Description

Magnesium Bisgalacturonate is a specialized metal-organic complex derived from galacturonic acid, a key component of pectin. This compound is valued for its role as a bioavailable source of magnesium and its functional properties as a stabilizer and gelling agent. It serves critical functions in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for mineral supplementation, as well as in the food sector for texture modification. Global B2B buyers rely on our supply for consistent quality and reliable material traceability from a trusted manufacturer.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient & Mineral Supplement: Used in tablet and capsule formulations as a source of bioavailable magnesium and a binder/disintegrant.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement: A key ingredient in magnesium supplements, functional foods, and beverages for its chelated form, which may enhance absorption.
• Food Additive & Stabilizer: Functions as a gelling agent, thickener, and stabilizer in jams, jellies, dairy products, and low-sugar confectionery.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Employed in skincare formulations for its potential skin-conditioning and stabilizing properties.
• Biomedical Research: Used as a reagent in biochemical studies related to pectin metabolism, metal chelation, and cell wall research.
• Technical & Industrial Applications: May serve in niche areas such as water treatment or as a precursor for other chemical syntheses.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Bisgalacturonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and heavy metal content. We can supply material compliant with relevant standards for food (FCC) and pharmaceutical (USP/EP) applications upon request. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
