Polysaccharides [Glycoscience] — gathers natural polysaccharides and their modified derivatives, such as cellulose, alginate, chitin, xylan, and glycosaminoglycans. This category serves as long-chain carbohydrate polymers with a variety of functional properties.
Polysaccharides in this Glycoscience category are used as thickening, gel-forming, and stabilizing agents in experimental formulations, and as model substrates in research on carbohydrate-degrading enzymes and biomaterials. Derivatives such as carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium alginate are commonly used by polymer chemistry and biotechnology researchers to develop hydrogel systems and biopolymer-based materials.
Example products in this collection: TCI A0456 9037-22-3 Amylopectin (Amylose free), from Waxy Corn, TCI C0045 9004-32-4 Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium Salt (n=approx. 500), TCI A0205 9005-38-3 Sodium Alginate 100-200, TCI C0072 1398-61-4 Chitin, TCI X0078 9014-63-5 Xylan from Corn Core, TCI C0335 9082-07-9 Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium Salt, TCI X0048 11138-66-2 Xanthan Gum, TCI C0603 9004-32-4 Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium Salt (n=approx. 1,050).
Pay attention to the degree of polymerization or viscosity (expressed as the n value), the degree of substitution in modified derivatives, and the natural source of the polysaccharide, as these affect the consistency of physical properties. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
