Natamycin 50% in Glucose
Natamycin 50% in Glucose is a standardised dry blend in which natamycin active is co-milled with anhydrous glucose to give a flowable powder with 50 percent assay. The format is designed for direct addition to dry mixes and surface dusting where a uniform low dose of antifungal is required.
Glucose was selected as the carrier because it is metabolically inert with respect to the antifungal action, dissolves cleanly in water and dough systems, and contributes no off-flavour at the milligram-per-kilogram doses typical of preservative use.
We source bulk Natamycin 50% in Glucose from top China manufacturers for our partners, working with several of them. The manufacturers are mostly in Henan, Shandong and Jiangsu. A smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.
Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades
This grade is specified as 50.0 percent natamycin minimum with the balance made up by food-grade anhydrous glucose.
Standard particle size is fine free-flowing powder in the 100 to 250 micron range, suitable for blender feeding. A finer micronised version is produced for spray suspensions.
The pale cream colour and neutral odour profile are consistent across batches.
Applications
- Bakery surface dustings on tortillas, flatbreads, and pita to extend mould-free shelf life
- Cake and muffin dry mixes where the carrier blends into the sugar phase of the recipe
- Filled bakery items such as cream-filled buns and custard-filled pastries in markets that permit broader use
- Sugar confectionery and panned coatings with low water activity but residual mould risk
- Dry beverage premixes where uniform low-dose dispersion is critical
- Salad dressing dry mixes and sauce powders
- Sausage casing dip baths after dilution into water suspension
- Cheese surface spray after dilution where lactose carrier is not required
- Yogurt and fresh cheese surface treatment where local regulation permits
- Animal feed mould control in pellet and mash formulations
- Pet food coatings and semi-moist treats
- Silage and forage preservative blends

How We Help Source Natamycin 50% in Glucose
Direct Factory Sourcing
We run the whole process: selecting the manufacturer from the top Chinese food ingredient producers, negotiating the price, verifying quality, and coordinating the logistics. You deal with us instead of with several factories at once.
Original Packaging and Documents from the Manufacturer
The manufacturer sends your Natamycin 50% in Glucose out of its own factory in the original packing, through to your destination port. The COA, COO, MSDS, TDS and any certifications reach you from the manufacturer as well.
Free Samples and Lead Time
We send 100 to 500 g free for your own laboratory to test and you cover only the courier, usually within 2 to 3 working days. ETD is usually within 7 to 15 days once the order is confirmed, and we check that date against the factory's own manufacturing schedule before we give it to you.
Combined Shipment
We can load Natamycin 50% in Glucose together with other ingredients such as Calcium Propionate, Sodium Diacetate and Sodium Propionate into one 20' FCL. If your quantity is small, we can also ship LCL.
Regulatory Status
The active substance carries the European E number E235 and is permitted under Annex II of Regulation 1333/2008 only as a surface treatment of hard, semi-hard, and semi-soft cheese and of dried, cured sausage. Use in bakery, confectionery, and other matrices is not permitted under current EU rules.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates natamycin under 21 CFR 172.155, permitted as an antimycotic on the surface of cuts and slices of cheese at up to 20 mg per kg. Broader food-additive petitions covering bakery and beverage use have been filed in some jurisdictions outside the EU.
The glucose carrier is a standard food ingredient with no restriction beyond labelling. The finished blend should be declared on the ingredient list as natamycin (E235) on glucose, in compliance with the applicable jurisdiction.
JECFA has evaluated natamycin and pharmacopoeial monographs appear in the United States Pharmacopeia, the European Pharmacopoeia, and the British Pharmacopoeia. Halal and Kosher certifications are routinely available.
Manufacturing Process
The active is produced by submerged fermentation of Streptomyces natalensis followed by solvent extraction, crystallisation, and washing to pharmacopoeia-grade purity.
Crystalline natamycin at 95 percent or higher assay is then blended with food-grade anhydrous glucose in a controlled environment. The two powders are co-milled to a target particle size that ensures the active is evenly dispersed through the carrier matrix.
The finished blend is sampled and assayed by ultraviolet absorption at 303 nm against a reference standard to confirm the 50 percent specification.
Packaging is typically in foil-lined bags inside fibre drums, with the active stable for 24 months when stored cool, dry, and away from direct light.
