Product details
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.
Core Application Areas
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?
