1,5-anhydroglucitol

"1,5-anhydroglucitol(ANSOROL)" is a kind of anhydrosorbitol, which is also called 1,5-AG, is a rare sugar that has a similar structure to glucose. This is also a kind of natural product which exists widely in nature like plants, animals, and human body.
"1,5-anhydroglucitol(ANSOROL)" is included in a wide range of familiar food. (See Table 1) But the amount is small. Soy with a relatively large component of "1,5-anhydroglucitol" includes only 23g (23ppm) in total in 100kg.

Skin care

Because "1,5-anhydroglucitol(ANSOROL)" has the effect of leading to anti-aging, such as "moisturizing" and "collagen production promotion", you can use it as a new skin care material.

●Moisturizing effect

1,5-anhydroglucitol(ANSOROL)" has high moisturizing effect and excellent smooth feeling.

●Collagen production promoting action

"1,5-anhydroglucitol" has the effect of promoting the production of collagen type I.
* I type collagen: A collagen which accounts for more than 90% of the collagen that presents in the skin of human.

●Non-glycation

Most sugar causes the phenomenon of "glycation" when it is reacted with protein.
We call the material Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs), and it is said that AGEs relates largely to a wide variety of skin disease and skin problems such as age-related macular degeneration, dullness of skin, and decreased elasticity of skin. However, "1,5-anhydroglucitol" is the material that does not cause "glycation" by its characteristic structure.

Oral care

"1,5-anhydroglucitol(ANSOROL)" can be used as a new oral care material, because it has the effect of suppressing growth of Streptococcus mutans (tooth decay bacteria) that cause decayed tooth, and the formation of plaque.

●Growth Inhibition of Streptococcus mutans

"1,5-anhydroglucitol(ANSOROL)" strongly suppresses the growth of Streptococcus mutans.

●Inhibiting water-insoluble glucan synthesis

"1,5-anhydroglucitol(ANSOROL)" can be used as a new oral care material, because it has the effect of suppressing growth of Streptococcus mutans (tooth decay bacteria) that cause decayed tooth, and the formation of plaque.

Safety and others

Because "1,5-anhydroglucitol(ANSOROL)" is a biological component that presents in human body, it is very high safety material.
Good results in the following safety tests were obtained.
  • Single dose toxicity test
  • Skin irritation test
  • Patch test
  • Genotoxicity test
  • Eye irritation test
  • Continuous skin irritation test
