Basic Information
Product Introduction
| Appearance： | White or off-white crystalline powder. |
| Solubility： | Freely soluble in water, soluble in methanol and slightly soluble in ethanol. |
| Thermal Stability： | Stable under normal temperature and dry conditions, with good heat resistance; decomposes at approximately 280°C under strong heating. |
| Structural Characteristics： | Ectoine is a naturally occurring cyclic amino acid derivative containing a tetrahydropyrimidine ring and a carboxyl group. Produced by halophilic microorganisms as a compatible solute, it forms a stable hydration layer around biomolecules and cell membranes. |
Product Advantages
Produced through bio-fermentation, ECT offers the advantages of a sustainable production process, consistent quality, good water solubility, and excellent formulation compatibility. It helps maintain the hydration shells of biological macromolecules, stabilize proteins and cell membranes, and strengthen cellular resilience against environmental stress. In beauty and skincare, ECT supports long-lasting moisturization, soothes inflammation, repairs the skin barrier, protects against UV-induced stress, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, improves skin firmness, and enhances skin brightness. In agriculture, it helps crops withstand drought, salinity, high temperatures, and low temperatures, while stabilizing chloroplasts and enzyme activity, improving nutrient absorption, and supporting better crop quality and yield.
