摘要
Natamycin is a natural antimicrobial food additive substance used to protect food against growth of fungi and yeast. Its use is reliable and safe for the human body. Natamycin kills fungi and yeast that could spoil the taste and smell of preserved meat products. Because of the lack of literature references on its detection in meat products, the aim of this study was to elaborate a method for determination of natamycin used to impregnate fermented dry salami casings. To detect the content of the effective substance, high-performance liquid chromatography with UV/Vis and mass spectrometry detection was employed; natamycin had been extracted from area-normalized surface layers of model salami protective casings to a mixture of methanol-water and detected with the above method. Moreover, the effective amount of natamycin in salami casings purchased from retail network was monitored, too.
