Description

Fructosyl-Glycine is a key Amadori compound formed from the Maillard reaction between fructose and glycine. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers studying advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and their implications in food chemistry, metabolic processes, and aging. It serves as a critical reference standard and building block in biochemical research, pharmaceutical development, and the food science industry.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard and reagent in studies of the Maillard reaction, glycation pathways, and the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in metabolic disease research, particularly for diabetes, and in the development of AGE inhibitors.
• Food Science & Flavor Chemistry: Acts as a precursor for flavor and aroma compounds in processed foods, contributing to the study of thermal food processing.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Utilized in the development of assays and kits for detecting glycated proteins and related biomarkers.
• Cosmetic Research: Applied in anti-aging research to study the effects of glycation on skin proteins like collagen.
• Nutritional Science: Serves as a model compound to investigate dietary glycotoxins and their health impacts.

Quality Control

Our Fructosyl-Glycine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are available for every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
