Introduction
Meike-P4 (TB031-JC) is a multi-component preservative blend formulated with Potassium Sorbate, Nisin, Green Tea Extract, and Sodium Lactate. Combining synergistic natural antimicrobials, it delivers rapid dissolution and uniform dispersion without imparting off-flavors or altering food sensory profiles. Specially optimized for weakly acidic matrices, it suppresses both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, molds, sporulating bacilli, and Staphylococcus aureus while actively assisting in color protection and antioxidant defense.

Dosage Reference Guide
| Application Category | Dosage |
|---|---|
| Precooked instant rice noodles, rice vermicelli, ramen, etc. | 0.05%–0.1% (based on dry flour weight) |
| Canned/pickled vegetables | 0.1%–0.2% (based on total product weight) |
| Soy sauce, compound seasonings | 0.1%–0.2% (based on total product weight) |
Usage Guidelines
- Dissolve in approx. 10× warm water with high-speed agitation until fully clarified, then heat the solution; addition during late-stage batching is recommended.
- Can be added directly into high-shear emulsification vessels for co-dispersion and dissolution with other ingredients.
- For low-moisture dry preparations, pre-mix dry with bulk raw materials (such as starch or flour) prior to hydration.
Recommended Dosage: 0.05%–0.2%
