Product Overview
Description:
MEL-B is a glycolipid biosurfactant matrix produced through the fermentation of vegetable oils by Pseudozyma yeasts, engineered as a structurally diverse mixture of high-purity MEL-B isoforms containing variable fatty acid chain lengths.
Synonyms:
(2R,3S,4S,5R,6R)-6-(acetoxymethyl)-5-hydroxy-2-((2S,3R)-2,3,4-trihydroxybutoxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4-diyl dipropionate; Mannosylerythritol Lipid B
Specification
Solubility in Ethanol:
≥10 mg/mL
Storage:
Storage at -20°C.
Applications:
MEL-B serves as a mannosylerythritol lipid reference standard for investigating glycolipid structural properties, self-assembly behavior, membrane interaction studies, and comparative analysis of lipid-based materials.
