Description

Phosphomannan CAS NO 9044-08-0 is a phosphorylated polysaccharide derived from yeast cell walls, primarily from the genus *Candida*. This modified biopolymer is valued for its unique rheological properties and ability to interact with metal ions, making it a functional ingredient in various industrial and research applications. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors for its role as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and bioactive carrier.

Application

• Food Industry: Used as a texture modifier, stabilizer, and emulsifier in sauces, dressings, and dairy products to improve mouthfeel and shelf-life.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Acts as an excipient in controlled-release drug delivery systems and as a stabilizer in liquid and semi-solid dosage forms.
• Biotechnology & Research: Employed in cell culture media and as a component in affinity chromatography for protein purification.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a thickening agent and film-former in lotions, creams, and hair care products.
• Industrial Processes: Serves as a bio-based flocculant or chelating agent in water treatment and mineral processing applications.
