Application
Food Preservative: A natural food additive (certified as E234 in many countries) used to inhibit microorganisms and extend shelf life. It is used in dairy products (such as cheese and yogurt), canned foods, meat products, beer, and plant-based protein beverages. It effectively inhibits spore-forming bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum, thereby improving food safety.
Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Products: Antibiotics are used clinically and in research to combat drug-resistant strains, particularly in the treatment of localized or digestive tract infections.
Cosmetics: A mild natural preservative used to extend the shelf life of certain personal care products (such as toothpaste and mouthwash).
