D-Glucosamine Sulfate (White Crystalline Powder, Water Soluble)

Cat No:CHCH-0029

Description

D-glucosamine sulfate is a marine derived amino sugar presented as a white crystalline powder with a slightly sweet taste and no odour. It dissolves freely in water, is only sparingly soluble in methanol and is insoluble in ethanol, and it is used in dietary supplement, functional food and food ingredient formulations as well as an intermediate raw material.

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, joint care products, functional food, food ingredients
Recommended Applications	Dietary supplement and joint care formulations, functional food ingredients, food raw and auxiliary materials, intermediate raw material
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	Sulfuric acid salt of the marine derived amino sugar D-glucosamine
Structural Unit	Monosaccharide glucosamine unit stabilised in its sulfate salt form
Functional Groups	Primary amine together with the four ring hydroxyls of the glucopyranose structure
Ionic Character	Amine is present as ammonium sulfate, which explains the free water solubility of the product
Key Features	White crystalline powder giving a clear and colourless aqueous solution at typical use levels
Functional Benefits	Supplies both glucosamine and sulfate, the two species naturally found in cartilage glycosaminoglycans
Mechanism of Action	Feeds the glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis pathways involved in maintaining healthy joint cartilage
Typical End Products	Joint care capsules and tablets, functional food ingredients, nutraceutical premix blends
Formulation Compatibility	Commonly paired with chondroitin sulfate, methylsulphonylmethane, collagen peptides and standard excipients
Preparation & Dissolution Guidance	Dissolves rapidly in water with gentle stirring and requires no heating during preparation
Reactivity & Derivatization	Reducing end chemistry permits further conjugation, although this needs carefully controlled conditions
Stability Notes	Very hygroscopic, which is why stabilised grades use potassium or sodium chloride to limit moisture uptake
Usage Precautions	Declare the shellfish origin on finished labels so consumers with crustacean allergy can avoid the product
Environmental Profile	Biodegradable small molecule produced from chitin recovered out of crustacean shell waste
Analytical Methods	Assay by HPLC; sulfate content by ion chromatography; specific rotation measured by polarimetry
