Description

Chitosan Oligosaccharide Lactate

Chitosan Oligosaccharide Lactate is a low molecular weight, water-soluble derivative of Chitosan formed by controlled depolymerization and subsequent salt formation with Lactic Acid. It is used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biomedical applications where enhanced solubility, bioavailability, and biological interaction are required compared to high molecular weight Chitosan.
Chitosan Oligosaccharide Lactate appears as a white to pale yellow powder that is freely soluble in water, forming clear solutions. The reduced polymer chain length and lactate counterion significantly improve aqueous solubility while retaining the cationic character and biological functionality of Chitosan.
In pharmaceutical and research applications, Chitosan Oligosaccharide Lactate is used in:
• Oral and topical drug delivery systems
• Nutraceutical formulations supporting immune and gut health
• Wound care and tissue regeneration research
• Antimicrobial and bioactive delivery platforms
• Encapsulation and stabilization of sensitive active ingredients
• Studies involving cellular uptake and polysaccharide bioactivity
Chitosan Oligosaccharide Lactate functions by providing enhanced interaction with biological membranes, improved permeability, and bioadhesive properties while maintaining low viscosity and ease of processing. The lactate salt contributes to physiological compatibility and formulation flexibility.
