Cellulose is an organic compound, a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to over ten thousand β(1→4) linked D-glucose units. Cellulose is used as bulking agent, opacifier, anti-caking agent, extrusion aid and stabilizer for foams and emulsions. High purity…

Dextran is a high molecular weight polymer of anhydroglucose. It is composed of approximately 95% alpha-D-(1-->6) linkages. Dextrans with molecular weights greater than 10,000 behave as if they are highly branched. As the molecular weight increases, dextran molecules attain greater symmetry.…

Raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFOs) are alpha-galactosyl derivatives of sucrose, and the most common are the trisaccharide raffinose. It composed of galactose, fructose, and glucose. Raffinose is hydrolysed to D-galactose and sucrose by D-galactosidase.

Alginic Acid, Sodium Salt is a gelling polysaccharide extracted from giant brown seaweed. It is a straight chain, colloidal, polyuronic acid composed mainly of anhydro-b-D-mannuronic acid residues linked in the 1---->4 position. Alginic acid sodium is a gelling and nontoxic anionic…

Ultra-high purity, double crystallized to remove any remaining inorganic and organic contamination. Produces a clear colorless solution. Used for cultivating protoplasts and "in vitro" multiplication of plant tissue.

Grade: Biotech Storage: RT CAS No.: 56-81-5

Chitin is a cellulose-like biopolymer consisting predominantly of unbranched chains of b-(1->4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (also named N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) residues. It is found in fungi, yeasts, marine invertebrates and arthropods, where it is a principal component in the exoskeletons.…

Fructose, or fruit sugar, is a simple monosaccharide found in many plants. It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion. Fructose is a 6-carbon polyhydroxyketone. It is an isomer of glucose which…

β-D-Glucose is critical for production of proteins and the lipid metabolism. β-D-Glucose is a main source of energy for living organisms and is combined into glucosides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides (cellulose and starch), and glycogen. D-Glucose, a naturally…

D-Sorbitol is one of the 6 carbon sugar alcohols. It can be obtained by reduction of glucose, changing the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group. D-Sorbitol may be used for washing spheroplasts and in isoelectric focusing to minimize endoosmotic flow in agarose gels. It may also be used to induce…
