Description

Betaine Tartrate is an organic salt formed from betaine and tartaric acid, known for its stability and functional properties. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile intermediate and active ingredient in high-purity applications. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for formulation and synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and as an excipient in solid dosage forms.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Employed as a source of betaine in sports nutrition and health supplement formulations for its potential ergogenic and hepatoprotective benefits.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Functions as a skin-conditioning agent and humectant in moisturizers and serums due to its hygroscopic nature.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a reagent or standard in laboratory research and analytical method development.
• Food Additives: Can be utilized as a pH regulator or stabilizer in certain food processing applications, subject to compliance with local regulations.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block or catalyst in organic synthesis reactions.

Quality Control

Our Betaine Tartrate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. Specifications can be aligned with customer requirements for pharmaceutical (USP/EP), food (FCC), or industrial grades.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
