Frequently Asked Questions
What is beta-D-glucan 80% powder used for?
Beta-D-glucan (CAS 9051-97-2) is a naturally occurring glucose polysaccharide and soluble dietary fiber, supplied as an 80% powder. PubChem and CIR list beta-glucan as a cosmetic ingredient; beta-glucans are also used in dietary-supplement and functional-food applications. It is supplied in bulk to supplement, food, and personal-care manufacturers.
What does the 80% designation on beta-D-glucan powder mean?
It indicates the powder assays at a minimum of 80% beta-D-glucan content, with the balance being associated polysaccharides and moisture from the natural source. Confirm exact assay and source (e.g. yeast, oat, mushroom) against the lot CoA, as these affect specification.
Is beta-D-glucan water soluble?
Beta-D-glucan is described as a soluble dietary fiber; solubility depends on source, molecular weight, and linkage type (1,3 vs 1,4/1,6). The 80% powder is supplied for applications using its soluble-fiber function. Confirm solubility specs for your specific lot on the CoA.
What CAS number and molecular formula does beta-D-glucan carry?
CAS 9051-97-2, with the repeating-unit formula commonly written as C18H32O14. Because it is a natural polysaccharide, molecular weight varies by source. Request a lot-specific CoA and SDS to confirm assay, source, and GHS handling data.
What bulk packaging and MOQ are available for beta-D-glucan 80% powder?
It is supplied in bulk to supplement, food, and personal-care manufacturers; pack sizes and MOQ depend on source and stock, and pricing tracks volume, so we quote per order. Submit a bulk RFQ with your target volume and required source for a quote plus CoA and SDS.
