Quality Control

Our Maltobionic Acid is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer grades suitable for cosmetic, food, and technical applications, with specifications aligned to industry requirements. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to caking or degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
