Description

Amylopectin, Phosphate CAS NO 63055-37-8 is a chemically modified starch derivative where phosphate groups are introduced onto the amylopectin polymer backbone. This modification significantly enhances its functionality, particularly its thickening, stabilizing, and gelling properties in aqueous systems. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for industries requiring precise rheological control and improved texture in their formulations, such as food science, pharmaceuticals, and advanced material manufacturing.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as a superior thickener, stabilizer, and texturizer in sauces, gravies, soups, and dairy products, providing a smooth mouthfeel and excellent freeze-thaw stability.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as a binder and disintegrant in tablet formulations, and as a viscosity-enhancing agent in topical gels and creams.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a non-irritating thickener and emulsion stabilizer in lotions, creams, and hair care products.
• Technical & Industrial Applications: Acts as a biodegradable adhesive component, a sizing agent in paper and textile manufacturing, and a rheology modifier in water-based paints and coatings.
• Biomedical Research: Utilized as a substrate or matrix material in tissue engineering scaffolds and controlled drug delivery systems due to its modified physicochemical properties.

Quality Control

Our Amylopectin, Phosphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for parameters such as degree of substitution, viscosity, pH, and residual phosphate content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, and we can support compliance with relevant standards such as FCC for food grade or in-house pharmaceutical specifications upon request.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance.
