Pimalac® — Natural Antifungal Protection for Dairy and Food Products
Pimalac® is a natural antifungal agent produced through the fermentation of a non-GMO strain of Streptomyces natalensis. Its active substance, natamycin (pimaricin), is an EU and FDA approved food additive — and a globally trusted, proven solution for protecting food products against molds, yeasts, and fungi — without compromising product quality or sensory characteristics.
Why Pimalac®?
• Highly effective against molds, yeasts, and fungi
• Prevents the formation of harmful mycotoxins
• Extends the shelf life of food products
• Has no impact on the appearance, flavour, aroma, or colour of the final product
• Preserves the activity of desirable cultures in fermented applications
• Derived from a non-GMO microbial source
• Active substance natamycin is approved by both the EU and FDA as a safe food additive
Available in Two Forms
Powder form of Pimalac® contains 50% active natamycin content, delivering concentrated, high-efficacy antifungal protection. It is suitable for a wide range of food applications where precise dosing in dry form is preferred.
Pimalac® XL — Liquid Natamycin Formulation
Pimalac® XL is our newly developed liquid natamycin formulation, engineered for superior ease of use and operational efficiency. Unlike powder formulations that require dissolution prior to application, Pimalac® XL is ready to use with a simple dilution at your desired ratio — eliminating preparation steps and reducing the risk of dosing inconsistencies.
Its liquid form ensures outstanding stability and effortless standardisation, enabling users to achieve target natamycin concentrations in ppm with greater precision and consistency. Pimalac® XL is compatible with a wide range of application methods, including:
• Coating and painting solutions
• Spraying systems
• Brine and dipping solutions
• Aqueous solution preparation
Pimalac® XL delivers the same proven antifungal efficacy as the powder form — with less effort, greater process control, and a faster, more reliable workflow.
