Discover the wonders of Natamycin, also known as Pimaricin, a natural miracle unveiled by DSM scientists over 50 years ago, derived directly from nature's abundance. Since 1967, it has been a stalwart guardian of food quality, occasionally serving as a therapeutic agent against fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is crafted with precision through a carefully maintained pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, following a strictly controlled fermentation process. This guarantees exceptional purity and unparalleled quality in the final product. Available in both liquid and powder forms, it proudly carries DSM's esteemed brand name Delvo®Cid.

Function of Natamycin:
1. Efficiently halting the growth of yeasts and molds;
2. Ensures utmost safety with minimal required dosage;
3. Easily applied to food surfaces through spraying or dipping;
4. Demonstrates remarkable stability across a wide pH spectrum, effective from pH 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In foods
For generations, Natamycin has been a foundation in the food industry, acting as an indomitable barrier against fungal growth in dairy, prolonging the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
In the medical sector, Natamycin is a trusted ally against fungal infections, effective against a variety of fungi including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A luminary in the food industry for many years, Natamycin offers a fresher, neutral-flavored alternative to traditional chemical preservatives, with efficacy that is less dependent on pH levels. Its versatile application includes use as an aqueous suspension for spray or dip application, or in powder form enhanced with cellulose anti-caking agents,seamlessly integrated or sprinkled into products.
