Physicochemical Properties of Oligosaccharides
Oligosaccharides are a type of carbohydrate that consists of a chain of 3 up to 10 monosaccharides connected by glycosidic bonds. Those carbohydrates are procured by isolation from natural resources, including milk, vegetables, and fruits, and by chemical or biotechnological processes. Oligosaccharides are classified into digestible or non-digestible according to their physiological effects. Besides, compared to mono- and disaccharides, oligosaccharides with higher molecular weights exhibit greater viscosity in solution. The stability of oligosaccharides is influenced by factors such as the composition of sugar residues, the form of the ring, the anomeric configuration, and the types of linkage. In general, β-linkages are stronger than α-linkages, and hexoses exhibit stronger linkages compared to pentoses.

Oligosaccharide Manufacture Service at CD BioGlyco
Oligosaccharides are extensively utilized in a range of industries, including food, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agrochemistry. Therefore, CD BioGlyco has developed scalable manufacturing methods for oligosaccharides.
Oligosaccharides are isolated from natural resources or synthesized by physical, chemical, or enzymatic methods. We generally produce oligosaccharides through hydrolysis of polysaccharides or synthesis from disaccharide substrates by enzymatic and chemical methods. In addition, we have various scientific and technological means to purify structurally uniform oligosaccharides from mixtures containing diverse oligosaccharides and contaminant monosaccharides. For example, Batch Chromatography, Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) Chromatography, and Microbial Purification/Selective Fermentation are effective means to acquire high-purity oligosaccharides. We offer a comprehensive range of Technologies for Oligosaccharide Manufacture services, meeting various needs and requirements.
