Description

Riboflavin Tetrapropionate CAS NO 7652-80-4 is a chemically modified derivative of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), where the hydroxyl groups are esterified with propionic acid. This modification significantly enhances its lipid solubility and stability compared to standard riboflavin, making it a valuable functional ingredient for advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food fortification, and animal feed industries seeking to improve the bioavailability and shelf-life of their vitamin-enriched products.

Application

• As a stable, fat-soluble form of vitamin B2 in dietary supplements and multivitamin preparations.
• For the fortification of lipid-based food products, such as edible oils, margarine, and high-fat nutritional beverages.
• As a key ingredient in premix formulations for animal feed to ensure vitamin stability during pelleting and storage.
• In the development of specialized pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations requiring enhanced vitamin stability.
• As a research chemical in biochemical and nutritional studies investigating vitamin delivery systems.
