®
Your daily challenge
• Prevent yeast and mold spoilage
• Extend shelf life
• Maintain product taste
• Protect your brands
Today’s consumers want products made with natural ingredients that combine a
clean label and good flavor. With Natamax® B Plus, not only do you satisfy what the
consumer wants, but you also do it more cost effectively. Natamax® B Plus is a
patent-pending GRAS complex composed of 12.5% natamycin and gammacyclodextrin that protects your product naturally while maintaining its freshness
and taste for a longer period of time.
While standard natamycin has a low solubility, 98% of the natamycin in Natamax®
B Plus dissolves instantly in water, creating a clear and easy-to-use solution. Thanks
to its even distribution in liquids, Natamax® B Plus allows you to optimize dosages,
reduce your energy and maintenance costs, while efficiently protecting your product
throughout its shelf life.
