D-Glucan

D-Glucan (CAS 9012-72-0 ), also known as D-Glucosan, is a naturally derived polysaccharide sourced from plant, fungal, or microbial origins. It functions as a rheology modifier and moisture-retention agent across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care formulations. In food and nutrition, it is incorporated into functional foods, dietary supplements, and fiber-enriched products where it contributes to texture and viscosity control. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a binder and film-forming agent in solid dosage forms. It also serves as an excipient in controlled-release tablet systems. Personal care formulators incorporate it into moisturizing creams, serums, and lotions where its humectant properties support water retention in the skin matrix. In agriculture and animal feed, it is used as a functional additive to support gut health and palatability in feed formulations. This versatile polysaccharide is available as a fine powder and in soluble granule forms suited to both dry blending and aqueous processing. Standard grades include food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade material, with specifications aligned to FCC and USP standards depending on the application. Purity levels and molecular weight profiles vary by source. Oat, yeast, and barley-derived grades are the most commercially prevalent. These variations allow for precise selection based on the specific viscosity and solubility requirements of the final product formulation. Contact us for supply of D-Glucan Request Quote
