Monocaprylin (Sefsol 318) is a monoglyceride of caprylic acid with an excellent antibacterial activity. Monocaprylin inhibits a variety of foodborne pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms and has the potential for an alternative food preservative research.

BMAP-18 is a biologically active peptide, a truncated derivative of BMAP-27, which is part of the Cathelicidin family of peptides known for their potent bactericidal properties against pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus uberis, and Escherichia coli. Unlike the full-length BMAP-27, which can be cytotoxic to human erythrocytes and neutrophils at concentrations higher than required for its antimicrobial effect, BMAP-18 offers increased cell selectivity due to its reduced hemolytic activity while maintaining effective antimicrobial function.
