In Focus : Allyl Glycidyl Ether
Allyl Glycidyl Ether (AGE) is a multifunctional organic intermediate made from epichlorohydrin and allyl chloride and is featured by high functionality and low chlorine content. Since it has an epoxy group and an allyl group, AGE reacts with a wide range of compounds.
In Focus : L-Fucose
L-Fucose is a colourless solid that belongs to class of deoxy sugars and is considered as one of the essential sugars for smooth functioning of the body. It occurs naturally in brown algal polysaccharide fucoidan and gums.
In Focus : Liposomal Iron
Liposomal iron involves encapsulating iron molecules within lipid bilayers. This encapsulation protects the iron from interactions with other compounds, enhance its stability, improve its bioavailability and low incidence of side effects.
