MOQ: 1KG
Chemical Structure
Basic Info
Sucrose (CAS Registry Number: 57-50-1), commonly known as saccharose or D-(+)-sucrose, is a naturally occurring disaccharide composed of a glucose subunit and a fructose subunit linked via their anomeric carbons (alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->2)-beta-D-fructofuranoside). Represented by the molecular formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁, it is an odorless, white crystalline solid characterized by high aqueous solubility, optical activity, and non-reducing stability.
At Shandong Zhishang Chem Co., Ltd., our high-purity Sucrose is produced through advanced crystallization and refining protocols designed to meet stringent technical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology requirements. It serves as a reliable excipient, fermentation carbon source, and biochemical stabilizer across global manufacturing networks.

Product Packaging
Sucrose’s predictable aqueous behavior, biocompatibility, and non-toxic profile support its widespread utilization across diverse technical sectors:
Pharmaceutical Excipient & Binder: Functions as a tablet diluent, sweetening taste-masking agent, and wet-granulation binder in oral solid dosage forms and syrups.
Biotechnology & Fermentation Media: Serves as a primary carbon and energy source in microbial fermentation, recombinant protein expression, and mammalian cell culture.
Cryoprotectant & Osmotic Stabilizer: Protects proteins, liposomes, and cellular structures against freeze-thaw denaturation and osmotic stress during biological preservation.
Analytical & Chemical Reagents: Utilized as a primary calibration standard in analytical laboratories, polarimetry, and chromatography.
FAQ
A: While sharing the same chemical structure (CAS 57-50-1), pharmaceutical-grade Sucrose undergoes advanced purification to satisfy strict pharmacopeia limits regarding heavy metals, ash content, microbial bioburden, and reducing sugars.
A: Because Sucrose is hygroscopic, it should be stored in airtight, moisture-proof containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment (recommended below 25°C and relative humidity under 65%).
A: Yes. Every export shipment is accompanied by a batch-specific COA, SDS, and compliance statements confirming BSE/TSE-free status and residual solvent absence.
A: We supply Sucrose in 25 kg polyethylene-lined multi-wall paper bags, fiber drums, and custom moisture-resistant laboratory packaging.

Quality Management & Regulatory Certifications
To support complex pharmaceutical formulations and demanding industrial applications, Shandong Zhishang Chem adheres to rigid international manufacturing compliance:
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System: Standardized protocols governing crystal refining, centrifugal separation, and clean-room packaging.
GMP & Pharmacopeia Monograph Alignment: Manufactured in alignment with USP, EP, and JP standards for excipients and biochemical reagents.
ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000 Standards: Robust safety management systems ensuring freedom from microbiological contamination.
REACH Compliance Support: Comprehensive technical documentation dossiers provided for European Union importers and global formulators.
High-purity carbohydrate raw materials require rigorous analytical validation. Every production lot of Sucrose undergoes a four-stage internal testing protocol prior to Certificate of Analysis (COA) issuance:
Polarimetric Specific Rotation Assay: Measures optical rotation to verify exact molecular configuration and disaccharide purity.
Heavy Metal Trace Screening (ICP-OES): Quantifies trace impurities ensuring lead (< 0.5 ppm), arsenic (< 1 ppm), and copper remain well below pharmacopeia limits.
Microbiological Bioburden Testing: Validates total aerobic plate counts, yeast, mold, and pathogen absence for sterile media preparation.
Reducing Sugars & Sulfite Titration: Verifies minimal invert sugar content and absence of active sulfite residues.
