Schizophyllan: A High-Performance Natural Polymer for Advanced Applications

Schizophyllan (CAS 9050-67-3) is a natural β-glucan polysaccharide produced by the fungus Schizophyllum commune. Its unique triple-helix molecular structure gives it exceptional viscosity, stability, and biocompatibility — making it a key ingredient in the fields of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biotechnology.

Innovative Properties

Schizophyllan exhibits excellent water solubility and resilience across a wide pH and temperature range. It forms stable gels and films, enabling versatile use in formulations that demand both structural integrity and biological activity. Because it is non-toxic and biodegradable, Schizophyllan aligns with modern demands for safe and sustainable material solutions.

Applications Across Industries

• Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology – Used in controlled-release systems, gene delivery, and as an immunomodulatory compound that enhances the body’s natural defense response.

• Cosmetics & Personal Care – Valued for its moisturizing and skin-protective properties, Schizophyllan contributes to smoother, more hydrated skin while improving texture and elasticity.

• Biomedical Research – Serves as a biocompatible matrix for cell culture, tissue engineering, and wound-healing applications.
