Description

Zinc Glutamate is a coordination compound of zinc with the amino acid L-glutamic acid, valued for its role as a bioavailable source of zinc and its functional properties. This compound is significant for its dual functionality, serving as a nutritional supplement while also acting as a stabilizer or flavor enhancer in various formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food & beverage, and personal care industries seeking a high-quality, soluble zinc ingredient.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: As a bioavailable source of essential zinc for capsules, tablets, and powder blends.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to enrich products like health drinks, meal replacements, and cereal bars with zinc.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its potential skin-soothing and astringent properties.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Employed in certain medicinal products where zinc supplementation is required.
• Animal Nutrition (Feed Additives): Used in premixes to ensure adequate zinc intake for livestock and poultry health.
• Industrial & Research Applications: Serves as a reagent or catalyst in specific chemical synthesis and biochemical research.

Quality Control

Our Zinc Glutamate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, heavy metals, and microbiological parameters are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
