It has obvious inhibition to gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, viruses, etc. Generally, it takes effect when the concentration reaching 50μg/ml. Therefore, it is widely used as an antistaling agent. Meanwhile, experiments show that it has few side effect as it can be decomposed into lysine in the human body.

In recent years, εpolylysine is gaining more attention from the food industry due to its unique properties. Against the background of governments' stricter control on chemical preservatives and increasing demand for healthy food, the application of polylysine and other natural preservatives is expected to keep expanding.
