Description

n-D-Gluconoyl-L-Glutamic Acid is a high-purity, multifunctional organic compound derived from the conjugation of gluconic acid and L-glutamic acid. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate and functional ingredient for advanced applications requiring biocompatibility and specific chemical reactivity. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for its role in synthesis, formulation, and as a potential chelating or moisturizing agent.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, prodrugs, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring specific chiral and functional group properties.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Functions as a skin-conditioning agent, humectant, or a precursor for mild, biodegradable surfactants and chelators in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Biodegradable Chelating Agent: Serves as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chelators like EDTA in various industrial and cleaning applications.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate, standard, or building block in enzymatic studies, peptide synthesis, and metabolic pathway research.
• Food-Grade Additive Precursor: Potential use in the development of flavor enhancers or sequestrants, subject to appropriate regulatory approvals and purity grades.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent for producing functionalized, water-soluble, or biodegradable polymers.

Quality Control

Our n-D-Gluconoyl-L-Glutamic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
