Description

Magnesium Bis[D-Galacturonate] is a magnesium salt of D-galacturonic acid, a key component of pectin. This compound is valued for its role as a bioavailable source of magnesium and a functional ingredient derived from natural polysaccharides. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced food ingredient sectors where chelated mineral forms and pectin derivatives are required. Its specific CAS registry number is 31186-93-3.

Application

• Pharmaceutical excipient and mineral supplement in tablet or capsule formulations.
• Nutraceutical ingredient for magnesium fortification in dietary supplements.
• Functional food additive, potentially as a texture modifier or stabilizer in specialized products.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex carbohydrate-based compounds or chelates.
• Research and development applications in biochemistry and nutrition studies.
• Potential use in cosmetic or personal care formulations for skin conditioning.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Bis[D-Galacturonate] is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided and the product can be supplied to meet various standards, including potential food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
