japan, ε-polylysine has entered the commercial market and is widely used in various foods, especially in boxed cooked rice purchased from supermarkets and grocery stores.
Biomedicine:
Due to its cationic properties and biocompatibility,ε-polylysine is used in drug delivery systems. It can serve as a carrier for anticancer drugs (such as methotrexate) to enhance efficacy and reduce drug resistance. Additionally, ε-polylysine is applied in gene delivery systems, where it binds to negatively charged nucleic acids through electrostatic interactions to promote cellular uptake and targeted release. In fields such as wound dressings and artificial skin, the antibacterial and biodegradable properties of ε-polylysine are utilized to inhibit infections and promote healing.
Material Science:
Epsilon Polylysinealso finds wide applications in material science. Through functional modification, responsive hydrogels and nanoparticles can be designed for controlled drug release. Additionally, ε-polylysine hydrogels exhibit potential in surgical suturing and tissue engineering due to their cationic properties and strong binding affinity with the tissue mucus layer.
