Natamycin is an almost odorless white to creamy yellow crystalline powder, and its crystalline form is highly stable. The solubility in water and most organic solvents is very low. At room temperature, 1 liter of pure water can dissolve about 50mg, and low solubility is very suitable for surface treatment of food.
