Discover the extraordinary brilliance of Natamycin, also fondly known as Pimaricin, a groundbreaking discovery by DSM scientists over 50 years ago. Derived from the abundant gifts of nature, this wonder has been preserving the purity of food since 1967 and occasionally offers therapeutic benefits against fungal infections.
Our Natamycin is crafted with precision through a pure culture of Streptomyces natalensis bacteria, following a strictly regulated fermentation process that ensures the highest purity and unparalleled quality. It is available in both liquid and powder forms, proudly marketed under DSM's elite brand name Delvo®Cid.

Function of Natamycin:
1. Effortlessly restrains the growth of yeasts and molds, ensuring food safety;
2. Guarantees high safety with minimal dosage, making it an efficient choice;
3. Easily applied to food surfaces through spraying or dipping techniques;
4. Astonishingly stable across a vast pH range, maintaining effectiveness from pH 3 to 9.
Application of Natamycin:
1. In foods
For decades, Natamycin has been a pivotal force in the food industry, acting as a powerful shield against fungal growth in dairy, extending the freshness of cheese, baked goods, meats, and beverages.
2. In Medical
Harnessed in medicine for its antifungal prowess, Natamycin effectively combats a range of fungi including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium, and Penicillium.
A shining beacon in the food industry, Natamycin presents a fresher alternative to traditional chemical preservatives, with a neutral flavor profile and efficacy less dependent on pH levels. Its versatile applications include: as an aqueous suspension for spraying or dipping, or in powdered form with cellulose anti-caking agents,perfectly integrated or sprinkled into various products.
