Discover the enchanting world of Natamycin, also recognized as Pimaricin—a groundbreaking substance unveiled by the brilliant minds at DSM over 50 years ago, derived directly from nature's treasure trove. Since 1967, it has been a stalwart in preserving the purity of foods and occasionally serves as a therapeutic agent against fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is exquisitely synthesized through an unblemished culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, following a meticulously regulated fermentation process. This unwavering attention to detail guarantees supreme purity and peerless quality in the final product. Offered in adaptable liquid and powder forms, it is proudly disseminated under DSM's distinguished brand name Delvo®Cid.

Function of Natamycin:
1. Masterfully restraining the proliferation of yeasts and molds;
2. Delivering exceptional safety with minimal usage;
3. Effortlessly applied to food surfaces through spraying or dipping;
4. Exhibiting remarkable stability over a broad pH range, effective from pH 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In foods
For decades, Natamycin has been pivotal in the food industry, serving as a robust shield against fungal growth in dairy, prolonging the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
In the medical realm, Natamycin is adept at tackling fungal disorders, proving effective against a wide array of fungi including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A luminary in the food industry for years, Natamycin offers a fresher, more natural alternative to conventional chemical preservatives, boasting a neutral flavor and effectiveness less dependent on pH. Its versatile application includes: as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in a powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,perfectly blended or sprinkled into products.
