Description

Riboflavin-5'-Monopalmitate is a lipid-soluble derivative of vitamin B2, where the riboflavin molecule is esterified with palmitic acid. This modification significantly enhances its stability and compatibility in lipid-based systems compared to water-soluble riboflavin. It serves as a vital source of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) in applications where oil solubility is required. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food, and cosmetic industries seeking to fortify fat-soluble products.

Application

• Primary ingredient in oil-soluble vitamin supplements and multivitamin preparations.
• Fortification of fat-based foods such as margarine, cooking oils, and fat-filled milk powders.
• Colorant and nutrient in pharmaceutical coatings and soft gelatin capsules.
• Functional additive in cosmetic and personal care formulations for skin conditioning.
• Nutritional enhancement of animal feed premixes for poultry and aquaculture.
• Used in clinical nutrition products, including enteral and parenteral formulations.
