Dextran

Description:
Dextran is a complex branched polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked primarily by α(1→6) glycosidic bonds, with occasional α(1→3) linkages. It is produced by certain bacteria, such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and is commonly used in various applications due to its biocompatibility and non-toxicity. Dextran is soluble in water, forming a viscous solution, and exhibits a high molecular weight, which can vary depending on the source and method of production. Its properties include being a stabilizer, thickening agent, and a medium for drug delivery in pharmaceuticals. Additionally, dextran is utilized in the food industry as a food additive and in medical applications, such as in blood volume expanders and as a component in diagnostic tests. Its ability to form gels and its low immunogenicity make it valuable in biotechnology and research. Overall, dextran's versatility and safety profile contribute to its widespread use across multiple fields.
