- High Purity:
- Free from contaminants such as starch, proteins, and metals.
- Ensures reproducible results in microbiological assays.
- Wide Applications:
- Suitable for use in fermentation studies and as an ingredient in dehydrated culture media.
- Easy Solubility:
- Readily dissolves in distilled or deionized water for simple preparation.
- Stable and Long-Lasting:
- Hygroscopic powder with a 4-year shelf life, ensuring long-term usability under proper storage conditions.
Physico-Chemical Characteristics:
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Solubility in Water | >50 ppm |
| Loss on Drying | 160 ppm |
| Acidity | <0.0008 μg/g |
| pH of the Medium | 7.0 ± 0.2 |
Applications:
- Fermentation Tests:
- Used to study bacterial fermentation capabilities, aiding in the differentiation of species.
- Culture Media Preparation:
- Incorporated into dehydrated culture media to provide a reliable carbohydrate source for microbial growth.
