Unveil the natural wonder of Natamycin, also known as Pimaricin—a groundbreaking discovery by DSM scientists over 50 years ago. Harvested from the richness of nature itself, this extraordinary compound has been preserving the purity of foods since 1967 and occasionally offers therapeutic benefits against fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is a product of precision, crafted meticulously through the pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria via a strictly controlled fermentation process. This guarantees the utmost purity and exceptional quality. Available in both liquid and powder forms, it is proudly introduced under DSM's renowned brand name Delvo®Cid.

Function of Natamycin:
1. Efficiently inhibits the growth of yeasts and molds;
2. Guarantees maximum safety with minimal dosage requirements;
3. Easily applied to food surfaces through spraying or dipping methods;
4. Demonstrates remarkable stability across a wide pH spectrum, 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 barrier against fungal growth in dairy, prolonging the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
In the medical domain, Natamycin is utilized to combat fungal conditions, proving effective against a spectrum of fungi including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A longstanding beacon in the food industry, Natamycin presents a fresher alternative to traditional chemical preservatives, offering a neutral flavor and efficacy less dependent on pH. Its versatile application includes use as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or as a powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,seamlessly mixed or sprinkled into products.
