What is Natamycin (Antifungal for Food)?

Natamycin or Pimarisin (Antifungal for Food) from Dayan Arman Company is the exclusive distributor of Arnova Turkey. For inquiries about the price and purchase of Natamycin, please contact us.

Natamycin (Antifungal) is a very strong antifungal agent that increases the shelf life of food. It is a completely natural compound produced during fermentation by the pure strain of *Streptomyces natalensis*. After extraction, filtering, washing, and ensuring quality and purity, it is processed. This product, which is also known as Antifungal Powder, Pimarisin, or Antifungal, is a completely natural and environmentally friendly solution that can compete effectively with traditional chemical preservatives such as *Potassium Sorbate*. This product is a tasteless and colorless preservative, and its solution has less dependency on the *pH* and prevents the growth of fungi and yeast even in small quantities. It is available in both liquid and powder forms.

One of the advantages of using this product instead of other chemical preservatives is that it can be used both as a powder in formulations and as a liquid suspension mixed with brine and sprayed on products.
The target point of Natamycin is ergosterol in the cell wall. Ergosterol creates a barrier in the cell wall against fungi and yeast, which is responsible for food transport within the cell, making it essential for their survival. Since ergosterol is absent in bacterial cell walls, Natamycin has no effect on bacteria.

The pure solution of Natamycin is formed through the recrystallization of the initial Natamycin, resulting in a highly soluble, uniform, resistant suspension with good dispersion and high efficacy in water. With these properties and exceptional benefits, this product works well to prevent the growth of fungi and yeast. The crystals of this substance are activated when necessary and increase the durability of the food product.

Natamycin Standard

Natamycin (Shelf Life Enhancer) with high solubility meets the international Codex standard with code E235.

How Natamycin Works:

Fungi in food present a major challenge for food producers. Natamycin is an extremely effective and authorized antifungal solution. Unlike most antibiotics, it works at low concentrations and across a wide *pH* range. This product is a completely natural compound produced during fermentation by the pure strain of *Streptomyces natalensis*. After extraction, filtering, washing, and ensuring the quality and purity, it is processed. Natamycin is a completely natural and environmentally friendly compound, and its solution competes well with traditional chemical preservatives like *Potassium Sorbate*. This product is a very suitable alternative to Potassium Sorbate.

Benefits of Natamycin:

Natamycin is a tasteless and colorless preservative that, for effectiveness, has less dependency on pH and prevents the growth of fungi and yeast in low quantities. Natamycin is available in both liquid and powder forms. Therefore, one of the advantages of using it over other chemical preservatives is that it can be used in powder form in formulations and also as a liquid suspension mixed with brine and sprayed on products.

How Natamycin Prevents Fungal Growth?

The target point of Natamycin is ergosterol (antifungal) in the cell wall. Ergosterol creates a barrier in the cell wall against fungi and yeast, which is responsible for food transport within the cell, and this is why it is essential for the survival of fungi and yeast. Since ergosterol is absent in bacterial cell walls, this preservative is ineffective against bacteria.

Recommended Dosage of Natamycin:

Since Natamycin is used in very low doses (1 to 10 ppm), the cost of consumption is significantly lower compared to synthetic preservatives and other natural inhibitors.

Natamycin for Use in Dairy Products:

1-Pure Natamycin (Pure Natamaycin)

2-Liquid Natamycin (Liquid Natamycin)

3-Natamycin 50%

Natamycin is a strong antifungal and preservative. Pure Natamycin 98%, with high solubility in powder form, offers higher efficacy and lower dosage compared to the 50% variety. Adding Pure Natamycin to food products can effectively prevent the growth of fungi and yeast.

Main Advantages of Pure Natamycin:

Pure Natamycin is a strong antifungal agent (fungus and yeast inhibitor), increases shelf life, forms uniform dissolution and a resistant suspension, and has no effect on the flavor, color, or texture of food.
· Cost-effective
· Environmentally friendly

Natamycin Applications:

Natamycin in Yogurt:

It is used to prevent mold and flavor changes in yogurt. Mold and yeast, naturally present in our environment, grow on the surface of yogurt, causing undesirable appearance, bad taste, and texture changes. Therefore, using Natamycin in yogurt helps extend its shelf life.

Natamycin in Cheese:

Using Natamycin in cheese prevents the growth of mold on the cheese surface, preventing the softening of the cheese texture and unpleasant odor. It also prevents yeast growth and gas production, increasing the shelf life of cheese.

Natamycin in Buttermilk:

Using Natamycin in buttermilk prevents mold growth and prevents yeast growth in buttermilk, which ensures that the buttermilk doesn’t become carbonated or undergo any undesirable taste, color, or odor changes caused by yeast activity. Thus, using Natamycin in buttermilk helps increase its shelf life.

Natamycin in Pickles and Olives:

Using Natamycin in pickles and olives increases their shelf life, as these products are generally exposed to mold and yeast attacks, leading to taste and texture changes.

Natamycin in Plum and Fruit Leather:

Using Natamycin in plums and fruit leather increases their shelf life and reduces the overall microbial load of these products, as fruit leather and plums are typically made from lower-grade fruits.
