Description

Erlose CAS NO 13101-54-7 is a specialized carbohydrate derivative, widely recognized as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced sweeteners and pharmaceutical compounds. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a precursor for high-intensity sweeteners like sucralose, where it contributes to the final product's stability and taste profile. This makes it an essential raw material for manufacturers in the food & beverage, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to develop reduced-calorie or sugar-free products.

Application

• Sucralose Production: Serves as a critical intermediate in the multi-step synthesis of the high-intensity sweetener sucralose.
• Food & Beverage Industry: Used in the development and manufacturing of low-calorie and sugar-free food products, beverages, and tabletop sweeteners.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Functions as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of certain pharmaceutical agents and specialized excipients.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Employed in the production of sweetener blends for vitamins, supplements, and functional foods.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a chiral building block or protected sugar intermediate for further organic synthesis in fine chemical manufacturing.
• Flavor Modifier: Used in research and development to modify or enhance flavor profiles in complex food systems.

Quality Control

Our Erlose is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, suitable for demanding applications like sweetener synthesis. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents. While specific grades can be tailored, our standard quality aligns with the rigorous standards expected by the food ingredient and pharmaceutical intermediate sectors.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
