Description

Lactodifucotetraose CAS NO 20768-11-0 is a complex human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) with a specific fucosylated structure. This compound is of significant interest for its role in modulating the gut microbiome and supporting infant immune system development. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the infant nutrition, dietary supplement, and advanced biomedical research sectors seeking high-purity bioactive ingredients.

Application

• Infant Formula Fortification: As a key bioactive component to mimic the composition and functional benefits of human breast milk.
• Prebiotic and Nutraceutical Formulations: To promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria (e.g., Bifidobacteria) in dietary supplements and functional foods.
• Pharmaceutical Research: As a reference standard or active ingredient in studies focused on gastrointestinal health, immunology, and anti-adhesive therapies.
• Cell Culture and Microbiology: Used in research media to study bacterial adhesion, host-pathogen interactions, and glycan biology.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Serving as a critical antigen or binding molecule in assays and biosensors for detecting specific biological interactions.
