Discover the natural genius of Natamycin, also known as Pimaricin, a groundbreaking discovery by DSM scientists over 50 years ago. Harvested from nature's bounty, since 1967, it has been a stalwart in protecting food integrity while occasionally offering therapeutic defenses against fungal invasions.
Our Natamycin is expertly produced using a pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, following a strictly controlled fermentation process that guarantees supreme purity and unparalleled quality of the final product. Available in versatile options of liquid and powder formulations, it is proudly presented under the esteemed DSM brand name Delvo®Cid.

Function of Natamycin:
1. Efficiently inhibits the growth of yeasts and molds;
2. Guarantees exceptional safety with minimal dosages;
3. Easily applied to food surfaces via spraying or dipping method;
4. Outstandingly stable over a wide pH range, effective from pH 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In foods
For generations, Natamycin has been a pivotal player in the food industry, acting as a robust shield against fungal growth in dairy, significantly prolonging the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
Employed in the medical field to combat fungal disorders, Natamycin is potent against a wide array of fungi, including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A luminary in the food industry for years, Natamycin presents a fresher alternative to traditional chemical preservatives, with its neutral flavor and reduced dependency on pH levels. It is flexibly applied as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in powdered form enhanced with cellulose anti-caking agents,seamlessly mixed or sprinkled into products.
