Description

Avenin is a prolamin storage protein primarily found in oats, known for its unique amino acid profile and functional properties. This high-purity protein is essential for research and development in the life sciences and specialty nutrition sectors. It serves as a critical raw material for scientists and manufacturers in the food technology, nutraceutical, and biochemical research industries.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a model protein in studies of cereal protein structure, function, and allergenicity.
• Food Science & Technology: Investigated for its functional properties, such as foaming, emulsification, and gelation, in novel food product development.
• Specialty Nutrition: Serves as a high-quality, plant-based protein component in specialized dietary formulations and clinical nutrition products.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in the development of immunoassays and test kits for the detection of oat-specific allergens or gluten-related components.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Explored for its potential as a biodegradable polymer or carrier in controlled drug delivery systems.
• Agricultural Science: Studied to understand seed storage protein expression and its impact on crop nutritional quality.

Quality Control

Our Avenin is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity suitable for research applications. Each lot is analyzed for key parameters including protein content and purity profile. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and relevant specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions.
