Description

Xyloglucan is a high molecular weight polysaccharide derived from plant cell walls, primarily composed of a β-(1→4)-linked glucan backbone with xylose side chains. This unique structure provides exceptional water-binding, thickening, and stabilizing properties, making it a valuable functional biopolymer. It is essential for formulators and researchers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries seeking natural, biocompatible hydrocolloids for advanced applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a bioadhesive polymer in controlled-release drug delivery systems, nasal sprays, and ophthalmic solutions.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Functions as a natural thickener, film-former, and moisturizing agent in creams, lotions, serums, and hair care products.
• Food Science & Research: Employed as a texture modifier, stabilizer, and dietary fiber in functional food products and nutritional studies.
• Biomedical Research: Serves as a scaffold material in tissue engineering and wound healing applications due to its biocompatibility and gel-forming ability.
• Plant Biology Studies: Utilized as a standard or reagent in research focused on plant cell wall structure and metabolism.

Quality Control

Our Xyloglucan is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and functionality. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as viscosity, pH, microbial limits, and heavy metal content are available upon request.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
