Description

Exopolysaccharide, Pseudomonas is a high-molecular-weight biopolymer secreted by bacteria of the *Pseudomonas* genus. This compound matters for its unique rheological properties, acting as a highly effective thickener, stabilizer, and gelling agent in aqueous systems. Industries requiring advanced bio-based materials, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food science, utilize this exopolysaccharide for its biocompatibility and functional performance.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a bioadhesive, viscosity enhancer, and stabilizer in topical gels, ophthalmic solutions, and controlled-release drug delivery systems.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Serves as a natural thickener and film-forming agent in creams, lotions, serums, and hair care products to improve texture and stability.
• Food Industry: Functions as a natural food-grade hydrocolloid for texture modification, moisture retention, and stabilization in dairy products, sauces, and gluten-free baking.
• Biomedical Research: Employed in tissue engineering scaffolds and hydrogel formulations due to its biocompatibility and structural properties.
• Industrial Applications: Acts as a bio-flocculant in water treatment processes and a component in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) formulations.
• Agricultural Science: Utilized in seed coatings and soil conditioners to improve water retention and promote plant growth.

Quality Control

Our Exopolysaccharide, Pseudomonas is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets specifications for identity, purity, and microbiological quality. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as carbohydrate content, viscosity, and endotoxin levels (where applicable) are available upon request. We adhere to relevant cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical and food-grade manufacturing.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent caking and degradation.
