Cat No:CHCH-0028
D-glucosamine hydrochloride is a marine derived amino sugar supplied as a white crystalline powder with a slightly sweet taste. It is freely soluble in water, only sparingly soluble in methanol and insoluble in ethanol, and it is widely used as a raw material for dietary supplements, functional foods and as an intermediate for further synthesis.

| Allergen & Dietary Statement | Derived from crustacean shell (shrimp and crab); not suitable for shellfish-allergic consumers. Non-GMO, not irradiated |
| Intended Use | Raw material for further manufacturing |
| Target Industries | Dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, functional food, chemical intermediates |
| Recommended Applications | Dietary supplement and nutraceutical formulations, functional food ingredients, intermediate raw material for further synthesis |
| Appearance of Solution | Clear, colourless aqueous solution |
| Handling & Safety | Handle as a fine powdered material; avoid dust formation and wear gloves, mask and eye protection |
| Chemical Class | Amino monosaccharide hydrochloride, the salt form of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose |
| Structural Unit | A single glucosamine pyranose unit rather than a repeating polymeric chain |
| Functional Groups | One primary amine plus four hydroxyl groups carried on the pyranose ring |
| Ionic Character | Positively charged amino group paired with chloride, giving excellent water solubility |
| Key Features | Free flowing crystalline powder whose chloride content is fixed by the salt stoichiometry |
| Functional Benefits | Delivers more glucosamine per gram than most alternative salt forms used in supplements |
| Mechanism of Action | Acts as a substrate for glycosaminoglycan synthesis within cartilage matrix metabolism |
| Typical End Products | Joint care tablets and capsules, effervescent powders, functional food premixes |
| Formulation Compatibility | Compatible with chondroitin, methylsulphonylmethane, collagen and standard tableting excipients |
| Preparation & Dissolution Guidance | Dissolves quickly in water, needs no acid and produces no significant viscosity build |
| Reactivity & Derivatization | Reducing sugar reactivity can cause Maillard browning in protein rich blends stored over time |
| Stability Notes | Hygroscopic; prolonged exposure to humid air causes caking and slight darkening of colour |
| Usage Precautions | Shellfish derived material, so finished labels must clearly flag the crustacean origin for allergic consumers |
| Environmental Profile | Readily biodegradable small molecule with no bioaccumulation potential in aquatic systems |
| Analytical Methods | Assay by HPLC or titration; specific rotation by polarimetry; chloride by argentometric titration |
