Description

Xylan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide primarily composed of xylose units, widely recognized for its role as a major component of hemicellulose in plant cell walls. This biopolymer is valued for its unique rheological properties, biodegradability, and ability to form films and gels, making it a versatile material for advanced industrial applications. Key industries that utilize Xylan CAS NO 9014-63-5 include food technology, pharmaceuticals, and bio-based materials development, where it serves as a stabilizer, thickener, and functional additive.

Application

• As a dietary fiber and prebiotic in functional food and nutraceutical formulations.
• Used in pharmaceutical excipients for controlled drug release and tablet binding.
• As a thickening and stabilizing agent in food products, sauces, and beverages.
• In the production of biodegradable films and coatings for packaging applications.
• As a rheology modifier in cosmetic and personal care products.
• In biomedical research for hydrogel and tissue engineering scaffolds.
• As a feed additive to improve gut health in animal nutrition.
• For the enzymatic production of xylooligosaccharides (XOS), high-value prebiotic ingredients.

Quality Control

Our Xylan is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, composition, and functionality. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as sugar composition, moisture content, and microbial limits is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with relevant standards for food, pharmaceutical, and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, store in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. Keep the container tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
