DSM Develop New Preservation Tool

The unique formulation of Delvocid L contains 10% natamycin and can be applied in an immersion bath or spray suspension. It mixes easily with water and its subtle colour also enables manufacturers to ensure the natamycin is well blended for homogenous coverage.

27/04/09 Delvocid L is the new, easy to use, liquid food preservation solution from DSM Food Specialties, developed to offer small dairies and sausage manufacturers a high level of protection against mould and yeast growth in a cost-effective format. A convenient alternative to traditional, powder-based natamycin products, Delvocid L is a patented, stable liquid formulation. As such, it eliminates common powder application issues such as dust and stickiness and offers cost savings through exact dosage and increased efficiencies.

The unique formulation of Delvocid L contains 10% natamycin and can be applied in an immersion bath or spray suspension. It mixes easily with water and its subtle colour also enables manufacturers to ensure the natamycin is well blended for homogenous coverage.

Delvocid L’s liquid format means that the correct dosage can be easily achieved and avoids waste and labour intensive weighing. Practical, transparent packaging makes the remaining volume clearly visible for optimum use and control. Plus, it is available in smaller bottles – the ideal format for smaller manufacturers looking to control and improve operational efficiencies.

Marloes Moerman, Product Manager Preservation Ingredients, DSM Food Specialties, commented:

“The advantages offered to manufacturers by Delvocid L are numerous – enhanced product functionality and efficiency and therefore favourable cost in use, as well as a good shelf life of eight months. The fact that no dust is produced in use means that the working environment is safer and cleaner. Furthermore, Delvocid L’s liquid format cuts costly manual weighing and measuring time. As an extremely easy to use alternative to standard powders, it really does provide smaller manufacturers with maximum protection in the most convenient format.

“At DSM, we focus on our customers’ needs and tailor our preservation ingredients to suit individual applications. In doing so, our ingredients are able to enhance product and process quality. As the latest innovation in our comprehensive portfolio of natural preservatives, Delvocid L reflects our continued commitment to providing customers with ingredients which guarantee reliability and quality, and respond successfully to their manufacturing challenges.”
