Carbohydrate analysis

Understanding the composition and functionality of carbohydrates is essential for developing high-quality food, biotech, and healthcare products. Carbexplore is the leading expert in elucidating the molecular characterization of carbohydrates. Contact us to find out how we can solve the structure of any carbohydrate you provide us with.

What we offer

Whether you need to characterize structures, assess functionality, or study enzyme interactions, our advanced analytical techniques deliver precise and reliable data for food, biotech, and healthcare applications.

Structural Analysis

Understanding the structure of carbohydrates is essential for optimizing their functionality. We analyze and characterize mono-, di-, and polysaccharides, providing insights into molecular composition, linkage types, and overall structure to support product innovation and quality control.

Functional Properties

The behavior of carbohydrates in a formulation depends on their solubility, stability, viscosity, and interaction with other ingredients. Our analysis helps you determine how carbohydrates contribute to texture, mouthfeel, and overall product performance—essential for developing high-quality food, biotech, and healthcare solutions.

Enzymatic Profiling

Carbohydrates often undergo enzymatic modifications during processing. We evaluate how specific enzymes interact with your carbohydrate ingredients, helping you optimize reaction conditions, improve efficiency, and achieve targeted functional properties.

Custom Analysis

Every product and process is unique. We offer tailored analytical solutions based on your specific R&D and production needs, providing data-driven insights to support your innovation and formulation goals.

State-of-the-art equipment

At CarbExplore Research, we use cutting-edge analytical equipment to elucidate the structure of any given carbohydrate. Our advanced tools allow for detailed carbohydrate analyses. We routinely perform monosaccharide composition analysis via HPAEC-PAD, as well as permethylation linkage analysis (PMAA) via GC/MS. The molecular weight of carbohydrates are measured via size exlusion chromatography, and we offer a wide range of 1D and 2D NMR analyses via a 600 MHz spectrometer. By combining innovation with high-quality instrumentation, we ensure reliable results for applications in food, biotech, and healthcare.

"Comprehensive carbohydrate analysis is the cornerstone of innovation in our field. It provides essential insights needed to design novel carbohydrates and tailor enzymes with precision, ultimately leading to breakthroughs in food, biotech and healthcare applications."
