Glucosamine Powder Usage and Synthesis.

Glucosamine nutritional aid is extracted from the shells of crustacean seafood such as crabs, lobsters and shrimps. Crustacean seafood naturally produces this substance, just as humans do. Glucosamine supplements are known to be effective in treating osteoarthritis. This is because glucosamine is the precursor to glycosaminoglycans, which are the basic building blocks of cartilage needed by articular cartilage to repair cartilage tissue.

The body needs these glycosaminoglycans to make proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are cement-like substances made from proteins and sugars. It is the base material for cartilage before collagen is deposited in the joints.

The more glycosaminoglycans the articular cartilage contains, the higher the rate of cartilage formation. Since glucosamine is the precursor to glycosaminoglycans, glucosamine supplements can help reduce inflammation and swelling in the joints and rebuild damaged cartilage, which is beneficial in the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Uses and functions of Glucosamine.

It is widely used in the production of health medicines, health food, beauty cosmetics and other fields. It has an important health care role in increasing the life rate of human activities and promoting the growth of tissues that synthesise life substances in the human body.

Characteristic of Glucosamine.

Molecular formula C6H13NO5, molecular weight 179.17, glucosamine has the nature of polyhydroxy amines, in the form of polymers or derivatives in crustaceans, insects, moulds and bacteria in the cell wall.

Chitosan (condensate of N-acetylamino glucose) is generated when water is aminoglucose. α-body is crystalline, melting point 88 ℃, in aqueous solution, variable spin [α]D20100° → 47.5 ° (30 minutes). β-body is obtained from methanol as needle-like crystals, decomposed at 110 ℃, in aqueous solution, variable spin [α]D2028 ° → 47.5 ° (30 minutes). Soluble in water, soluble in hot methanol, slightly soluble in cold methanol and ethanol, insoluble in ether and chloroform.

Exists in chitosan, mucin, mucopolysaccharide. A trace organic component of seawater, particulate matter and marine sediments. The content in marine specimens can be determined photometrically after hydrolysis and cation exchange column separation. Preparation: by the reaction of dehydrated glucose with ammonia in absolute anhydrous ethanol, then hydrolysed to produce glucosamine crude.
