epsilon-Poly-L-lysine hydrochloride (MV 2000-5000) is an antimicrobial peptide that can be produced by bacteria such as Streptomyces. Epsilon-polylysine hydrochloride inhibits the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts and molds and is therefore often used as a green food additive and preservative in various food and beverage products. Epsilon-polylysine hydrochloride has a variety of properties, including thermal stability, resistance to acidic conditions, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Epsilon-polylysine hydrochloride can be loaded on other materials to form nanoparticles or form nanofiber membranes for targeted delivery to exert sustained antibacterial efficacy. Epsilon-polylysine hydrochloride is also used as a liposome stabilizer[1][2][3][4].
