Application

Dextran from Leuconostoc mesenteroides serves multiple purposes due to its unique properties as a polysaccharide with significant water-binding capabilities. It plays a crucial role in controlling the viscosity of products, making it valuable as a thickening agent and stabilizer in various formulations, including ice cream. Additionally, it is noted for its potential to enhance the anti-aging effectiveness of formulations containing weak acids while reducing skin irritation associated with these acids. Dextran is a glucose polymer produced by bacteria and is typically linked in an α-1,6 chain with occasional α-1,3 or α-1,4 branches. Its molecular structure allows it to be used as a substitute for plasma in blood transfusions, contributing to its versatility. Available in molecular weights of approximately 40 or 70 kDa (dextran-40 and dextran-70), it functions similarly to colloids, aiding in reducing interstitial edema due to its longer intravascular residence time compared to albumin. While it does not carry oxygen, dextran's roles extend to medical applications where its osmotic properties are beneficial. However, caution is advised as it can potentially act as a potent antigen and may induce anaphylaxis, given its bacterial origin.
