Product Description
D-Galacto-D-mannan from Ceratonia siliqua is a plant cell wall polysaccharide.
D-Galacto-D-mannan (Carob galactomannan, locust bean gum) is a neutral, water-soluble heteropolysaccharide isolated from the endosperm of carob (Ceratonia siliqua) seeds. It is a plant cell wall polysaccharide consisting of a mannan backbone with galactose side groups. The compound is a reserve carbohydrate of legume seed endosperm walls. It has a purity of ≥94% and appears as a fine, off-white powder. It is used as a reference compound in procedures that analyze plant cell wall polysaccharide composition. Galactomannan exhibits excellent water solubility and is used in various biochemical applications. It has potential antioxidant properties that protect plant cell walls.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
D-Galacto-D-mannan does not have a specific biological target as it is a plant-derived polysaccharide used as a reference compound and biochemical reagent. Its primary interactions are with enzymes that hydrolyze galactomannans, such as β-mannanase and α-galactosidase. These enzymes are present in various organisms and are involved in the degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharides. The compound's role is as a substrate for studying these enzymes and as a reference for polysaccharide analysis.
ln Vitro
In vitro activity of D-Galacto-D-mannan is characterized by its use as a substrate for glycoside hydrolases. The compound can be used in enzyme assays to measure the activity of β-mannanase and α-galactosidase. The release of reducing sugars from the polysaccharide can be quantified using colorimetric methods such as the dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) assay. The compound's water solubility and well-defined structure make it a useful substrate for studying carbohydrate-active enzymes.
ln Vivo
In vivo biological activity of D-Galacto-D-mannan is limited to its potential as a dietary fiber. Galactomannans are not digested in the human small intestine and can serve as fermentable substrates for gut microbiota, producing short-chain fatty acids. The compound has been associated with various physiological functions, such as promoting the proliferation of intestinal Bifidobacteria, lowering blood pressure and blood sugar, and preventing constipation, colon cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cellular experiments for D-Galacto-D-mannan typically involve its use as a substrate or reference compound in enzyme assays. A typical protocol includes dissolving the polysaccharide in buffer and incubating it with the enzyme of interest. The release of reducing sugars is measured using the DNS assay. The compound can also be used as a standard for the analysis of polysaccharide composition by methods such as GC-MS or HPLC after hydrolysis and derivatization.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays are not typically performed with D-Galacto-D-mannan, as it is primarily used as a reference compound and substrate for enzyme studies. However, its effects on gut microbiota can be studied in vitro using fecal fermentation models. The compound is not tested in mammalian cell culture models for pharmacological activity. Its applications are primarily in carbohydrate chemistry and food science.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies with D-Galacto-D-mannan are limited to its evaluation as a dietary fiber. Animal models can be used to study the effects of galactomannan consumption on gut microbiota composition, lipid metabolism, and glucose homeostasis. However, the compound is not used as a therapeutic agent, and its primary applications are in food and nutritional research.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of D-Galacto-D-mannan are not extensively characterized, as it is a dietary fiber and not a therapeutic agent. The compound has a high molecular weight and is not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. It is fermented by gut microbiota, producing short-chain fatty acids. No data on systemic absorption or distribution are available, as the compound does not enter the bloodstream.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for D-Galacto-D-mannan indicate that it is generally recognized as safe for use in food products. As a dietary fiber, it is well-tolerated at normal consumption levels. High doses may cause gastrointestinal discomfort due to its fermentable nature. No carcinogenic or reproductive toxicity data are available. The compound is considered safe for use in food and research applications.
Additional Infomation
Galactomannan is a heteropolysaccharide composed of a mannan backbone and galactose side chains. It has been reported that galactomannan is found in Antrodia camphorata, edible mushrooms, and other organisms with relevant data.
D-Galacto-D-mannan is a plant-derived polysaccharide used as a reference compound and biochemical reagent. Its CAS number is 11078-30-1. The compound is available with a purity of ≥94% from various suppliers. It is used in the analysis of plant cell wall polysaccharides and as a substrate for glycoside hydrolases. The compound is not approved for therapeutic use but is an important tool for carbohydrate research. It should be stored in a cool, dry place.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
