Unveil the natural splendor of Natamycin, or Pimaricin, a wondrous substance brought to light by DSM scientists over 50 years ago, harnessed directly from the wealth of nature. Since its discovery in 1967, it has been a stalwart guardian of food integrity and has occasionally served as a therapeutic agent in fighting fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is expertly crafted from a pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, following a precisely controlled fermentation process. This meticulous approach guarantees the utmost purity and peerless quality of the final product. It is available in versatile liquid and powder forms, proudly marketed under DSM's distinguished brand name Delvo®Cid.

Function of Natamycin:
1. Masterfully halts the growth of yeasts and molds;
2. Guarantees high safety with a minimal amount;
3. Easily applied to food surfaces through spraying or dipping;
4. Exhibits remarkable stability across a wide pH range, effective from pH 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In foods
For decades, Natamycin has been a cornerstone in the food industry, serving as a formidable defense against fungal growth in dairy, extending the shelf life of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
In the medical realm, Natamycin is employed to combat fungal infections, proving effective against a diverse array of fungi such as Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A luminary in the food industry for years, Natamycin serves as a fresher alternative to traditional chemical preservatives, offering a neutral flavor and effectiveness less dependent on pH. It is used widely: as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,perfectly mixed or sprinkled into products.
