Hemicellulose Characterization Service

Precision and Expertise: Leading Marine Plant Hemicellulose Analysis Service

At CD BioGlyco, we are deeply involved in the in-depth analysis and application development of marine biological resources. Marine Carbohydrate Characterization Services constitute the cornerstone of our service system. This comprehensive service aims to fully reveal the mysteries of the complex molecules that are indispensable in the field of marine carbohydrates. Within this broad service framework, Marine Plant Polysaccharide Characterization Service is a key branch that focuses on the detailed analysis of polysaccharide components in marine plants.

Hemicellulose characterization service is a high-end analytical service tailored for clients in scientific research institutions, biotechnology companies, food processing, and environmental protection fields. We use Advanced Biotechnology and Analytical Methods to conduct a comprehensive and systematic characterization of hemicellulose extracted from marine plants, providing clients with accurate and reliable data support.

Chemical Structure Characterization

  • Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR): We analyze the functional groups and chemical bond types of hemicellulose by measuring the absorption spectrum of the sample in the infrared light region.
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR): We use high-resolution NMR techniques, such as 1H NMR and 13C NMR, to further analyze the molecular structure of hemicellulose, including detailed information such as glycosidic bond type, substituent position, and conformation.

Physical Property Characterization

  • Gel permeation chromatography (GPC): We use GPC or MS to determine the molecular weight distribution of hemicellulose. Through GPC and MS analysis, we understand the size of hemicellulose molecules and their distribution range, providing a basis for evaluating their performance in different applications.
  • Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA): We use TGA to study the mass change of hemicellulose during heating and evaluate its thermal stability and thermal decomposition behavior.

Functional Property Evaluation

  • Bioactivity test: We further study the antioxidant, antibacterial, immunomodulatory, and other biological activities of hemicellulose to evaluate its application prospects in medicine, food, and other fields.
  • Determination of physical properties such as solubility and viscosity: We experimentally determine the solubility, viscosity, and other physical properties of hemicellulose to provide data support for its application as a thickener and stabilizer.

Results: The authors aimed to determine the structure of polysaccharides in the cell wall of brown algae Cladosiphon okamuranus. To achieve this, they fractionated the cell wall into five distinct parts: hot water (HW), ammonium oxalate, hemicellulose-I (HC–I), HC-II, and cellulose. Their findings indicated that nearly 80% of the total cell wall, recovered from the alcohol-insoluble residue of C. okamuranus, was composed of HW and HC-I.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the characteristics and effects of marine hemicellulose?

As an important component of the cell wall of marine plants, marine hemicellulose has unique physical and chemical properties. Its characteristics include but are not limited to high hydrophilicity, good degradability, and rich functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl. These functional groups enable marine hemicellulose to form a hydrogen bond network in solution, giving it good water retention and stability.

What kind of samples do I need to prepare for analysis?

In order to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the analysis, we recommend that you provide fresh, dry, and uncontaminated marine plant samples or extracted hemicellulose samples. The samples should maintain their original chemical and physical properties as much as possible to avoid deterioration during collection, transportation, and storage. Our service team will communicate and confirm the specific sample requirements in detail after you place an order.

At CD BioGlyco, clients can receive a detailed, accurate, and comprehensive analysis tailored to research and development needs by using our hemicellulose characterization service. We bring together advanced technology, skilled technicians, and thorough methods to provide clients with the data essential for understanding and utilizing marine hemicelluloses.
