Discover the radiant potential of Natamycin, also known as Pimaricin, a revolutionary substance uncovered by DSM scientists over five decades ago. Derived directly from nature's abundance, since 1967, it has been a steadfast guardian of food integrity, occasionally delivering therapeutic advantages against fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is expertly developed using a pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, following a strictly monitored fermentation process that ensures exceptional purity and superior quality of the end product. Available in both liquid and powder forms, it is proudly distributed under DSM's esteemed brand name Delvo®Cid.

Function of Natamycin:
1. Powerfully inhibits the growth of yeasts and molds, preserving food quality;
2. Offers exceptional safety with minimal dosage requirements;
3. Effortlessly applied to food surfaces by spraying or dipping methods;
4. Demonstrates remarkable stability across a wide pH spectrum, effective in pH ranges from 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In foods
For decades, Natamycin has stood as a pillar in the food industry, providing a formidable shield against fungal growth in dairy, significantly prolonging the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
Employed in the medical realm to combat fungal diseases, Natamycin is effective against a diverse range of fungi including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium species.
A luminary in the food industry for years, Natamycin offers a fresher alternative to traditional chemical preservatives, boasting a neutral flavor profile and efficacy less dependent on pH. It is adaptable in its application: available as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,ensuring seamless integration, whether mixed or sprinkled into products.
