I. Basic Properties

Fishy sugar is a light yellow to brown oily liquid with an attractive, savory cooked fish oil aroma and a full fishy flavor. A 1% aqueous solution exhibits a prominent fishy aroma, with an overall rich and solid fragrance. Boiling point 110°C, flash point not easily ignitable, relative density (20°C) 1.325, freezing point -45°C. Soluble in ethanol, methanol, and water; slightly soluble in oils.

II. Development Trends (Feed Industry)

This glucose glutamate ester is a newly developed fishy-smelling material by our company. It is a compound combining glucose and glutamate with potential application value. As a functional food ingredient, it can be used to enhance nutritional value and flavor. With increasing consumer demand for healthy foods, its application in the food industry is expected to expand. As a drug carrier, it can improve drug solubility and bioavailability. In the cosmetics industry, it can be used to develop anti-aging additives. In the feed industry, it can be researched for use as a bactericide, flavoring agent, and appetite stimulant.
