Description

Pachyman is a high-purity, water-insoluble polysaccharide derived from the sclerotia of *Poria cocos* fungus. This natural β-(1→3)-D-glucan is valued for its unique biological activities and functional properties in advanced applications. It serves as a critical raw material for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries seeking natural immunomodulators and functional biopolymers. Pachyman CAS NO 9037-88-1 offers a reliable and consistent supply for formulation development and production.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a tablet binder, disintegrant, and controlled-release matrix former in solid dosage forms.
• Immunomodulatory Research: Serves as a key starting material for the study and development of immune-enhancing agents and adjuvants.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Incorporated into dietary supplements and functional foods for its potential health-supporting polysaccharide content.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a natural film-forming agent, texture enhancer, and moisturizing component in skincare products.
• Biomedical Materials: Investigated for use in wound dressings, hydrogel scaffolds, and other biomaterial applications due to its biocompatibility.
• Laboratory Reagent: Employed as a standard or substrate in biochemical and microbiological research.

Quality Control

Our Pachyman is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) upon request, detailing key parameters such as polysaccharide content, solubility, and microbial limits. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring traceability and reliable specifications.

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, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product performance.
