Usage
It is an important precursor for the synthesis of bifidus factors and has many significant physiological functions in the body. It is a drug used in clinical practice to treat rheumatic and rheumatoid arthritis. As an antioxidant in food, a food additive for infants and young children, and a sweetener for diabetic patients
N-acetylglucosamine is a basic constituent unit of many important polysaccharides in biological cells, especially in the exoskeletons of crustaceans, where its content is the highest. It is an important precursor for the synthesis of bifidus factors and has many significant physiological functions in living organisms.
A derivatized glucose monomer found in the polymers of bacterial cell walls, chitin, hyaluronic acid, and various glycans. D-GlcNAc is used to identify, differentiate, and characterize N-acetyl-β-D-hexosaminidases.
NAG has important applications in tne fiels of food , medicine, health portucts, and cosmetics. It is a new type of food ingredient that hs been approved by the National Health Commission for use in various foods . Including:dairy products:develop joint healthy dairy products in synergy with milk protrin. Beverages:due to their high solbility, they are suitable for liquid systems and can be used to create functional bevereges. Jelly,candy,and pastry canalso be widely used to create fuctional foods. In addition, NAG has broad application prospects in joint health, skin moisturizing ,and repair , and is an effective ingredient for treating osteoarthritis and skin aging .
N-acetylglucosamine is a fundamental component of important biological polysaccharides such as glycoproteins and glycolipids within biological cells, and it is the constituent unit of chiain. Human milk also contains various oligosaccharides of N-acetylglucosamine. These sugars play important biological roles in organisms, such as protecting and supporting the body, immune regulation, information transmission, anti-infection, and anti-inflammation.
