3-Hydroxypropionaldehyde（Cat No.:M015349）, also known as reuterin, is a naturally occurring compound produced by certain Lactobacillus species during glycerol fermentation. Recognized for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, it is effective against various bacteria, fungi, and viruses, making it valuable in food preservation and probiotics. 3-Hydroxypropionaldehyde acts by inhibiting microbial growth through interactions with cellular components, helping to extend the shelf life of food products. Its role in gut health is also under study, as it may support beneficial bacteria and inhibit pathogens, contributing to its potential in food safety and biotechnological applications.
