Frequently Asked Questions
What is beta-glucan 65% powder used for?
Beta-glucan (CAS 51052-65-4) is a glucose polysaccharide supplied as a 65% powder. Beta-glucans are CIR-listed cosmetic ingredients and 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 65% designation on beta-glucan powder mean?
It indicates the powder assays at a minimum of 65% beta-glucan content, with the balance being associated polysaccharides and moisture from the natural source. Confirm exact assay and source against the lot CoA, as these drive specification differences.
What is the difference between the 65% and 80% beta-glucan powders?
The grades differ in beta-glucan assay (65% vs 80% minimum) and carry different CAS numbers (51052-65-4 vs 9051-97-2), reflecting source and processing. Higher-assay grades concentrate the active polysaccharide. Specify which assay grade you require on your RFQ.
What CAS number does beta-glucan 65% powder carry?
CAS 51052-65-4. As a natural glucose polysaccharide, molecular weight varies by source rather than a fixed molecular formula. Request a lot-specific CoA and SDS to confirm assay, source, and GHS handling data for your records.
What bulk packaging and pricing apply to beta-glucan 65% powder?
It is supplied in bulk to supplement, food, and personal-care manufacturers; pack sizes depend on stock and pricing tracks volume and source, so we quote per order. Submit a bulk RFQ with your target volume and required source for a quote plus CoA and SDS.
