Description

Arachin is a major seed storage protein derived from peanuts, known for its unique structural and functional properties. This high-purity protein is essential for research and development in food science, biochemistry, and material science, offering a reliable and consistent raw material. It is particularly valuable for industries focused on plant-based protein applications, nutritional studies, and the development of specialized biomaterials.

Application

• Food Science & Protein Research: Used as a standard protein in biochemical assays, nutritional studies, and for investigating protein structure-function relationships.
• Plant-Based Product Development: Serves as a key ingredient in the formulation of meat analogs, protein-fortified foods, and nutritional supplements.
• Allergen Testing & Diagnostics: Employed as a critical antigen in the development and calibration of immunoassays for peanut allergy detection.
• Biomaterial & Industrial Applications: Investigated for use in biodegradable films, adhesives, and other non-food industrial products due to its film-forming properties.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Studies: Explored for potential use in drug delivery systems and as a biocompatible carrier material.

Quality Control

Our Arachin is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and development. Each lot is analyzed for protein content, purity profile, and allergen specificity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as protein assay (Kjeldahl/BCA), SDS-PAGE profile, and moisture content is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
