Fruits are not only rich in flavor and nutrients but also contain a wide array of bioactive polysaccharides with remarkable health-promoting properties. These naturally occurring macromolecules—extracted from fruit flesh, seeds, or pulp—have gained increasing attention for their antioxidant, hypoglycemic, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Compared to root- or stem-derived polysaccharides, fruit polysaccharides typically exhibit higher water solubility, favorable safety profiles, and distinctive monosaccharide compositions. Their wide applicability spans functional foods, pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and skincare products, especially in areas related to metabolic regulation and immune support.
Alfa Chemistry provides a curated portfolio of high-quality fruit polysaccharides, each sourced from well-established botanical species and supported by scientific literature and traditional use.
