Description

.Alpha.-D-Fructofuranoside, Methyl is a specific methyl glycoside derivative of fructose, recognized by the CAS number 15219-93-9. This specialized carbohydrate derivative is valued for its role as a key intermediate and reference standard in advanced chemical synthesis and analytical research. It is primarily required by research institutions and industrial laboratories engaged in carbohydrate chemistry, flavor and fragrance development, and the synthesis of complex bioactive molecules.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a crucial building block for the synthesis of more complex glycosides, oligosaccharides, and carbohydrate-based polymers.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity standard in chromatographic analysis (HPLC, GC) for method development and quality control in carbohydrate research.
• Flavor & Fragrance Precursor: Acts as a precursor in the development of specific flavoring agents and aroma compounds due to its sugar-derived structure.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in enzymatic studies, particularly those involving glycosidases and glycosyltransferases, to investigate substrate specificity and reaction mechanisms.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Utilized in the research and development of novel glycoconjugates and prodrugs where specific sugar moieties are required.

Quality Control

Our .Alpha.-D-Fructofuranoside, Methyl is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and structural confirmation. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and relevant specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
