Discover the exceptional power of Natamycin, also known as Pimaricin, an extraordinary compound unveiled by DSM scientists over fifty years ago. Hailing from nature's abundance, since 1967, it has consistently protected the integrity of foods and on unique occasions, offered therapeutic advantages against fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is crafted with precision, harnessing a pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, following a strictly controlled fermentation process. This meticulous approach guarantees the utmost purity and exceptional quality of the final product. Available in both adaptable liquid and powder forms, it proudly carries the esteemed DSM brand name Delvo®Cid.

Functions of Natamycin:
1. Efficiently inhibits the growth of yeasts and molds;
2. Offers high safety levels with minimal dosage;
3. Easily applied to food surfaces through spraying or dipping;
4. Demonstrates remarkable stability across a broad pH range, effective from pH 3 to 9.
Applications of Natamycin:
1. In Foods
For decades, Natamycin has been a fundamental ally in the food industry, serving as a powerful defender against fungal growth in dairy products, thereby extending the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
Employed in the medical field to combat fungal afflictions, Natamycin is effective against a diverse range 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, featuring a neutral flavor and efficiency less dependent on pH. Its versatile application: as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,seamlessly mixed or sprinkled into products.
