Discover the enchanting brilliance of Natamycin, also celebrated as Pimaricin. This extraordinary natural preservative, discovered by the visionary scientists at DSM over 50 years ago, has its roots deep in nature's bounty. Since 1967, Natamycin has been the guardian of food integrity, occasionally offering therapeutic defense against rare fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is masterfully produced through a pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, following a meticulously controlled fermentation journey. This guarantees the pinnacle of purity and unparalleled quality in the final product. Available in both versatile liquid and powder forms, it is proudly presented under DSM's esteemed brand name Delvo®Cid.
