Discover the remarkable power of Natamycin, also known as Pimaricin, a natural preservative that has stood the test of time since its discovery by DSM scientists over fifty years ago. Harvested from nature's bounty, Natamycin has been reliably protecting food integrity and occasionally aiding in the treatment of fungal infections since 1967.
Our Natamycin exemplifies precision and purity, crafted through a pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria. With a meticulously controlled fermentation process, we ensure unparalleled quality and purity. This exceptional product is available in both versatile liquid and powder forms, proudly marketed under DSM's prestigious brand name Delvo®Cid.

Function of Natamycin:
1. Masterfully inhibits the growth of yeasts and molds, ensuring your products stay fresh;
2. Guarantees high safety with remarkably minimal dosages;
3. Easy and convenient application on food surfaces via spraying or dipping;
4. Exhibits outstanding stability across a comprehensive pH range, effective from pH 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In Foods
For decades, Natamycin has been a vital pillar in the food industry, providing a robust barrier against fungal growth in dairy, notably extending the shelf life of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
In medical applications, Natamycin is a powerful ally against a wide range of fungal infections, showing efficacy against fungi such as Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A longstanding beacon in the food industry, Natamycin offers a fresher alternative to traditional chemical preservatives. It delivers a neutral flavor and high efficacy, less dependent on pH. It’s versatile, whether as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,perfectly incorporated or sprinkled into products to maintain their freshness.
