General description

Dextran (mol. wt. 410,000) belongs to the family of neutral polysaccharides, which are recognized as contaminants in sugar processing and other food production industries. These are composed of chains of D-glucose units connected by alpha-(1-6) linkages of varying lengths. They are found as bacterial extracellular polysaccharides and reportedly synthesized from sucrose by beneficial lactic acid bacteria, such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus brevis. They are incorporated in bakery products to improve the crumb texture, softness, and loaf volume, as stabilizers and additives in confectionery, flavor extract, icing compositions, beverages including soft drinks, milk, etc.

Application


  • Dextran in Drug Delivery: A study in "Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A" demonstrated how dextran, a biopolymer, enhances wound healing. It focused on collagen-polyurethane-dextran hydrogels, which inhibit inflammation and promote collagen fibrillogenesis, making dextran crucial for tissue engineering and medical applications (Aguayo-Morales et al., 2024).

  • Dextran as a Blood Plasma Expander: Research in "Redox Biology" highlighted the role of dextran in reducing systemic iron overload stress. This study provides insights into how dextran′s properties are beneficial for managing conditions like anemia and other blood volume deficiencies (Zhao et al., 2024).

  • Dextran in Cell Culture: An article in ""International Journal of Biological Macromolecules"" explored the use of dextran-based antibacterial hydrogels. These gels are used for fluorescent sensors in bioanalytical applications, showing dextran′s utility in cell culture and microbial monitoring (Bai et al., 2024).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
