Description

Araban CAS NO 11078-27-6 is a high-purity polysaccharide derived from plant sources, primarily composed of arabinose units. This biopolymer is valued for its unique rheological properties and biocompatibility, making it a versatile functional ingredient. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, food technology, and cosmetic industries seeking natural hydrocolloids and stabilizers.

Application

• As a viscosity modifier and stabilizer in pharmaceutical syrups, suspensions, and topical gels.
• Used in food product formulation as a natural thickener, emulsifier, and texturizing agent.
• As a film-forming agent and humectant in cosmetic and personal care products like creams and lotions.
• In microencapsulation technology for the controlled release of active ingredients in agrochemicals and nutraceuticals.
• As a research biochemical in studies of plant cell wall structure and carbohydrate chemistry.
• Potential use as a bio-based material in the development of edible films and biodegradable packaging.

Quality Control

Our Araban is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets specifications for identity, purity, and microbiological quality. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, viscosity, and heavy metal content are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
