Discover the unrivaled brilliance of Natamycin, also known as Pimaricin, a phenomenal discovery by DSM scientists. Unveiled over half a century ago, Natamycin is a gift from nature, safeguarding food integrity since 1967, while occasionally offering therapeutic benefits against fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is expertly crafted using a pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, through a precisely controlled fermentation process. This ensures peak purity and exceptional quality of the product. Available in both liquid and powder forms, it proudly carries DSM's esteemed brand name, Delvo®Cid.

The Function of Natamycin:
1. Effectively suppresses the growth of yeasts and molds;
2. Offers high safety using minimal doses;
3. Easily applied to food surfaces through spraying or dipping;
4. Exceptionally stable across a wide pH range, effective from pH 3 to 9.
The Application of Natamycin:
1. In Foods
A staple in the food industry for decades, Natamycin acts as a powerful barrier against fungal growth in dairy products, extending the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medicine
In the medical realm, Natamycin is employed to combat fungal conditions, showing efficacy against a variety of fungi including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A luminary in the food sector, Natamycin offers a fresher substitute to traditional chemical preservatives, boasting a neutral flavor and effectiveness that is less pH-dependent. It is versatile in application: as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,expertly blended or evenly sprinkled into products.
