Description

Maltodecaose CAS NO 37331-89-8 is a well-defined oligosaccharide composed of ten glucose units linked primarily by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. This product serves as a valuable, standardized carbohydrate reference material and functional ingredient, offering consistent molecular weight and structural properties. It is essential for research and development laboratories, pharmaceutical formulators, and food scientists requiring precise carbohydrate substrates for analytical calibration, metabolic studies, and controlled-release applications.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a primary standard in HPLC, GPC, and mass spectrometry for the calibration and quantification of complex carbohydrate mixtures.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Functions as a controlled-release agent, stabilizer, or bulking agent in solid dosage formulations and biopharmaceutical processes.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a specific substrate for enzyme kinetics studies (e.g., amylases, glucosidases) and investigations into carbohydrate metabolism and digestion.
• Food Science & Nutrition: Acts as a prebiotic fiber candidate and a model compound for studying starch digestion, glycemic response, and functional food properties.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Employed as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent in personal care products due to its moisture-binding characteristics.

Quality Control

Our Maltodecaose is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, reporting key parameters such as assay (by HPLC), optical rotation, water content, and residual solvents. We support compliance with relevant guidelines for research and pharmaceutical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Ensure the container is sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect purity and stability.
