Description

Lacto-n-Fucopentaose V is a structurally defined human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) with the CAS registry number 60254-64-0. This high-purity compound is a critical reference standard and active ingredient for advanced nutritional and biomedical research. It is essential for manufacturers and research institutions focused on infant formula development, glycomics, and the study of gut microbiota and immune modulation.

Application

• Infant Nutrition Research & Development: As a key human milk oligosaccharide, it is used in the formulation and fortification of next-generation infant formulas to mimic the bioactivity of human milk.
• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for the identification and quantification of HMOs in complex biological matrices.
• Glycobiology & Biochemical Research: Utilized in studies investigating cell-cell communication, microbial adhesion, and host-pathogen interactions due to its specific fucosylated structure.
• Prebiotic & Probiotic Synbiotic Formulations: Applied in the development of functional foods and dietary supplements aimed at promoting a healthy gut microbiome.
• Diagnostic Kit Development: Used in the production of reagents and kits for the detection and analysis of carbohydrate-based biomarkers.
