It shows antimicrobial activity against food-borne bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes at low concentration. It shows synergistic action with other bacteriocins and chelators. Nisin plays an immune-modulatory role, by offering anti-biofilm and anti-cancer properties. Growing application of nisin in bio preservation of dairy products such as yoghurt, natural cheese, processed cheese, egg products, pasteurized soups, flour-based products, canned food such as peas, okra, asparagus, mushrooms, peppers, and carrots, and meat products such as sausages, seafood, and salad dressings, and alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer are driving growth of the nisin market.
