NATAMYCIN RECOVERY

摘要

The invention relates to a process of recovery of natamycin from a fermentation broth containing at least 2 g/l natamycin by adding methanol and adjusting the pH to 1.0 to 4.5 to dissolve the precipitated natamycin; removing the remaining suspended solids; and raising the pH to 6.0 to 9.0 to precipitate high purity natamycin.
