The Introductction of Glucosamine

Glucosamine is a common amino sugar and a derivative of glucose. A compound formed by replacing the hydroxyl group on the second carbon atom in glucose molecules with an amino group. A hydrogen atom on an amino group is often replaced by an acetyl group to form N-acetylglucosamine. It is rarely free in living organisms and mainly serves as a component of chitin, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans.

Glucosamine has the molecular formula C6H13NO5 and a molecular weight of 179.17. Glucosamine has the properties of a polyhydroxylamine and exists in the cell walls of crustaceans, insects, fungi, and bacteria in the form of polymers or derivatives. Chitin (a condensed polymer of N-acetylglucosamine) forms glucosamine when it is in water. α- The body is crystalline, with a melting point of 88 ℃, and undergoes rotation in aqueous solution[ α] D20100 ° → 47.5 ° (30 minutes). β- Needle shaped crystals are obtained from methanol, which decompose at 110 ℃ and undergo rotation in aqueous solution[ α] D2028 ° → 47.5 ° (30 minutes). Easy to dissolve in water, soluble in hot methanol, slightly soluble in cold methanol and ethanol, insoluble in ethe* and chloroform

The Application & Function of Glucosamine

Glucosamine is widely used in the production fields of hygiene drugs, health foods, beauty and cosmetics, etc. It plays an important health role in improving the life rate of human activities and promoting the growth of tissues that synthesize life substances in the human body.

1. In terms of immune regulation
Glucosamine participates in glucose metabolism in the body and is widely present, with a close relationship with humans and animals. Glucosamine combines with other substances such as galactose and glucuronic acid to form important bioactive products such as hyaluronic acid and keratin sulfate, which participate in the protective effect on the body.

2. Treatment of osteoarthritis
Glucosamine is an important nutrient for the formation of human chondrocytes, a basic substance for synthesizing aminoglycans, and a natural tissue component of healthy joint cartilage.

3. Antioxidant and anti-aging properties
Glucosamine can effectively chelate Fe2+and protect lipid macromolecules from oxidative damage by hydroxyl radicals, exhibiting antioxidant properties

4. Anti corrosion and antibacterial aspects
Glucosamine has a significant antibacterial effect on 21 common bacteria in food, and glucosamine hydrochloride has the most obvious antibacterial effect on bacteria. As the concentration of glucosamine hydrochloride increases, the antibacterial effect gradually becomes stronger.
