Curdlan, 10 g

Curdlan is a chemically defined substance with a molecular formula of C6H12O6 and a molecular weight of 180.16. It belongs to the polysaccharide class of compounds. This material has a structure consisting of repeating units of glucose residues linked together via beta-1,3 glycosidic bonds. Due to its unique structure, curdlan exhibits hydrophilic properties and forms rigid, fibrous networks when dissolved in water. These networks can be useful in various applications such as thickening agents, film formers, and biomedical materials. However, it is important to handle this substance with caution due to the potential for sensitization and respiratory issues, as indicated by the Danger signal word.
