Natural Oligosaccharides [Functional Oligosaccharides]

Natural Oligosaccharides [Functional Oligosaccharides] — covers natural oligosaccharides formed by short polymerization of sugar units such as xylose, glucose, and N-acetylglucosamine, including xylobiose, cellobiose, and series of chitooligosaccharides with varying degrees of acetylation. This group represents functional carbohydrates found in plant cell walls, fungi, and crustaceans.

Natural Oligosaccharides are used by food functionality and biochemistry researchers as test materials for prebiotics, substrates for characterizing polysaccharide-degrading enzymes, and reference standards in sugar composition analysis in microbiology research. Chitooligosaccharide and cellooligosaccharide derivatives are also used as models in structure-function studies of short-chain carbohydrates for developing next-generation biopolymer materials and functional foods.

Example products in this collection: TCI X0067 6860-47-5 Xylobiose, TCI C0056 528-50-7 D-(+)-Cellobiose, TCI X0065 512-66-3 Xylosucrose, TCI C2642 117436-78-9 Chitotriose Trihydrochloride, TCI T2912 38864-21-0 N,N',N''-Triacetylchitotriose, TCI C2644 2240-27-9 Cellopentaose, TCI T2910 2706-65-2 N,N',N'',N'''-Tetraacetylchitotetraose, TCI C2762 Chitin Oligosaccharides (contains N-Acetylglucosamine).

Pay attention to the degree of polymerization, purity level, and chemical form such as acetylation or hydrochloride, as these characteristics determine the suitability of the compound for enzymatic assays and carbohydrate composition analysis. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
