Introduction
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a high-molecular-weight linear polysaccharide composed of repeating units of D-glucuronic acid (GlcUA) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) linked by β(1-3) and β(1-4) glycosidic bonds. The biopolymer is wide- spread in nature, having been identified in vertebrate soft tissues (e.g., skin, synovial fluid, and vitreous humor of the eye), cultured eukaryotic cell lines, and certain prokaryotes (21). In bacteria, particularly in Lancefield group A and C streptococci, HA is found in the form of a lavish extracellular capsule.
Overview
Introduction of Food Grade Hyaluronic Acid
Edible hyaluronic acid has some unique properties and functions, such as water retention, lubrication, viscosity, and good biocompatibility, so HA is widely applied to cosmetics, health food, Beauty filing operation, and pharmaceutics, etc.
The higher the molecular weight and concentration are, the slower the dissolution velocity will be.
Features of Food Grade Hyaluronic Acid
Our Food Grade Hyaluronic Acid is manufactured by fermentation with Streptococcus Equi, subsp. Zooepidemicus. It is non-animal sourced, non-GMO, and non-BSE/TSE risk. The raw materials used during the fermentation, including peptone, glucose, yeast extract, and other raw materials are all non-animal sources. Our production is strictly managed according to ISO 9001 and GMP standards and has been Kosher and Halal certified. It is a totally safe natural ingredient.

Advantages
In order to ensure the accuracy of test results, we test each batch of goods of our warehouse in laboratory. At the same time, we cooperate with many domestic third party testing institutions to ensure the long-term stability of our products. We also maintain long-term cooperative relations with the foreign independent laboratory to ensure that the quality of our local inventory meet customer requirements.
In the process of fermentation and purification, raw materials and subsidiary materials are all of Food Grade and Pharmaceutical Grade. Thereinto, peptone is divided into animal one which may have the potential risk of TSE (mainly to HA of Pharmaceutical Grade) and botanic one. There are special regulations for the substances which may cause TSE in pharmacopeia, laws and regulations.
