What is LEVAN?
Levan (CAS 9013-95-0) is a natural polysaccharide made of fructose units linked by β-(2→6) bonds . Bacteria and some plants produce this biopolymer extracellularly .
Unlike other fructans such as inulin, levan offers a unique combination of properties:
Low intrinsic viscosity despite high molecular weight
Thermal stability across a wide pH range
Biocompatibility and biodegradability
Film-forming and water-holding capacity
These characteristics make levan a valuable tool for researchers studying prebiotics, inflammation, drug delivery, and tissue engineering .
