Quality Control

Our 1-o-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-Mannitol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific impurity profiles are provided with every shipment. We can support compliance with relevant standards such as FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and other pharmacopeial monographs upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 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 lead to caking or degradation.
