Description

Succinylated Gelatin CAS NO 39340-57-3 is a chemically modified protein derivative where gelatin undergoes succinylation, introducing additional carboxyl groups to its structure. This modification significantly enhances its solubility, stability, and functional properties, making it a superior alternative to native gelatin in demanding applications. It is a critical functional biopolymer for industries requiring high-performance stabilizers, emulsifiers, and film-forming agents, particularly in pharmaceutical formulations, advanced food technology, and biomedical research.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a stabilizer, viscosity modifier, and microencapsulation agent in injectable formulations, plasma expanders, and controlled-release drug delivery systems.
• Food Industry: Functions as an emulsifier, foaming agent, and texturizer in confectionery, dairy products, and low-fat spreads, improving mouthfeel and shelf-life.
• Biomedical & Tissue Engineering: Serves as a biocompatible matrix or scaffold material for cell culture, wound dressings, and hydrogel development due to its enhanced mechanical and cell-adhesive properties.
• Microencapsulation: An effective wall material for the encapsulation of sensitive bioactive compounds, flavors, oils, and probiotics, protecting them from environmental degradation.
• Photographic & Technical Coatings: Employed in the production of specialized photographic films and coatings where a clear, tough, and adherent protein layer is required.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as a film-forming agent and conditioner in hair care products, skin creams, and masks, providing a smooth, non-tacky finish.

Quality Control

Our Succinylated Gelatin is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, functionality, and safety. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail parameters such as degree of substitution, viscosity, pH, residual solvents, and microbiological quality. Production can be aligned with cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical applications 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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
