OLIGO-SACCHARIDES
Learn more
Alpha Chitin has developed the ability to produce high quality / highly repeatable oligo-saccharides owing to the specific process used for adjustment and control of molecular weight of our final products. Our process respects most characteristics of the chitosan molecule, except for the molecular weight, and helps provide superior oligo-saccharides quality. Technical specifications fine tuned upon customer request.
Alpha Chitin manufactures bespoke chitosans and oligo-saccharides. Our process is vertically integrated (from resource to chitosan) and allows a full control of final specification, and a very high repeatability between production batches.
