Unearth the natural brilliance of Natamycin, also known as Pimaricin, a marvel unveiled by DSM scientists over 50 years ago, sourced from the richness of nature itself. Since 1967, this remarkable compound has been safeguarding food integrity and, in rare cases, offering therapeutic benefits against fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is meticulously crafted via a pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, utilizing a rigorously controlled fermentation process. This precision ensures the highest purity and unmatched quality of the final product. Available in both versatile liquid and powder formulations, it is proudly marketed under DSM's prestigious brand name Delvo®Cid.

Function of Natamycin:
1. Effectively curbs the growth of yeasts and molds;
2. Ensures high safety with minimal dosage;
3. Easily applied to food surfaces through spraying or dipping;
4. Remarkably stable across a broad pH range, maintaining effectiveness from pH 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In foods
For decades, Natamycin has been a cornerstone in the food industry, acting as a formidable shield against fungal growth in dairy, extending the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
Natamycin is utilized in the medical field for combating fungal ailments, effective against a spectrum of fungi including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A beacon in the food industry for years, Natamycin offers a fresher alternative to conventional chemical preservatives, showcasing a neutral flavor and efficacy less reliant on pH. It finds versatile application: as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in a powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,perfectly blended or sprinkled into products.
