Pure Innovation in Mannoglucan Production
CD BioGlyco provides a wide range of Marine Carbohydrate Production Services including marine glycoconjugates from Plants, Animals, and Microbial, drawing on years of experience and expertise. Our team is dedicated to delivering the most comprehensive mannoglucan production solutions for our clients, utilizing cutting-edge research and technology to ensure the highest quality results.
Extraction
- We provide mannoglucan extraction service based on the Organic Solvent Extraction method. After selecting mannoglucan-rich marine plants and carrying out pretreatment such as cleaning, drying, and crushing, we select suitable organic solvents to carry out solvent extraction under optimized temperature and time. The mannoglucan-containing solution is separated by filtration or centrifugation and the organic solvent is recovered using a rotary evaporator to obtain a concentrated mannoglucan solution. Subsequently, we precipitate the mannoglucan by adjusting the pH or adding precipitant, followed by washing and purification, and the purified mannoglucan precipitate is freeze-dried or vacuum-dried to obtain the solid product.
- Our experts assist in the Enzymatic Extraction of mannoglucan from marine plants by carefully selecting polysaccharide-rich material and conducting pre-treatments such as washing and milling. After that, we choose the suitable enzymes (e.g. cellulase) to perform the reaction under optimal temperature and pH conditions. The resulting mannoglucan solution is then purified after separation by filtration or centrifugation, with the solid product being produced through drying. We rigorously control and optimize enzymatic conditions to ensure high efficiency and purity of mannoglucan extraction.
Characterization
We characterize the structural composition, purity, and molecular weight distribution of the extracted mannoglucan and other properties according to your needs through a variety of techniques and methods.

Results: This article focuses on the isolation and structural characterization of a novel antioxidant mannan from the marine foam snail. The researchers isolated mannoglucan from Bullacta exarata by extraction and purification and structurally characterized it by techniques such as NMR and mass spectrometry. The results showed that this mannan has strong antioxidant activity and may have potential medicinal value. This study provides an important reference for further research and development of natural antioxidants from marine biological resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is mannoglucan?
Mannoglucan is a polysaccharide, a polymer composed of mannan and glucan units. It is commonly found in nature and can be extracted from a variety of sources, including in the cell walls of certain fungi, bacteria, algae, and plants. Mannoglucan is of interest because of its biological activity and a variety of applications and is commonly used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agriculture.
How is the stability of mannoglucan?
The stability of mannoglucan is influenced by various factors, including its neutral to weakly acidic nature, as well as the avoidance of excessive temperatures and prolonged exposure to bright light. As a result, mannoglucan maintains good stability.
