Product Information

• Name: 1-Amino-1-deoxy-D-galactitol hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Amino-1-deoxy-D-galactitol hydrochloride is a natural polymer that is found in many organisms, including bacteria and fungi. It can be obtained by enzymatic conversion of galactose, which is an epimer of glucose. 1-Amino-1-deoxy-D-galactitol hydrochloride has been shown to have viscosity properties that are similar to those of natural polymers. This compound also has the ability to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. 1-Amino-1-deoxy-D-galactitol hydrochloride is produced by chemoenzymatic reactions and can be used as a substitute for natural polymers in certain applications (e.g., food industry).
