Description

Rhamnogalacturonan - From Potato is a specific, high-purity polysaccharide derived from potato pectin, characterized by its unique rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) backbone structure. This compound is valued for its functional properties as a bioactive dietary fiber and a versatile hydrocolloid with significant applications in advanced food and nutraceutical formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the functional food, dietary supplement, and cosmetic industries for its prebiotic, texturizing, and film-forming capabilities.

Application

• Functional Food & Nutraceuticals: Used as a prebiotic dietary fiber to support gut health and as a texturizing agent in high-fiber food products.
• Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into capsule, tablet, or powder formulations for its bioactive and health-promoting properties.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Serves as a natural film-forming agent, moisturizer, and texture enhancer in skincare and haircare products.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Potential use as a stabilizer, binder, or controlled-release matrix in drug delivery systems.
• Research & Development: Employed as a standard or reagent in biochemical, nutritional, and pharmacological studies.
• Animal Nutrition: Investigated for use in premium feed formulations to promote animal digestive health.

Quality Control

Our Rhamnogalacturonan - From Potato is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as polysaccharide content, monosaccharide profile, and microbiological limits. We adhere to relevant standards for food-grade and nutraceutical ingredients, ensuring product safety and traceability.

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 tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
