Nisin is an antibacterial peptide used as a food preservative, produced by the bacterium Lactococcus lactis. It is commonly used in the food and beverage sector to prevent spoilage by inhibiting harmful microbes, due to its heat-resistant properties. Nisin's ability to withstand high temperatures makes it ideal for thermal food processing, protecting against spoilage. The growing demand for ready-to-eat and processed foods is driving the nisin market, as consumers seek convenience.
The regulatory bodies like FDA, FSSAI, and WHO recognizes nisin as a ‘’food preservative’’ that is safe and quickly digestible by humans, as it leaves no residue in the body. It is used in more than 50 countries around the globe. With changing food habits and growing shift towards packaged foods, its use to extend shelf life of various products is expected to increase in the coming years.
With increased awareness of the health risks of chemical preservatives, manufacturers are incorporating natural preservatives like nisin into various products. The expanding alcohol industry, influenced by a large population of young consumers, also contributes to the market growth.
Further, with growing population, the consumption of ready-to-eat products is expected to continue to grow, thereby accelerating the use of nisin. According to the United Nations, the global population is projected to grow from 8.2 billion in 2024 to about 10.3 billion by the mid-2080s.
