Unearth the natural brilliance of Natamycin, also known as Pimaricin, a marvel discovered by DSM scientists over half a century ago, sourced from the bounty of nature itself. Since 1967, it has been safeguarding the integrity of foods and, on rare occasions, providing therapeutic benefits against fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is meticulously crafted through a pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, adhering to a rigorously controlled fermentation process. This ensures the highest purity and unmatched quality of the final product. Available in versatile liquid and powder formulations, it is proudly marketed under DSM's prestigious brand name Delvo®Cid.

Function of Natamycin:
1. Effectively curbing the growth of yeasts and molds;
2. Ensuring high safety with minimal dosage;
3. Conveniently applied to food surfaces via spraying or dipping;
4. Remarkably stable across a broad 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, acting as a formidable barrier against fungal proliferation in dairy, extending the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
Utilized in the medical field for combating fungal ailments, Natamycin is effective against a spectrum of fungi including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A beacon in the food industry for years, Natamycin offers a fresher alternative to conventional chemical preservatives, showcasing a neutral flavor and efficacy less reliant on pH. It finds versatile application: as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents, perfectly mixed or sprinkled into products.
