Description

Glucorhamnan is a high-purity polysaccharide derived from natural sources, valued for its unique rheological and stabilizing properties. This compound is essential for formulators seeking natural, multifunctional ingredients to enhance product performance and texture. It is particularly critical for industries requiring precise control over viscosity, emulsion stability, and moisture management in their final products.

Application

• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a binder, disintegrant, and controlled-release matrix former in tablet formulations.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a natural thickener, stabilizer, and film-forming agent in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Food & Beverage: Serves as a dietary fiber supplement, texturizer, and stabilizer in functional foods and beverages.
• Nutraceuticals: Incorporated into capsules and powder blends for its potential prebiotic and health-promoting benefits.
• Industrial Applications: Acts as a bio-based thickener and rheology modifier in specialty coatings and adhesives.
• Research & Development: Utilized as a standard or reagent in biochemical and pharmaceutical research studies.

Quality Control

Our Glucorhamnan is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and microbiological quality. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

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 nature, protect from moisture and store under conditions that minimize exposure to humid air to prevent caking and maintain stability.
