Carbohydrates are the most abundant biological macromolecules on earth and mainly exist in nature in the form of polysaccharides such as cellulose and starch. Hexoses, which are monosaccharides containing six carbon atoms, are also important components of these polysaccharides. Glucose and fructose are representative hexoses. They are the most common monosaccharides in nature and the simplest form of carbohydrates that cannot be further hydrolyzed into smaller subunits. Thus, one major function of monosaccharides is to serve as building blocks for more complex carbohydrates of structural composition. In living organisms, monosaccharides are also the main substances for generating and storing energy. Most living organisms can generate energy by breaking down monosaccharides and harvesting the energy released from the bonds.
CD BioGlyco is a biomaterials manufacturer integrating basic research and development, production, and sales. We focus on the process development of natural monosaccharides mainly including glucose, fructose, and psicose, especially the extraction and purification of monosaccharides and the isomerization technology of monosaccharides. The monosaccharide production process we have constructed produces target monosaccharides through various technologies such as Chemical Depolymerization, Isomerization, Microbial Fermentation, or Chemical Production. Our annual output of glucose series products is 300,000 tons. These products are used in industries such as downstream biomedicine, microbial fermentation, health food, cosmetics, antibiotic-free feed, and biofertilizer.

Glucose, also known as corn glucose and corn sugar, is the most widely distributed and most important monosaccharide in nature. We use starch as raw material to obtain glucose through liquefaction, saccharification, and other steps, which are used in candy, beverage, dairy products, medicine, and other industries.
Fructose is a starch sugar crystal produced by hydrolysis and isomerization of plant starch and is an important sweetener. We process the glucose produced by starch hydrolysis through isomerization, separation, refining, crystallization, and other steps to produce high-purity fructose. They are suitable for low-sugar and reduced-sugar foods, beverages, and health products.
Psicose is a rare sugar that occurs naturally in nature and is a new type of functional sweetener. We use edible glucose as raw material to produce high-concentration fructose liquid through major processes such as sugar melting, isomerization, and chromatographic separation, and then undergo enzymatic conversion, refining, and filling to produce psicose.
