Description

Scleroglucan

Scleroglucan is a high-purity, water-soluble beta-glucan polysaccharide used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and industrial applications for its rheological, stabilizing, and bioactive properties. Produced by fermentation of Sclerotium rolfsii, it forms viscous solutions and gels, making it ideal for controlled-release systems, topical formulations, and immune-supporting applications. Scleroglucan
• Is a water-soluble beta-glucan polymer with stabilizing and viscosity-enhancing properties
• Is used in oral, topical, injectable, and industrial formulations
• Supports suspension stability, gel formation, and bioactive delivery
• Is suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Scleroglucan is chemically a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide consisting of Glucose units connected by beta-1,3 and beta-1,6 glycosidic bonds. It appears as a white to off-white powder, readily dispersible in water to form viscous solutions suitable for various formulation needs.
In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, Scleroglucan is used in:
• Oral dosage forms and nutritional supplements to stabilize and deliver active compounds
• Injectable solutions and parenteral formulations for bioactive polysaccharide delivery
• Topical gels, creams, and cosmetics for rheological control and moisture retention
• Controlled-release matrices and hydrogels for drug delivery
• Research and clinical studies investigating immune modulation and wound healing
Scleroglucan improves formulation stability, enhances viscosity, and supports bioavailability of actives. Its biocompatibility, low toxicity, and water-solubility make it suitable for both therapeutic and cosmetic applications.
CarboMer supplies Scleroglucan with control over molecular weight, viscosity, purity, and microbial content. The material is suitable for laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale applications.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation including CoA and SDS are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR, NMR), molecular weight, polysaccharide content, solubility, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer functional and bioactive polysaccharides, Scleroglucan is supported by formulation expertise, regulatory guidance, and reliable global supply to ensure safe, effective, and compliant pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic products.
