Description

Polymannose is a high-purity polysaccharide derived from natural sources, characterized by its specific mannose-based polymeric structure. This compound is valued for its functional properties as a versatile biopolymer and excipient in advanced formulations. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries seeking consistent, high-quality ingredients for specialized applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a binder, disintegrant, or controlled-release matrix in tablet and capsule formulations.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Employed as a functional fiber and prebiotic component in health supplement products.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a natural moisturizing agent, film-former, and texture enhancer in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Biomedical Research: Serves as a substrate or carrier in cell culture media, diagnostic assays, and biochemical studies.
• Food Technology: Utilized as a stabilizer, thickener, or dietary fiber fortifier in specialized food products.
• Industrial Biotechnology: Applied in enzyme immobilization, chromatography media, and as a precursor for bio-based materials.

Quality Control

Our Polymannose is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We adhere to relevant guidelines for pharmaceutical and food-grade ingredients where applicable. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing purity, identity, and key physical parameters, is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 sealed to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
