Description

Nystose Trihydrate is a high-purity, crystalline oligosaccharide derivative of sucrose, widely recognized for its functional properties in advanced research and product development. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate and reference standard in the synthesis and analysis of complex fructooligosaccharides (FOS). It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food science industries seeking to develop prebiotic ingredients, functional foods, and analytical methods.

Application

• Prebiotic Ingredient Research & Development: Serves as a key intermediate and model compound for synthesizing and studying higher-degree fructooligosaccharides (FOS) with enhanced prebiotic activity.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Used in HPLC, LC-MS, and other chromatographic methods for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of FOS mixtures in food, feed, and biological samples.
• Functional Food & Nutraceutical Formulation: Investigated for its potential application as a specialized sweetener and dietary fiber that promotes gut health by selectively stimulating beneficial bacteria.
• Biochemical & Enzymatic Studies: Employed as a substrate for studying the activity and specificity of fructosyltransferase and other carbohydrate-active enzymes.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Explored for its potential use as a stabilizer or carrier in solid dosage forms due to its non-reducing sugar properties.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Evaluated for use in skincare formulations for its potential humectant and skin-conditioning properties.

Quality Control

Our Nystose Trihydrate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-grade specifications suitable for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption and caking. For long-term storage, consider the use of a desiccant.
