Ferrous Gluconate Dihydrate powder Classification.

Ferrous gluconate (Iron(II) gluconate, ferrous gluconate) is a black compound, a salt formed by gluconic acid and ferrous ions. It is often used as an iron supplement. Unless otherwise specified, all data are from standard conditions (25 ℃, 100 kPa).

Uses of Ferrous Gluconate Dihydrate.

As a food iron fortifier, it has better absorption effect than inorganic iron. my country stipulates that it can be used in table salt and sandwich candies at a dosage of 4800-6000 mg/kg; in high-iron cereals and their products (daily limit of 50g of such food), it is 1400-1600 mg/kg; in dairy products and infant foods, it is 480-800 mg/kg; in cereals and their products, it is 200-400 mg/kg; in beverages, it is 80-160 mg/kg.

Ferrous Gluconate Dihydrate, due to its high absorption rate and low irritation, has become the preferred ingredient for capsules, tablets, and liquid supplements.
• 2. Food Fortification: Widely used for iron fortification in flour, cereals, nutrition bars, and beverages, complying with FDA and EU food additive regulations (E579). Its stable chemical properties and neutral flavor do not affect the taste and color of the final product.
• 3. Pharmaceutical Industry: Used as a main active ingredient in prescription and over-the-counter iron supplements for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia.
• 

Product Methods of Bulk Ferrous Gluconate Dihydrate powder.

It is produced by the neutralization of gluconic acid with reduced iron. It is produced by the reaction of a hot solution of barium or calcium gluconate with ferrous sulfate. It is produced by heating freshly prepared ferrous carbonate with gluconic acid in an aqueous solution.

FAQ

Q1: What are the advantages of Ferrous Gluconate Dihydrate compared to other forms of iron (such as ferrous sulfate and ferrous fumarate)?

A: Compared to ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate has higher bioavailability and fewer gastrointestinal side effects; compared to ferrous fumarate, it is more water-soluble, making it suitable for liquid formulations. Overall, it achieves an optimal balance between absorption rate, tolerability, and formulation suitability.

Q2: Is this ingredient suitable for vegetarian and vegan products?

A: Yes, Ferrous Gluconate Dihydrate is a chemically defined substance synthesized by reacting gluconic acid with an iron source. It contains no animal-derived ingredients and meets the requirements for vegetarian and vegan products.

Q3: What is the recommended addition level for food fortification?

A: The addition level depends on the type of target product and local regulations. Generally, the fortification dose is 15-25% of the daily reference intake (18 mg/day). It is recommended to consult regulatory experts during the formulation development stage to ensure compliance with FDA 21 CFR or EU Regulation 1925/2006.

Q4: What are the storage conditions and shelf life?

A: It is recommended to store in a cool (<25°C), dry, and dark environment, sealed in the original packaging. Under suitable conditions, the shelf life is usually 36 months. Use as soon as possible after opening and avoid moisture.

Q5: Is there a risk of allergens?
