Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are organic compounds formed by the union of multiple monomers, which are joined together by glycosidic bonds to create large and often branched molecules. These complex carbohydrates play crucial roles in various biological functions, including energy storage, structural support, and cell-cell communication. In this section, you will find a diverse range of polysaccharides essential for research in biochemistry, molecular biology, and glycoscience. These compounds are vital for studying metabolic pathways, cell wall structures, and the therapeutic potential of carbohydrates. At CymitQuimica, we provide high-quality polysaccharides to support your scientific research, ensuring precision and reliability in your experimental outcomes.

CAS:The sugar component consists of alternating residues of β-(1,4) linked N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid. A peptide chain of three to five amino acids is attached to the N-acetylmuramic acid. The peptide chain can be cross-linked to the peptide chain of another strand forming the 3D mesh-like layer.Color and Shape:PowderChitosan (5-20mPa·s, 0.5% in 0.5% Acetic Acid at 20°C)
CAS:Color and Shape:White to Yellow powder to crystalDextran sulfate sodium salt - MW 500,000
CAS:Dextran sulphate is a dextran derivative whose ulcer (colitis) -causing properties were first reported in hamsters and extrapolated a few years later to mice and rats. The exact mechanisms through which dextran sulphate induces intestinal inflammation are unclear but may be the result of direct damage of the monolayer of epithelial cells in the colon, leading to the crossing of intestinal contents (for e.g. commensal bacteria and their products) into underlying tissue and therefore induction of inflammation. The dextran sulphate sodium induced ulceration model in laboratory animals has some advantages, when compared to other animal models of colitis, due to its simplicity and similarities to human inflammatory bowel disease.Formula:C9H11NO2Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White PowderArabinan
CAS:Sugar beet arabinan consists of a 1,5 α-linked arabinose backbone to which 1,3 α-linked (and possibly some 1,2 α-linked) L-arabinofuranosyl residues are attached. Approximately 60% of the main-chain arabinofuranosyl residues are substituted by single 1,3-linked arabinofuranosyl groups. The reducing terminal arabinosyl residue is attached through rhamnose to fragments of the rhamnogalacturonan backbone of the native pectin molecule.Color and Shape:White PowderLevan - from Erwinia herbicola
CAS:Levan is a (2,6)-linked fructan produced by Erwinia herbicola. The polysaccharide contains branches every 10-12 fructose residues linked (1,2) and is reported to have a molecular weight in excess of 1000 KDa. Potential industrial applications of levan have been proposed as an emulsifier, formulation aid, stabilizer and thickener, surface-finishing agent, encapsulating agent, and carrier for flavor and fragrances. In addition, levan is promising in medicine as a plasma substitute, drug activity prolongator and antihyperlipidemic agent.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:Powderβ-D-Glucan, 70%, from Oat

CAS:Chitin is a polysaccharide which is found widely in nature, where it functions in a manner similar to collagen in chordates. It forms the tough fibrous exoskeletons of insects, crustaceans and other arthropods, and, in addition to its presence in some fungi, it occurs in at least one alga. The structure of chitin is similar to that of cellulose but with glucose replaced with N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl units linked β-D-(1,4) in a linear chain. It is normally produced from the shells of lobster, crab or shrimp.Color and Shape:PowderCarboxymethyl chitosan (10 - 80 cps), suitable for microbiology

CAS:Tamarind gum comes from the seed of the tamarind tree Tamarindus indica and is used in the food industry as a stabiliser and an emulsifier. It has been suggested that the structure is a main chain of cellulose with frequent branching at the O-6 positions with short side chains of one or two D-xylopyranosyl capped with D-xylopyranosyl, D-galactopyranosyl or L-arabinofuranosyl units. In application, tamarind finds use in the sizing of jute and as a stabilizer and thickener in the food industry.Color and Shape:PowderHyaluronic acid sodium salt, m.w. 1.0MDa, Ph. Eur. grade, low endotoxin
CAS:Formula:(C14H20NNaO11)nPurity:95.0 - 105.0 % (dried basis)Color and Shape:White to almost white powder, hygroscopicHM Pectin
CAS:Pectins are regarded as linear chains of α-1,4-linked D-galacturonic acid, a homogalacturonan (pectic acid). In the products of commerce, the degree of methylation has a vital influence on the properties of pectin, especially the solubility and gel forming characteristics. Commercial high methoxy (HM) pectin has > 70% of hydroxyl groups methyl esterified. HM pectin forms gels in the presence of sucrose and for this reason it is used in jams often in combination with other fruits.Purity:(%) Min. 85%Color and Shape:PowderFluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran - Average MW 20,000
