protamine
Protamine is a fine and simple strong alkaline protein, and high arginine is found in fish sperm cells. Protamine has strong antibacterial ability and high thermal stability in neutral and alkaline media. It is still active when heated at 2 10℃ 1.5h, and has a wide range of antibacterial and food preservation functions. It has a strong inhibitory effect on Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus coagulans, Lactobacillus, Lactobacillus casei and Streptococcus faecalis. But the inhibitory effect on gram-negative bacteria is not obvious. [1] It has been found that protamine can interact with some protein involved in nutrient transport or biosynthesis system on cell membrane, so that the function of these protein is damaged, and then the metabolism of cells is inhibited, leading to cell death. Protamine has a more significant antibacterial effect in neutral and alkaline media. Widely used in bread, cakes, dishes (side dishes), aquatic products, bean paste stuffing, seasonings and so on.
