Alginate Oligosaccharide (AOS):
Alginates is a natural polysaccharide present in a variety of brown seaweeds, has been widely used throughout the food industry, pharmaceuticals and animal feedstuffs.
Alginate oligosaccharide is an oligosaccharide derived from alginate by enzyme hydrolysis, which composed of (1-4)-linked α-L-guluronate (G Block) and β-D-mannuronate (M Block). After depolymerization, alginate oligosaccharide is with low molecular weight and low viscosity, which benefit for high activities and cells absorption use.
Benefits & Applications:
-Dietary Supplement:
Anti-tumor and Enhance Immunity; Anti-Alzheimer's Disease; Reduce Cholesterol Levels; Increase Bone Density and Ameliorate Osteoporosis
Benifitting from above functions, alginate oligosaccharide can be added to health food, beverage, dairy products and fruit juice to improve nutrition.
-Plant Vaccine:
Alginate oligosaccharide is a plant signal molecule; Activate plant immune system; Improve the disease resistance; Increase biotic and abiotic stress resistance.
Alginate oligosaccharide is a new & perfect ingredients to develop plant vaccine products. Moreover, AOS is nature and non-toxic, there is no chemical pesticide residue.
-Plant Growth Regulator:
Increase root formation from basal ends of vegetative propagation cuttings; Increase root formation of mature plants with mature root systems; Increase plant growth rate, photosynthetic rate. and other phytobiological responses
Above benefits are significant for Hydroponics.
- Animal Nutrition:
Alginate oligosaccharide is 5x more potent than fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) (inulin) the standard prebiotic. Enhance animal immune system;
Anti-microbial & Anti-bacteria;
Alternative to antibiotics; Promote growth to reduce F/G.
It has been proved effective for livestock, squaculture and horse.
-Cosmetics:
Resisting UV radiation; Antioxidant & Scavenging free radical; Moisturizing; Anti-bacteria & Anti-inflammatory.
